Delta Airlines just introduced a new fare class that they are calling Basic Economy. The trade-off for the reduced price will be that you cannot get an advance seat assignment (not just for free, but not at all; you take what you can get at check-in), and there are NO changes allowed.
This would be a decent concept if the discounts were worth that trade, but so far, the travel press is saying that it doesn't appear to be so. For the most part, the price difference appears to be about $20 per ticket. Personally, I wouldn't bite at that price.
