Economy Class If you don't require a lot of luxury services, these flights are excellent, affordable options. Economy seats may also be called "coach", "standard" or "main cabin" seats. These seats are generally narrower than in other classes (from about 40 to 48 centimetres wide).

The term "standard flight" or "standard fare" typically refers to a Main Cabin or Economy Class ticket that sits between "Basic Economy" and "Premium" tiers. While a Basic Economy ticket often restricts you from choosing a seat, bringing a full-sized carry-on, or making any changes to your itinerary, a standard economy ticket generally includes these basic necessities. With a standard fare, you usually get a standard seat assignment (sometimes for a fee, but often included), the ability to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item, and the option to change or cancel your flight for a credit rather than losing the total value of the ticket. In terms of service, it means you receive the airline's baseline level of care, which typically includes complimentary water, snacks, and access to in-flight entertainment, though meals and alcoholic beverages may still cost extra on shorter domestic routes.
