United Airlines is sticking with no-overhead-bin rule for its cheapest tickets
Only United prohibits travelers from bringing a full-size carry-on that fits in the overhead bin. Airline executives measure the success of basic economy by how many travelers opt to avoid it. The airline has no plans to follow American Airlines AAL by allowing travelers flying in its cheapest class of service, known as basic economy, to bring a full-size carry-on that fits in the overhead bin on board, United said Wednesday.
