Spirit Airlines' MILF sale kicks off
.jpg)
It's great to see that the domestic low cost carriers have finally started stooping down to the international standard. While Spirit Airlines has oft been fond of strange fare sale names and promos, I think this one takes the cake: the Many Islands Low Fares or MILF sale.My, that's a strategically coincidental acronym, you say. I personally don't see any corollaries beyond the innocent M-I-L-F, but in case you're interested in any disambiguations of the term, I'd check out urbandictionary.
Sprit sales are kind of difficult to tolerate sometimes. On one hand, they have a wealth of dirt cheap (9$ - 10$) one way fares, but they make it near impossible to find a round trip ticket under those conditions. Usually you end up making up any savings from one direction with extra expense in the other direction. But if you're rife with free time to sift through the fares and travel on odd days of the week, give it a try.
What other sexy things are airlines doing to generate interest? For starters, RyanAir's got a semi-nude calendar of their flight attendants, and Virgin America brought scores of hot runway models on one of their flights. What's next?

Remember KIWI Airlines? They did a run of ads featuring their mascot, a bird named Capt. Kiwi. One ad for Mother's day read: Give your mother the bird for Mother's Day!

to bonitabodega...Yes I remember Kiwi Airlines. I was happy to see that other people remember Kiwi also. I was lucky enough to have worked there and we were a great Airline. I still stop in my tracks when I hear Garth Brooks song "The River" which was our theme song.
