A few things to note: People don't understand that when the ticket is cheaper you get less things, so why would you hold it up to the same standard as say, Delta? Also, their pilot pay scale is actually very good, in some cases just a few dollars below legacy carrier /hour. You also can go down to 0 hours per month as a pilot if you want to go on vacation. Airlines like Delta do not allow this.

Swiss you’re so amazinggg! Glad you’ve gained so much experience on YT ❤❤❤

[@piplotfs]

The main problems are that the planes are broken pretty often, and delays. I was heading to my flight on time, when they changed the time early last minute and no notification. I almost missed my flight. I was also supposed to arrive at 10pm, which is already late enough, and was delayed all the way to 2am lol. And the flight was only an hour long. From Vegas to SJC. Literally spent 20 minutes taxiing back and forth and not even lining up. We even tried to avoid the extra bag price by everyone packing everything into backpacks ehehehhehe

What a Great Video! Also a little something real quick. Back in 2021, I was flying to Raleigh from Hartford on a Frontier A320Neo. The flight was really Terrible, but I'd say Spirit is probably better than Frontier. And the only reason that flight in 2021 was terrible was because the seats were probably as small as Spirit's but the legroom felt less than 28 inches tbf. But still, Great Video.

[@michaelbinchy768]

Honestly had a similar experience flying with Pegasus from Athens to Istanbul SAW. I was aware of the bad rep, but they were really accomodating, my mum had a british passport which brought up an error in the system but they helped us get past it. Free wifi on the plane and only a half-hour delay. Only real complaint was the landing was rough enough to make your teeth fall out but, on balance, a much better experience than anticipated

[@janellek21]

I've found Spirit's cabin service to be better than Ryanair or Easyjet, and their inflight product is about the same. What makes me unwilling to ever fly them again, however, is the class of people they attract. Spirit tends to attract passengers who are inconsiderate and disrespectful to other people and don't know how to behave in public. My last flight on Spirit had plenty of these types, and since then my nickname for Spirit Airlines is "Schvartze Airlines."

[@jonathanpusar5931]

You should see the clientele Greyhound attracts…. Go to Port Authority in NYC. You will be scarred for life.

[@mrminerduck6781]

U know that your comment is kinda racist? Just because you see rude People who are black, doesnt mean you have to generalize black people into calling the airline „black airline“ and using the yiddish racial slur word. I mean if it was just „Schwarze Airline“ then Okay. I get the point. You only point out that there are many black people. But with this context and using the Yiddish racial slur combined, only points out how racist you are.

[@jonathanpusar5931]

@@mrminerduck6781 ah I didn’t even see that comment at the end…💀 Besides the dumb racism he’s not wrong: the lack of basic etiquite is absurd. Was on a Spirit flight last night that was stuck on the tarmac for an hour getting to a gate. When we got off, the amount of insane shoving and pushing was absurd. One person literally hit me over a head while I was trying to get a bag and ended up taking someone else’s by accident because it was so chaotic… Plenty of people fly ULCC’s and aren’t complete assholes, but they tend to attract the most inconsiderate people from all creeds.

[@earviation1622]

Disregarding the unnecessary racism, There are many civilized people on spirit. There are many people who just want to save money. Just because people have a lot of money does not mean they want to spend it on a 3x more expensive airplane ticket because it is a bit better quality.

I flew spirit like 5 times trying to go to vegas, 5x the flight experience, 5 x the pain... oh yea and when I stopped in ohare my flight was delayed 8 hours due to a maintenance issue

[@connormarx8207]

I flew spirit from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale with spirit. The worst experience of my life. Me and my mom and my siblings were waiting in the terminal for boarding. And someone comes up to my mom and says you need to shut your kids up. And she started to cry because she’s emotional. She tries to tell the spirit people and the front desk about the man who harassed her. But since she was crying hysterically. They thought she was having a mental meltdown. So we end up boarding the plane and a flight attendant comes up to us and says that our mom was mentally ill and was not safe to fly, which she was fine. And kicked me and my siblings and my mom off the plane. We ended up somehow affording a hotel and getting on the next flight that morning. That flight was much better. On our way back. Our mom was low on medicine that she takes for adhd and depression. And would only have enough to make it home before she would need a refill. When we were boarding. A spirit flight attendant said we need to talk to you. So my mom goes over and they talk to her about how they found beer in her purse. And I got nearly physical because I knew and they knew damn well that was never in there. And she tried to explain to them that she really never did have beer in her purse. And they said according to protocols if another passenger reports that another passenger is in possession of alcohol or drugs, They have to search you. (Have you know we were in the terminal and were pulled from the boarding line). We saw the boarding was nearly over and was going to shut the gate and we said please, we need to get on our flight home. But they wouldn’t let us leave and the flight ended up leaving without us. My mom quickly rounded us up and we went to spirit help center. And some nice man said I’m so sorry and that we will help you. He even gave her a hug. But we waited for 2 hours for him to come out of the back room where all the workers were. But he never came back out. We couldn’t afford a hotel. And since my mom was out of medicine. She gets extremely tired and easily aggravated and sometimes she will be awful to us when she’s out of medicine. Since we couldn’t afford a hotel. We were forced to sleep in the airport on extremely uncomfortable seats. I got so cold that I could barely sleep. I had to call my gramma to see if she could get me money for food. And luckily she could so I was able to eat. I ended up falling asleep and we got up at 5 and headed for the terminal. We got on the plane and this time. We got on uninterrupted. Midway through the flight though. I was reaching for my bag and somehow my finger caught on some lady’s hair and she got super pissed and went and told a flight attendant who was literally the perfect image of a Karen. (Blonde hair in her late 50s early 60s) who moved me next to my mom and told me that if I were to cause any other issues they would land the plane and have me arrested. I was 13 and had bad adhd so I got really upset and started to cry. I am now 15. When the flight attendant left. My mom pulled my hair and said “I swear to god if you f*cking cause another issue” with clenched teeth. Since she was out of medicine she was really aggravated. We ended up landing and we got off the plane and I headed straight with my dad (my parents are divorced) with his family to Savannah Georgia for our spring break trip on his side. I had nightmares for about a month and a half about having to sleep in airports. Im sorry to dump my whole story but would hate to have someone encounter my experience. Thanks a lot spirit. Edit: thank you for reading this. I’m sorry to dump a whole story but I need to make sure people don’t have the experience again. Thanks!

[@jorgehoracio6766]

When I flew spirit from Detroit to Orlando, they charged me $100 for my bag. And my mind was blown. And then they actually said “you should be happy because we could charge you $200.” Then they said “Pay and Fly, or leave.” So then when I got on the plane, the air conditioning was working but then, worst smell that I’ve ever felt in my entire life started coming out of it. Then at mid-flight the plane was shaking. And the landing was absolutely jam.

Spirit is pretty fine. I never check a bag, even for a month trip when I go back from Reno to Vegas at a few college breaks, so I don’t have the extra price there. If I need to go far with a lot of people and usually some bags (mostly school trips and family stuff, then it’s southwest. Spirit uses airbus, similar to alligient, which do not have my favorite seats ever. That’s why my current favorite plane to fly in was the southwest max 8 from Texas to New York. It even beat out the Delta 767, probably because it was 30 years old and loud.

Come to australia and fly virgin it's a good airline since the platinum members get a f*ck ton of perks (aha, i have experienced them all) but it's actually very nice and relatively cheap in comparison to qantas, jetstar and rex, the only other competitors. One thing you could try is their Boeing 737 routes from cairns to tokyo, or sydney to bali. Long haul 737-800... it's alright but there's no meal service or anything
