Flying Spirit Airlines

The point of spirit is to be as cheap as possible. So look up the baggage restrictions and stick to them. I have what is essentially a suitcase but its a backpack, and it works within their limitations and I fit most stuff I need for short trips.

If you have no connections, and you pack properly, no upgrades are necessary and you'll be fine.

i flew with them somewhat recently on a short triip from NOLA to Orlando and thought the $50 upgrade on that route for the "big seat" was well worth it.

Flown Spirit and it's definitely no frills, but it gets you from A to B safely. If it meant saving a lot of money, I would fly with them again.

I normal fly with them 4x a year, but alone.
Just always shortest time for my trip.
I get the "package upgrade for seat, 1 carry and 1check..
Never had a issue with delays or cancelations.

Fly AA last year, what a nightmare thru Miami.

Pay extra for the exit row or front seat. You can bid for the upgrade.
Bring your own entertainment and buy snacks at the airport.
I fly spirit a lot.

Totally fine for short flights.

I live in Los Angeles and take 24 hour trips to Vegas every now and then and will often catch a spirit flight thats less than $30 one way.

Big Front Seat.

People act like Spirit is going to kill them when all major carriers now offer deals like Spirit. If you understand the pricing going in and know if their is a delay you are SOL then you will be fine.

I used to fly Spirit all the time when they offered $35-60 RT flights out of MSY to various cities in the South.

I have an opportunity to fly into Orlando this fall on Spirit Airlines with the wife (no pics) for a reunion. Other option is American Airlines into Tampa (equidistant to our destination), which generally offers nonstops and with how we travel (want assigned seats usually, at least carry-ons, sometimes a check in), the cost for 2 is around $742.

So, I get Spirit is no frills and charges for a variety of selections. They'd offer non stops into Orlando. Having priced it out full, but do you think we'd ultimately save much money? Worth the review? We've never flown Spirit. Thanks.

Spirit has no means to reroute you if they cancel a flight. I flew Spirit weekly for years and always floated a backup Southwest flight. Don’t cancel that backup until the wheels are rolling.
