Paying for Seat Selection · 花钱选座
basicI see you're on a basic economy ticket. Seat selection isn't included — you'll be assigned a seat at the gate. Would you like to upgrade to select your own seat?
我看您买的是基本经济舱。不含选座——会在登机口给您分配座位。您想升级自己选座吗?
What's the difference between basic economy and regular economy?
基本经济舱和普通经济舱有什么区别?
💡 Basic Economy 是近年美国航司推出的最低价票:通常不含选座、不能改签、不能升舱、行李额度也更少。比Regular Economy便宜$30-60,但限制多。
Basic economy is our lowest fare — no seat selection, no changes or cancellations, and you board last. Regular economy lets you pick your seat, change flights, and board earlier. The upgrade is $45 today.
基本经济舱是最低票价——不能选座,不能改签或退票,最后登机。普通经济舱可以选座、改签、较早登机。今天升级45美元。
What about extra legroom seats? How much are those?
加大腿部空间的座位呢?那些多少钱?
Extra legroom seats are $35 on top of the regular economy upgrade. So $80 total from basic. They're in rows 14 and 15 — about four inches more legroom. Great for longer flights.
加大腿部空间的座位在普通经济舱基础上再加35美元。从基本经济舱算总共80美元。在14和15排——大约多10厘米腿部空间。长途飞行很值。
I'll take the extra legroom seat. It's a five-hour flight, so it's worth it.
我要加大腿部空间的座位。五小时的飞行,值得。
Bundle Upgrade Options · 打包升级
intermediateSince you're upgrading, I should mention we have a bundle that includes seat selection, one checked bag, and priority boarding for $110 — that's $30 cheaper than buying everything separately.
既然您要升级,提一下我们有个打包价:选座+一件托运行李+优先登机只要110美元——比单独买便宜30美元。
What's priority boarding? Does it actually matter?
优先登机是什么?有实际意义吗?
💡 优先登机的最大好处是确保头顶行李架有空间放你的随身行李。如果你最后登机,行李架可能满了,随身箱子会被强制托运到货舱。
It means you board before general boarding, so you're guaranteed overhead bin space for your carry-on. On full flights, the last passengers often have to gate-check their bags.
就是在一般旅客之前登机,保证头顶行李架有空间放随身行李。满员航班上,最后登机的乘客经常被迫在登机口托运箱子。
That makes sense. I'll take the bundle then. Can I pay by card?
有道理。那我买套餐吧。可以刷卡吗?
Of course. That's $110 for the bundle with extra legroom seat in row 14, one checked bag, and priority boarding. Insert or tap your card, please.
当然。套餐110美元:14排加大腿部空间座位、一件托运行李、优先登机。请插卡或碰一下。
Done. Next time I'll buy the bundle online ahead of time. It's probably cheaper, right?
好了。下次我提前在网上买套餐。应该更便宜吧?
💡 廉价航空的加购项(行李、选座、餐食)提前在官网买通常比现场便宜15-30%。出发前一周是最佳购买时间。
