AS to Introduce "Saver Fares" (Basic Economy), End Fee Waivers and Add Fees

Today during the 2018 Q1 Earnings Call, it was revealed that Alaska plans to introduce a basic economy fare, known as "Saver Fare", to compete with the legacy airlines. The new fare will be introduced in Fall 2018 and will include the following restrictions:
  • Seats in rear of aircraft
  • Guests board last
  • Upgrades for elites not permitted
  • Tickets not changeable/cancelable.
The call can be listened to here: Webcasts & events | Alaska Air Group Inc
