Spirit is great for its intended purpose: getting from A to B as cheaply as possible. If you book a Spirit/Frontier/Allegiant flight and expect Emirates service, you're going to be disappointed. If you absolutely need to get from Boston to Miami on two days notice with no baggage and can't afford a $2500 last minute base fare on American, Spirit can get you there for $250. It won't be particularly comfortable, but it's cheap and available.
Yepp .. they have delivered what they promised at the price that is affordable .. not sure why people complain so much
It’s an airborne prison, without the joys of solitary confinement.
Imagine a southwest airlines flight, now take away 2 inches in both directions, charge for checked and carry on luggage, charge for all inflight service and make sure your flight attendants are total a-holes to everyone.
One and done! They take cheap to a whole new level.
It’s a like riding the bus.
The seats quite literally have no back. They’re hallow and paper thin. The flight attendants are so rude. They yell at you for no reason. The no carry on rule is extremely limiting. Spirit also seems to attract a certain type of passenger. While I appreciate that they’ve made travel more accessible for folks, there is evidently little travel etiquette from other passengers that fly Spirit, making the overall experience garbage.
Spot on accurate
Ok but why? Not that I doubt it but I’m curious what exactly makes it so bad.
They don’t pay for dedicated gates so they have 3-4 flights leaving from the same gate making it a cluster at the gate, and so the take off time is more a suggestion than anything resulting in progressive delays … their spacing is poor, I’ve found vomit in my seat before
Less room/space from my experience, but otherwise, I don't know.
