Several recent commercial fights were emergency landed because of passenger fights about reclining seats and sore patellas. Spirit, the upstart budget airline, is taking advantage of the situation by revealing that no such troubles can happen aboard their flights. Their seats simply don’t recline.

The airline happily advertises "the new definition of luxury: flying all the way to your destination without someone's chair in your lap." Spirit schedules flights to more than 39 destinations in the U.S., Caribbean, Bahamas and Latin America. For current schedules, ticket prices and other info, go to www.spirit.com
