Aerolíneas Argentinas has launched new fares to compete with low cost airlines

The new modality is already implemented on flights to Punta Cana and Bogota and will be extended in the coming days to the first cabotage flights, then to the remaining 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," company sources said.

The scheme consists of applying to the already existing segmentation in terms of rates, different degrees of benefits. For example, the segment identified as Promo, which is the lowest of the tariff scale, allows the pbadenger to board the aircraft with only one piece of hand luggage, can not choose a seat and can not change the date of the trip.

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.

The company said that now, while there is room on the aircraft will be able to access the lowest segment (Promo), which establishes a direct competition with the low cost companies.

The segments will be: Promo, Base, Plus and Flex for economy cab; Club Economy cabotage companies in the cabin and Cóndor Club and Cóndor Club Promo for the international business booth.

In any case, the pbadenger will always be able to choose the services he wants to rent.

Members of the Aerolíneas Plus Gold and Platinum categories will continue to benefit from the Elite category advantage, so that they can always carry extra baggage on all their flights, regardless of the franchise under which they have purchased or exchanged. rate.
