Open curtain to a bustling airport where our protagonist, a traveler, fitted out with a Hawaiian shirt and a fedora, takes center-stage. He holds an Allegiant Airline ticket from Billings to Reno-Tahoe in his hand. He flashes a beaming smile and announces to invisible travel companions, "Ahoy, mates! We're up for an adventure."
Our traveler pauses, allowing for laughter, then continues, flapping the ticket like a captain steering his ship, looking out over an imaginary ocean, "Allegiant Airline, ah! The very name is reminiscent of a trusty old pal. Solid, reliable, a companion through thick and thin!". He raises an eyebrow, "Just don't expect in-flight Netflix, okay?"
He strides towards the terminal, speaking over his shoulder, "By the way, folks, do you fancy flying for the cost of a fancy dinner? I’m not kidding! Allegiant's deals are so wild, you'd think they're having a perpetual Black Friday! "Pats wallet, "My wallet's certainly not complaining."
Our lead then winks at an imaginary camera, his voice dipping into a politically correct version of pirate-speak, "Ahoy, me hearties! Take note, Allegiant is a 'point-to-point' operator. What's in it for us you say? Straight to the destination with no fussy layovers. Why, even Captain Jack Sparrow would approve!"
On the imaginary airplane now, our traveler, now buckling up his seatbelt, reassures the anxious flyers amongst his invisible companions, "Strapped in and ready to conquer the skies. Remember, turbulence is just nature's speed bump." No laughter. He shrugs, "Guess, you had to be there."
As the plane "takes off", our traveler points to the imaginary wing outside the window, exclaiming with a dramatic gasp, “Flight of fancy! Check out those winglets, mates. Allegiant goes the extra mile to reduce drag thus saving fuel... and hence they even pass on the savings to us, the passengers!” He crosses his fingers and whispers, "Hoping this translates to extra Mojito money in Reno."
Our traveler leans back and smiles, pretending to savor a inflight snack, "And folks, get ready to taste the sky with Allegiant’s buy-on-board snacks and drinks. Trust me, it’s like having a picnic up above the clouds!" He frowns suddenly, "Oh, where’s my inflight picnic blanket?"
The landing announcement is heard, and our traveler pops out of his airplane seat, ready to leap into his Reno adventure, "We’re almost there folks! Brace yourselves. Strap in your seat belts, hold onto your hats, and prepare for the Grand Exit".
As our traveler “exits” into the busy, buzzing Reno-Tahoe, he turns back one last time, raises his hand and calls out, "And remember, Allegiant Airline's motto might well be 'Everything in moderation, including moderation'! So, welcome to Reno-Tahoe, the biggest little city in the world and the land, where like us, even moderation refuses to be moderate. Score!" Slow fade out.
