No-frills” Travel: A Low-Cost Approach that Cuts out All Non-Essential Goods and Services
“No-frills” travel is a term used to describe a low-cost approach to traveling that eliminates all non-essential goods and services. This means that travelers who opt for “no-frills” travel can expect to pay less for their transportation, lodging, and activities, but they will also need to forgo the luxuries that come with higher-priced options.
“No-frills” travel often includes budget airlines, hostels or low-cost hotels, and basic transportation options such as buses or trains. Additional amenities such as in-flight meals, baggage allowances, and room service are often excluded from the basic price of the ticket or lodging. This allows those on a tight budget to still travel while minimizing their expenses.
While “no-frills” travel may not be suitable for everyone, it can be an excellent option for those who prioritize budget-friendly travel. It can also be a refreshing change of pace for travelers who want to experience a more authentic and stripped-down travel experience.
