Thank you to our readers for all your support over the years! This week, Emily and I are giving away a $200 American Airlines gift card!
You Can Book a Basic Economy Fare Between Philadelphia and Sunny Miami
I’ll show you how to enter!
American Airlines is now selling “Basic Economy” tickets along 10 US routes for travel beginning March 1, 2017.
Basic Economy fares are extra cheap tickets that are extremely restrictive. It is NOT a good deal for most folks. Here’s what you can expect with a Basic Economy fare:
- You can NOT choose your own seat
- You can NOT upgrade your seat (even if you have elite status)
- You can NOT take a carry-on bag – only 1 personal item that must fit under the seat
- You must board with the last boarding group
- Your ticket is NOT refundable or changeable, even for a fee
- You will only get half elite qualifying miles and segments (but full redeemable miles and elite qualifying dollars)
However, if you have an American Airlines co-branded credit card, like the Citi American Airlines Platinum Select (and aren’t concerned about elite status), these fares aren’t as bad. That’s because:
- You WILL be allowed a carry-on item
- You will NOT need to board with the last boarding group
If you enter this contest, you could win a $200 American Airlines gift card! And hopefully stay out of Basic Economy!
