Spirit Airlines - Do not fly on this one!

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Today is a great day for me, I am flying to Las Vegas for our annual convention WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International). The only problem that I have is… SPIRIT AIRLINES. Oh gosh I don’t even know how I should start this post.

After the “circus” that Airports and Air Companies started doing here in America, I can say that it have taken away all the pleasure of flying. I know that they say that is because of security, blah, blah, blah. Than you have the huge lines, blah, blah, blah. Than, you can not bring liquid, blah, blah, blah. Than you have no food inside the airplane anymore.

But today I got the latest of I can qualify “lower quality company” in a modern world. I got my tikets and hotel confirmation, form TRAVELOCITY.com and haded to the airport. When I got here, the lady from SPIRIT AIRLINES told me that it would cost me extra $20.00 for my only bag that I was checking in. I was surprised that my medium bag would be that heavy. Than she told me that was not because of the weight. That was the new Policy ($20.00 per Bag).

Can you imagine that? Would you be OK if you were taking a taxi and the driver turned to you and charge for each bag or each person, etc?

I don’t know… Maybe it is just me, or it is just because I am still waiting my Flight here at Fort Lauderdale Airport.

But tell me… Am I wrong? What happened with quality and excellence of service?

Anyway… Get away from SPIRIT AIRLINES!!!

I will meet you at WPPI Las Vegas

It is finally here. The WPPI, Las Vegas - USA

For who doesn’t know about WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International), this is it… the one… the best… the biggest… ETC!!!

No matter what I say about this convention, it would still be much and much MORE!!!

I am getting on a 5 hours flight From Fort Lauderdale (Florida) to Las Vegas (Nevada) for 5 days of the best of what the Wedding Photography Industry has to offer. I will be there exchanging experiences with the best Wedding Photographers in the world.

But the fact is, I am one of the very few Professionals from South Florida that will be going to WPPI 2008.

Now…, Here is a question to you (BRIDE) sleep on it!!!

You already know that WPPI is the place where the best Wedding Photographers will be meeting this next week. The question is… Why would you hire or invest your $$$$$ in a Photographer that didn’t come?

A good Photographer doesn’t just affiliate… A good Photographer has to be part of it.

I will try to write some few posts from there. OK?
