Even Air Force One doesn t get this kind of welcome.
An airport firetruck sprayed an arc from a water cannon as the Airbus A320, decked out in Allegiant Air s sunburst livery taxied to the terminal Thursday at Des Moines International Airport.
Workers then prepared the plane, which had started the day with a roundtrip flight from Des Moines to Houston, for its next flight to Portland, Oregon.
Inside the terminal, the waiting passengers were greeted with snacks, drinks and free Allegiant-branded merchandise.
Megaphone in hand, Hilarie Grey, a spokeswoman for Allegiant, welcomed them and told them they would get a $50 discount on their next Allegiant flight.
