Economy Class is one of two choices of cabin class that the airline offers. There are a few different fares that passengers can purchase in Economy. These fares will allow added extras such as extra baggage allowance, free cancellations and the ability to pre-select seats. However, no matter which fare chosen, the in-flight experience in Economy remains the same.
