Hawaiian Airlines to add no-frills basic economy tickets in 2019

Add Hawaiian Airlines to the growing list of airlines adding basic economy fares, cheaper tickets with several restrictions. The Honolulu-based carrier said it plans to introduce "main cabin basic" fares in H2 2019. "This will offer our guests greater choice and let them choose the main cabin product of which they value," Brent Overbeek, the airline's senior VP of revenue management and network planning, said during the airline's investor day in New York in in mid-December. The airline said travellers who buy its basic economy tickets won't get advance seat assignments, will board the plane last and will not be allowed to make changes to their flights. That is in line with most airlines' basic economy restrictions. Hawaiian said travellers will be allowed to bring a standard carry on bag. <br/>
