Europe’s Ryanair has its eye on low-cost transatlantic service in a few years with fares as low as $12 (!), and Canadian/British airline Zoom plans to start low-cost JFK-London flights for $255, pending DOT approval. Our question: Now that low-cost airlines are flourishing on domestic U.S. routes, do you think it’s time for low-cost service across the Atlantic and Pacific? Would you be willing to put up with fewer frills on long-haul flights for a better fare? What services and amenities would you never give up on transcontinental flights?

Their concept is great. Don't know how their seat plan would work for a long flight. But they have it right. Cheap flights and buy or bring what you need. The legacy airlines stink. The food isn't worth a dam and the service mixed at best. If they can't offer good service and decent food and seating for the price, might as well go cheap!
