If I buy an economy ticket on Delta through Travel-On am I buying Main Coach or Basic Economy?
Last week Delta announced that starting in March it would introduce a 5 fare system: First, Delta One (business), Delta Comfort (upgraded coach class), Main Cabin (traditional coach), and Basic Economy. In exchange for 10-30% off the Main Cabin cost, Basic Economy will transport you from point A to point B, with beverage service, but nothing else. This means the ticket is non-refundable, non-changeable – even for a penalty, offers no advance seat assignments – regardless of status, no complimentary or paid upgrades, no complimentary, paid, or discounted Delta Comfort, no complimentary or paid Preferred seats, no paid priority boarding, In fact, the Basic Economy traveler will be in the last boarding group. These fares appeal to some leisure travelers, but are not expected to be embraced by business travelers. So, to answer your question – which one do you want? When both fares are available our agents will explain the differences to allow you to make an informed decision about which will best address your needs for that particular trip.
