Before you decide to book economy airfare, read this:
In theory, the basic economy fare seems like a good idea for the budget conscious. In exchange for certain restrictions—such as seat assignment at the gate, being the last to board the plane, no ticket changes and only being allowed a carry-on bag—you can pay significantly less for your ticket. But the tickets come with some serious caveats that could leave some flyers paying as much or more as if they’d bought a regular main cabin fare.1.
Delta’s Basic Economy fare is one of the more generous when it comes to bags, and allows one free carry-on bag, in addition to a “personal item” such as a pocketbook, laptop bag or backpack. If you need to check a bag, it will be subject to a fee If I had thought I could be sneaky and stuff my bag to the brim, I would’ve been in for a rude awakening-and possibly been forced to check the bag at a cost of $60. One free carry-on and personal item. First-checked bag on U.S. domestic flights and to Canada is $30 ; from the U.S. to Europe and North Africa it’s $60 .One free carry-on and personal item. First-checked bag on U.S. domestic flights is $30 ; for transatlantic flights it’s $60 .
