I have never flown spirit, but frontier is basically my main airline now. In the past, the prices have been very low and enticing although as of recent, this company has been having greed take over. They entice you with s cheap airfare cost yet they charge you $60 per checked bag (used to be $30)... They also dropped the baggage max weight from 50 to 40 pounds. If you end up between 41 and 50 pounds, it's another $50/$60. Also if you book a flight with a significant other and don't pay $30 per seat to choose them, they will purposely separate you as punishment for not paying for your seats. When added up, then end up being close to a ticket with United Airlines.
Every day but Friday and Sunday would be a better way to word
they're both in the same 'as barebones as it gets' / 'basically a flying bus' tier. if you just want to get from point A to point B with a small backpack and no checked luggage, it will do the job.

there are no amenities whatsoever in the flight (no screens, no chargers, no included drinks or snacks - you have to pay extra, no reclining seats), and the seats are even more cramped than usual. and they'll nickel and dime you for everything, so better make sure you don't go over the carry-on size.

as long as you know what you are signing up for, they both offer some extremely cheap flights at times

Quote from BinaryCanary :
For Spirit, if you go through the online booking process, at some point before you actually pay for the ticket you can look at the breakdown of fees. The passenger usage fee is what is not charged if you book at the airport. This will help you compare Spirit 'savings at the airport' to other airlines.

International is a whole different ballgame, because now the point of sale (POS) comes into play. Purchasing the same exact flights at the counter in India vs at a counter in the US can yield different fares.
I didn't mean non-US airport counter. I just mentioned that someone received lower quote to purchase an India segment. Might be any segment for any date. Anyone tried?

could someone explain to me this counter buying strategy? I can't in my wildest dreams imagine just showing up to LAX (which is a massive undertaking in and of itself) without a ticket already purchased, and just hoping to buy one at the counter and not get my ass handed to me with the most expensive ticket ever sold. So then I'd just go home? What, do people just have all this time on their hands to MAYBE take a flight somewhere? I'm confused...
learn reading comprehension. Only "advance tickets from anywhere to any destination" are discussed, never a prompt boarding segment

Basically, the airport agent books it for you. You do as far in advance at the flight as possible. You don't show up on the day of. The pricing at the ticket counter excludes the carrier interface charge / passenger usage fee. On many tickets, that can be about $20 to $40 worth of savings per passenger. Once you have the reservation booked, you can then go online and buy the add-ons that you need, if you don't like the airport pricing for any of the ancillaries. It's a cool deal.

You do have to make a special trip to the airport to get this pricing (and maybe pay for a short parking space), but you can understand how much you'll be paying by just paying attention to the fee breakdown on the carriers website. You can just remove the fee that I mentioned above, and then it'll help you calculate the actual price that you'll pay at the ticket counter. Be aware that some airports only have specific hours for ticket sales at the counter, too.
1. Your insistence that you'll guess the exact amount of savings by eyeballing on-line breakdown is mis-guided
2. Question remains: has anyone tried airport counters of other airlines, incl international segments?

I assume it is people already on travel. They are already at the airport so they might as well as purchase tickets for the next trip. Also, Frontier services some smaller airports such as Ontario or Reno. It would be very simple to purchase tickets at the counter if you happen to be in the area. Nearly all are not buying a ticket for same day travel.

Be aware Frontier sucks. You do not want to take longer than a 3 hour flight with them.

Thanks for this response. That makes more sense, though I would NEVER EVER EVER make a trip to LAX just to hope to buy a cheaper ticket. Would never be worth the drive and parking and stress. But I can see hopping by while I'm already there for another flight. That makes more sense to me. Thanks!

Yeah it works for me because DTW is on the way to and from work- I have to pay to park, but $4 parking to save $22.99/person/way is worth it sometimes.

I don't know why folks are guessing the PUF as "thirty to forty dollars off." They're published online, and Spirit's and Frontier's are the same. Any other difference when booking at the airport is probably a "normal" price fluxuation. The amount I have been discounted has always been exactly the online fare, less the PUF.

basically off-topic, cuz main interest should be SAVINGS at the advance counter vs. on-line "sales". I've cut fares easily in half by avoiding on-line purchase
i would like to know about his bad experience that made them feel this way, thats not off topic, same way if someone finds a television on slick deals and its a trash brand and everyone states why it may be a good deal but its a horrible tv and not worth the price. smh

We fly out Saturday night because of time changes between Ohio and California...it's always made it easier to recover from jet lag.

Worked for me from Omaha to Orlando. Although it seemed pretty cheap to begin with. Good excuse to visit parents. Each way was $41.38 so i guess that BOGO is the -$41.38

Airfare $79.88
Total Discounts -$41.38
Taxes and Carrier-Imposed Fees $78.08
Grand Total $116.58

hey, read the thread before you post mis-information. I had Spirit knock $30 off, while Frontier knocked $50 off. Before approaching their counters, I found the lowest date for both on-line, at $80. Paid only $30 at Frontier counter

qualitative narrations are subjective. Dollars'n'cents are objective
