How to tell if you're flying a "Low Cost Carrier (LCC).":
IF the staff, from the person checking you in to the flight attendants, are wearing polo shirts and tennis shoes...you're flying on a LCC.
If all the seats on the aircraft look the same (no first-class cabin)...you're flying on a LCC.
If you ARE flying in first-class and the wine is being served in plastic cups...you're flying on a LCC.
If you're choice of seating is what's left after those who paid in advance for a seat assignment (or you weren't offered a seat assignment at all)...you're flying on a LCC.
If the airline's idea of "gourmet cuisine" is honey-roasted peanuts and turkey jerky...you're flying on a LCC.
If when your flight is canceled and are told "we can't re-book you on another airline (no interline agreements) and our next available flight is in two days"...you're flying on a LCC.
If you can't buy a ticket for the airline on Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity...you're flying on a LCC.
If the safety briefing is sung, rapped, or delivered with "schtick" in-between the instructions...you're flying on a LCC.
If you're asked to carry cases of soda, ice, or bags of peanuts down the jetway to be delivered to the flight attendant...you're flying on a LCC.
If the airline departs from an airport that no other airline uses and has nothing but a newsstand with only the local Pennysaver and the Auto Trader for reading material...you're flying on a LCC.
If you can trade in your soda can at the end of a flight for the 5 cent deposit...you're flying on a LCC.
Okay...this has gone on long enough. If anyone cares to add to this feel free.
