This is a GOOD thing for us. Our expense policies will have to let us pay for a carry on bag, and all the VBITs won't fill the bins. Now we can hang out in the lounge and board close to the end rather than getting on first to get bin space.

This is a new fare type. The real question is how these fares will be treated by our respective expense policies. Does basic economy become the basis for comparison?

Def not a good thing, these new fares don't let you earn status

This is a good thing to cut down on gate checked bags. As elites, united will still allow a carry on with a basic fare. Also, I don't see these basic fares encroaching on out travel since the fares are not changeable at all, even with a fee.

They're talking about new, "basic" fares offered by three airlines. http://thepointsguy.com/2016/11/united-basic-economy/

The* airlines, but while we're at it, American has stated intent, but no concrete offering.
For United, there are delightful features such as no assigned seat at booking.

Any evidence for Delta too??

http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/onboard-experience/basic-economy.html

That's just a cheaper fare class to give you an additional option. If you don't want that then keep paying the same for the same class and get a carry on

I saw that it ignores status. Where does it say you can't earn it either?

*our travel

I'm confused why Delta is getting grouped in with United. They both have basic economy (and it's coming to AA as well), but Delta Basic Economy is a cut above UA…you still earn MQM, are allowed a carry on bag and can change your seat assignment at check-in

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
