I just checked the route to West Palm I fly and they're only offering the Basic and the Extra; the Plus which I generally fly is gone, meaning on a whole they've made this route more expensive. Edit: did some pricing. The Basic now works out to about the same as the Plus after paying extra for the bag I suppose, but now if I have to change I lose the fare as opposed to being able to change for a fee. Still getting less for the same amount.

Hmmm....I agree...Blue, Blue Extra (both do NOT include a checked bag) and sometimes Mint.
Checked a few destinations on different dates in February

Rosemary--how much do you want to bet that the new lower priced tier -- with less services -- is the same cost as what it was for the old lowest priced tier??? Thus, just a way to increase revenue. It's all about the bucks, for the airlines!!!

The basic is still less expensive paying for a bag this time.( Usually get the Plus) I get insurance if I have to cancel, so that wouldn't be an issue. If you add the more comfort fee, you get to board first. It is confusing and a bit high right now. Almost booked Delta and they jumped $100 the following day.

Rosemary--how much do you want to bet that the new lower priced tier -- with less services -- is the same cost as what it was for the old lowest priced tier??? Thus, just a way to increase revenue. It's all about the bucks, for the airlines!!! Probably. Not a bet I'd take . When they (JB) changed their structure last time I called and said I wasn't able to book one fare with bag and one without so what should i do and was told make two separate bookings. At that time I said I didn't see any good in the new tiers and was told now I could pick a tier that would lower my cost. I begged to differ saying what I'd booked in the past with just carry-on was less that the new rates. The response was "possibly, you're correct. Now that I'm taking a flight to Europe I suddenly realize the nuances of the airlines. They charge for seats, checked bags, carry-ons, food, pillows, blankets and gosh knows what else. I hope by the time I catch the flight that they aren't charging to go to the bathroom because at my age I might have to mortgage my house to do it.
