Spirit Airlines blasted out an email promotion which claims their competitors are nothing but fake news:
Brilliant.
Most of my flights are via Contortionist Airlines aka Spirit because my body is limber, and their no frills approach appeases my inner stoic. The entire process of traveling is a mental test. Humans are, vile creatures by nature. The smell, and the shedding.
Turbulence often rattles loose air trapped in the gastrointestinal system. The spittle from a sneeze. Drunks.
These are my people, the derelicts who jam into small aluminum cylinders by the 100s to travel above the clouds on ghetto Spirit flights which are most often filled to capacity.
And the fuckers get you to spend as much as you would for a conventional flight from United or someone better. They fleece you once you’re in their web. Their bag weight limit, for instance, is 40 pounds instead of the standard 50. Go over and you’re forking out another 30 bucks or some bullshit. Just one example.
Overall, when a company stays up to date with their marketing, and pulls stunts like this, it tells me they get it.
Spirit air officially claims the “other guys” are fake news.
BULLISH

I’m on their email list and have flown them a number of times. What you say is 1000% on the money. As a tall dude, measuring 6’6″, I am not a fan of their cattle car approach to air travel and try to avoid them whenever possible. Sometimes the wife books our flights in an attempt to save a few bucks and once on the plane, she says she’ll never book me on spirit again. Of course that’s until the next time she does it. Regardless, their marketing is always current and clever.
