Worldwide Budget Airlines

    I came across a couple of good budget airlines around the World that I thought people who are planning to travel might like to know about. If anyone else knows of any other (decent) non-European budget airlines, feel free to add them here.


    Air Asia (South East Asia) - They have a very extensive and cheap network for South East Asian destinations with prices on flights like Bangkok to Hanoi for only €30! (Bargain!) They also serve less popular places like Jakarta and Macau which is nice.


    Virgin Blue (Australia, NZ & South Pacific) - Everyone who's been to Oz in the last few years knows about this company, but I wasn't aware that they now fly to New Zealand, Tonga, Vanuata, Samoa and the Cook Islands. They also have very handy internal flights between smaller population centres (eg. Broome to Hobart and Townsville to Newcastle).


    Spicejet (India) - For anyone planning a trip to India (Me one day!!!), this is one of the few budget airlines which has emerged recently from the region. At the moment, they only offer internal flights, but for roughly €40 you can travel Delhi to Goa direct which sounds good to me. Definately worth considering if you've only a short time there.

    That could come in very handy, cheers.
