American Airlines Introduces New Basic Economy Fare - NASDAQ.com
" It’s a new fare product in Main Cabin, meaning Basic Economy customers will get the same on-board experience as everyone else in Main Cabin. In exchange for getting our lowest price, they’ll give up some amenities, including a large carry-on bag in the overhead bin, the ability to upgrade, and the ability to choose a seat for free. It’s not a new discount, it’s a new set of features for our lowest fares."
The beginning of the end, or a step in the right direction to help AA compete?
