Spirit Airlines Launches Club for Low Fares

Mar 13th, 2007 | By Jared Blank

Say what you will about Spirit Airlines, but you cannot deny that have been pretty innovative on the marketing front lately. In their latest move, they have introduced what they’re calling the $9 Fare Club. Basically, you pay $30 a year (or $10 for a 3-month trial), and you’ll get access to their super low sale fares before anyone else (by "super low" I mean "$1"). I have no idea if this is a good deal, as those $1 fares (and $8 fares and whatnot) generally aren’t available as part of a reasonable roundtrip. But, if you live in a market with a fair amount of service from Spirit, it may be worth the $10. Either way, has any other airline thought of making you pay to get low fares? Brilliant.

Airplane toilets really suck… literally - Some light fare for a pre-holiday Friday afternoon… My favorite gimmick from the recent (brilliant) AirTran PR stunt, wherein comedian Mark Malkoff lived on AirTran planes for an entire month, ostensibly to get over his fear of flying. In the process, he learned about the vacuum power of airplane toilets, as is evidenced [...]
