In this mid-week Travel Tip episode of The Know Before You Go Travel Show, we break down one of the most misunderstood airline fare types: Basic Economy—and why we’re generally not fans. While Basic Economy fares may look like a great deal upfront, they often come with significant restrictions that can cost travelers far more in stress, inconvenience, and unexpected fees. In this episode, we explain:

• What Basic Economy actually is (and how it differs from Main Cabin fares)
• The most common restrictions and limitations
• Why seat selection, carry-on rules, and boarding priority matter

If you’ve ever wondered why a flight price looked too good to be true, this episode will help you understand the real cost of Basic Economy and how to avoid booking mistakes that can derail your trip before it even starts.
