好吧,这很快。只是害羞的24小时后United永久删除了它的变化费用在国内航班上,三角洲和美国人纷纷纷纷纷纷。

“We’ve said before that we need to approach flexibility differently than this industry has in the past, and today’s announcement builds on that promise to ensure we’re offering industry-leading flexibility, space, and care to our customers,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement. “We want our customers to book and travel with peace of mind, knowing that we’ll continue evaluating our policies to maintain the high standard of flexibility they expect.”

While Delta’s policy change mimics United’s exactly—all passengers booked in a fare class above Basic Economy on a domestic flight can now change their flights for free—American has one-upped its competitors, offering free changes on short-haul international flights to Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico, in addition to domestic destinations. That said, American, just like Delta and United, has excluded Basic Economy passengers from the no-change-fee policy. (It should also be noted that while most passengers on all three airlines will no longer have to pay change fees, they’ll still be responsible for any differences in fare.)

美国人还复制了美国国内外航班的同日度待机费,而Delta将继续为黄金,铂金和钻石奖章成员预订该特权。

最重要的是,美国也改造了其基本经济舱级,真正改善了寻求飞行预算的乘客的比赛。现在,绝对有人预订的廉价票价将能够支付升级,优质席位选择,优先押金,同日度确认的航班变化,而在基础经济中的Aadade Elites将能够挖掘其状态的这些利益免费收费。

但是,有一点点权衡。截至2021年1月1日,飞行美国基础经济的乘客将不再赚取资格,花费或分段 - 在航空公司上赚取精英地位的构建块。但是对于优先考虑预算和灵活性的乘客以及追逐精英地位,这不太可能是一名其务。

“美国的首席Raja在一份声明中表示,”美国人提供比以往任何时候都比以往更多的灵活性和易于以往任何时候的灵活性和便利。““By eliminating change fees, giving customers an opportunity to get where they want to go faster with free same-day standby on earlier flights, and providing access to upgrades and seats for all fare types, we’re giving customers the freedom to make their own choices when traveling with American.”
