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.

As an Alaska Airlines Member I am outraged by this.

Do you think they ask you to prove it?

And, if so, how?

Totally illegal and unconstitutional.

Are AARP discounts "totally illegal and unconstitutional" too?

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

Even if it's not available to anyone, it would still be legal and constitutional would it not? Are AARP discounts illegal and unconstitutional since it's an age discrimination discount not available to anyone less than 50 years old?

The only condition is that they make you enter the aircraft through the back door!

Probably true. Still, considering that airlines are “public accommodations,” and that many states have included sexual orientation in their nondiscrimination statutes, it’s probably easier to just point out that the program is open to everyone.

I do not think I could pass for gay, but could I get say 5 per cent off for claiming to be metrosexual?

“Please don’t lie or distort in your posts, it makes us all look bad and perpetuates the Wiki stereotype of a FReeper. The 10% discount to NYC, code EC06607 is available to everyone and linked to from several locations on the Alaska Air website. You just happened to link to from the gay travel page. Don’t make false claims that straight people are expected to pay full price when it’s obviously untrue.”

BUMP!

This thread prob needs a good killin’

So - does this mean if you're light in the loafers - your baggage weighs less - using less fuel - justifying 'special' pricing?

Here's the test:

At check in, have the agent ask 'I smell baby lotion and poop - who started the party without me?'

If the customer holds their nose and cringes - no discount.

If they giggle, grin and do a little chacha happy dance - 'Did you check your own bag, purse, pouch, er...whatever you call that little furry pink thing you have with you..'

Hello? Alaska Airlines?
I’m gay and want a discount.
Yes. That’s right. My wife and kids are gay too.
Yes. Right. Right.
OK thanks.

What ever happened to ‘equality’? This is as annoying as the over 65 discounts.

Sounds like all you have to do is ‘say’ I’m gay and get 10% discounted. Remind me if I need to fly, that I’m a lesbian that day, will ya?

I am wondering how Alaskan males will react to this offer. Any Alaskan males here?
