fără fasoane

Definition from own experience or research:
"Fără fasoane"/ "fără pretenţii" este un termen folosit pentru a descrie produse sau servicii oferite fara anumite imbunatatiri, pentru a pastra pretul scazut.
Example sentences:
De exemplu, o serie de companii aeriene „fără fasoane” (engl. no frills) din Europa, precum Ryanair, Buzz, British European sau Bmybaby, au fost supuse unor critici vehemente datorită amăgirii călătorilor amatori de bilete ieftine. Preţurile la care se face reclamă sunt disponibile pentru un mic procent al zborurilor şi impun anumite restricţii de rezervare a biletelor care, adesea, nu sunt foarte clar aduse la cunoştinţa publicului (AFACERI ŞI CONSUMATORI)
