Man Has Mixed Feelings About $39 Flight
SANDY SPRINGS, GA—Moments after saving hundreds of dollars on round-trip airfare from Atlanta to Los Angeles, Phillip Walden, 41, experienced mixed feelings about the bargain $39 Southwest Airlines flight. What sort of corners would they have to cut to make a profit on that low a fare? Walden wondered aloud after completing the Travelocity.com purchase. Would $39 from every passenger even cover the fuel? For safety''s sake, Walden resolved to buy the second-cheapest ticket available from now on.
The onion is a parody newspaper, just before you get all hot .

I know that WN doesn't fly from ATL and they don't offer $39 fares to go from coast-to-coast. Sounds like a bogus story.

Wonder when we will see a reality-based parody about the passenger who paid 15 times more (for a use-it-or-lose-it ticket) to fly between the same cities on a cartel airline losing $$$ at record rates while experiencing main cabin service that can in no way be differentiated from the product offered by Southwest.

People like us know far more about airlines than is really necessary.
