It’s been a while since I’ve last flown Spirit Airlines, so finding myself in south Florida with a need to fly back home to San Diego was the perfect excuse to reacquaint myself with those obnoxiously-awesome yellow airplanes. Not that I was particularly looking forward to it - but I was curious to see if their Big Front Seat was as still as good of a value as it was several years ago (the last time I tried one).
This is footage from Spirit Airlines flight number 619 from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to San Diego (SAN) with a brief stop in Houston (IAH). I was seated in 2A for both legs of this 5 hour journey, and the aircraft registration was N684NK.

I flew Spirit for the first time last week in an economy seat from LAS to IAH. I didn't have an issue with the flight at all. Who cares if the seats are cramped when I'm paying at $60 for plane ticket halfway across the country.

[@SpotTugBoat7057]

Same I didn’t experience anything bad and for some reason... Didn’t feel Hungry

[@ReinSouls]

I think Spirit gets a worse rep than it deserves. It is the bottom of the barrel bare bones carrier. People see "oh hey cheap flight!" Then expect the service of a brand carrier like United or American, which you're simply not going to get. So they will proceed to whine how bad it sucks. If you go in knowing full well what you're going to get it's really not that bad.

[@chickenofthecave1406]

lenoat702 spent $90 for a flight from LA to JFK that I booked the day before the flight on Spirit. Yeah, I don’t really care if I have to stand the whole flight. $90 is 100% worth it for going literally across the country. When I did the same thing with American the week before Christmas is was $800

I actually loved the gray Spirit livery more than the yellow, as well as the brief appearance of that retro-looking Jet Blue plane. I'd add the $11 onto the $297 calling it a $308 ticket (itin), but that's me.

[@sanspotter]

Good point John! $308 for a transcon Big Front Seat is still a pretty good deal IMHO. And yeah - I much prefer the old silver “pixel” livery as well!

[@johnsymons76]

Great review! I have learned to take my own food on board. I either make it myself or purchase it at a supermarket and put it in my carry-on cooler bag. I have learned to pack extra so that I can share it with my seatmate if they start drooling all over the armrest! I admit that I feel guilty eating next to someone on a long flight if they don't have anything to eat. Yes, it's weird but that's just me! Thanks for your review and wishing you blue skies and smooth flights.

Its actually seat 1f which is the window seat. and some flight attendants will stop you if they see you charging your electronics. However just put your bags there after take off and keep it hidden and no worries 😀

[@KaWiReloaded]

I have severe neuropathy and can’t afford 1st class. I visit my family in Puerto Rico at least twice a year. These big front seats are a life saver, they allow me to travel with minimal pain. I can fly in the big front seat from FL to PR for about $99 each way which is a steal (seat price included, ticket was $49 and seat was $50).

[@gwynn1983]

Very entertaining as usual. Thanks for posting. My dad flew SAN-FLL via BWI on Southwest recently because he forgot JetBlue had a nonstop.

[@sanspotter]

Thanks James! Yeah, I’ve done that nonstop FLL-SAN flight on JetBlue before, so I’d figure I take a gamble on Spirit. 😆

[@landrywatson4136]

I've flown spirit twice. First time was DFW to Denver and had no problems at all other than noisy passengers. The second time was DFW-ORD and back and both of those flights were delayed, but it wasn't a huge deal. As long as you know what everything cost ahead of time there shouldn't be any surprises. And make sure to check-in on their phone app so you don't have to pay at the counter. I think I'm going to test out the Big Front Seat on my upcoming trip to Cancun. Wish me luck!

Hi Scott! Another great and enjoyable video as always :) Was always curious about Spirit’s Big Front Seat. It sure beats those small and tight regular economy seats! Was at least expecting a free drink or something, but otoh it is understandable coming from a LCC :) Always love the approach into San Diego, right past downtown. Lovely! Regards, Brendan

[@scientistforscience]

I just tried the big front seat cross country and loved it. It was very comfy and just steps away from the bathroom. I enjoyed the 2nd row maybe a bit more cause I could put my foot up wedged between the window and the seat in front of me.

Thanks bro. Thanks for not condemning "our" hometown (FLL) airline Spirit. Actually, funny, I am a locomotive engineer for TriRail that you took from MIA to FLL. Thanks for trying us, as you are right, it's a steal and it works! We haul a ton of flight crews for both MIA and FLL and they also, LOVE US! It's just easy and we run pretty much on-time. As for your experience with Spirit, I'm glad you flew with them in the Big Seats. I do as well. That airline has come a long way from their early days, but heck, the Big Seats are kinda a steal as well. All airlines have their horror stories, but if you know how to fly Spirit and aren't expecting Emirates First Class service, they work. My advice is always either bring your own food onboard or grab an overpriced sandwich for the haul. Once again, Thanks for riding TriRail and maybe we'll see you on another one of our "not so luxurious" commuter trains! LOL. Safe travels my friend. JB/ Miami FL

[@camtwan1]

Bro you spent $15 on that seat upgrade. It’s wider and more leg room, you’ve got all you paid for.

[@daledonaldson4122]

The big front seat upgrade is way more than $15. It varies depending on the length of the flight. For flights over 2 hours it’s $50, so he spent a total of $100 for that seat.

Great video dude! You remembered me my “long” flight from FLL to Lima, Peru last year in the same seat. I got used to fly on wide size aircrafts to Chile or Peru from USA, but this time I flew for the first time on Spirit I was rarely scary to flying on a 320 long flight crossing the equator to South America, out of nowhere that flight was one the best quite and relaxing fly in my entire life.

As long as the airline gets me to where I need to be by when I need to be there is how I judge them. No the seats don’t recline, but a few inches doesn’t matter.

[@rayrobinson5601]

Agreed. If you read their website they tell you their seats don't recline and they tell you its going to be crowded. Love Spirit as I flew 100,000 miles a year and got tired of the so-called food and good service. A number of months ago Spirit hired the Disney Company to help them with their customer service and you will see a definite difference.

I’m flying spirit for the first time soon. I got a big front seat because I need the extra room. It was the least expensive option all around for getting a flight with a big enough seat and is the only airline with a nonstop flight to where I’m going so I’d say I’m satisfied and I don’t expect anything lavishing. It’s just traveling it doesn’t have to be lavishing.

Upgraded to the big seats a few years ago on flight from Tampa to Los Angeles with a stop in Dallas I believe. I think it was something like $100 more total onto the ticket price. Absolutely worth it. Tons of room and big comfy seat. I only flew them this one time so I won't toot their horn too much but all my flights were on time and I had no issues. It seemed like most of the complaining I heard at the gate were in regards to bags and costs. But honestly these are things you should be well aware of before booking a flight on any airline.

As a light traveler, I only carry one computer bag. The front big seat is always my first choice. You get first class experience and the drink is very cheap to buy in-flight. You just don't get special treatment like welcome drink, meal service, or priority boarding. Spirit airline's Airbus fleet is very young so safety shouldn't be your concern. When our flight was delayed for 14 hours, Spirit did not cancel on us, instead they sent us an empty Airbus with 5 passengers only. We had the entire flight to us and the flight attendant offers us free drink and food. The flight attendant was dancing and it was one of my best Spirit flight ever.

You did not show us the library. How was it? Could I read the Aug 1976 back issue of Aviation Week and read about the defection of Soviet Air Force pilot Victor Belenko in his MiG-25 to Japan? If they don't have it, do you think they'd use the Inter-Library Loan Program to get it to me? And .... Would I have to fly back to FLL to return it?

Dammit! I was really proud of myself for putting together what I thought was a very thorough video review, but… It appears that I have massively dropped the ball here. 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

@@sanspotter When you go to the library ask the librarian to look up NAPB90 and count the minutes before security shows up asking questions. Then after you drop my name, and show them this post, I'll do a review of how they treated me next time I fly. :)

I didn't know that Maynard James Keenan likes reviewing airlines now. 😁

Awesome Trip Report mate! I never thought that you'd enjoy Spirit like this especially with a lot of bad reviews but I do have family members who actually say that Spirit is a good low cost airline. They also say just like you that Spirit is certainly better than Rouge. So once again the report was very enjoyable and also do you mind if you can help my channel a bit as my trip reports of gotten a bit lower views. I wish I could be a Patreon but unfortunately I really don't have much to donate.

Thanks! Spirt isn’t so bad - most of the people who complain aren’t aware of all the extra fees, but as long as you’re aware, it’s usually a decent experience. Anyway, keep working on your channel! It takes time to grow, but if you create helpful/entertaining content it’s going to happen a lot faster than you think. 😉

@@sanspotter Thanks for the tip 😃

Hi Scott.... Nice Trip Report. I like the seat but not really sure about the food. 😁

[@sanspotter]

Haha, thanks Franklin! You pretty much summed up the entire Spirt Airlines Big Front Seat experience in one short sentence. 😆👍🏻

DFW to Chicago O'Hare is always great on Spirit!!! I Love Spirit!! But that is the only place I have ever been on Spirit!! The Return flight is as equally nice
