If you want to make a reservation with American, the airline offers three distinct returning flights from Chicago that all have the same rate.
Only the cheapest economy fares are covered by the advertised discounted flights.
Basic economy can be more constrictive when compared to other fare levels.
However, its inexpensive costs can be particularly practical for a two- to three-hour flight from Chicago to New York.
The basic economy class on American Airlines charges extra for expedited boarding and seat selection.
Additionally, passengers may bring one free carry-on bag, and the first checked bag is $30.
But you can't take a carry-on for free if you book basic economy with United.
The costs for choosing a seat on American range from $10 to $41.
The most costly seats are more spacious and near the exit rows.
