Flights for 50 Cents!

In tribute to - and a cover of - Fascinating Aïda's Cheap Flights

Well, my sister had set the date
Getting married, ain’t that great
Taking place in Micklethwaite

Where the fuck is that?

Google names it “Arse end of Hell”
But it’s as far as I could tell

Quite near Harrogate

Travel costs, they may be obscene!
A pop-up then fills my screen

Flights for 50 cents!

Wow, flying out from Ajaccio
And the dates, they work out too
I had to book it on the spot

Nitwit, I am not
Yeah, terms and conditions would always apply

“Brexit bonus” is
The source of the low discount price, the website says

Though an airport tax: €154 would be charged

But I did not care
For I’m the one getting my flights for just 50c

Got there on time…the agent chimed
Oh! Seems you’ve not checked-in online!
Fifty Euros, please

But it’s free: standing on the wing
No? Inside! Then you’ll need a seat
Ninety euros, please

There is this green tax we must fee
Use of our loo for poo or wee
Sixty Euros, please

I paid all of these extra costs
Queued at Gate 1993
After eight hours, we took off

But the flight went well
Still, I was concerned by the signage, which read:

“Welcome to Skegness!”
Fanfare announced we’d arrived on time, like I gave a fuck

Speakers carried on
For travellers to Micklethwaite your bus...now awaits

Once you have pre-paid
If not, it’s just £82
In cash, if you please

Damn you BrexitAir!

Fifty Cents, my arse!!
