Not every low-cost carrier implements all of the above points. For example, some try to differentiate themselves with allocated seating, while others operate more than one aircraft type, still others will have relatively high operating costs but lower fares.

The price policy of the low cost carriers is usually very dynamic, with discounts and tickets in promotion. Even if the advertised price may be very low, sometimes it does not include charges & taxes.

As the number of low-cost carriers has grown, these airlines have begun to compete with one another in addition to the traditional carriers. In the US, airlines have responded by introducing variations to the model. Frontier Airlines and JetBlue Airways advertise satellite television. Advertiser-supported Skybus Airlines launched from Columbus in 2007, but ceased operations in April, 2008. In Europe, the emphasis has remained on reducing costs and no-frills service. In 2004, Ryanair announced proposals to eliminate reclining seats, window blinds, seat headrest covers, and seat pockets from its aircraft.[2]

The budget airlines frequently offer flights at low prices – often flights are advertised as free (plus applicable taxes, fees and charges.) Perhaps as many (or as few) as ten percent of the seats on any flight are offered at the lowest price, and are the first to sell. The prices steadily rise thereafter to a point where they can be comparable or more expensive than a flight on a full-service carrier.

Low-cost carrier business model practices include: * a single passenger class * a single type of aeroplane (commonly the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 families), reducing training and servicing costs * a minimum set of optional equipment on the aeroplane, further reducing costs of acquisition and maintenance, as well as keeping the weight of the aircraft lower and thus saving fuel: o no AVOD etc.; often excluding conveniences such as ACARS and autothrottle o no in-flight entertainment systems made available o no seat recliners, seat pockets, window blinds or seat headrest covers * a simple fare scheme, such as charging one-way tickets half that of round-trips (typically fares increase as the plane fills up, which rewards early reservations) * flying to cheaper, less congested secondary airports and flying early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid air traffic delays and take advantage of lower landing fees * fast turnaround times (allowing maximum use of aircraft) * unreserved seating (encouraging passengers to board early and quickly, thus further decreasing turnaround times) * simplified routes, emphasizing point-to-point transit instead of transfers at hubs (again enhancing aircraft use and eliminating disruption due to delayed passengers or luggage missing connecting flights) * encourage the use of direct flights. Luggage is not automatically transferred from one flight to another, even if both flights are with the same company. * generation of ancillary revenue from a variety of activities, such as a la carte features and commission-based products * emphasis on direct sales of tickets, especially over the Internet (avoiding fees and commissions paid to travel agents and computer reservations systems) * employees working in multiple roles, for instance flight attendants also cleaning the aircraft or working as gate agents (limiting personnel costs) * a disinclination to handle Special Service passengers, for instance by placing a higher age limit on unaccompanied minors[1] than full service carriers * aggressive fuel hedging programs * avoiding using jetways to board and alight passengers by using a mobile stairway which is a cheaper alternative. * not supplying meals in a flight, but offering snacks, sandwiches and drinks instead to purchase on board
