Throw in a free premium snack box and some soft airplane slippers, maybe even a hot damp washcloth before giving them their drink and snack just to make them feel even more special. Add a free checked bag and a guarantee they'd never have to check their carryon. Board before the wheelchairs too.
Instead of whining about wrong-sized planes, we could actually FIX that. Pull out some cheap seats, add a few less really nice seats. Hmmm sounds risky to copy what pretty much every other airline including spirit does to make more money...
curious what performance and fuel burn would be if we did that compared to what they said the -7 is? 🤔 Especially at places like SNA, MDW, etc.
