US low-cost Spirit Airlines to offer higher grade seats
米国の超格安航空会社（ＵＬＣＣ）スピリット航空が、いわばビジネスクラスのようなグレードの高い座席を設定するとの方針を明らかにした
US ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) Spirit Airlines has announced that it will offer high-grade seats similar to business class.
新たに設けられるのは「ゴー・ビッグ」と呼ばれるクラス
A new class called ”Go Big” will be created.
With a wide seat at the front of the cabin, your ticket includes snacks, alcoholic or soft drinks, one carry-on and one checked bag, access to streaming video, priority check-in and boarding, and more.
また客室後方には、３人掛けの中央の座席を空けた上位グレードの列を設ける
In addition, at the rear of the cabin, there will be a row for higher grades with the middle seat for three people vacant.
スピリット航空はこれまで、破格の基本運賃に持ち込み荷物などのオプションを上乗せする料金体系を採用してきた
Until now, Spirit Airlines has adopted a fare system that adds options such as carry-on baggage to an exceptional base fare.
In a statement, CEO Christie declared ”a new era in the history of Spirit.”
米ＵＬＣＣフロンティア航空との合併でいったん合意したものの解消し、同業ジェットブルー航空との合併計画は米連邦地裁に阻止された
An agreement was once reached to merge with U.S. ULCC Frontier Airlines, but it was later canceled, and a plan to merge with fellow airline JetBlue Airways was blocked by a U.S. federal court.
On the other hand, high-ranking tickets such as first class, business class, and premium economy tickets are selling well at major airlines.
