We do have low-cost carriers like Spirit & Frontier airlines.
I know somebody who was in a long-distance Washington DC - Florida relationship and was able to get $20-$40 round-trip flights for weekend trips pretty regularly.

NYC SFO July 11 to 20 RT is about $330 to $350 on Spirit, Frontier, and Kayak (with better carriers).
They are not comparable to EasyJet and Ryan Air which does offer substantially lower fares.
