American is attacking Star Alliance fares to Europe. We found availability to:
- Munich [MUC] – $577 (Regular Economy) / $417 (Basic Economy)
- Frankfurt [FRA] – $591 (Regular Economy) / $431 (Basic Economy)
- Zurich [ZRH] – $534 (Regular Economy) / $374 (Basic Economy)
American / British Airways / Finnair / Iberia’s regular economy fare includes ONE checked luggage and normal size carry-on
American / British Airways / Finnair / Iberia also have a Basic Economy / Economy Light fares as listed above:
- DO NOT allow for advance seat assignment
- DO NOT include checked bags – they are $60 each way for the 1st bag and $100 for the 2nd
- DO NOT allow for changes
- DO NOT allow for cancellations – so if you cancel after the 24 hour risk free period, the Basic Economy version will have no value for future travel
- Most online travel agencies are not properly displaying these fares with American / British Airways / Finnair / Iberia as BASIC ECONOMY.
