Alerts list pricing as main cabin instead of basic economy

Don't show Basic Economy

I would love to either filter out Basic Economy or set a preference to avoid that. Living in Atlanta I fly Delta almost all of the time and I only fly Main Classic or above.

I agree - and more points flights...please.

Basic economy has become so restrictive, it is almost never an option

Since Basic Economy and Main Cabin are so interrelated, could you perhaps allow us an option that just shows us the Main Cabin prices
instead
of the Basic Economy prices?P

Good Idea, but I like the deals, maybe make it filterable or a switchable option.

Hi Suzanne! Thanks for the feedback. You're defintiely not the only one (it isn't our favorite either)!
The reason we include Basic Economy (BE) is because when BE fares fall in price, Main Cabin fares fall too. Even if you’d never fly BE, these deals mean better prices across the board. We’ll show you the lowest price, and you can choose if the upgrade to Main Cabin is worth it.
However, I will definitely share your feedback with the team as well!

Hi Tanner - the reason why our team lists basic economy as the lowest fare is for two reasons. First, it's because the two fares (basic economy & main cabin) are tied together in price. If basic economy drops in price, generally so does main cabin. So if you see a low basic economy price listed in a flight alert, you can assume the main cabin price is also low. Second, there is no easy way to search for a main cabin fare via Google Flights or other tools. While you can of course search directly via the airlines website, this would make the booking process challenging and time consuming. I hear you concerns, I don't like to book basic economy either, but rest assured that if you see a cheap basic economy flight in a Premium alert, that also means the main cabin pricing is also low.
