American Airlines: Cheaper If You Travel Lighter


AA calls it basic-economy fare, and restricts those passengers to just one bag that fits under the seat. Not allowed to stash anything in the overhead. AA joins United Airlines in offering this cheaper choice. It’s estimated the new policy will save from 10 to 25 percent on flights.

Of course, among the restrictions is that the cheap seat passengers get to go last in their walk of shame to board the flight. Then, will an attendant utter the classic line: Please step to the back of the bus. One can only wonder what’s next in money-saving offers. Announcement: All cheap seat passengers must remove their clothing before boarding.

According to the survey company and British Airways, seniors now in their late 60s and early 70s say their biggest regret is missing out on roaming the world. Now entering sunset years, if they had to do it over, they would hit the road more often.

So, senior-stay-at-home, take the hint and start planning for travel while you’re still able to get around. Stroll the boulevards of Paris, cruise the Caribbean, climb to the top of Machu Picchu, bask in the sun at Waikiki and enjoy a Broadway musical. Get off that stuffy old couch and into new and exciting adventures that await you!
