San Jose, California – The 15-year-old boy who survived a 5-1/2-hour flight from San Jose to Maui on a Hawaiian Airlines jetliner may have stunned the airline industry, but this unbelievable incident also gave airline officials new hope for an additional revenue stream.

Authorities had said that it was a miracle that the stowaway kid survived in the wheel well of the plane, as oxygen was limited at the jet’s cruising altitude of 38,000 feet, and the temperature dropping to 50 degrees below zero or even lower.

But now that it has been established that survival is possible in aircraft wheel wells, airlines are considering adding three additional passenger spots on all their planes – one in each of the three wheel wells. With minor adjustments, such as providing sleeping bags secured by seat belts, the airlines will soon be adding three passenger spots per plane. “We expect these new spots to sell like hotcakes” one airline official said, “because they will be sold at 50% off the published airfare rates.” There will be no beverage or meal service for this special ticket class, but complimentary sleeping pills will be provided for flights lasting more than theee hours.

Want an oxygen mask? That would be $5o extra!
