Ever Flown Spirit Airlines?

Just booked a flight to Denver. All the tickets for the dates I was looking for were $500+ but noticed flying out of Myrtle Beach's airport for the same dates were $288 so I booked it. It just seemed too good to pass up but I've never flown out of that airport or with thus airline.

The name sounds ominous. Tell me it's like Southwest or something lol


RIP OP

Thy are fine from a safety standpoint. They will rape you on upcharges if you allow it. Go bare bones. Probably won't be the most comfortable seat you've ever had. Phone Post 3.0

Spirit is notorious for being shitty. 40 lb checked bag, 25 bucks per carry on. The free size bag is next to nothing. I would honestly only use them if I was going somewhere for a day or two and could get away with a backpack. Phone Post 3.0

People choose them bc they are usually cheaper on tickets.....but there are reasons why. Phone Post 3.0

No worries on comfort, I don't expect any good seats in coach anyway. Booze on the way there, Colorado's finest for the way back, so I'll be fine h

My advice is just make sure you research what you can bring for luggage and pay in advance for it. Abide by their rules or they'll fuck you good Phone Post 3.0

I would not fly with them again.

I go southwest always when possible Phone Post 3.0

Fuck Spirit. I flew them once because cheaper than Southwest, to Vegas. But after bag fees etc they were more expensive

And we got delayed 1 hr both ways

Never again. Fly Southwest Phone Post 3.0

Once. Never again. Phone Post 3.0

This.

You pay for everything. You have to pay for your seat in addition to buying a ticket. And for your luggage. And your carry on bag. And if you want anything to drink.

The flight attendants are rude

And it's ghetto as fuck.

If you want the experience of going to a movie in a shitty black neighborhood, except you are in an airplane instead of a theater, by all means fly Spirit.

You end up paying the same as Delta or anyone else because they charge you for everything. Pick your seat? 25 bucks.... Carryon? 25 bucks... Two bags? 50 bucks... Multiply this twice for there and back trips and it's pretty much the same as a bigger name company. Phone Post 3.0

Horrible seats. Cheaper flights but they will charge you for luggage and carry on. It's best if you are literally going somewhere that all u need to take with you is a backpack. Phone Post 3.0

Well shit, my ticket doesn't include a seat? Wtf lol

I've made a huge mistake

You will end up paying 500. They are the worst airline ever. 

Seat only matters if you want to be somewhere specific or next to somebody. Phone Post 3.0

I remember flying Spirit about 10-15 years ago and they must've been new because I remember two particular instances that have never been repeated. First, I got on the flight and the attendant handed everyone a gift/paper bag. Inside was a sandwich, cheese, crackers, cookies, and some other snacks. Then, the next time I flew them, on the return flight, we were delayed at the airport for about an hour or two. Nothing crazy or out of the ordinary and I didn't really care as I was just hanging out at the airport. When landed they handed everyone a voucher for a free ticket the next time we flew (up to $400 I believe, but at the time that was more than enough). Phone Post 3.0

Got to buy your ticket and purchase baggage fees ahead of your flight otherwise you pay more.
As someone else mentioned its Good if you're packing light. So basically you cant take your girl on a spirit airline to go on vacation. I took it to go watch the jiu jitsu worlds and it was fine.
At least they keep the livestock at the bottom of the plane. Phone Post 3.0
