• For each question (19-33), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.
When is a low-cost airline not a ’no-frills’ airline? When it adds frills, business travellers who have taken enthusiastically to value-for-money air (19) are now being offered packages more commonly associated with mainstream airlines.

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.
