Not anymore it's not, at least in the US. Economy seats to vacation destinations are now going for what used to be first class pricing. For example, want a direct flight to Aruba from Newark? That will be $2,000. The only way to get a decent price today is to either have a lot of date flexibility, or to be okay with multiple stops.
I was thinking Ryanair, Norwegian or the other low price flights, anywhere in Europe is typically €20. That's cheap, the train would cost up to €200 and take much longer time.
Flying these days is incredibly cheap. But still, the amount received in free gibs is ridiculously high, even higher than taking a low wage job.
