Spirit Airlines Launches Biggest Sale Of The Year Cheap And Easy And Nothing To Hide

Fares from $9 each way* available at www.spiritair.com

 

Miramar, Florida (December 10, 2008) - Spirit Airlines has launched its biggest sale of the year – “Cheap and Easy and Nothing to Hide” – with fares from only $9 each way* available at www.spiritair.com.

 

Don't be fooled. Some airlines spend millions trying to convince people they have no hidden fees when they hide bag fees, drink fees and more in their fares, and some don't even have the decency to offer a seat assignment. It’s a shame that some practice such perverted acts as forcing passengers to pay for bags they don’t want because it’s hidden in the fare.

 

Spirit doesn't hide fees in the fare. Spirit gives customers the lowest possible fare and offers reasonably priced options. You only pay for the services you want. And it’s easy to book at www.spiritair.com.

 

Right now, Spirit is offering “Cheap and Easy and Nothing to Hide” fares from only $9* each way for $9 Fare Club members at www.spiritair.com. But the sale on the best fares ends on Thursday, December 11, 2008, at midnight eastern standard time.
