Budget Airlines are not always the cheapest:

Google Translate version:

Have you heard about when Bjørn Kjos was to buy Trondheim’s cheapest beer?
Budget Airline Norwegian’s CEO Bjørn Kjos walks into a bar in the capital of Trønder.

One beer please.

It will only be 5 kroner, Mr. Kjos.

Wow, that was cheap!

Yes we serve the cheapest beer in Trondheim.

Here you get good value for money!

I can see that you do not have a glass with you, so you can probably use one of ours. It costs 15 kr.
Kjos looked angrily at the bartender, but decided not to complain.
He went to a table to have the beer served there.

I’m sorry, but you probably did not book a table before you came, it costs 20 kr. extra. If you had booked in advance it would only cost ten!

And sorry, but you seem to be a little too big for our seats. You probably fill up a little too much.space. It costs 40 NOK.
Kjos is upset now and claims that no one is so small that they can stay inside the small seats.
But he gives up and picks up his iPad from his bag.

Sorry again Kjos, but we do not allow that type of electronics here, but for NOK 30 you can buy a license.
Kjos has now spent 105 kroner to be served a beer for a fiver.
He is very impatient and shouts; Is the BEER coming SOON!

Unfortunately Kjos, I have just been told that the beer has been canceled due to technical problems and the weather. Here’s your five for beer.

But what about the other NOK 105 I have paid?

In accordance with EU rules, we only have to refund the price of beer, additional services are not included.

Thank you for visiting, and remember for another time that we serve Trondheim’s cheapest beer!

This is so true. Its why I am usually willing to pay a few dollars more to fly on a real airline, not support these scam artist “budget” airlines.

Budget Airlines are usually only worth it if you don’t have any bags and you’re on a non-stop flight.
