If you check the website of the Thailand-based budget airline One-Two-Go, this is the message that will greet you:

Singapore Airlines has reconfigured five of the airline’s A340-500s with 100 of the airline’s new award-winning Business Class seats for use in the all business class long haul flights between these two […]
If you find yourself flying over the Indian subcontinent frequently, you might want to take participate in SriLankan Airlines’ newly launched frequent flyer programme, the FlySmiLes. In addition to the usual miles collection, FlySmiles members also get to enjoy additional baggage privileges:

Earlier this week, Oasis Hong Kong suddenly announced that they are out of business and left thousands of passengers high and dry. Oasis Hong Kong is the first long-haul budget airline, flying between London and Vancouver, and Hong Kong.
Since then, the airlines have been making arrangements with hotels and other airlines where passengers may make […]
It used to be that flying with Malaysia-based budget airline Air Asia allows you to check in up to 20kg of luggage for free. Well, effective April 21, 2008, not anymore!
Checked baggage will be charged on a per piece basis up to a maximum combined weight of 15kg. Anything over 15kg will be charged as […]
