Aerolineas Argentinas aims to "pay only what is used" – 30/01/2019

Aerolineas Argentinas has put in place a new fare system that will allow pbadengers to pay only for the services they use, such as baggage in the warehouse, date change or seat selection. This was announced Wednesday by our airline.

The new modality is already implemented on flights to Punta Cana and Bogotá and will be extended in the coming days to domestic flights and other international services.

"With the new pricing plan, Aerolineas Argentinas customers will pay exclusively for services that meet their needs and will have access to a wider variety of options at the time of purchase," they told the company.

The scheme consists in applying to the already existing segmentation in terms of tariffs, different degrees of advantages. For example, the segment identified as coupon, which is the lowest fare in the fares, allows the pbadenger to board only with carry-on luggage, can not choose a seat and can not change the date of travel. In the case of Bogotá, the price of the promotion is $ 12,300. In the case of Punta Cana, $ 23,000.

In this case, as indicated by the airlines, the shipment of luggage in the cargo hold or modification of the date will result in an additional cost, intended to prevent the pbadenger from paying what he does not do 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, the categories had specific quotas and once they were exhausted, it was impossible to get a ticket with this cost.

From the company, they pointed out that now, As long as there is room in the plane, the lowest segment (Promo) is accessible, cwhich establishes a direct competition with the low cost companies.

In August of last year, Aerolíneas had anticipated this low-cost bend, with a promotion including a handbag in the cabin that can go up to 8 kilos and the sum of three dimensions (high, long and wide) up to 115 cm. In addition, a small backpack or purse could be carried on board. The baggage to be shipped (up to 23 kilos) was then booked online for $ 399 or paid at the airport for $ 650.

The segments will be: Promo, Base, Plus and Flex for economy cabs; 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.

Gold and Platinum Plus Airlines partners will continue to enjoy their Elite benefits, so you can always carry extra luggage on all your flights, regardless of the franchise that has the rate that they buy or exchange.
