the challenge of Aerolineas Argentinas to compete with the low cost

Aerolineas Argentinas begins to implement this Wednesday its new fee schedule cabotage flights, in which the pbadenger can choose only pay for the services you usesuch as checked baggage, date change or seat selection.

With the new scheme entitled "Rates to your measure", customers Aerolíneas Argentinas "They will pay exclusively for services that meet their needsand will have access to a wider variety of options at the time of purchase, "company sources said.

According to what was announced a few days ago, the system is to apply to the already existing segmentation in terms of rates, different degrees of benefits.

For example, the segment identified as Promowhich is the lowest in the price list, allows the pbadenger to get on the plane with only cabin baggage, can not choose his seat and can not change the date travel.

In this case, as indicated in Airlines, send luggage in the cargo hold or change the date will have an additional cost, which aims to prevent the pbadenger from paying for what he does not want to use.

The following categories allow free shipment of luggage, date change, ticket return or seat change.

The new system differs from the previous one also in terms of quotas for each segment. Until now, categories had specific quotas and once they were exhausted, it was impossible to get a pbad with this cost. Now, they pointed out that as long as there is room in the plane, you can access the lowest segment (Promo)which establishes direct competition with low-cost companies.

The segments will be: Promo, Base, Plus and Flex for the economy cab; Club Economy for cabotage companies and Cóndor Promo Club and Club Cóndor for international cabins. In any case, the pbadenger will always be able to choose the services he wants to rent.

The Aerolíneas Plus Gold and Platinum members will continue to benefit from the Elite category advantage, so that they will always be able to carry extra baggage on all their flights, regardless of the franchise under which they have bought or exchanged the same fare. .
