I'm going to Disney in March. This was supposed to be a budget trip, but I'm not going to skimp on being comfortable. I could have flown more cheaply out of Lansing on NWA, USAir or Continental, but I feel they just don't have the concern for the comfort of their passengers that MWE has proven THEY have in the past. So, from now on when I fly, I'm going to be a loyal passenger of MWE until they give me a reason not to be.
Sure, it's about $100.00 more than other flights and I have to drive to Grand Rapids to catch a puddle jumper to skip across the pond, (Lake Michigan) but it'll be worth it to me to sit in what amounts to a first class seat with ample leg and elbow room, a palatable meal on real china using cloth napkins (last time I flew it was chicken and shrimp w/salad & roll and those lovely, warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies!), complementary glass of wine (red or white) with dinner AND TWO, count 'em, TWO! cans of pop or water if I wanted.
As far as I'm concerned, all the other airlines can offer me is a squished seat and a bag of pretzels. If all you're looking for is a bus to Florida, by all means take the discounted seats. For myself, it's a matter of a pleasant journey being just as important as the destination. With MWE I can fly First Class w/o paying First Class prices.
(WOW!
Did that sound like an ad or what?)
