Aviation: US baggage charges underwritten by ... a brothel
In a spectacular piece of cheeky marketing, a Nevada company has announced that it will refund its customers the USD15 luggage fee being imposed by some airlines.
Yesterday, "in the wake of recent airline announcements that travellers will be charged USD15 to check their first piece of luggage, a beloved Nevada institution is looking to offer its own fly-in customers something special on the ground...
"The World-Famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch, has announced that it will reimburse any customer the USD15 baggage fee who shows their claim stub at the brothel. The rebate -- similar to the stimulus tax-return checks currently being mailed by the U.S. government -- are intended to stimulate a warm feeling in Bunny Ranch patrons who might otherwise feel screwed at 30,000 feet without even joining the Mile-High Club.
"As long as the airlines keep sticking it to the consumer, we feel obligated to help," explains Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch. "And we won't ask what's in your luggage, even though the girls may be curious. We're all about helping the little guy -- so to speak."
