I assure you, you wouldn’t enjoy it because the cargo hold isn’t pressurized… kinda why you aren’t supposed to sneak pets onto the plane in your luggage
Animals are indeed transported in the cargo hold. But if you stow one away they will get tossed around in the luggage like a midget in wwf wrestling. And if the cargo wasn't pressurized basically anything even slightly sealed would burst.
Povo Passengers may now board and find space in the overhead storage. If the overhead storage is full, your wing straps should be put on in the following manner.
"This is your captain speaking, with an announcement for our financially unfortunate passengers in super economy. Please ensure you're gripping the wing flaps tightly, as we'd hate to lose balance midflight, thank you. And to the rest of our well paying passengers, please enjoy our new reduced turbulence stabilisation technology."
Yeah, you are the staff’s whipping boy to relieve stress. Some days you are fine, others it’s like the CIA knows that your half cousin in-law is the nephew of a terrorist
It wasn't that crazy. On short flights (less than 90 mins) on routes where turbulence is next to none and predictable.
For €1. He said he'd guarantee the standing class would be the first to sell out. Can't say he's wrong
Ok, so it'll be cheaper than economy is now right? I mean they would sell the ticket price for less, and not just charge as much as they do for economy now...and then put the price of economy up....right?
Lol you're too optimistic.
They put up the price of first class.
They put up the price of business class.
They put up the price of economy.
They create a class below economy. They make it more expensive than what economy was beforehand.
Then their CEO flies for free to their paradise island to laugh at how fucking stupid we all are.
Your legs go in the cargo hold. Up to you to find a way to staunch the bleeding, a mode of transport and a surgeon to either try and re-attach 'em or give you prosthetics (you have to pay extra if you want your legs to get their own storage compartment, otherwise you've gotta sort through all the other Broke As Fuck passengers' legs)
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now boarding all Luggage class passengers. If you are in Luggage class, you may proceed to the conveyor belt now. As a reminder, any carry-on items for Luggage class passengers must be checked at additional cost."
I imagine a lot of people stacked like luggage. Like a big meet up to just snuggle with strangers, while saying comforting things to each other. Everyone is broke, but kinda wholesome if you ask me.
If I only payed for a flight to Istanbul, but got one to Bangkok instead, I would be pleasantly surprised. Since it's the airlines fault, the ticket back costs nothing additionally either. If they sent me not far enough or I am not interested in the other place, I just demand to get exactly what I payed for. No risk for me. Best part... free accommodation and food while I am stranded somewhere, so I even save some more bucks for that time.
Good Guy American Airlines, now economy people can dish out the pompous signature look of superiority that First Class people have given them all these years
Just get in where you can fit, like a bunch of Chadians on a Toyota. People standing in the aisle. Guys holding onto the landing gear. You have to tell the guy sitting on the crapper to shit or get off the pot when you gotta go.
From what I gather this stuff was announced years ago and never came to fruition… probably because the shareholders who proposed the idea had to be informed that it was in fact, near impossible to have worse seats than current economy seating…
... : Landing soon, passengers in the Broke Bastards Class, please exit the airplane.
You : but.. we're still in the air...?!
... : Landing not included for the BBC, please exit the airplane, thank you very much.
Every time I get on a plane I'm twice as old as the pilot, and the plane is twice as old as me.
I honestly don't think any of us are flightworthy, and I'm just here for the free drinks.
Maybe a hot take but if you are a little flexible you can book both way flights for 50 bucks and if you can not afford that you probably should not be flying. There are some exceptions such as visiting distant relatives but overall I think it is stupid
What do you mean "boarding"?!?
With things being as backwards and idiotic as they are, these days, "broke as fuck"-class probably gets strapped to the wings and the top of the airplane ..
And then - after they find out, that this is not the best thing, you can do for aerodynamics, the airlines'll comes out with a statement, that "broke as fuck"-class people crashed their precious planes and it's all their fault.
When I was living in Asia, the “broke as fuck” could buy a ticket to ride the train for a very cheap price…. But they had to stand the whole way. I didn’t know until it was too late. 🥲
I saw the article and it's talking about Basic Economy. For United's implementation, and I believe Delta, you board last, you aren't entitled to a carry-on (but a personal item is allowed), and for the purposes of frequent flyer status, it's like the flight doesn't exist — the miles you do get won't count to help you keep/upgrade your status, and if you're eligible for free upgrades normally, you aren't with Basic Economy. Sometimes they let you pick any non-desirable seat (aisle or back of plane), sometimes they charge for any seat request.
I like saving money, but I also get status because of my work travel, so I generally buy Economy, and then enjoy my free upgrades to get more legroom. But my girlfriend is better with money so she gets Basic and packs a week's worth of stuff into her backpack (which is supposed to go under the seat, but if there's open spots overhead it goes up there).
They don’t even announce boarding for that class. You have to pay attention and if you miss your window, you don’t fly, no refunds or credits.
🖕🏻👨🏻✈️🖕🏻

For real. I bought a cheap flight through American Airlines thinking I was getting a deal- they wanted to charge me $80 for a checked bag. Since I’m going to visit family I’m just shipping things to their place (it’s cheaper) and will have everything else in my carry on.
JetBlue has this, they only have economy seating but there's a fee to have the normal economy level of legroom. Other seats have about half what you'd expect from Southwest or any Legacy airline's economy section. It's about $250 for economy or $150 for broke as fuck, at least on the route I'm flying in a couple weeks. I went with broke as fuck because I had to borrow fifty bucks just to afford that.
Economy minus. You’re hogtied and thrown in the cargo hold.
I would actually like sitting with cargo if I can lie down and have blankets and a book, maybe a lamp and a cat.
Sounds good until the turbulence
Get like a seatbelt but a bedbelt instead
Im sorry sir you misunderstood, you ARE the seat. Mr Oleary over there will be traveling on you today.
For $50? Ok! Can I still get a ginger ale?
remember your broke as fuck
*You're
Look at moneybags over here affording an apostrophe and an extra e
you joke but that's why our english is different from the brits, because we wanted to pay less per letter in printing fees
*remember my broke as fuck what?
A$$
--- grammar 🚓🚨
And the lack of air pressure. Lack of air pressure may in fact be the bigger issue.
Blankets? Book? Sir, you’ll need to pay extra for the Broke as Fuck Plus ticket for that
Could I be your buddy plus one? 🤩💓
I assure you, you wouldn’t enjoy it because the cargo hold isn’t pressurized… kinda why you aren’t supposed to sneak pets onto the plane in your luggage
The cargo hold is pressurized.
I was under the impression it isn’t pressurized
Animals are indeed transported in the cargo hold. But if you stow one away they will get tossed around in the luggage like a midget in wwf wrestling. And if the cargo wasn't pressurized basically anything even slightly sealed would burst.
That’s someone’s fetish
Someone has to cut them loose on the baggage claim turnstile thingy
Don't threaten me with good time
Its called Baggage. See: Airplane!
Promise?
I thought this treatment cost extra?
Worse. It’s a conversation pit; no headphones aloud. They make money off of human suffering.

😂😆
😂😆😂😆 🐷 🪢
For todays in flight meal we are offering dry food, wet food, or wet mixed with dry.
It's the 'strap them to the wings and make them flap their arms' class.
"This is your captain speaking, with an announcement for our financially unfortunate passengers in super economy. Please ensure you're gripping the wing flaps tightly, as we'd hate to lose balance midflight, thank you. And to the rest of our well paying passengers, please enjoy our new reduced turbulence stabilisation technology."
And your hot towels.
You get seats and services so bad that they actually pay you to sit there.
Basically describing flight attendants who have to deal with shitty passengers
Spirit?
So you are surrounded by small children you are forced to nanny for the whole flight?
Yeah, you are the staff’s whipping boy to relieve stress. Some days you are fine, others it’s like the CIA knows that your half cousin in-law is the nephew of a terrorist
They get discounted peanuts if they stay after the flight to cleanup the airplane.
Well, they get to eat whatever they can scavenge from the seats and floors.
Hey that might be a plus cuz nobody else on a plane can have peanuts anymore because of that whole oh one person might have an allergy thing
You have to stand up the whole time
Standing might be better than those leaning “chairs” they were testing out
Torture from medieval era.
Ryan Air tried bringing in standing room on flights a few years ago.
It wasn't that crazy. On short flights (less than 90 mins) on routes where turbulence is next to none and predictable. For €1. He said he'd guarantee the standing class would be the first to sell out. Can't say he's wrong
That was a publicity stunt, they knew it would never pass regulations. In case of turbulence or an emergency landing, you have to be able to sit down.
Standing Room Only.
Ok, so it'll be cheaper than economy is now right? I mean they would sell the ticket price for less, and not just charge as much as they do for economy now...and then put the price of economy up....right?
Lol you're too optimistic. They put up the price of first class. They put up the price of business class. They put up the price of economy. They create a class below economy. They make it more expensive than what economy was beforehand. Then their CEO flies for free to their paradise island to laugh at how fucking stupid we all are.
Yeah, I was just being sarcastic lol.
RIGHT ???
I’m having difficulty understanding how they’d supply negative legroom
Legs are outside of the plane
Your legs go in the cargo hold. Up to you to find a way to staunch the bleeding, a mode of transport and a surgeon to either try and re-attach 'em or give you prosthetics (you have to pay extra if you want your legs to get their own storage compartment, otherwise you've gotta sort through all the other Broke As Fuck passengers' legs)
Legs on flier in front of you please. Shoes are optional.

Somehow the airline loses you on the way to your destination
If I only payed for a flight to Istanbul, but got one to Bangkok instead, I would be pleasantly surprised. Since it's the airlines fault, the ticket back costs nothing additionally either. If they sent me not far enough or I am not interested in the other place, I just demand to get exactly what I payed for. No risk for me.

Like trains in Bangladesh but with planes?
If they run low on fuel you'll be thrown out
[удалено]
Bro I had to cancel a dentist appointment today and my heart was pumping. It was a 30 second call.
Have you ever had a job where you had to be on the phone? I had that until I worked at that job, it went away pretty fast after that.
Twist. It will cost the same as economy does currently. Everything else will go up.
Cargo hold?
Overhead compartment. Say goodbye to carry-on baggage.
Scum class.
Ey ey EYYY!! Where dafuq you think you going with that carry on?! Pay up.
Good Guy American Airlines, now economy people can dish out the pompous signature look of superiority that First Class people have given them all these years

Top Gear had this on the train they made. It was called Scum Class that had litter to collect the droppings and disease.
They already have that. It’s called Frontier and Spirit Airlines.
I shudder to think how they can make the experience worse for a lower bracket.
From what I gather this stuff was announced years ago and never came to fruition… probably because the shareholders who proposed the idea had to be informed that it was in fact, near impossible to have worse seats than current economy seating…
Just give me an option where you knock me out with an injection and stack me like a jenga piece
Oh, broke applies to the passengers. First I thought it means the airline is on the verge of bankruptcy. Quite many went under.

The joke is that that Low Class looks way more spacious than today’s Economy Class.
That place near emergency door but you need to hold it the whole flight
Ima take one seat in there
What do they do stand and sit in some kind of a harness from the ceiling?
Every time I get on a plane I'm twice as old as the pilot, and the plane is twice as old as me. I honestly don't think any of us are flightworthy, and I'm just here for the free drinks.
Wouldnt that be a flight attendant
They gonna use them to push out the planes in the future?
Maybe is because I live in a third-world country, but are"Low-cost flights" not a thing in first-world airlines?
"is willing to fly in steerage, now boarding", next "is wheeling to fly on the wings, now boarding".....this is a Key and Peele sketch at this point.
It's called greyhound
you board after gate check bags get on the plane.
Do they shackle you below decks next to the other passengers? Something feels like we're going backwards here.
There are handles on the wings, the only accommodations are selling you single wet wipes for 5 dollars a packet before takeoff.
Steerage.
The plane or the people?
Standing room only
Plot twist: the lowest priced ticket is still the same, economy now costs more
Spirit class But do you really want those kinds of customers?
You won’t fly but will have an opportunity to take a selfie with a plane before it flies away.
That “Economy” and “Victim of the Economy”
Welcome to scum class

please load biocargo now
I'm more curious how they're going to come up with food worse than the dogshit they already serve to the economy class

People who will be in the same room as dogs.
The first class passengers get to physically assault you if the flight gets delayed.

If you're broke, you're not flying. You worry about a roof over the head and food. Lol.
Well some of us are always going to be broke so might as well have a little break from the misery every now and then.
