re: Question about Spirit Airlines.

My wife and I flew from MSY to Boston a couple weeks ago. She booked the flight and was being frugal but I was skeptical because of the horror stories. The only complaint I have is the seats aren’t that comfortable and not much room. She did pay extra to pick our seats and to bypass regular security or something to that effect. The clientele going through security was what I imagined but that didn’t necessarily carry over to the people on our plane. I guess Boston isn’t at top of their places to go.

It was a fairly new plane (Airbus) and the crew was friendly and courteous. I had a couple of double Tito’s and cranberry that made it more tolerable. I was also on a knee scooter since I just had foot surgery so they pulled me out of line to board with the first group. They took my scooter when I was getting on the plane and had it ready for me at the door when we got off the plane. All in all, not too bad but like others have said, it’s not luxury by any means and it’s cheap so lower your expectations.
