Budget airlines are notorious for the things that they don’t offer. Their stripped-down version of air travel is one that provides a seat and little else. And that’s why it’s so frickin’ cheap!
But even budget airlines have to find ways to differentiate themselves from other budget airlines to win your business. Midwest Airlines, for example, is now offering a service in which a camera is trained on the hottest girl on the plane. The moment she falls asleep, her image is broadcast across the plane’s closed circuit television so that everyone can watch her snooze.
Not to be outdone, Spirit Airlines is now putting a “big, friendly sheep dog” on every plane so that passengers can have a bit of fun playing fetch as they’re flying over the Midwest.
Okay, ya got me. These aren’t real amenities. But they are two examples from a rather funny Onion article, Budget Airline Perks. Pop on over for a good read.
