On Spirit.. unless its the new economy+ seat option, in my experience someone will always attempt to sit in the seats you've purchased. And of course its the worst kind of people too 💩
Hey Jeb! I’m curious, what are your thoughts on the new Delta cabin they announced a few days ago? I’m very excited. I would LOVE to see you do a review of the first flight of it on the 757-200 later this year. Great video! Keep Climbing! ❤️
For several years, I had premium/first class status on Alaska/Horizon, which granted me access to the lounges. 99% of the time I flew between Boise, Seattle, and Portland, OR. Boise didn't have a lounge, but that was fine. I left at 7:00 a.m. I would fly into Seattle, check into the lounge, grab a bit of brunch, check my email, then board the air shuttle to PDX. I would stop in at that lounge, once again check my email (this was all business travel) and maybe grab a pastry as I headed for the gate. On the way home on the same day, everything in reverse, only going home, adult beverages were involved. Then one day, I had to travel to EWR (Newark, NJ). I had a couple of hours to kill before my ride picked me up (I was on a redeye between the west and east coast of the U.S.). So I went into the lounge and was stunned! They had showers, beds, food, drink, everything! In hindsight, now that I know more, I should have grabbed a shower and a nap in one of the small cot rooms. Instead, I imbibed because my doctoral classes didn't start until the next morning, and I wasn't driving.
Great vlog as always! The U.S has been a graveyard for airplanes since the dereg act from 1979. I love old aircraft so I do not mind. 727 flying until 2005. DC-9 until past 2010. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Spot on about the Delta LAX-JFK experience. The service and amenities are top notch as always, but the interior of their 763 D1 product would benefit from a refresh. Especially on such a premium route.
That was a nice walkthrough on the difference. Business class is definitely not worth it unless your employer is buying. Even if you had the means to pay for it and wanted luxury for money, it would be cheaper to fly Spirit + have dinner at the nicest Steakhouse in Beverly Hills + sleep a night at the most luxurious hotel in LA than to buy that Delta One ticket. Delta also needs more of a push to clear out those crumbling 767-300 cabins. They're my favorite US airline, but for that journey I'd probably pick United or JetBlue over them, just because the hard product is so bad.
I flew Spirit from Hartford to Orlando and back and I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't bad. Be prepared for lack of wifi and expensive snacks but if you prepare for it before hand, you won't notice. Sure the seats are a bit cramped and stuff but, having flown all over the world on a dozen different airlines, it's really not as bad as people say. Spirit isn't some first class airline, but as long as you're prepared for it, you'll save some money and it's not a bad trip. Also, I'm sure I'm one of a very small few, but an upset baby has never bothered me. The pressurization I'm sure is uncomfortable for them and I'm sure their parents are frazzled
Well done seeing a comparison like this. That looks like the same Delta cabin I flew 9 years ago. I travel alone and dislike sitting 3 across so I’d likely spend more than on Spirit Airlines.
Agree, most expensive definitely not worth 50 times the cheapest. Spirit seat looked very cramped but then difficult to argue with a $59 ticket. Delta Business seat/experience was good but $3K is an absurd price.
I've never flown with Spirit (not a US resident) but it didn't look too bad for the price in this video. My worst short-haul experience must have been with Sterling Airlines just a few months before they ceased operations.
Jeb: "Lets see what its like to fly on the worlds cheapest seat!" Me: *always buys cheapest seat cause im broke* "Oh boy! I can't wait to see what Jeb thinks about it! :D"
Flew to LAX from BWI two weeks ago on SW. Brought a Philly cheesesteak and a 1.5L Nalgene with ice from home to fill on the other side of TSA with my favorite flavor mix. Yeah, didn't want to spend $12 for Chick fil a sandwich.
I don't know...5-ish hours of comfort and amenities versus having that extra $2000 to spend at my destination. Luckily there are options somewhere in the middle!
First impressions after watching the video. Let’s talk about the most expensive flight. I think I will have to agree with your assessment that it’s just not worth the $3000 price tag. Yes, the lounge looked amazing. And you had the food and the restaurant. I would definitely take advantage of that lounge in the restaurant. Probably go with the cheeseburger myself lol But I’d have to get regular Coke. Other than that once you get on the plane, it just doesn’t look any different than any other business class or whatever. You can pay a lot less price and get even a better amenity kit than what you guys got. As far as the seats pulled into a bed probably would fit me fine. I just don’t think it was worth the money even with that. Awesome lounge and restaurant. The food on the plane looked good. I liked her meal probably better. And if they would’ve had cheesecake for dessert, probably would’ve gone for that. I wouldn’t have done the salad because that’s just way too healthy. Lol. If it’s not clogging my arteries up or making my sugar, shoot to the roof then I’m probably not interested. Lol On the subject cheapest flight. Well the biggest turn off for me was the screaming kids in the background. That would’ve killed my drums. The food on the cheaper flight looks OK. Although the prices on the Pringles and the Coke were ridiculous. I think the cheapest I’ve seen a can of Coke. These days is two dollars. But paying almost 5 dollars for a can of Coke is way too much. Unfortunately, the price on the Pringles are pretty average. No matter where you go as far as getting them. Yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever fly spirit air. All the videos and things I’ve read about them. It’s just not impressing or inspiring me to even give them a shot. And your experience in these cheap seats. Exactly why I will never fly economy. I generally fly business class Great video. I appreciate it. Keep up the great work.
Call me old fashioned but for $3000 I could get soooooo many more trips and if I prefer to ‘upgrade’ I can book the front seats on spirit and spend a couple hundred bucks for food or lounge access. Unless I probably had $10 mil in the bank 😂. Sorry I am so frugal. Its ok to indulge though!
I think it is alot about the fine dining which is not important to me; though the burger looked delicious. I do like early boarding and not waiting in line but not so much that I would pay that much more.
You could not pay me to fly Spirit again. The only time I ever flew on Spirit was in February 2024, from MCO to GUA. It was so bad, I didn't even use the return portion and booked a ticket on another airline instead. Literally every staff member, on the ground as well as in the air, was either apathetic or extremely rude. The A319 I was on was also, easily, the filthiest aircraft I have ever flown on (and I was in a big front seat).
Hi from W.S. NC! Would like to ask if you could show or do a flight from Greensboro to DWT. Doing business class on American. And then to SLP Mexico. Reason is i like to know a Rating you might give. Thank you Angela
I flew Delta first class from LAX to SJC last week. I wasn't terribly impressed. Yes, it's a short flight but it really felt like I'd paid big money for the same service they got in coach. Nothing special about it.
I took a Spirit flight from Chicago to Las Vegas once. Never again. Very thin seats that didn't recline at all & had a couple with a kid sitting on his dad's lap kicking the back of my seat all the way. No wifi back then on any of their flights. Do yourself a favor & skip the budget airlines & pay a little more with a major carrier like United.
Delta really needs to get rid of those 767s at this point. Maybe keep the slightly newer 767-400s but they need a 330-800 order to junk these tired birds.
I hate airport prices. I try to just bring my own lunch if I can. I don't care if it's beyond smelly. I need my sustenance, I will obtain my sustenance onboard.
Jeb, get back in there and finish that chair massage! LOL Love the cute interations. $50 for 2 meals at LAX? WOW has stuff gone nuts since I last flew there in 2021. Delta should give you at least $3000 back for that flight on a plane older than both my rides combined (1 10 year old car, 1 23 year old car).
Delta is actually my least favorite US domestic airline. United is my favorite US domestic airline. My personal experience. All other airlines "whatever." American Airline is decent.
I have flown Cathay Pacific, Jet Blue, America West, EVA, and American. Once you have flown the Asians, especially in Premium Economy, you want absolutely NOTHING to do with an American airline. American from LAX was the cattle car. America West was forgettable. Jet Blue to/from Vegas was a let down at the time. On the flip side, Cathay was great. EVA is now our chariot to Asia. EVA should be allowed to have a subsidiary in the USA. American and United will go out of business if EVA was allowed to do that.
Never knew I needed to hear Jeb say “me espresso” 😂 thank you for the giggle!
09:38 Nice little touch from Delta to turn their pepper shaker into a jet engine. 😉
Spirit Tip...if you can, buy the seat next to you. Makes a world of difference.
Worth every cent.
They have “Go Comfy” now where the middle seat is guaranteed to be open. Rows 4,5, & 6. Comes with carry on and beverage too
Bold move 🔥💯
On Spirit.. unless its the new economy+ seat option, in my experience someone will always attempt to sit in the seats you've purchased. And of course its the worst kind of people too 💩

Low-Cost carriers are a blessing as many folks need or want cheaper fares.
I hope they can survive
Agreed honestly love family but do you really want to spend $800 for a holiday trip when I have flown to Europe and seen flights to Japan for less

Air travel ambiance, the screaming crying child! Ah...the joy of flying.
I love your channel!
I LOVE that Adidas jacket, Suzanne!!! I wear the same one all the time when I travel!
I love you guys. More plane stuff!!!!!!
Great vlog as always! The U.S has been a graveyard for airplanes since the dereg act from 1979. I love old aircraft so I do not mind. 727 flying until 2005. DC-9 until past 2010. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Thanks for flying Spirit, so we don't have to.
Racist!!!!

Spirit Airlines . . . Earl Scheib would be proud!
Hey Jeb! Allegiant air is getting Boeing 787 max’s you should totally fly them once they start using them (Starts In Late November)
Correction: Boeing 737 max
Boeing 787 is a widebody aircraft used for long haul flights

Thank you so much for flying to Baltimore :D
It's more than just raw violence.

The thumbnail doesn’t compliment you stay classy suits you much better!
How about a flight in business class on a narrowbody vs widebody aircraft on a transatlantic flight? Would be very interesting
I just flew Allegiant and Frontier last week. That spirit flight looked like luxury to me 😭😭
I love your videos so much❤❤
I’ve flown that Delta product before, but it was Atlanta to Los Angeles and costed about $1800
Who else loves jeb❤❤

Keep up the good UA-cam videos and make sure to visit PDX sometime
Wow spirit actually seems like a decent option for once
Always enjoy your comparison videos. Interesting to see the differences especially at the fancy level.

Hello Jeb. How are you both doing? I am interested in your immunity shot of ginger. What is that? Mahalo.
Great Video

Hi Jeb may you please keep in mind that CVG is my home airport and I know you already did a video on it, but was willing if you did a flight on it
In all honesty, air travel in the US is like Greyhound with wings… I will always value getting from Point A to Point B for the cheapest price.
That massage for a dollar? That's not a massage. You're being ripped-off! 😉
Call me old fashioned but for $3000 I could get soooooo many more trips and if I prefer to ‘upgrade’ I can book the front seats on spirit and spend a couple hundred bucks for food or lounge access. Unless I probably had $10 mil in the bank 😂. Sorry I am so frugal. Its ok to indulge though!
I recently found out about how Delta overcharges flights originating from here in SLC. Read up on it and do a video about it.
wearing white shirts on a travel day! Braver than me!
We booked a flight from Miami to Seattle for $38 crazy
Can you do a frontier go wild pass review pleaseeeee
$59, but you would miss the week long Greyhound experience for same value 😂
Sometimes Delta flies A350s from ATL to Orlando 😆
I hope this comment helps you in keep doing what you love. This seems like so much fun!
Delta uses these same olds 767s to South American routes like JFK-GRU that is a 10 hours flight.
For delta I would have recommended LAX-ATL on an a350
I think it is alot about the fine dining which is not important to me; though the burger looked delicious. I do like early boarding and not waiting in line but not so much that I would pay that much more.

someone noticed the menu music from monster jam showdown? 😄
5:33
Apparently Delta's retiring their 767-300s by 2030 so hopefully it's better seats in Delta One.
Those frites were, uhh, seemingly a bit lacking in the frite portion of the cooking process.
Paying all that for DL is insane
Hi from W.S. NC! Would like to ask if you could show or do a flight from Greensboro to DWT. Doing business class on American. And then to SLP Mexico. Reason is i like to know a Rating you might give. Thank you Angela
Was curious if you ever notice other travelers giving funny looks when you're filming in public? Do many people recognize you??
If you can fight in the terminal, Spirit will let you fly for free, yo!
Jen Brooks is goated
I flew Delta first class from LAX to SJC last week. I wasn't terribly impressed. Yes, it's a short flight but it really felt like I'd paid big money for the same service they got in coach. Nothing special about it.

As someone who is 6’05”…I will never fly that spirit plane. My god.
Of course So glad 2 of my favorite people yayyyy stay safe love birds ‼️‼️💯❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💐🍾🏅
59 vs 3,000 they could put me in the cargo hold and I'd choose the 59-dollar flight.
The ticket price is only 1 USD if you can manage to sit on top of the plane.
Are you sure this is a 34 year old 767 ?? 😮😮😮😮
UPDATE ! Just checked ! You are correct sir !😅
Airport lunch for 2 costing $50
Average California moment
Jeb you can have a nice steak for free and you choose a hamburger??!!!
What can I say? I’m a simple man! 🤣
@@GreenerGrass😂😂 if you enjoy them better then go for it👍
No Jeb score today?
I'd almost rather drive than spend 4 hours on Spirit😂
Can silver Medallion get access to delta one lounge ?
Pre-reclined 😂
I hate airport prices. I try to just bring my own lunch if I can. I don't care if it's beyond smelly. I need my sustenance, I will obtain my sustenance onboard.
Do the spirit seats recline? God I hope not
Tbh, not really a fan of the cutting back and forth. A back-to-back comparison or a split-screen would have worked better imo
Thanks for your feedback! It was a fun experiment for us. Would you mind sharing more about how you’d see a split-screen working? Thanks!
$50 meal that you could probably make for $5 lol
“The seat is pre-reclined for your comfort”
Budget airlines trying to cover up their lack of redline
Recline*
Delta One on the 763 shouldn't be called Delta One. It's "First Class" from the 90s.
The legroom of the Spirit seats is do tight, that’s torture for a 4,5 h flight.😡😡😡
1:43 - 1:46 Was that a fire alarm going off in the background? 0 ______ o
Good ear! It was…I did my best to edit it out, but couldn’t get all of it…
Jeb And Suzanne Brooks what's up.
I wish everywhere would stop with the damn wagyu designation. unless it is A5 from actual Japan it is just another type of cow
I have to eat 2hrs before flying 😢I can't eat when flying makes my tummy upset 😢
Those Spirit seats ought to be illegal. Delta was a disgrace for the price.
Humm, it seems Spirit is a cattle car...while Delta is expensive. What about a happy medium?
Bro turned into Mr Beast 😭💀
JetBlue's Mint class was waaay better
Jeb, get back in there and finish that chair massage! LOL Love the cute interations. $50 for 2 meals at LAX? WOW has stuff gone nuts since I last flew there in 2021.
Delta should give you at least $3000 back for that flight on a plane older than both my rides combined (1 10 year old car, 1 23 year old car).
Delta is actually my least favorite US domestic airline. United is my favorite US domestic airline. My personal experience. All other airlines "whatever." American Airline is decent.
The Delta 767 has the worst business class configuration in the fleet. They need to be upgraded or retired.
😮
Love the content Jeb. But struggled with the format of splitting up the reviews, going back and forth. 😢
Thanks for the feedback! We wanted to try something new. Would love any recommendations you may have!
Agreed. I appreciate the attempt at something different, but I prefer the normal, more linear style.
I have flown Cathay Pacific, Jet Blue, America West, EVA, and American. Once you have flown the Asians, especially in Premium Economy, you want absolutely NOTHING to do with an American airline. American from LAX was the cattle car. America West was forgettable. Jet Blue to/from Vegas was a let down at the time. On the flip side, Cathay was great. EVA is now our chariot to Asia. EVA should be allowed to have a subsidiary in the USA. American and United will go out of business if EVA was allowed to do that.
$3,000 almost pays for my recent trip to Barcelona Spain 🇪🇸 flight and hotel package
Just went through the Delta One lounge on our way to Heathrow last month, it was an incredible experience!
Sooooo, Delta One doesn't worth it for flights within the US
Finally. After watching your videos for 3 years, you go to my hometown of B'more. Please to a Southwest hub hopping video. That should be fun.
Lolol what a joke that delta charges the same for the old trash seats as the new.
Haha, Suzanne... I can't believe you're a UA-cam star now! Didn't see that coming 😀. Congrats!
Tim!!! Great to hear from you! I didn’t see a UA-cam career coming either, but here we are🤣 Hope you and the fam are well!
