Main Cabin Basic: Hawaiian Airlines offers a cheaper seat option

Hawaiian Airlines introduces its new Basic Economy, a plane ticket with no extra charge and which offers its customers the option of paying only for minimum travel services.

Hawaiian Airlines notes that the benefits of this product include the same flight experience as in the main cabin seats, with the same seats and the same entertainment system, free drinks and snacks.

However, the restrictions on these prices are significant: you will not be able to bring hand baggage in the hold; seat allocation will only be given when the passenger enters; there is no possibility of acquiring improvements; tickets are not refundable or exchangeable, and passengers with this ticket will be the last to board the aircraft.

The class will be called Main Cabin Basic and, like basic economy class tickets from other airlines, it will be a simplified version of regular economy class. The Hawaiian version includes assigned seats after check-in, no ticket changes or waits, and no eligibility for bonus miles (although travelers can earn regular Hawaii miles). Main Cabin Basic customers will also board last.

This is a basic version: there are no tickets or standby changes; seats are assigned after check-in, and although HawaiianMiles may win, travelers who choose this option will not be eligible for bonus miles.
