Spirit Airlines

Guatemala is a very poor country, where the gulf between the wealthy minority and rest of the population is reported to be as wide as any place in the world.  In other words, the Koch brothers' utopian society.

To put ourselves in the mindset of the every day Guatemalan, we chose to travel from the United States to Guatemala like they do.  Here is a picture of a bus in Guatemala.  Looks just like coach class on an airplane, doesn't it?

The main difference between this photo and our flight with Spirit Airlines will be the plane's lack of carry on luggage, since that costs more.  I joked with some friends that the price of a Spirit Airline ticket is cheap if you want to fly naked, but just as costly as any other airline if you want to bring any clothes.

I thought myself pretty clever until I discovered that this was indeed their motto.
