A compelling fare to Cork has emerged, with pricing subject to change based on the flight path. The advertised $713 fare includes various perks such as advance seat selection, a standard-sized carry-on, and one checked bag.
Alternatively, Delta, Air France, and KLM Royal Dutch are offering a more budget-friendly option at $513. However, this fare falls under the Basic Economy category, which comes with significant limitations:
Limitations of Basic Economy Fares:
- No advance seat assignments allowed.
- Checked bags are not included; fees of $75 for the first bag and $100 for the second apply.
- No changes are permitted.
- Cancellations are not allowed; if a cancellation occurs post the 24-hour risk-free period, the fare becomes non-refundable.
- Mileage earning is not applicable.
It’s worth noting that many online travel agencies may not clearly display the Basic Economy or Economy Light fares for Air France and KLM.
