I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but this was in an email of mine today! Sure wish I could use it!

Hurry, this sale lasts one day only. Many routes are on sale for only 1¢ each way!
Rub your eyes if you need to, but we can assure you that this is the real deal. Spirit Airlines just announced that it has lowered many fares up to 40%. As part of this sale, Spirit Airlines is offering fares as low as 1¢* each way. See the sample fares below. Book your 1¢* each-way fare before 11:59 pm ET on Wednesday, March 7, 2007.



Don't forget, Spirit's frequent flier members get 5,000 bonus miles just for booking their trip on spiritair.com!



As soon as temperatures start rising, so does the cost of travel. Now's the perfect time to get a great deal on a beach or European getaway. Crowds are at a minimum, and prices are still much less than during the summer months. Sample each-way fares, starting at just 1¢, with available dates:

We don't have Spirit Airways here but I just read on Airfare Watchdog that Spirit Airways is going to be charging customers to transport their luggage and also for any on-board refreshments.

This is what is posted:

Spirit to Charge for All Checked Luggage
Posted by George Hobica on Tuesday, March 06, 2007 at 3:41 PM to Airline Industry News, Airfare Tips
Looks like the execs at Spirit have been talking to the folks at Europe's Ryanair.

Get this:

"For customers who purchased tickets prior to December 15, 2006, for each ticketed passenger, Spirit Airlines will transport two (2) bags as checked luggage free of charge. For customers who purchased tickets between December 15, 2006 and March 6, 2007, Spirit Airlines will transport one (1) piece of luggage at no charge per fare-paying customer. For customers who purchased tickets on or after March 6, 2007 for travel on or after June 20, 2007, charges will apply to each item transported as checked luggage.

Spirit Airlines can only guarantee the transportation of one (1) item as checked luggage per fare paying customer. Additional bags can be purchased on a first-served basis; but Spirit cannot guarantee that there will be space for extra bags, and will not be held responsible for any additional items brought to the airport by the customer. Please note that space is extremely limited on certain flights."

Be sure to read their entire policy page. There you will see that they're also now charging $1 for coffee, tea, Coke, and other drinks. Even spring water. And they're no longer serving free booze in the "first class" section. The real question is will this embolden other airlines to follow suit.
