, the ultra-low cost carrier based in Miramar, Fla., unveiled new boarding procedures that the company feels will lead to fewer complaints.
“We understand the boarding process for most airlines can be lengthy, confusing, and frankly insulting,” Sidd Finch, Spirit’s director of boarding procedures, said in an emailed statement. “It’s important to clearly define who should board and when they should be given access to the aircraft.”
The new Spirit Superiority Boarding, which goes into effect on April 1, 2015, gives customers the following priority boarding:
1. Gluten-free customers
2. Members of the Illuminati
3. Those with O-negative blood type
4. Lauries
5. Steves
6. Squirrels
7. Secessionists
8. Men with Low T
9. Canadian royalty
10. People who eat kale
11. Business-in-the-front-party-in-the-back Class
12. Everyone else
Good news for Canadian royalty and those rocking mullets (related: this would be an awesome Venn diagram) or those who are part of the secret New World Order travel network .
The airline hopes most people will realize this is an April Fools joke.
Spirit (NASDAQ: SAVE) closed at $77.36 on Tuesday, March 30.
