Major airlines have introduced cheaper airfares, known as basic economy fares. But these tickets come with serious restrictions that customers should consider before booking.

In exchange for certain restrictions—such as seat assignment at the gate, being the last to board the plane, no ticket changes and only being allowed a carry-on bag—you can pay significantly less for your ticket. But the tickets come with some serious caveats that could leave some flyers paying as much or more as if they’d bought a regular main cabin fare.1.

Still, some critics say economy fares are really just a bait-and-switch scheme. Former Sen Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, took on economy fares last year in a report for the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
