Exciting fare to Quebec City!
The fare of $371 is for Regular Economy, which includes an advance seat assignment and a standard carry-on bag.
On the other hand, United Airlines offers a lower fare of $285, which is classified as Basic Economy. This fare does not allow for advance seat assignments; instead, your seat will be assigned randomly at check-in. Furthermore, if your carry-on bag doesn’t fit under the seat, there will be a $35 fee for each leg of the journey, plus any applicable gate check fees (however, those fees are waived if you hold a United co-branded credit card or have elite status with United).
