They know that Sept. 11 will go empty, so they might as well give the seats away. They also know that very few people buy one way tickets on Spirit, and September is an extremely slow travel period, so they figure they give them a free ticket one way, and actually fill a seat with a paying passenger a few days later on the return.

"Had it not been for the support of our passengers and their willingness = to get back in the air after the tragedy last year, then Spirit Airlines ma= y not have survived," he said in a statement. The announcement comes as airlines around the country are determining how= to honor the tragedy that took the lives of about 3,000 people in New York= , Washington and Pennsylvania. =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 Hijackers took over four airliners on sept. 11, crashing two into the wor= ld Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and another into a field in Pennsylv= ania. Last week American Airlines (AMR), which lost two planes in the attacks, = said its pilots would make announcements on Sept. 11 this year asking passe= ngers to reflect on the significance of the anniversary and remember those = who died. American, the world's largest air carrier, said it would hold private mom= ents of reflection for its own employees, who lost 17 colleagues in the att= acks. LOWER DEMAND SEEN FOR SEPT. 11 ANNIVERSARY Several major U.S. airlines have reduced flights around the Sept. 11 anni= versary because of lower demand, including American and United Airlines (UA= L), which also lost two planes in the hijackings. But privately-held, Fort Lauderdale-based Spirit Airlines, which serves F= lorida and Puerto Rico as well as major cities around the nation, said it p= lans to run a full schedule of 90 flights to 14 locations on that day. The = press release called the anniversary "a day of freedom to travel." Laura Bennett, a company spokeswoman, said bookings had been at about 20 = percent of capacity prior to the announcement, above what the airline had b= een expecting. She said there has been an "amazing" response to the announcement of the = free seats. Based on the response so far, she said, she expects the airline= will give away all of the available seats. Spirit Airlines said reservations for the anniversary have to be made on = its Web site, http://www.spiritair.com and that people who had already book= ed flights for that day would receive flight credit for future trips.=20 =A92002 Reuters Limited.=20 Yahoo!
