You seem to think i look down on people who take low cost lol, ive taken plenty myself and the more ive taken, the more ive realised its just not worth it. Im not sure what country or low-cost youve taken but as an example:

London to Paris leaving 21 Nov - 27 November

Vueling + 1 luggage - 133euros per person

British Airways + 2 luggage - 166 euros per person

doesnt seem outrageous
