Fixing the Airlines Industry Because Flying Sucks – Financial Samurai
I’ve hatched a business idea in what might be the toughest industry—airlines. Despite its notorious track record for bankruptcies, I see a real opportunity because demand is undeniable!
Welcome to Samurai Airlines—where babies pay extra and the middle seat reigns supreme!
The inspiration for Samurai Airlines springs from countless frustrating flights. I seem to have the worst luck, always sandwiched between two giants or stuck in front of a crying baby. Despite being a frequent flyer with “Premier Status,” the experience often feels dismal. Here’s how Samurai Airlines will change the game:
Baby Section: The last three rows are reserved for families with babies, enclosed in soundproof glass. Parents can relax, knowing they won’t disturb others, and the rest of us can finally enjoy a peaceful flight.
Middle Seats Rock: Imagine this: the middle seat with both armrests, an inch of extra width, and even a built-in massage chair. Plus, all in-flight movies are free, and you get priority for overhead bin space.
Extra Big Section: Just ahead of the baby section, we’ll have three rows designed for larger passengers. This will be a learning opportunity for all—creating more understanding and encouraging healthier lifestyles.
On-time Guarantee: For every minute we’re late, you get a dollar credit towards your next Samurai Airlines flight. Late by two hours? That’s $120 in your pocket, making us strive for punctuality.
Conclusion:
Samurai Airlines is all about giving freedom and comfort back to passengers. We’re kicking off with five Boeing 787s for transcontinental flights, targeting an initial fundraising of $1 billion for all necessary expenses. We aim to lead with innovative solutions and superior service. If you’re interested in investing or have feedback, I’m all ears!
