Our lowest Main Cabin fare

Same great service
If you want our lowest price, try the new Basic Economy fare. There are some restrictions, but you’ll still get a comfortable seat in the Main Cabin and enjoy free snacks, soft drinks and inflight entertainment.

We'll start selling Basic Economy in late February on select routes. A ticket gets you a seat in the Main Cabin, with restrictions including:

  • 1 item that fits under the seat (no access to overhead bins)*
  • Seats assigned at check-in
  • Fees to choose a specific seat
  • Not eligible for upgrades
  • No flight changes or refunds
  • Board in last group*
Baggage restrictions
Each person can board with 1 item such as a purse or small handbag that fits under the seat. You won't have access to overhead bins.

All other items must be checked at ticket counters. If you take them to the gate you'll pay an extra $25 gate service fee per item plus the applicable bag fee.

Under the seat items can't be larger than:
  • 18 x 14 x 8 inches
  • 45 x 35 x 20 cm
Carry-on baggage

Seat restrictions
You can choose a specific seat within 48 hours of departure, but a fee will apply. Otherwise, seats will be automatically assigned for free when you check in.

Föga förvånande drag från American eftersom deras kompisar Delta och United har infört något liknande...

Undrar om de kommer erbjuda oneworld-medlemmar med status samma prioritet som AAdvantages egna statusmedlemmar?

Noterar hur de försöker uttrycka sig positivt "Same great Main Cabin seatm snacks and inflight service"... Jomenvisst ;)
 
Bra att de gör ngt åt handbagagekaoset, men skulle tro att det åtminstone inledningsvis leder till ännu mer förseningar på ofta redan försenade flighter.
 
Då ska ni resa Port-au-Prince - New York. Man blir som regel 30 min sen och alltid lika förvånad över hur man egentligen fått igenom deras handbagage, stora som hockeytrunkar och handväskor stora som Ikea kassar:confused:.
