dagger Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 The new fare structure is also ushering in a new pricing structure which is kind or like Tango/Zip Plus. The lowest one-way fare is analogous to the Westjet/Zip/Tango pricing concept, of a low-end largely unrestructed fare that can be booked one way and which rises as the plane fills up. The Latitude fare is full Y in terms of booking rules, while Freedom appears to be J, with the J perks like the lounge access, priority checkin... The Latitude and Freedom fares appear to be half of what full Y and J have been until now. Instead of almost $4000 for a last minute J ticket, it will now cost $1900 plus taxes and surcharges. It will be interesting to see whether business travellers who have been travelling in Y because J is perceived as too expensive now move up.

Fido Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 The Freedom fare is still a Y/c booking. There does not seem to be any movement on J fares yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 Considering that they are giving some of the perks of J - Aeroplan bonus, dedicated check-in, lounge access - it begs the question whether there will even be a J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I suspect that there will always be some J/c because the International aircraft have to pick up some flights. But, all Narrow-bodies all Y is worth a kopeck or two in a bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
