Turistiluokka

Turistiluokka, often translated as economy class, is the most basic and affordable seating option offered by most airlines on their passenger aircraft. It is designed to cater to the largest segment of travelers, prioritizing cost-effectiveness over extensive amenities. Seats in touristiluokka are typically arranged in a denser configuration than in premium cabins, meaning there are more seats per row. This configuration generally results in less legroom and a narrower seat width.

In-flight services in touristiluokka are usually more limited compared to business or first class. Meals and beverages are often provided, but the selection might be basic, and in some cases, particularly on shorter flights or with budget carriers, they may be offered for purchase rather than complimentary. Entertainment systems, if available, may be shared screens or personal seat-back screens with a standard selection of movies, music, and games. Passengers in touristiluokka typically have access to overhead bins for carry-on luggage and may be subject to stricter baggage allowances for checked luggage. Despite these limitations, touristiluokka remains the most popular choice for many travelers due to its significantly lower price point, making air travel accessible to a wider audience. The specific offerings within touristiluokka can vary considerably between different airlines, flight durations, and aircraft types.
