Air travel is not cheap. But which airlines offer the greatest bang for your buck?

Skyscanner surveyed 4,000 UK travelers to find out which airlines they believe offer the best value. The results might surprise you.

The number one spot went to Norwegian, an airline that seems to be popping up everywhere these days. Norwegian generated buzz in October when the airline announced that it would add super cheap long-haul flights from Gatwick Airport to the U.S. The flights will begin in July and cost travelers around $50.

Second place went to easyJet, followed by British Airways, Jet 2 and Monarch. British Airways is the only non-budget airline on the list.

Despite changing some of its controversial practices, Ryanair did not make the list.

With attention and praise going to Norwegian, things look good for the low-cost airline with high hopes. And, let's be real Norway always wins.

Which airlines do you think offer the best value?
