Well, the price did look low and it was the only flight that went non-stop to Dallas--about 2.5 hrs of flying time.By the time my wife got off the jet, she felt like she had been held captive at an auction. Or, sitting a big league game and having people walking the aisles selling food. But what happens around a sports arena gets very, very tiring when stuck in your seat on a long flight. And in the last 30 mins., the flight attendants hit the aisles peddling credit cards--with a deal you MUST buy before the plane lands to take advantage of it. Later on, we learned that there is a commission for these poor folk who make their money with these sales. How about it? All aboard!
A couple of thoughts...
If you are well aware of this environment--okay, don't fly them. If you want the discount, then bring an MP3 Player and read. Extinguish the toxic experience. Just recognize that the flight attendants work on commission and you can choose to opt out...unless that is you are booking your spouse's flight and stick that person into that experience unknowingly.
Funny, they call it Spirit? The gift of the Holy Spirit is exactly the opposite! It lifts, opens and enriches human spirits. Of course, that's a better way to fly!
