From Flagship® First to our new, lowest fare – Basic Economy – we're providing you with a new option to select a travel experience that best fits your needs.

With Basic Economy, get our lowest Main Cabin fare with the same great onboard experience including free snacks, soft drinks and entertainment. Plus, you’ll still earn American Airlines AAdvantage® award miles, and elite qualifying credits (EQMs/EQSs) at a reduced rate.

Some restrictions will apply:
• Seats assigned at check-in
• Fees to choose a specific seat
• Not eligible for upgrades
• No flight changes or refunds

Basic Economy goes on sale in late February on select routes.

Also only a personal item allowed, no carry on. They will have a sizer for the personal item. Group 9 boarding.

This a fare increase in disguise.

That boarding business in group 9 will be interesting. Right now, everybody and their brother (EXCEPT ME!!) have priority boarding. We often get group 2 boarding and the plane is 3/4 full before we get on! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Carol, I was 37th on the upgrade list recently (IAH-ORD) And I am platinum. Biggest problem with the mergers is that all of the regular travelers are now priority. Boarding group one, as you mentioned, was 3/4 of the plane!

I generally have just my backpack that fits under the seat in front of me. So I don't mind being the last one on the plane. That's less time I have to spend sitting.

Basic Life class is next. There will be an oval painted on the carpet where the person must stand upright during flight. There are some old Aeroflot pictures somewhere with the passengers standing.

How will serve as the carry on police?

I think we were in group 7 on our flight from Washington to LAX. I don't think there was anybody in our group with us. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Makes imminent sense to me. Change the rules and charge for stuff that is free now.. A fare increase in disguise..
