One annoying thing about basic economy fares is that the airline charges you to carry your own bag on (though I think one or two airlines may have since reversed this policy). It is “enforced” by relegating basic economy fares to the last boarding group, by which time the overhead bins are likely already full. While basic economy + carryon fee is usually still less than regular economy, it feels like the airline is coercing more money out of you to avoid the risk of a bad customer experience.
