What It Shows
This infographic breaks down the variety of areas where low-cost airlines have managed to cut corner to save money and pass those savings onto the consumer looking for cheap flights.
Why It’s Good
The information is very comprehensive, and you come away with a fairly solid grounding of knowledge as to how low-cost airlines can offer such cheap travel options. As a frequenter of RyanAir, I had always wondered how they could possibly cost so much less. Having seen this infographic, it makes a lot of sense. The employee to passenger ratio is probably the most interesting stat, and I’m glad they’ve included it.
The infographic is a pleasure to look at, too. I like the little icons for each variable, and how they are consistent but differ slightly and constructively between the expensive and cheap sides.
What It’s Missing
This didn’t necessarily need an inforgraphic to portray the data, and it doesn’t really capture any heavily multi-parameter comparisons. That said, I’m glad it was presented as visually as it was, even if the visuals weren’t crucial for the data.
