	reveries - tim mapes - song airlines
		While some have criticized Song for trying to offer too much to its passengers, the fact is that every little thing Song does to please its passengers goes back to a very simple insight -- that women are the gatekeepers of air travel decisions and that airlines all but ignore them.
		Song's mixture of low-prices and added-value services (roomy leather seats, at-seat digital TV, pay-per-view movies and internet access, to name a few) has drawn the inevitable comparisons to JetBlue.
		Song is also trying to spread that attitude in unconventional ways.

		Song's primary target customer is a woman traveling with her family for pleasure.

	frontline: the persuaders: shaping a new brand \| PBS
		When Delta Airlines decided to launch Song, a new low-priced, leisure travel airline that would target women and offer organic food and more entertainment options, Delta hired a veteran of the ad world, Andy Spade, who with his wife Kate is co-creator of the Kate Spade Company, a multi-million dollar line of fashion accessories.
		When we speak with Song, when we have our conversations, we never want to be too boastful or overpromise what it is. I think over time the people who fly will tell us whether it worked or not, and they'll say, "This is working"; if it isn't, we adjust it.
		The spirit of Song is different than the spirit of JetBlue and different than the spirit of American or different than the spirit of an airline like Southwest.
