Flydubai

It turns out that one of the world's most iconic cities is a far-flung getaway for many. However, it is definitely worth the trip to experience Dubai at least once in your life.
Unlike any other city, this luxurious desert oasis can empty your bank account upon arrival, but it doesn't have to be that way to get there.
Dubai's flagship airline flies to Europe, Asia and of course the Middle East. Unfortunately, there is no non-stop stops from the United States, so Americans will have to log in.
Flydubai's fleet holds a perfect 5-star product rating and 7-star safety rating, according to AirlineRatings.
Eurowings

Red Bull can gives you wingsbut you won't get very far by flapping your arms with a fast heart rate.
Your trip is best left to Eurowings, a lesser-known airline based in Düsseldorf, Germany.
As one of the world's leading low-cost carriers, you can save on airfare while visiting some of Europe's top destinations.
Eurowings has an extensive network despite flying Under the radar. Visit popular cities like London and Barcelona, or venture into the unknown like Yerevan, Armenia.
Wherever you go, you're in good hands. The airline holds a 5-star safety rating.
easyJet

EasyJet is another European airline that is making savings. Even if you don't know the capitalization rules, don't let that stop you from trusting them with your travel adventures.
Even though their product ratings are down, they too have a perfect safety rating.
UK-based EasyJet, one of the most recognizable European low-cost airlines, flies to some truly great locations, including 2 airports in Iceland.
From Scandinavia to Eastern Europe, easyJet has you covered without leaving a trace on your bank account.
Cebu Pacific

The Philippines is one of the cheapest countries in Asia and also easy to reach on a budget. Best of all, you can not only fly cheaply to Manila, but also to phenomenal islands like Cebu.
Cebu might not be first on your list when you think of an epic Asian adventure, but hey, money talks.
Even if the Philippines isn't your destination of choice, the fact that Cebu Pacific flies to many cool places, like Australia and the “Las Vegas of Asia”, it makes for a superb stopover, to say the least.
Of course, it helps that United now flies non-stop to Cebu to make getting here even easier.
Cebu Pacific holds perfect safety and product ratings.
Air Canada Rouge

Say what you want about Canada these days, but you can't blame Canadians for needing a nice vacation to places like Montego Bay.
Since Swoop and Lynx retired, Rouge and Flair are the bottom couple in terms of travel budget, with the latter rated much higher.
“Red” in particular is not listed on AirlineRatings, but Air Canada Express holds an impressive 6/7 stars for safety and 4/5 stars for its product.
So let's hope Air Canada doesn't replace the nuts and bolts with maple syrup on its economy brand.
airBaltic

Ahh, the Baltics. What a beautifully underrated side of Europe. Travelers may not know that this airline, based in Riga, Latvia, flies to some impressive destinations.
Of course, the Baltics are not limited to Riga and the majority of the region is widely considered very affordable, especially Vilnius.
The first low-cost airline in the Baltics holds a perfect safety rating and 4/5 stars for its product.
Air Asia

Besides Europe, Asia is undoubtedly the most pleasant region in the world to visit and Air Asia makes it easy and affordable.
Based in Malaysia, travelers can jet off to off-the-beaten-path countries like Myanmar or iconic destinations like Thailand.
Just as Frontier offers its unlimited flights subscription in the United States, Air Asia has their own version also, making your travels smooth.
The popular budget carrier holds a perfect safety rating and 4/5 stars for its product.
