It is always a good time to take a quick trip down to New Orleans, Louisiana. Right now, American Airlines has reduced its prices on routes from Chicago to New Orleans. The lowest-priced flights can be found for only $97.
These routes are valid for travel from mid-August through mid-September. To ensure you’re getting the lowest fare, it is best to use Priceline as your search engine.
These sale routes are a part of American Airlines basic economy fare class. This fare class was introduced by many of the major U.S. carriers a few years ago. While many people see the word basic and automatically assume they will have a bad flight experience, that is not always the case.
Under basic economy the following restrictions apply:
- You cannot select your seat prior to check-in. If you need specific seating, you will need to opt for the regular economy option. Otherwise, your seat will be randomly assigned.
- You cannot make changes to your reservation once it is confirmed.
- You are allotted a carry-on bag and a personal item. Checked luggage does come at a higher price than it would under regular economy.
Other than these rules, you have the same options as those flying on a regular economy ticket.
