Spirit Airlines Celebrating Their 69th Plane With 69 Dollar Flights Is Awesome (And Of Course People Are Mad About It)

MIRAMAR, Fla. — When it comes to clever — or inappropriate, depending on your perspective — business promotions, the sky is apparently the limit for Spirit Airlines. The airline’s new campaign celebrating its 69th aircraft is making waves on the Internet — and, well, it’s not difficult to see why.  “We’ve been waiting to hit 69 planes for years,” the online promotion begins. Innocent, perhaps, at first glance — but it doesn’t end there. “It’s our favorite number…” continues the (real) promotion, “ever since we were twelve and found that magazine under our brother’s bed. (The one with the fantastic articles.)”

If you’ve ever been on Spirit Airlines, they are the WORST. It’s just shitty, man. Shitty everything. I’m pretty sure they charge you if you want to bring a jacket onto the plane. Flying to Green Bay? 40 dollars more if you want to wear shoes. But that’s kind of their whole thing. They get you from point A to point B with the guys who barely know how to fly a plane behind the wheel and with no leg room to speak of. But they are just like a dog who won’t stop going through the trash and shitting in the house- you still love them anyway. Because at the end of the day, a major airline celebrating their 69th plane with 69 dollar flights is awesome. I love when companies treat us like adults (by making juvenile jokes, funny how it works like that). Spirit knows we are all idiots who enjoy 69 jokes. They know calling it the “Bare Fare” and saying “use you mouth” to spread the word works better than any dumb advertising campaign United would put out. Sure flying Spirit is the nut worst, but we’re all going to continue to do it because of shit like this.
