Feb 3rd, 2009 at 11:30AM: Summary: The low cost carrier (LCC) may seem like a new development in the aviation world, but the concept is anything but new. The first real low cost "no frills" airline was Laker Airways, which took off back in 1966 from the UK, and shuttled passengers to destinations all around the world for as little as $50. Laker Airways provided the inspiration for many of the current low cost carriers, ...Spirit Airlines staff fed up being called DD MILF'S by their employer
Jan 30th, 2009 at 1:00PM: The hard working cabin crew at Spirit Airlines are fed up - they are annoyed that their boss is inviting passengers to check out their DD's, and asking people to come book a "MILF". For those that missed out on a "movie classic", MILF is a reference from American Pie, and the abbreviation means "Mother I'd like to F**K". That's right - Spirit is using that cheeky reference as a way to get ...Spirit Airlines attempts to collect a cancellation fee off flight 1549 passengers

Either way, the airline always manages to come out on top. And never has that been more clear than in the case of Rob and Jeff Kolodjay. Rob and Jeff were scheduled to fly from La Guardia to Charlotte on a Spirit Airlines flight. When that flight was ...Spirit Airlines to sell ad space on overhead bins
Sep 19th, 2008 at 1:00PM: The era of in flight advertising is upon us, spearheaded by our friendly do-anything-for-a-buck carrier, Spirit Airlines. The airline known for its oft lewd fare sale names (see: MILF sale) recently started selling ad space on its tray tables, overhead bins and even, as The Crankyflier reports, on their garbage bags. I do wonder how much it costs to advertise on a garbage bag. Apparently their ...Spirit Airlines to start charging for MIDDLE seats!
Jul 1st, 2008 at 6:00PM: Airlines have been doing anything they possibly can to raise money over the past few months, from checked bag fees to charging for soft drinks to increasing the price for almost everything that formerly had a fee associated with it. Now, according to an article over at Smarter Travel, Spirit has decided to start charging extra for online seat selection. Carriers have done this before -- many ...Spirit Airlines: Workin with the commies
Jun 30th, 2008 at 2:00PM: Remember that trade embargo that the US has against all of Cuba? The one that forces you to drive to Tijuana to pick up Cuban cigars and the one that prevents you and your family from stopping in Havana on your annual cruise? Yep, that embargo. We as Americans have been forbidden from trading with the Socialist nation for over forty years now, as our good buddy Fidel Castro kept the country under ...
