Not really a budget, when those planes land in an airport 100 miles away from your city destination. Then you have spend money on a taxi or limo. Plus budget airlines have a habit of cancelling flights without compensation. Buyer beware. You get what you pay for. The lowest price isn't always the best price.

I remember the first time a GF of mine found us "this amazing deal" on a trip to Orlando. We flew into Sanford and like most others were confused as to where we were. The cabbie said that Sanford advertises as being "minutes away from Disney", and it is, 59 minutes. His entire job was ferrying unsuspecting tourists back & forth to Sanford.
