re: What airline do you fly and why?

Have you ever actually flown Spirit? Not trolling, just asking. I felt the same way until I used them once. If you only have one carry on and know what you’re getting in to they are not bad. I actually was able to upgrade to their “business” seats in the front of the plane for 45 bucks upon check in. I get it they are zero frills, but their fleet of planes are newer and they are safe.

Depends. Long as they don’t cancel your flight at last minute or as long as you don’t have to make it to a close connecting flight or have a stop or two before destination and don’t mind paying so much for any luggage beyond a small backpack, Spirit can be serviceable.

All things being equal, we prefer SW for our usual destinations, price, scheduling, free baggage, seating choices. Somewhere special, we’d look first at Delta, then maybe AA. But prices matter.
