Alaska Airlines Discount... 10% on Holiday Travel if You're Gay (full rate if you're straight)
Alaska Airlines via Fat Wallet.com ^

Posted on 12/02/2007 12:39:39 PM PST by bshomoic

If you're straight you pay full rate.

But if you're gay they take 10% away.

To receive this discount just enter Discount Code EC06607

Other special discount code for gays can be found here.

Of course this is against federal law but hey, it's politically correct.

That particular code isn’t even to a gay event. It just happens to be linked to from the gay page, as it is from several other locations.

So, does the “No Smoking (Pole)” restriction still apply?

Anyone can use the code. They are offering specials for specific groups but are not preventing anyone from using the code. This is a standard advertising/promotion practice and is not against the law.

They have done the exact same thing with religious groups in the past: http://www.caci.org/convention/2008/alaska_airdeals.html

Did you complain about it when it was Catholics and not gays getting special treatment?

There are a lot of things to be upset about. This is not one of those things.

Why wait:

Save 10% on Alaska Air flights to NYC......if you're gay.

Airline 'discount' charges heterosexual customers more

Totally illegal and unconstitutional. But none of the lawmakers care! Normal people don’t threaten them with loss of their jobs.

So if you apply for the discount will they attempt to seat you in a "gay row"?

I've got a friend pretty high up in Alaska's management structure...he's gonna hear about this form me!!

I could say “discrimination,” but it wouldn’t apply here. Look at the terms of this discount code:

http://www.alaskaair.com/www2/Promo/ECertTerms.asp?code=EC06607

Nothing in any of the terms or conditions specifies who may or may not use the code. Is it being marketed to homosexuals? Sure. Is it available to anyone? Sure. Is that discrimination? Nope.

Nope, not illegal or unconstitutional. It’s a discount code that’s available to anyone.
