What Are Cabin Classes?

Cabin classes represent different service levels offered on a flight, such as Economy, Premium, or Business. Each cabin class comes with its own set of conditions that affect how your ticket can be used.

In Navia, the most important conditions of each cabin class are clearly displayed during the selection process. These details appear directly below the cabin class and include:

  • Refundability – whether the ticket can be refunded

  • Changeability – whether changes to the flight are allowed

  • Baggage allowance – what luggage is included

This allows you to compare cabin classes at a glance and select the option that best matches your travel needs.

Fees for Changes or Refunds

In some cases, a price may be shown next to the refundability or changeability labels. This indicates the fee that applies if you choose to refund or change the ticket. Any applicable costs are shown upfront, so you know what to expect before completing your booking.

Key Differences Between Cabin Classes

  • Economy:
    Offers the lowest price but may have strict change and refund rules.

  • Premium Economy:
    Includes extra space and flexible booking terms compared to standard Economy.

  • Business/First:
    Highest comfort with more perks, free changes, and larger baggage allowance.

How Cabin Classes Affect Your Booking

  • Flexibility:
    Higher cabin classes allow for easier changes and cancellations.

  • Services:
    Upgrades may include priority boarding, more luggage, or onboard amenities.

  • Rewards:
    Some classes earn more loyalty points or benefits.
