Can anyone provide some insight on how reliable Spirit is out of NOLA? Going to Chicago next month and worried that I will be thrown to the wolves or stranded due to a cancellation.
Are they really that damn bad?

They are really that bad. One of the most miserable expieriences of my life.

I've actually done the Chicago flight and it worked out. They will be delayed. Chances are if you don't have a connection you'll be ok.

If you have to connect with them you're fricked.

Early morning or evening flight? Makes a huge difference for delays

I've flown with them once, to O'Hare. Didn't have any issues at all

Don't worry. It's coming.

Used them twice. No real problems just some delays and luggage issues.

3rd time. Armageddon. Literally stranded at an airport, with thousands of pissed off people. Nothing to do with weather.

This has happened to them hundreds of times.

I'd be a little concerned about that 6pm, tonight it actually cancelled due to bad tstorms up in chicago. The early morning return should be fine. Routing for your plane is usually iah-ord-msp-dtw-msy-ord so hope for good weather

I saw that. You are either a route analyst or an airline industry fanatic like me.

Will be hoping for the best. Thanks!

Get flight in the morning if possible. I understand Spirit may only have a single flight a day on this route. What day of the week is the flight?

Bunch of pussies in this thread.

If you want to save money, fly spirit.

If not, fly something else. Very simple

Spirit airlines is made for 18 year olds who carry a single backpack and want nothing while traveling.

i had literally zero problems with spirit. I went to chicago RT for 89 bucks and brought a backpack, bottle water, and almonds. I was prepared and it was good

I'm 1-0 with them, Mrs. Fut is 1-0 with them as well.

I'll only use them as a last resort due to the bad PR & the flight I was on looked like a bad Third World bus.

There's a lot of crazy shite you could say that I'd find more believable than this. Not saying you're lying, it is just very rare to hear anyone say they haven't had any issues with Spirit.
