Am I correct to assume I'd benefit by booking with British Airways? or will we still be stuck in Basic Economy even though it doesn't "say" so?
TIA
In AA parlance, 'Main Cabin' = Economy. There is also 'Main Cabin Extra' which is still economy, except you get a few inches additional legroom. If you are OWS or OWE you can book MCE seats for free. There isn't yet a 'special' section of an AA aircraft that is less than Economy. Yet.
