The new Basic fare offers day travelers, for example, an additional option at an attractive entry-level price. It includes one personal item, such as a laptop bag or a small backpack. Those who wish to bring more luggage can flexibly add carry-on or checked baggage as an add-on service within this particularly affordable fare or choose a fare option with expanded baggage allowances. The enhanced fare structure thus enables a clear, transparent selection tailored to individual needs. The existing Light fare is also being enhanced: In the future, travelers will benefit from the option to rebook their reservation for a fee – a boost in flexibility for greater planning security.
