Transatlantic Flights Are Cheaper <br />Than Ever Options for taking affordable transatlantic flights <br />have grown exponentially. It's all thanks to the arrival of new low-cost airlines and the introduction of stripped down fares from <br />the traditional ones. Low-cost airlines are known to strip back their on-board offering to attract passengers with a basic "no frills" ticket price. This is considered to be an extremely attractive deal compared to the standard prices charged by <br />mainline carriers. They also use the latest generation of aircraft which are much lighter and more fuel efficient. This makes it cheaper than ever now to transport passengers over greater distances.
