America's Most Controversial Airline - SPIRIT AIRLINES Trip Report (The Ones:EP3)

[@le_great_escape]

Ouch! That cancellation sounds like a headache. I only flew Spirit once when I did RDU-BOS-RDU in Jan 2020 (right before the pandemic hit) since I did a weekend trip and the flight was $99 round trip. It wasn’t bad since the flight was only like 2 hours but I haven’t flown them since then because I haven’t found a deal as sweet as that one

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

The deals are hard to pass up. I flew Oakland to Los Angeles for $38 round trip once with Spirit. Just depends if the deals are worth the risk. The shorter flights do seem to have less issues for sure, though.

I only book deals when I have no checked baggage

[@crazyone61]

I've always had good luck with Spirit, (I probably just jinx myself). going cross country, I always get the big front seat and never check a bag, I only bring carry on bags.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Dude can I borrow some of that luck 🤣 I’ve only had about 2 normal flights with them and 10s of cancellations, delays, lost bags, no refunds….. I’m jealous

[@nonstops_aviation]

0:53 Even Spirit knows Colombia is the best latin country so thats why they gave them a dedicated check in area

I'm really not a fan of the LCC model. I would gladly pay more to go on a legacy.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Definitely a more enjoyable experience. Just depends on how important the cost is to you. For some people, having the cheapest fare trumps all else

[@caaaleb1670]

when did you get your bags back? this past summer a friend of mine took southwest and they forgot his bags in Houston while he went home to tampa LOL

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

This trip actually only took me about 30 mins to get my bags. However…… this year I had a total of 4 flights booked on spirit and 3 of them were cancelled, so “technically” no wait for the bags on arrival (considering we never arrived 🤣)

"nothing says Florida quite like Burger King having the longest line of all" #smh + the 'bashing of the seat' 👌
