Look on the bright side, with the inclusion of onboard luggage, Member Exclusive fares can now be easily distinguished from Basic Fares

I am not opposed to unbundling and actually quite enjoy the fare options on many ULCC in Europe - as for me I often just have carry on, but prefer to pay for just a seat upfront for quick boarding/exiting and an extra empty seat next to me. In fact I have had many Easyjet / Ryanair flights that have been more comfortable that a BA / Lufthansa intra european flight. Especially on a short 1.5 hour journey between countries.

What I really wish Wesjet would do is provide a better search option for non-basic fares so I could search and select easier without needing to click through the fares/departures.
