Spirit Airline Ads Boast Of No Knee-Busting Seats


Several recent commercial fights were emergency landed because of passenger fights about reclining seats and sore patellas. Spirit, the upstart budget airline, is taking advantage of the situation by revealing that no such troubles can happen aboard their flights. Their seats simply don’t recline.

Spirit schedules flights to more than 39 destinations in the U.S., Caribbean, Bahamas and Latin America. For current schedules, ticket prices and other info, go to www.spirit.com
