The flights NEVER cost what they're listed as. haha that is a fact!
I use skyscanner and I've already accepted that for every cheap ticket I see, I have to add at least $40-50 on top of it. It's always "baggage isnt free, or carry on baggage costs an additional (insert amount here).
All and All, it still works for me BUT that's only when hopping countries in Asia... in Europe I go with better airlines if possible.
Seat Recliners are annoying as hell but I've given up on that battle as well. I just fly seating in the Indian position hahaha
