Some facts about American’s Basic Economy:
- Anytime a Basic Economy fare is for sale, a Main Cabin fare will always be available.
- At this time, Basic Economy fares cannot be combined or used to build connecting itineraries. American will add the ability to connect Basic Economy fares for a multi-leg trip later.
