tourist class

Cheapest travel tier

Tourist class is the cheapest category of accommodations on an airplane or ship—economy seating rather than business or first class.

The term dates from when air and sea travel offered more distinct tiers of service: We flew tourist class to save money.

Now largely synonymous with economy class.
