Sanibel Harbour, Fla. – With airline travel becoming more costly and less pleasant, Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, a relaxed yet sophisticated resort tucked among 85 acres of exquisite coastal scenery, introduces the Airline Antithesis program, making travel more straightforward without the constant “nickel-and-diming.” After booking a low rate without hidden fees -- starting at $198 per night, available through March 30, 2009, once-weary travelers are greeted on property with complimentary peanuts and No Fly Zone-tini cocktails. With guaranteed accommodations (as in no chance of missing a vacation due to “overbooked” flights or “unassigned seats”), guests find plenty of space for stretching out in elegantly-appointed accommodations, fully-equipped with ample plush pillows and soft blankets, and can even watch an in-room movie…for free. And, luggage is delivered safely too and from rooms, with no per-bag charge.
