I've just noticed that the last 6 flights I've booked are all on BA, because there were cheaper overall than Ryanair or Easyjet, taking into account distance from my home, airport parking, baggage required, drink on board, airport lounge availability, timings etc etc......these 'low cost' airlines are always what they claim.
