    When is a low-cost airline not a "no-frills" airline? When it adds frills. Business travellers who have 0 enthusiastically to value-for-money air 19 are now being offered packages more commonly associated with mainstream airlines.
    To date, the attraction of no-frills airlines has been based on price; forget the more convenient departure points, creature comforts or ease of 20 Easyjet, Ryanair and Debonair have all undercut leading carriers by as 21 as 70 percent on high volume routes.
    However, in the wake of increased competition and aggressive price-cutting from mainstream airlines such as KLM UK, three no-frills airlines are changing tack. Virgin Express is 22 leg-room and is contemplating the 23 of a frequent-flyer programmes Go, owned by British Airways, is wooing the business traveller; and Debonair is introducing a business class section next week.
    Debonair, based at Luton Airport, north of London, was launched just over two years ago and went into 24 for the first time this summer. Even when it started, it 25 itself slightly apart from its low-cost competitors by offering more seat comfort, a drink in-flight and a 26 frequent-flyer scheme.
    Debonair’s business class, called ABC, will give 27 more privacy during the flight, a fully-refundable, flexible ticket, a free bar, a snack and a dedicated check in desk. Yet the 28 will remain as much as 40 percent below the average business class ticket price.
    Other low-cost airlines, however, are standing 29 , Even so, Easyjet, which markets itself on lowest price, no catering and direct sell, has now introduced a ￡ 10 30 to allow its passengers to 31 from one Easyjet flight to another. This is effectively a concession to the business traveller, who needs more flexibility.
    Attempts by Virgin Express, Go and Debonair to move upmarket are being 32 by some as the beginning of a consolidation in the sector. With so much 33 on price, it seems likely that some players in the low-cost airline business will fail to survive.
