Hooters Air begins flying Thursday, when it will make its inaugural flight from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach, S.C. One-way tickets are $129 (slightly more than competitors' average fares) whether you buy six minutes or six weeks before departure, a perk Hooters hopes will lure the last-minute golfer. A $99 introductory fare is available through April 6.
''The Hooters Air motto is 'Easy to Buy, Fun to Fly,' '' Hooters vice president Mike McNeil says. ''We're adding two Hooters girls to each flight, just to bring that added element of hospitality.''
The launch of Hooters Air coincides with Hooters' year-long 20th anniversary celebration.
The jets are painted in the restaurant chain's signature orange and white. Onboard Hooter girls wear their traditional orange short-shorts and white tank tops.
Only one plane will operate at first. A Newark, N.J.-Myrtle Beach route through Atlanta will be added March 20, and it also will offer one flight a day.
Why Myrtle Beach? Because Hooters has four restaurants along the resort town's 30-mile stretch called ''The Grand Strand,'' an area populated with dozens of golf courses.
Hooters Air retrofitted 737s with 112 midsize leather seats for more legroom in the plane. On board will be two pilots, three flight attendants and the two Hooters girls.
The girls will distribute material about restaurant promotions and assist the flight attendants with beverage service.
''The whole thing is for show, of course,'' says Michael Boyd of the Boyd Group, an aviation consulting firm in Evergreen, Colo. ''They're not going to be carrying the deacons of the Baptist Church anytime soon, but that's OK.''
Hooters chairman Robert Brooks promises, ''We will offer a level of comfort and service unlike anything in the air today.''
Maybe, but the Association of Flight Attendants has its reservations.
''Our concern is the dual role might be confusing to passengers in an emergency situation,'' says Dawn Deeks, an association spokeswoman. ''Safety and security is our main focus.''
Reservations can be made at www.hootersair.com or by calling 888-FLY-HOOT. |

I always thought there should be a topless airline serving Vegas -- always surprised no one ever put it together. This is close.

You think $1000.00 each of the C-10 could get us a flight on hOOters Airlnes to Finland for the weekend?
Mound trip?
STP 72 style?
If not, I'm sure we could rent a pilot, plane and babes for $10,000 for a weekend eh?
Take a thousand dollars lets go have some fun!
Put it all on, and then we'd be done Hang Fire!

My kid loves going to Hooters. I love taking him there. He's so cute that those gals just fall all over themselves to "hang out" at our table. A cute 7 year old is as good as a puppy for "babe bait".
Hey SDH...I was at the Hooters in downtown Chicago...the one near Dirty Dicks..a few years ago. Four of us went to a PSU/Northwestern game. We stop in at Hooters for an appetizer after the game. We order a pitcher of brew. You know how the Hooters girls pour your beer for you? Well, our HG poured the other 3 guys a perfect glass. Then she just sloshed mine full of foam. I looked at her like "Are you retarded?". She saw the look on my face, put on a sexy smile, bent down low with her ample bosum around my neck, and cooed into my ear...."You looked like you needed some head.". Of course I forgave her immediately. Her little remark made beer shoot out of my Dad's nose. She got a big tip.
God we had fun that night. |
