It's like a school bus with wings.

I flew with them once from NO to Houston.

I had a return flight cancelled last minute because it wasn't filled enough. They only flew out the location two days a week and I couldn't wait around 2-3 days. I had to book an expensive flight back on United.

I’ve had good experiences with Spirit. Only flew 3-4 times but they were on point.

So you taken a school bus from NO to Houston?

It funny the people who claim “x airline” is a bus with wings and not they realize they paid extra for the same plane with AA.

It’s not about the plane, it’s about the service.

Spirit has one of the newest, if not newest fleet in the industry.

They delay/cancel them half the time. If you don’t care when you get there or when you get back, they’re great


This was my only experience with them. My girlfriend had used them twice and had no problems going from Phoenix to salt lake city and back, so she booked tickets for us to go there. Day of the flight it was canceled and we got no email or anything to let us know. I found out a few hours before flight time when I was checking online to see if the connection was on time. We were going for a wedding so had to last second drive up and get there at three in the morning.

Needless to say that was the last and only time with Spirit for me.

The Spirit of JetBlue is a major carrier.

If price is your main consideration and you're totally flexible on the return, book with spirit. you need to be ok with a 50% chance your return is a different day or a completely different airline after they cancel.

I'm not poor, so you'll never find me on a spirit plane.

The other clientele on Spirit flights are the biggest problem in my limited experience. It was a noticeable drop in quality of human being due to the lower financial threshold to get a ticket. Being trapped in a confined space with shitty people is not worth it to me personally.

Just wait until you’re stuck on the tarmac for eight hours.

Sounds like a direct flight. Should be fine.

Imagine going to the worst Walmart you could think of. Now think of those same people packed in a plane with you for an hour. I’m talking screaming kids, BO, arguing etc. That’s Spirit

It is Popeye’s without the food.
It is a cultural experience.

It’s something that everyone should experience at least once.

Never flown it but it is a noticeably trashy crowd when you walk past spirit gates
