SPIRIT Airlines has stooped to a new low by using mobile female strippers to promote its new service to Las Vegas.
The strippermobiles – featuring bikini-clad women pole dancing on a moving truck behind flexi glass – are being driven around Los Angeles with the words: “I’ll go both ways for $18”.
Spirit’s new service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas began on May 5th.
The airline recently jumped on the back of the US Congressman Anthony Weiner debacle by offering a “Big Weiner Sale”.
The Florida-based airline announced the $9 fares as “too HARD to resist,” with a photo of a hot dog and the subject line: “Want To See Our Weiner?”
It’s not the first the airline has resorted to sex to sell flights.
