Spirit airlines

It is worth saving $200.

It's fine

i just flew lax to las on spirit and it was fine. i went on with a backpack and my friend had a carryon suitcase and neither of us were charged.

$200 less, that's huge! Spirit flies one of the newest fleets in the industry. Other than their wacky business model, you won't know any difference, on a one time flight.

Eta- Just pack light.

I flew it from DFW to Orlando earlier this year. It was fine.

Used them on two international flights to South America -- probably saved $300-$500. No big issues other than our flight from Colombia getting delayed for a couple hours.

Did a day trip to Minneapolis from DFW last year and took them on the way back (flew AA going up). It was fine since I only had a backpack on me.

Just be informed and prepared. They nickel and dime for every little thing. I'm not a fan, but it works for some looking to find the absolute cheapest way from A to B.

I'd rather pay for a little more comfort than being a sardine.

I'm usually here on it. But saving $200 might be worth it. Just know that they literally charge extra for everything. It's been a few years since I flew with them, but I think the base price only gets you on the plane. You actually have an extra charge for your seat (which is mandatory, so why not just include it). I might be wrong on that, but that's what I remember.

Bottom line, it's fine. Just don't expect your final price to be $200 cheaper. I have a friend who is a rather large guy (6'4, >300 lbs) and he flew Spirit last year for a guys trip. His starting price was about $150 less than any others, and after he'd finished paying for everything (checked bag, larger seat, etc.), he broke even.

Watch for hidden fees and be prepared to squeeze into ur seat

I fly them weekly very few issues.
