Identifying the author's main purpose will help you better comprehend the text, and understanding who the text's intended audience might be can give you insight into the writer's purpose.

Do your Homework about

Budget Airlines​

Paragraph1

Budget airlines are taking off as alternatives to traditional airlines, and they're making air travel around the world affordable. Nevertheless, you need to understand how to fly them first or risk receiving an unexpected hit to your wallet. ​

Paragraph2

Budget airlines offer ticket prices that may seem too good to be true, and often that's because they are. In many cases, those cheap fares are for one-way flights, while return flights are far more expensive. Moreover, you'll have to pay more if you want conveniences such as seat selection, extra legroom, food, and even water.
