From today, Aerolineas Argentinas operates at low cost and charges the luggage in the cargo hold.

Airlines will start charging for the shipment of luggage, change of ticket date and choice of seat.

Aerolineas Argentinas already operates at low cost: as of this Wednesday, the state company is introducing a new tariff for cabotage flights, in which the pbadenger has to pay extra for a series of previously free services.

With the new system called "Rates to your measure", customers of Aerolineas Argentinas "will pay exclusively for services that meet their needs and will have access to a wider variety of options at the time of purchase", have indicated sources of society.

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.

The segment identified as Promo, which is the lowest of the fare 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.

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. Now, they pointed out that as long as there was room in the aircraft, the lowest segment (Promo) was accessible, which established direct competition with low cost airlines.
