ترجمتها شركة الطيران بكلمة رخيصة ولكن سبق الزملاء فترجموها أيضاً غير مرفهة
فتصبح: رحلات الطيران الطويلة غير المرفهة

رحلات طويلة قياسية الميزات

Explanation:
no-frills= basic; that is no extra or special features. (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=frills definition)

haul = transport (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=haul definition)

So I guess "رحلات طويلة/بعيدة أساسية الخدمة" too would make sense
