What Basic Economy to Europe Will Be Like
"Delta Air Lines will offer basic economy service on more than half of its flights between North America and Europe starting April 10. Boarding will occur in the last zone. Delta introduces a checked bag fee for transatlantic routes: $60 for the first bag and $100 for the second. Without checked baggage, the fare difference is approximately $50. Seat assignments will be given at check-in or at the gate, with no guarantee of seating together for passengers traveling together. The in-flight experience is similar to regular economy, providing free snacks, entertainment, and meals on long-haul flights. Basic economy fares are not changeable, and no upgrades are available, even for SkyMiles Medallion status holders. Partners Air France-KLM and Alitalia will also offer a similar basic fare product."
