I think that leads on to the next topic “how to save money?”. 

I don't know I used to take red-eye flights.

Same here.

红眼航班, 也就是差不多12点或者半夜之后出发的航班.

I actually prefer ride red-eye flights...

Because you can go to sleep.

I can sleep on planes now. Because I'm traveling backs and forwards to the UK so often now that I can actually sleep on planes. So I don't like planes like during the day because you can't really sleep and it's too bright.

But when you arrive, you still have to push through, although is your bedtime. And also budget airlines I think we both did budget airlines so 廉航, those budget to the ridiculous degree that they would charge you to go to toilets.

Well, they said they were gonna do that. Thankfully they tried, thankfully they didn't. But the only thing with budget airlines is that the airports are so far away. So for example in London, one of the main budget airline airports is about 50-60 miles away from London.

So that's what, like 70 kilometers as literally in another city.

It is.

Budget airlines, and there are also hidden costs. 廉航有很多隐藏的收费. You look at the price and you think this is so cheap, but most of us will have a check-in luggage and they charge you exorbitant price with the check-in luggage.

Yeah. Ad if you want to select your seat, they charge you for that. And if you want to check in without a boarding card at the airport, they charge you for that.

Everything, you have to pay for everything and they're very strict about that.

Yes.

So I don't really take budget airlines for longer trips just a... very like an hour and half trip.
