American unveils prices, routes for new cheapest fare
American Airlines has begun selling cheaper "basic economy" fares as it battles discount airlines for the most budget-conscious travellers. American announced Tuesday that it began selling the new fares for flights starting March 1 on 10 different routes from its hub airports in Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and Charlotte, North Carolina. With a basic-economy fare on American you can't pick your seat when you buy the ticket, you're in the last group to board the plane, and you can only carry a small item that fits under the seat. You'll pay extra to check a wheeled bag. The savings over a regular economy ticket appear to range from about US$24 to $40 for a round-trip ticket. American said it will eventually add basic-economy fares on other routes. <br/>
