The Pope is heading to the United Kingdom for the first time since the 1980s, and one airline is particularly excited. Hoping to save the government some cash, easyJet is offering its services to shuttle Pope Benedict XVI from Rome to the UK. We think this is a good idea. After all, everyone is looking to save a little dough nowadays—especially since a traditional papal visit might cost as much as £20 million.
The low cost carrier is offering to fly the Pope for free, so he won’t even have to go online to try to score some of the lowest fares available. According to easyJet, if he does choose to take up the fly-for-free offer, he’ll be enjoying a generous luggage allowance, online check-in, and friendly staff throughout his journey. They’re so confident in their services that they feel that that once he has tried easyJet, his holiness will never look back.
All right, we realize that they are kidding, but it’s kind of funny and a good way to get easyJet in the news. It’s definitely a way better way to get some free press than threatening to charge passengers for the chance to use the in-flight lavatories.
