My mom will jokingly say that I take a flight like a bus.

Other than economic class, I had flown in business class too.

除了经济舱也搭过商务舱。

Yet to try first class flight. (Any sponsor?)

还没有试过头等舱。 （任何赞助商？）

When budget airlines were first introduced in Singapore just over a decade ago, I had tried them too.

当十多年前廉价航空首次在新加坡推出时，我也曾经试搭过。

At one point of time, I enjoyed flying via budget airline as I could rest / sleep the moment I got in the cabin.

有一段时间，我喜欢乘坐廉价航空，因为当我进入机舱时，可以直接休息 / 睡觉。

To me is very simple, I just need the plane to fly me from Point A to Point B.

对我来说很简单，我只需要飞机把我从A点飞到B点。

I do not need any kind of service from the flight attendants.

我不需要空服人员的任何服务。

But eventually I had lost interest in budget airline as it is norm for flight delay.

但是逐渐的我对廉价航空失去了兴趣，因为航班延误是正常的事。

What are the differences between budget airlines and full-service airlines?

Other than the price, legroom is something to consider too.

除了价格之外，脚部的伸展空间也是需要考虑的事项。

Normally budget carriers have very limited legroom.

通常廉价航空脚部的伸展空间非常有限。

If you have long legs, you can either forgo the budget airlines or chop off your legs to squeeze into the seat.

如果你有一双长腿，你可以放弃廉价航空或考虑砍掉你的双脚来挤进座位。

You can forget about the comfort of using the boarding bridge.

你可以把舒适地使用登机桥给忘了！

Some airports do not provide boarding bridge for budget airline travellers.

有些机场不提供廉价航空旅客登机桥。

Passengers need to climb the stairs to board their aircraft.

乘客需要自己爬楼梯上飞机。

It may sound crazy, it is best you can bring along your umbrella just in case it rains.

这可能听起来很疯狂，最好你可以带上你的雨伞，以防万一下雨。

Although most budget airlines provide umbrellas during rainy days but passengers have to take turns.

尽管大多数廉价航空公司会在雨天提供雨伞，但僧多粥少得轮流用。

So when purchasing the ticket it is better to indicate whether assistance is needed.

因此，购买机票时最好表明是否需要协助。

There were cases whereby passengers with hearing impair or in wheelchairs were banned from boarding the aircraft.

曾经发生过，有听力障碍或轮椅的乘客被禁止登机。

Passengers will be transported from the departure hall to the aircraft by buses.

廉价航空公司会用巴士把乘客从出发大厅运送至停机坪。

The bus will not start until a certain number of passengers have been on board.

巴士只有在有一定数量的乘客上车后才会启动。

There are not many seats, so most of the passengers must stand.

座位不多，所以大部分乘客都必须站立。

Even if you have seat, do not expect to rest as you will be bombarded with noises.

就算有得坐也别休想在巴士上闭目养神，因为你会被南腔北调疲劳轰炸。

For those who cannot travel without food, it is advisable to order the food when purchase the ticket.

对于那些不能没有食物的乘客来说，购买机票时最好一起订购食物。

It is cheaper than to buy it on board.

这要比在机上再购买便宜。

Reality is always cruel.

What you see, is most of the time, not what you get.

你所看到的，大部分时间，不是你所得到的。

Budget airline cannot expect too much.

都说是廉价航空咯，那就将就点呗。

The only advantage of flying budget airline is the close contact with the aircraft.

乘坐廉价航空的唯一好处就是与飞机的近距离接触。
