How to choose between them
- Check both airlines' current baggage allowance and fees before comparing headline fares — policies change and aren't reflected in ticket price alone.
- A low-cost carrier's base fare rarely includes seat selection, priority boarding, or checked luggage — add those costs before comparing to a full-service fare.
- If either belongs to an alliance, factor in loyalty points and lounge access if that matters to you.
- Check which hub each airline flies via if you need a connection, not just a direct route.
- Use the search box above for a live, same-day quote from each airline on your specific route — this page compares real historical patterns, not a live checkout.
