LCC and ULCC seemed to prosper when they offered medium sized aircraft, nonstop to easy-to-get-into out of airports, not major airline hubs. Then they all said we can get bigger variants of the planes we fly then they said well now we have to fly to biz centers in order to attract biz traffic and more people. Now they are largely in direct competition with legacy airlines without all the perks and redundancy.
