Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has earned almost enough airline miles to upgrade from Economy to Business Class on his next flight, according to a spokesperson for Change Airlines, Obama's personal air carrier. The spokesperson says Obama has earned approximately nine and a half million miles, almost enough to upgrade one leg of his next domestic flight.
Since announcing his candidicy, Obama has flown almost exclusively with Change Airlines, which he credits with being the only air carrier to adopt his still undisclosed policies. Obama says Change Airlines will be the air carrier of the future, "bringing change to the millions of air travelers that want change when they fly."
Change Airlines, like its competitors, has changed the number of miles needed for an upgrade -- from ten thousand to ten million. However, airline passengers have seen few other differences between Change and the other air carriers.
"They bump you from your flight, cram you into tiny seats like sardines, and make you board last unless you buy an incredibly expensive ticket -- where's the change in all that?" asked one Change Airlines customers.
Obama predicts Change Airlines will better serve the lower income customer. However, he would not elaborate further.
"Yeah, right," said one disgrunted passenger. "They crammed me in the back, charged me for a coke, and snapped at me everytime I tried to put my tray table down. At the same time, Obama was up in first class getting a champagne bath."
Last year, Change, keeping true to its name, increased the amount of miles needed for a domestic upgrade from ten thousand to ten million. Other airlines have since followed suit.
"Change Airlines represents what the Obama campaign is all about," said Obama. "People expect change from an airline and change is what they are going to get. It's all going to change. Just vote for me and I'll show you what change is all about."
