Because a Simple Vacation Is No Longer Enough; From Nacation to Staycation, Cheapflights Covers Them All
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - As the turn of the decade nears, it's time to
look back at the changing vernacular of our industry and to align our
favorite terms with the airlines that best represent them. These vacation
and travel terms have become an enduring part of pop culture. Cheapflights celebrates the
creativity of the industry and the airlines that bring these vacation
options to life.
Without further ado, the Top 10 goes to:
Staycations: Cheapflights gives
this one to JetAmerica which went under practically before it even sold one
flight. While some people choose to stay home, JetAmerica didn't even give
consumers a choice.
Babymoon: Delta wins this, hands down, for offering new routes to romantic
destinations (think Hawaii, the Caribbean) in an effort to promote romance
among couples on what might be their last vacation for a long time once the
stork delivers.
Mancation: The box office hit, "The Hangover," takes mancations to the
extreme. Southwest is the top Mancation airline for offering numerous
direct routes to "man friendly" Las Vegas, Phoenix, New Orleans, and Fort
Myers.
Procreation Vacation: Singapore Airlines takes the booty on this one. Some
flights have beds and rumors claim you can make your "mile high" dreams
come true.
Ex-cation: Heartbreak hotel? Hop a last minute flight to make your ex
jealous and get away from the drama. Cheapflights.com named Airtran as the
Ex-cation airline with many routes at affordable prices so you can easily
make a last-minute escape.
Spacecation: Virgin Atlantic takes the prize as its CEO Richard Branson
claims that flights to space will be available as early as 2011.
Nacation: Air New Zealand takes this term for getting frisky with their ad
campaign featuring flight attendants clad with body paint sans real
clothes. They also offer matchmaking flights for single travelers to meet
potential partners in-flight.
Kidcation: JetBlue is fun to fly and makes for a kid-friendly flight! Blue
chips, TVs, and fun flight attendants help JetBlue fliers entertain
children. JetBlue also offers routes to many kid-friendly destinations such
as Orlando and San Diego.
Girlfriend Getaway: Virgin America helps girls who just want to have fun!
Virgin America has your own personal manservant RED who handles your every
request. Disco balls and tequila in flight help get your party started.
Rejuvenation Vacation: American Airlines is perfect for the relaxing
vacation. With direct routes to dozens of warm weather destinations, you
can be relaxed and rejuvenated before you remember you were stressed.
"Travel is fun, and I'm thrilled to see so many people embracing the
creative side of travel by planning girlfriend getaways and kidcations. The
best part is there's an airline for every angle, and we're excited to see
where these airlines take us next," said Melanie Nayer, senior site editor,
Cheapflights.com.
