 WELCOME

Passenger Rights (AAPR). Fed-up airline passengers should ask themselves
one or more of these questions…
-
Are you tired excessive tarmac delays
forcing you to sit on the runway for hours?
-
Do you feel like you're being
nickeled-and-dimed by the airlines with baggage fees?
-
Have you experienced poor customer service
during a recent flight?
-
Or maybe you have found air travel to
be inaccessible as a passenger with a disability?

Association for Airline Passenger Rights Urges Passengers to
Avoid Flying Spirit Airlines until ‘Carry-On’ Luggage Fees are
Eliminated; Decision comes as Spirit Airlines set to impose fees on carry-on
luggage effective August 1st
WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 27, 2010) –
The Association for Airline Passenger Rights (AAPR) today urged the flying
public to avoid patronizing Spirit Airlines and temporarily cease flying
on the airline until it eliminates its new “carry-on” luggage fees,
set to take effect on August 1, 2010. Spirit Airlines is poised to take the
airline industry’s current ‘nickel & dime’ business model
to the next level by imposing more fees on its customers for carry-on luggage.
AAPR is the only consumer rights organization to take this position thus
far.
