A good sale to Paris
Air Canada is running a $50 off sale to Europe. The price without the discount is $547 (Basic Economy) / $697 (Regular Economy). But if you using the promo code “F32EF8B1” at the search screen, you will get this for $547 (Basic Economy) / $647 (Regular Economy) – so you will only save $50 on the regular economy fare.
United and its partners Air Canada, Austrian, Lufthansa and Swiss Air’s $647 fare is a regular economy fare with ONE checked luggage and normal size carry-on
United and its partners Air Canada, Austrian, Lufthansa and Swiss Air also have a $547 fare, but it is a Basic Economy / Economy Light fare. These Basic Economy / Economy Light fares:
DO NOT allow for advance seat assignment
DO NOT include checked bags – they are $70 each way for the 1st bag and $100 each way for 2nd
DO NOT allow for changes
DO NOT allow for cancellations – so if you cancel after the 24 hour risk free period, the Basic Economy version will have no value for future purchase
Most online travel agencies are not properly displaying these fares with United / Air Canada / Austrian / Lufthansa / Swiss Air as BASIC ECONOMY
