United adds basic fares to first class (thepointsguy.com)

United Airlines will launch restrictive "United First Base" fares for domestic first-class passengers, with tickets going on sale in the coming weeks. The fares include no complimentary seat selection, one free checked bag instead of two, no itinerary changes, reduced flight credit, cancellation fees, and fewer MileagePlus miles. United is also introducing a basic "United Business" fare for short-haul international flights to Canada and Latin America, which still allows access to United Clubs.
