Or hopefully they’ll be priced out.

Nothing several dozen flights a day wouldn’t solve, contracted by the DHS, to places like Tegucigalpa, Caracas, San Salvador, and Mexico City. Especially San Salvador.

“Well, that’s fine for the self-deporting one-way tickets, but who is going to fly back on them for the next load? Might be the rare time when a subsidy for all those empty flights is worth it.”

I’m sure we can fill those planes up with bananas, avocados, and the like for the return flights.

The critics still bash
With no recent crash
Our red ink’s a rash.
We ran through our stash
and now need more cash.

Or branch out.

Not a plane but a train Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills and Nash) once took a trip on in real life. Animals are allowed to be taken on board by the passengers.

Marrakesh Express

Travelling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall-to-wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue.

Would you know we’re riding on the Marrakesh Express?
They’re taking me to Marrakesh.

I have flown Spirit Airlines a few times over the last couple of years for short hops and had/have no complaints. As a budget airline, they fulfill a niche consumer choice.

Ah.....the entremet to complete the poem in style. Thank you.

Entremet. Definition.
A French term for a sweet course served at the end of a meal). If the dessert is a small, complimentary item, you might call it mignardise or petit four.

I have a friend who is a real cheapskate. He said he would never fly Spirit again. They must be bad to make him not do business with them. He is as cheap mas it gets.

I don’t fly anymore so I don’t know.

Probably depends a lot on what part of the country and what ‘local flavor’ of clientele one has to put up with.

As one FReeper pointed out, we need Spirit Airlines so that we can fly on other airlines in safety and comfort..............

I don’t think Southwest seats go back far enough to trap people, and I’ve flown them many times. More like a few inches, 4 at most, but helps big time to prevent being crunched-in.
