Hilarious Ellen DeGeneres Parody of United Basic Economy

Matthew Klint Posted onFebruary 2, 2017 4 Comments

I don’t watch the Ellen Show. Heck, I don’t even have a TV in my home, but when I saw this video today I had to laugh.

United Basic Economy is coming soon and Ellen has a field day poking fun at what this means for travelers:

While I hope it will not lead to a repeat of the Lord of the Flies, the new Basic Economy is sure to ruffle many feathers. Find out all you need know about United’s new product below.

    While I blame a lot of the misunderstanding on United’s Communications team, I can’t believe how many people get the basic facts of Basic Economy wrong. Sorry Ellen, luggage can go in the overhead compartment, it’s just that full-size carry-ons won’t be allowed in Basic Economy unless the user has a co-brand card or is elite.
