I booked flights to STT on Delta, and looking to save a little money for Painkillers, booked a fare titled "Basic Economy" This fare in non-refundable, non-changeable, and the seat assignments are given at checkin. Not too concerned about refunds or changes, we do have travel insurance for a major issue, but I'm wondering if my wife and I might be sitting together?
There was an up-sell button before I pushed go on the reservation, and for an additional $50, we could have chosen seats at booking.
I've got a little buyers remorse, and wondered if anyone has bought these "Basic Economy" tickets, and what was your experience?

I have used this option. It really depends on how booked the flight is. My son and I were not seated together and there was no moving it. It wasnt too concerning as he is a teenager and didn’t care. 😫😫 but if the flight isn’t booked my experience is the agents will work with you. But you are low man on the totem pole so you wait til the end. But $100 is a lot of painkillers so hopefully it’s worth it

We fly delta every time and use the basic economy. Have never really had any issue. Keep checking the change fees, as for this summer I was able to get next to my wife for 5 dollars a ticket. We usually pay the extra to pick our seats, and never get trip insurance. The only way we would cancel is if someone died, and then I'm not really worried about it anyway. Have fun, see you this summer.
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.
