The SkyGeek Blog - Aviation News and Information: It’s On Like Donkey Kong

If you’ve watched television within the last two months, you’ve probably had it hammered into your helpless skull that according to Southwest Airlines, “it’s on”! Exactly what “it” is…well you’ll have to ask them…because it’s about as vague as you can get. Is IT the Clown from the Stephen King movie on the plane with us!!! Tell me no….tell me no!!!! Probably not that, but apparently some sort of it is now on, leading me to reason that before Southwest Airlines must have been completely unplugged.

In actuality, I’m pretty sure it has something to do with your bags flying free when you go on a trip. If that’s the case, for us, “It’s been on” for years (note: we better watch out, new Cap-and-Trade legislation may tax us for being “on” so long).

That’s one of the perk’s of being a pilot / aviation enthusiast, not paying to bring your stuff with you when you go somewhere…if you can call that a perk. Whatever the case may be, I know that not paying to bring my bags somewhere is better than paying to do so. So Southwest is right in that respect, but then become grossly wrong when they begin to equate that thought with “it” being “on”. “That” is just “Off”.

Well, SkyGeek has a bag policy as well….but nothing is on. You know that quality bags are better than crappy bags. You also know that paying less for them is better than paying more. So, if you’re in need of a new bag to bring with you for free on your flight, here’s a few to choose from. Nothing is on, there’s no “it”…we’re just offering them to you if you need them at the low prices you’ve come to appreciate.
