10 Quick Tips for Your First Flight on Spirit

[@billshinker7990]

Your review was SO clear with no needless info. To the point and pleasant. Thank you!

[@michelelara5982]

yep, I agree! Thanks for the vid & tips.

I flew Spirit for the first time a few weeks ago round trip to Orlando, and had great service. The flight attendants were amazing.

[@gavin3598]

Never had a problem flying Spirit. They get me from New Orleans to my friend in Ft. Lauderdale for around $100 round trip direct. I travel alone and with a decent sized backpack, never been asked to check size. Always a pleasant flight.

[@livvy833]

thank you for the positive reassurance. this is the first time i’m flying on my own, or at all since i was a kid, so i’m very anxious about this and all the negativity i’m hearing about spirit is making me regret buying a ticket without looking into the airline much, but in the end my flight is only about two hours and like you said it’s about the destination.

[@RoxCity]

Hope it went well

[@EnglishMathTutor]

"Glorified cattle car," had me laughing hysterically. Oh, Lord. What have I gotten myself into by flying Spirit for the first time? Now I'm dreading my flight tomorrow afternoon.

[@Honeysuckle82]

I just flew Spirit and it wasn't bad but my flight was from Orlando to Atlanta. This flight was perfect and I had my personal item to carry clothing. The entire flight was 32.40.

[@rccoh777]

4:39 Lol.. "Paying for breathing air in the airplane.." ...love it :-p

[@ayanacheech1711]

Great video. Thank you for this. It actually is a lot to consider. Spirit might be the way to go sometimes, but like you said, it might be easier to buy a ticket from a bigger airline on other occasions, especially when it comes to luggage. 😥

[@LaurenMunroe]

*immediately downloads movies and shows* thank you for the info! 👍🏾

[@joannecovington587]

Thk you so much for taking the time to share your experience and tips

[@AutoFOCUSED.]

If you read the guidelines on the website, you can actually carry a camera alongside your bag, which is pretty decent.

[@michelelara5982]

We are flying with an infant, and I hope it's all a smooth process for us. Thanks for the tips! You spelled it all out for us :)

[@RoxCity]

Hope it went well

[@michelelara5982]

vacay is not till nov. wish us luck!

[@salvatorerossi2315]

Thank you, unfortunately i have to go on Spirit, I just know it's going to be uncomfortable even with a big front seat...thank you for your well done video...

[@jorgemarquez328]

Im used Spirit Airline San Juan to MCO : My experiencie is good, no reservation problems, nice plane , good service, no delay and will continue ....

[@thedoctor8001]

Spirit is ok as long as your flight isn't over 2 hours because the seats are uncomfortable AF...Also make sure your check-in bag isn't over 40lbs or that will be an extra $35.

[@oryx032000]

Great video! I'm flying Spirit for the first time tomorrow!

[@RoxCity]

Hope you had a good experience!

[@asiyaridwan13]

I wish I saw this earlier round trip for my family of 8 total cost 800$ found a much cheaper flight on delta plus luggage total would be 600 but spirit won’t let me cancel

[@gregis2628]

Thank you so much. I was watching other videos and I was like ‘oh, this is bearable.’ I watch this review and the video was not done and I texted my friend not to purchase my ticket from spirit 😂😭 i don’t like surprises.

[@KrystleGourjuss]

Omg...tbanks for sharing this about spirit. I hear a lot of people complain about them. I don't think I'll ever want to fly with them..

[@chavitavb]

Note** you’re only charged when printing from the desk. Use the kiosk !

[@MeOw-cf5gi]

Bluesocks 11 or print at home

[@r41482]

Yep! And last time I flew the kiosks weren't working so they checked people in at the desk for free

[@user-nh8ht8wf9k]

Bluesocks 11 the kiosk is free ?

[@jenniferfertitta7616]

If you purchase your local airport you have 24 hours to add on your checked and carry on bags or make changes just as if you purchased online and you save the $20 per ticket passenger usage fee.

[@CrescentMoon566]

Jennifer Fertitta what does this mean mam ?

[@nurseshaye2099]

Your videos are awesome

[@passiveinvestor1978]

Where do you put souvenirs in your jam packed bag?

[@RoxCity]

I don’t like travel souvenirs, luckily.

[@peachesfrazer8129]

The first I am going to fly on spirits. For personal items can I take my coat and neck pillow in my hands?

[@suesue242]

peaches frazer ikr I need to know this question too!

[@garysavala665]

Just don’t stuff your backpack too much in case the gate agents are watching they might try and charge you . Other than that spirit is just fine

[@kevindavis2315]

Update: Spirit is getting WiFi soon

[@MeOw-cf5gi]

kevin davis really where did u see that

[@davidperry4013]

I have heard that from Facebook

[@RoxCity]

Wow that’s great and only $6.50

[@exoressdelivers70]

Years later...now 2021 just flew with Spirit. Still No wi-fi..

[@PrettiPetty24]

@@exoressdelivers70 exactly

[@MeOw-cf5gi]

I told my brother there’s no WiFi on spirit so he couldn’t play fortnite and he started crying. Lmaooo

[@RoxCity]

Ha ha ha!

[@MeOw-cf5gi]

I’m bringing a normal size checked bag which will crush the duffel bags because checking a bag is cheaper. So lolololol

[@RoxCity]

Yes I’m checking a bag on my next flight ...it’s a longer trip

[@HouseOfMoy]

I have no problem with spirit airlines if people just read and do stuff ahead of time they will be fine. People complain about the smallest things

[@ringdingersworldwide741]

I asked for peanuts and a root beer and they laughed in my face and called me a peasant

[@joelwarcry]

Maybe you look like a peasant

[@supernerd7093]

people complain about spirit but than fly with them again and again. people vote with their wallets and spirit is making lots of $$$$… so I rest my case!

[@alishamcclellan6837]

Whats the fees for checked luggage

[@RoxCity]

Depends on when you buy , cheapest is during online purchase at spirit.com $30 for 1st bag... it’s more purchasing it online after and even more at check in and way more at the gate!

[@Wolfgodmak]

So basically Spirit is highend and stuckup airlines? Next time imma push for Southwest or Jetblue, maybe even United lmao

[@annabeluwaemenyi5890]

Your tips are nice. Imela.

[@RoxCity]

Thanks!

[@harrw3168]

Flying with any airline has become extremely stressful for the average traveler: TSA, waiting, changing the boarding gate more than once, delays, etc. why would I have to put up with an Airline that is just there to gauge my wallet? Sorry, I don't make enough money, but I need to have my nerves intact when I travel via an airline, and SPIRIT is most def. not the airline of my choice.

[@ew4096]

10/20/2018 I bought two tickets for my son and girlfriend on ChepOAir web site. After I finished paying and getting a confirmation, I got a phone call from CheoPAir web site. Sir, you just bought two tickets, but you did not choose a seat. Yeah, because I was being charged an additional $32.00 per seat. When I purchase a ticket I assume it comes with an airline seat. Yes sir it does, but you need to choose the seat for $32.00. After many expletives from me, I told them where to go and to just choose any seats. What a fucking nerve to charge for choosing a seat in the economy section for which I already purchased a ticket.

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile... These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon. Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees. Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers. Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape. You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle. Learn Half Windsor knot tying: It is the 2nd example in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmHcmWiogKdsoqc This knot does not loosen. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie. Example: “Owner 454-333-7878” No personal name necessary. No address necessary on the ribbon. Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color. Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece. Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case. If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible. Pleasant color combinations: Red, white and blue Chartreuse and purple and orange Orange and light blue Orange and yellow Gray and pink Green and yellow Red and Green Red and Gold Light blue and light green and white The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. You can show this picture to the searcher or attach a picture to your report for lost luggage. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights. Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape... To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape. Tip #4 Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show. Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS 4 ribbons 1 designer ribbon colored taped handle stencil SPRAY PAINT a 2 1/2” stencil letter or number or word or your initials to the suit case exterior surface in addition to using all the other ideas here. Stencil spray paint a letter to the TOP ribbon. Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”. Put a travel sticker on the case. Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN Scales accuracy varies at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE It is less than $15. Tip #7 GPS TRACKING DEVICE Duct tape to an inside pocket a GSM GPS Tracking device. Find them on Ebay. Your iphone can tell you where your luggage is. Is it in another city? kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3vOhoaEfqemhpI ...

[@cec_washere3749]

I'm going through it now I literally cried...my boyfriend surprised me with tickets to Denver but now I know I had to double ke check it was correct..and well it wasn't now I'm stuck and keep dishing money out

[@RoxCity]

Aww sorry to hear that!

[@williamdixon1992]

This scares the crap out of me. No thanks. I will fly on American! An extra 40 bucks and no hassle. Who can't afford that?

[@RoxCity]

Ha ha i hear ya tho it wasn’t that bad!

[@marinmarinhola]

Lucky you. The difference between Spirit and American/Avianca was like $170 per ticket for me, for 4 tickets. It's just something that couldn't be beat.

[@MeOw-cf5gi]

My flight with spirit had $200 different one ticket round trip I CAN afford it, but why pay more

[@RoxCity]

I noticed American has recently joined this low frills personal item train- economy fare I think it’s called and they are brutal with their standards ! They charged me $50 when my tiny cross body bag wouldn’t fit in my personal item...

[@teddypgray]
