Air Travel with United Airlines’ Basic Economy Class, How’s it Different from Others?

United Airlines offers two types of economy tickets: Basic Economy and Economy. The Basic Economy fare is less expensive, but there may be limitations on seat assignment, boarding, carry-on baggage, upgrades, changes, refunds, elite earning, and elite benefits. This article will highlight the key differences between a United Economy and a Basic Economy ticket that you should be aware of before booking a flight with United.

United Economy vs. Basic Economy: Difference

Remember the restaurant example I mentioned at the start? Your primary purpose for going to the restaurant was to eat. Any additional activity (such as eating with their utensils) is considered outside of the basic need to eat.

Now take the case of United Airlines. The baggage allowance is one of the most noticeable differences between the economy and the basic economy. You won't be able to bring any more carry-on luggage in the overhead bin if you have a Basic Economy ticket. On the other hand, the Economy class has ample baggage allowance, allowing you to travel comfortably with all of your luggage and personal belongings.

Plastics manufacturers want to get rid of oil

A man works on an electric staple gun in a repair cafe. This also results in less waste.

Experts call for a complete abandonment of the most important raw material in the plastics industry. However, the industry has still a long way to go in order to reach a true circular economy.

For Christian Bonten there are reasons to be angry almost every day. They're lying on the street. All he has to do is look around - on the way to work, when shopping or when jogging. He sees "mess" everywhere. The mechanical engineer finds peeled potatoes or carrots wrapped in plastic "perverted". Or the pointed caps of New Year's rockets. They are also made of plastic. "Is anyone collecting them?" asks Bonten. He does. After all, he knows what happens to the plastic things that are carelessly disposed of in the environment. The next time it rains, they may be washed into the nearby stream or river and from there end up in the sea, where they are ground into microplastics over decades. Bonten knows what he's talking about, he heads the Institute for Plastics Technology[1] at the University of Stuttgart.

"The material is not the problem, but the laziness of the consumers."

Bonten doesn't damn plastics in general. According to him, they have many advantages: they make cars and airplanes lighter, food has a longer shelf life, they are used in medicine for gastric tubes, blood bags and much more. "The material isn't the problem, it's the carelessness and laziness of consumers," says Bonten. And the design. Many products are not designed to be really easy to recycle. "Plastics are connected to each other and to other materials in such a way that they can hardly be separated. That has to change," says the scientist.

A lot has to change. Bonten and other experts have been discussing what exactly for months and have developed recommendations for a "National Circular Economy Strategy"[2], that has now been presented. The association Plastics Europe[3] Germany had invited to the discussion. He represents plastics manufacturers. The members include BASF[4], Covestro[5], Lanxess[6], Wacker Chemie[7] and many others. According to the cover sheet of the paper, executives from the association moderated the process. "They didn't have any influence," assures Bonten. The experts call their concept Circular EconomyPLUS[8]. They call for a "system change."

The companies want to show what the change could look like over the next few days at the K trade fair in Düsseldorf[9], which they say is the world's most important trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry.

A good 21 million tons of plastic were produced in Germany in 2021, materials such as polyethylene, PVC or PET, but also plastics for glue, paint and varnish. This is the result of the study Material flow diagram for plastics[10] by the consulting firm Conversio. Almost 90 percent of production was based on fossil raw materials such as petroleum. According to the study, commercial and private consumption of plastic products was around 12.4 million tons. End users generated 5.44 million tons of waste. The difference is considerable, which is due to the different useful lives - a few days for packaging, decades for building materials, for example. And with cars that are exported after use, the waste is generated abroad.

More than half of the waste is incinerated - in waste incineration plants, for example as part of the residual waste, or processed as substitute fuel, for example in the steel or cement industry. Only a good 1.7 million tonnes of end-user waste was recycled in recycling plants. In the production of new plastic products, i.e. packaging, insulating materials, household goods and much more, recyclate still plays a "quite minor role", says Christoph Lindner, managing partner of Conversio. Of the 14 million tons of plastic products that were manufactured in 2021, just under twelve percent were based on recyclate and three quarters of this was obtained from end-user waste. "We are still a long way from a truly circular plastics industry," says Lindner: "There are good approaches, but overall a lot still needs to happen."

"Carbon has to come from nature or from recycling."

The recommendations of Bonten's experts can be summarised as follows: If Germany wants to become climate-neutral by 2045, some things in the plastics industry have to change fundamentally. Everything has to become circular. Waste becomes raw materials again. The aim of the concept is "complete defossilisation". "We have to become independent of oil and gas," says Bonten. Defossilisation does not mean decarbonization. Complete decarbonization only works in the energy industry. "The chemical and pharmaceutical industries cannot do without carbon," says Bonten. "But this carbon must come from nature or from recycling. And if we recycle, then we need renewable energies for it." Anything that cannot be recycled must be made from bio-plastics, i.e. it must be biodegradable and/or bio-based. Such plastics already exist, made from corn starch, sugar or cellulose.

According to the paper, almost all technologies for recycling plastics, and thus carbon, already exist. The experts' stocktaking: the plastics industry is currently still "a long way away" from the goal of a climate-neutral circular economy by 2045. The value-added chain acts predominantly linearly, i.e. not in a cycle.

The requirements of the experts can be summarised in a few "R"s, at least the English terms for what needs to be done start like this: refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, repair, recycle. This is also Bonten's credo: "Avoid and reduce waste. Reuse, repair and recycle plastic products at the end of their useful life, either mechanically or chemically." The experts recommend that the pure incineration of plastic waste without separating and using the CO₂ emitted in the process should be avoided. The CO₂ obtained in this way can be used, for example, in the beverage industry or for the production of new basic chemicals or fuels. According to the experts, in order to be able to recycle plastic products, they must also be designed to be recyclable.

"I hope," says Bonten, "that we as a society and politicians understand that something has to happen. This time we can't sit it out."
