So then at face value it is not acting like or really competing with ULCCs/LCCs. It’s trying to get a little extra spare change out of, what would have been, an otherwise empty seat. TED was a true direct competition to the LCCs and that didn’t last long.Originally Posted by Andy
The entire intent of legacy Basic Economy was to compete with ULCCs. It's a limited number of seats and only available if the flight's not sold out.
