I flew roundtrip to Europe on 4 flights in basic economy for under $300 and beat the most limiting fare at its own game just by asking

Basic economy fares allow travelers to fly for less if they're willing to sacrifice some amenities. Despite the restrictions, I was easily able to get the best out of the fare and secure some of the best seats in economy.Just when we thought that flying in economy couldn't get any worse, airlines gave us basic economy.

When I got the booking page, however, alarms went off and I was immediately given the warning that this wasn't a normal ticket. It was a basic economy fare and I am essentially the worst person in the world if I book it. Despite flying on four flights in basic economy, I managed not only to survive but thrive against all odds.My basic economy journey started when I went to go book my flights to Copenhagen and was hit with this warning from American Airlines, almost as if saying "enter at your own risk."I wouldn't be able to check a bag…Seats on a Finnair A330.Flights departing from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

After a whirlwind weekend in Copenhagen, it was time to run through the fire again for what would be a near 12-hour journey home via London on British Airways.
