It seems that airlines are looking to improve upon security wait times with some interesting tactics next year. Companies like Delta and United are trying to take back customers from smaller airlines that have been laying out flat fees for flights. It is controversial however whether this will be good or bad for customers… Read today’s blog to find out what customers have in store next year!
No Carry-Ons!
Delta and United are looking to take back customers from other companies like Spirit and Frontier who are able to offer $49 flights. Of course, the planes don’t offer the same amenities without added fees. It’s the price you pay to spend less, apparently. To match their prices, larger airlines are taking away some amenities from customers. The biggest of those amenities being full-sized carry-ons. However, this has airlines questioning whether limited carry-ons will improve wait times.
Basic Economy Fares
Basic Economy Fare is the name created for the lowered fares created by the big commercial guys. We’ll be seeing these prices in the direction where competition is highest for the big guys. The other differences we’ll be seeing is that we could still earn frequent flier miles with these basic economy purchases but they won’t count toward all of the advantages of regular economy flights. The airlines also can’t promise that large groups will be seated together.
These flight prices could be perfect for economical flyers in couples or singles who don’t need much to be happy on a flight. Would you take advantage of these low prices for the changes?
