Spirit Airlines Low Business Class Fares

May 19th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

Spirit Airlines has a sale on their business class fares and they’re extremely reasonable: New York to LA is about $500 round trip (even cheaper midweek), while New York to Florida is about $350 round trip (again, cheaper midweek). Spirit’s business class is roughly on par with domestic business class on the larger carriers, so this really is a steal. (though let me note that, at least right now, if you go to Spirit’s homepage, you’ll see an ad that shows a woman lying next to a man and she’s saying, "loved those extra 6 inches." I’m at least as rude and immature as the next guy—probably more—but I mean, come on.)

Depends on who the next guy is.

I agree — it’s one thing to be feisty, but this is over the top. BTW, as the ad’s popups continue, they say “Admit it — size does matter.”

I guess they’re not trying to be a “family airline.” :

Apparently this is not the first time Spirit has used this sexual innuendo to advertise their business class. Somehow we missed it last year!

Airplane Xing: Gibraltar’s bizarre runway - Look both ways before crossing the runway! Reader KB pointed me toward the Airport of Gibraltar, which has a road intersecting the airport. I’ve driven under taxiways and runways, but never across one. I believe the plane has the right of way… Space in Gibraltar is at a premium, and tunneling into the [...]
