Thank you so much for this video! I have only flown once with JetBlue but they’re expensive this time for our trip to Disney this year. I just booked Southwest for August from NY to Orlando!

This is so helpful! Thank you for answering my question! You are amazing !! I feel better about flying spirit now. Prayers everything goes okay for us in May!

We use to fly Southwest but now they don’t offer nonstop very often to Orlando, plus hubby would rather pick his seat in advance. We’ve been flying JetBlue lately because they seem to have bigger seats.

@alissat.4363 4 ай бұрын

✈️ Southwest tip: if you have older kids who no longer qualify for pre boarding, set an alarm to check in as soon as it’s available (24 hours before the flight). You’ll usually get the “A” or start of the “B” boarding group. There will still be plenty of seats together, in the middle or towards the back of the plane. Or just buy the early bird thing so you know you’ll be in the A group.

I really like Jet Blue because I can choose my seat and have early boarding as a senior with disability . But this last September I had to fly home from Florida on emergency. Southwest had a seat for me took good care of my needs and even though I had to make a transfer it was smooth and easy. I didn’t have a second bag and Southwest let me give them my Disney goodies jam packed backpack . Enjoyed your vlog

✈ We love Southwest. In fact we drive the 1 hour and 45 minute drive to Nashville or the 2 hour drive to Birmingham just so we can fly southwest. Our closest airport (an hour away) doesn't fly southwest but we usually get really good deals on southwest to make the 2 hour drive worth it.

@emileeziorgen6113 4 ай бұрын

🛫 loved this video! We are a Spirit flying family too but I’ve always bought seats because I’ve been afraid I’d be separated from the kids! (We don’t share the same last name) fingers crossed they keep us together for our April flight because it’s the first time I haven’t purchased our seats!

Thank you for the I’m from the uk but we are flying to Chicago for 4 nights then an internal flight down to Orlando (not booked yet) so we do a cruise then onto WDW . I’ve never heard of southwest but just priced up as we have plenty of luggage and they work out $ 10 more than frontier . I can pack all I want and not worry about. Such a relief 😊😊

@allaboutthemagic9617 5 ай бұрын

I hate that Frontier has gotten so bad. I’ve been flying with them since 2017 and used to rave about them and it’s like in the past year and a half they have just become so Nickel and dime and crazy about the bags and seats. The gate agents are so rude too now! My husband and I never used to get separated and now it’s every time. I wish we could take southwest more but they don’t have many non-stops from our area.

This video was super helpful and put me at ease regarding my upcoming flight with Spirit. I decided to not purchase seats to save a little money so glad to hear they are accommodating when traveling solo with a young child. I am going to he doing a checked bag. Have you ever had any problems with your luggage getting lost with Spirit?

So we book on spirit and then next day the flight went in half. I message spirit and haven’t heard back yet. But we fly spirit all the time. On flight in May just got moved from 10am flight to a 5am flight so now we will be at Disney at 9:30am. Going to use the day for rest and swim u til our room is ready. Thank you for all the wonderful videos. Love yours videos

Regarding Southwest... they don't allow their tickets to be sold on any third party websites, which is probably why Hopper can't track them. You have to buy tickets from them directly or you don't get them at all. It's a thing they do that other American-based airlines really don't, which is my only concern when I'm shopping and wanting to compare prices. ✈️

When I go to use that, do you know how I book it? We paid cash and they said it would be under our current confirmation number.😵 Not sure how to do that. Thanks for this video.

I’m always tempted to book with southwest but I rather pick my seat before I get there when I’m traveling with my kids just for that peace of mind of them not separating us. You mentioned family boarding for children as long as they are under the age of 6. So they could potentially split you from the kids if I’m traveling as a solo mom with my 7 yr old and 5 yr old? 😧 (bc my daughter is 7) I’ve heard negative things about Spirit, but I’ve always had a good experience with them and United. Great video ☺️

@edakoonaloak7808 5 ай бұрын

So with Southwest they don’t book your seats for you, you get on the plane and find your own seating of your choice. Even if you aren’t utilizing family boarding, you can login 24 hours before your flight, check in to your flight and get a boarding group that allows you on the plane in accordance to your group letter and number. So for example, Ashley mentioned group A and B in the video. Each group has about ~50 I believe numbers in each letter group. So if you login and check in to your flight and get group A25 for example, you board with groups A15-30. This is why checking in exactly 24 hours before your flight is important to get a boarding group early. There’ll still be plenty of seats if you’re boarding group B, but it’ll likely be in the back of the plane. Plus, if there’s only like 2 seats available together, I’m sure a flight attendant can help get you to sit with your children.

So once your kids are older Southwest maybe a problem bc you might not sit together. I don't fly southwest bc of that!

@alissat.4363 4 ай бұрын

I was going to say this too. When you can’t preboard, buying that early bird option makes sure you get into the “A” boarding group so you can find good seats together (towards front with a window for my son). Boarding at C group means you have to take whatever is left.
