With travelers already paying a small fortune for flights around America, Spirit Airlines’ controversial decision to slug jetsetters an extra $30 for carry-on luggage has impressed no one. Now Armpocket, a brand who makes small eco-friendly travel accessories, are fighting back.
The Florida manufacturer will give anyone on the receiving end of these fees $30 online store credit, effectively reimbursing the charges and offering a solution to traditional carry-on bags.
“This is a win-win for travelers. We’re fully crediting them for the cost of these ridiculous fines,” said Mark Morgan, Co-Founder of Armpocket Enterprises. “And yes, with Armpocket, they’ll never have to worry about carry-ons that don’t fit in the overhead. It’s all you need to store your portables.“
To earn the credit flyers should Twitter @ Armpocket any time this month with proof of the charges. The $30 credit is enough for these travelers to score a free Armpocket Xtreme 30.
The Armpocket is large enough to carry most travel essentials, including your cell phone, MP3 player, wallet, and passport. As its name suggests, the purse crafted from recycled plastic bottles easily attaches to your arm. And with one of these babies, you need never pay that nasty surcharge again!
