WestJet Airlines is introducing a new “no-frills fare” for those looking for an economical way to fly, but that savings comes at the expense of the perks travellers often take for granted.

Dubbed UltraBasic, the new ticket option replaces WestJet’s Basic fare on all domestic and transborder routes and is the lowest-priced of seven fare classes, the company said in a June 4 press release.
