Aerolineas Argentinas seeks to reduce the cost of tickets by charging only what is used

January 31, 2019

Given the large number of low-cost flights, the Argentine flag line will establish a new tariff regime allowing to invoice only what is used, differentiating the services offered from the pbadengers.

The airfares continue to be very high so Aerolineas Argentinas introduced a new tariff regime that will be extended to all its flights and that allow the pbadenger to pay only for the services that he uses, by charging a plus if you wish to choose the seats, ship your checked baggage or change the dates of the trip. So far, it has been applied only in return to Punta Cana and Bogotá, but of the company they badure that in the next days it will begin to extend it until cabotage flights.

The new modality is already implemented on flights to Punta Cana and Bogotá, and in the coming days, it will first be extended to cabotage flights, then to the remaining international services.

"C.In the new pricing scheme, Aerolíneas Argentinas customers will pay exclusively for services meeting their needs and will have access to a wider variety of options at the time of purchase.", Told the sources of the company Telam agency where you can now choose between segments: 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.

Although the costs remain high for the pocket of the Argentines, the new scheme differs from the promotions proposed until now, since there were only specific quotas that, once exhausted, prevented the sale of more tickets for the same cost, which can now be done to supplement the capacity of the aircraft.

The airlines had already conducted a "pilot test" of these low-priced tickets in the middle of 2018. At that time, the promotion included a purse that could weigh up to 8 kilos and a wallet or small backpack that should be located in the lower part of the front seat. In this promotion, you can pay separately the luggage shipped by warehouse that can not exceed 23 kilos. They must be booked on the website of Airlines, where the cost is $ 399, while if you choose to pay at the airport up to $ 650.
