Spirit Airlines, known for being a low-cost alternative when it comes to air travel, began promoting a $69 round trip fare on Tuesday.
And while the deal offered is pretty sweet, the way in which it's being advertised is very sexually suggestive.
We've been waiting to hit 69 planes for years. It's our favorite number - ever since we were twelve and found that magazine under our brother's bed (the one with the fantastic articles). #69 is perfect: just the right size, with a cockpit that's in your face (because it's bright yellow). Use your mouth to spread the word: Spirit is in an even better position to get you where you're going. We're popping an epic Bare Fare in celebration! $69.00* round trip!
And, as you'd expect, folks on the internet had varying responses to the deal:
Some weren't fazed, mainly because the airline has a reputation for not being very accommodating.
$69 flights 😩 too bad I hate Spirit airlines!
Spirit Airlines celebrates its 69th plane with $69 fares... emphasis on the 69. To bad your airline is the worst airline ever.
Some were amused by the offer.
LOL, did anyone else receive that Spirit Airlines email? #69
@BuiltBearTough @SpiritAirlines It's $69 airfare. It's a figurative win-win! Let it be!
And others welcomed the deal with open arms, hoping the airline would keep the promotional offers coming.
I don't care how immature Spirit's promo was today, I just got a ticket to Vegas for $69. Keep up the weird sex promos #spiritairlines
