What is the price of "low cost" tickets from Aerolíneas Argentinas

Aerolineas Argentinas has introduced a new fare regime allowing pbadengers to pay only for the services they use., such as luggage shipped to warehouse, date change or seat election, as they announced today along with the flag.

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 tariff scheme, Aerolíneas Argentinas customers will exclusively pay for services that meet their needsand 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 in Airlines, the shipment of luggage in the hold or the change of date will incur additional charges, with which we try to avoid that the pbadenger pays for what he's not going to use.

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 cabs; Club Economy for cabotage companies and Cóndor Promo Club and Cóndor Club for international cabins.

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

The rates

In the segment identified as Promo, the most economical, the pbadenger can only face an 8 kilos hand luggage.

You can not choose a seat or change the date of the trip. Neither the refund nor the accumulation of Aerolíneas Plus miles, explains Clarín.

If you choose this fare, sending a piece of luggage in the cargo hold or changing the date will have an additional cost, which is intended to "prevent the pbadenger from paying for what he will not use".

The next category, called Base, will allow selection of seats and miles. If you choose the Plus fare, a 15 kg bag is free.

The Flex and Club Economy fares allow for no-load baggage, date changes, ticket return or seat change and mileage accumulation, with the exception that the Flex allows 8kg hand luggage. two suitcases of 15 kilos each and in the following tariff in the cabin the increases authorized to 10 kilos and in the hold, to 23 kilos for each suitcase.

In the case of Bogotá as a destination, where the new rate chart has already been implemented, there is also the Club Cóndor category for the international kiosk. Choosing it allows you to send three 23kg bags each and return the ticket at no cost.

On the other hand, if the Cóndor Promo Club is chosen, a supplement will be charged for its return. Soon, this will also happen for flights to Mexico and the United States. For Punta Cana, the second destination to launch the new rate chart, the highest rate is Club Economy.

To travel with Aerolíneas Argentinas in the Colombian capital, prices are as follows:

– Promo: $ 12,300.
– Base: $ 15,000.
– Plus: $ 18,000.
– Flex: $ 27,000.

For Punta Cana, the promotional price is $ 23,000, the base is $ 31,700, the benefit is $ 35,400 and the Flex rate is $ 44,700, according to Clarín.

In all cases The pbadenger will always have the opportunity to choose the services that he wants to rent.
