Spirit woos fliers off couch and into coach
22.05.12
Spirit Airlines, set to hit the runway in May at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, will do almost anything to save a buck or hawk a ticket.
Executives take out their own trash. The company reduced the number of bathrooms on its planes to accommodate more seats. Its ticker symbol is SAVE.
Already, the penny-pinching carrier has lifted the spirits of local travelers who are thrilled with the prospect of snagging a cheap flight in a market with high fares. Spirit will begin with three flights a day from MSP to Chicago's O'Hare and one daily flight to Las Vegas. And fliers can get to several other popular destinations connecting through those cities.
