standard class

No frills seating

Standard class is the basic tier of service on trains, planes, or other transportation—comfortable but without the extras of business or first class.

In British rail travel, standard class is the default ticket type: We booked standard class to Edinburgh.

The term appears in other contexts where service levels are tiered, always indicating the baseline option rather than premium.
