My two cents. Booked my family of 4 on spirit to Cancun last week. Flight was cancelled the night before. No explanation whatsoever. Next flight out with them was fully booked too, so we had to pay $$$ to book with another carrier same day. Still haven't even gotten our refunds yet.

Spirit is great when everything goes right. But when things go wrong as they inevitably do, you're farked.
next time just add the bag via the app. you can do that last minute, even once you've already checked in. it's cheaper.
Looks like Frontier in Atlanta is also matching some of the dates in addition to going beyond March 6.

Also Pro Tip: If you're able to purchase Spirit or Frontier tickets at the airport they will waive the online Passenger Usage Fee. It can vary per flight but it's usually $22 each ticket and per segment/layover.

So for example I had a flight from Atlanta to Seattle for $74. There was a layover in Las Vegas so that took an additional $22 off on top of the standard airport discount. In total I paid about $60 roundtrip.

You apparently have trouble with reading comprehension and acting civil. I said non-refundable all inclusive/cruise not plane tickets. The plane ticket cost is the least of your worries with the airlines in question.
You hurl insults then use the term "civil". That is the apex of hypocrisy. What is a discounted plane ticket? That was the term you used. You have no clue what you're talking about and your advice is bizarre.

It's called sinking to your level since you snidely said "are you the same person that said X" and then pull a word out of context to criticize my point. Either you can't take the time to read and understand or you're trying to win an argument based on misquoting/taking out of context what I've said.

As for this post, I said DISCOUNT as in DISCOUNT CARRIER not discounted. You want to argue the semantics of posts that you misquote because you disagree with my advice but don't have a real argument to make or can't be bothered to read and understand my points apparently.

It's not semantics when the quote is accurate. When I told you I worked for an airline for 27 years, this should have been over, but you had to quintuple down on your lunacy. You told people to have a back up plan for flights by spending more money on a website known exclusively for trying to save or spend less. And you believe it's sound advice. Trying to convince someone who has no clue what they're talking about was my error.

Spirit Airlines is also in financial troubles of recent after a failed merger with Jet Blue.

Also note that on Spirit Airlines, you may be subject to delays, cancellations with little to no notice, and possibly stuck at an airport terminal for excess of 12+ hours with no recourse, and no spirit employees around. You may also experience wait times on the phone of over 4 hours to figure out where your plane is, and then end up losing your mind and sanity.

Actually had a Cavalier, think it was a 2002. Wasn't that bad of a car for that time period, but you have to realize it's a low cost, basic transportation vehicle. Was actually a big upgrade from the junker I was driving before that.

The first quote was accurate when you actually quoted me, but your interpretation of it was wrong, just like your interpretation of nearly everything I've said. Then you did misquote me by saying DISCOUNTED when I said DISCOUNT And other than possibly trip insurance, none of what I said REQUIRED them to spend more money. You keep ballyhooing about refundable airfares or buying a more expensive fare neither of which I actually talked about.

Plenty of people work in industries who aren't actually that qualified to talk about them. Frankly though, it makes perfect sense you worked in the airline industry, you're equally as useful and perceptive as the vast majority of airline employees I've dealt with in customer service.

Return fares are more than triple the cost of going there.

I feel like with Spirit there are so many catches, like gate time carry on cost of $100 one way because you forgot to prepay.

And maybe your knees are too far from each other so you pay $20 more in knee fees for each inches wider than 18" while sitting.

How about oxygen fee taking extra breaths during the flight than the avg person should.

Or $15/hour of flight for using armrest?

Or $10 fee for being among the first 70% of people getting on the plane

Or $150 seat fee to sit next to your children?

Where is Biden, he was supposed to fight the ludacris hotels and airline fees. Just tried to book a hotel that had $52 "amenity fee" which isn't even in Vegas. And $65 parking fee per night for hotel guests (not even in NY)

Quote from Raphy :
Cheap flight to go to Mexico to get robbed and shot

Fact check. One is much more likely to get robbed and/or shot in the majority of major US cities than in the Cancun area. We go once or twice per year to Playa del Carmen, no issues as long as you don't act like a fool.

I can't do spirit anymore..flown maybe 4x with them and all but 1 I had major issues with. That last trip they took us to ft Myers because allegedly the Orlando airport was closed due to storms.. my mom was waiting for us to pick us up...she said planes were landing without issue and it was barely raining. There was little communication as to how we were to get to Orlando. My parents had to drive over to get us..super painful. Will never fly again...I don't care how cheap. It's not worth the headaches.

Cost savings aside, there many otehr upsides to flying Spirit. A virtual certainty to see a brawl at the gate! It's always better to fly with people who have never been in an airport before! Sitting in an essential folding chair for 4 hours with a crying child even two rows is awesome! You might even catch someone attack a flight attendant!
