      That's probably nothing compared to what those check-in agents go through on a daily basis. Some have said that the Spirit and Frontier check in desks are some of the most dangerous locations in a modern day airport.

      Same here, the only times I've ever had issues with airlines, it's been with full fare carriers. But, even in that case, it hasn't been particularly common. I generally wind up going for the cheapest fairs as I just haven't noticed much of a difference in terms of what I'm getting versus what I'm paying. As the video demonstrates, if you're not somebody like me that travels with a single bag that fits under the seat, you may have better options on one of the "more expensive" airlines.

That's hard to beat and I had absolutely not complaints of any sort about the flight. The plane was clean, the flight crew seemed as nice as any other airline. I would have had to pay for snacks, but fair enough, I did get the flight for literally less than the cab fair to the airport.

      TBH, I've never had problems with any of the discount airlines. I just don't go into it expecting that I'm getting everything included. Personally, I travel with a single bag that fits under the seat anyways for most trips. So, I'll take the deal and just save the money. In the times I've flown Spirit, it's been nothing but a great experience. But, the same goes for all the other ones as well. Apparently enough other people are paying for the upgrades that I can get my seat and have no issues.

    I was a Spirit member for a number of years until I realized that you basically couldn't use your airmiles. Here's an example: I was flying from Detroit to Denver, the Spirit base price was $75 round trip. If I wanted to pay with airmiles for the same flight, it was 20,000 airmiles plus $55. So why would anyone use the airmiles option??

    • @coasterfan1017
      @coasterfan1017 6 місяців тому +9

      Weird. Maybe you selected something wrong, but with my spirit card (which came with 50,000 points), I've been able to use point for Nicaragua (8,000 round trip + $73 in fees for a $250 flight) and Ecuador (which was 10,000+$73 in fees for a $380 flight). One thing is, the point system is I think really hard to manage without the card. The points don't seem to add up from what they say on the free spirit benefits page, and the $50 redemption fee to us the points (which is why the fees were $55 for you and not only $5) makes it hard to justify, but that fee is waved with the card

I used to fly a route for work where it was almost always $99 more for first class vs economy. I needed to check 2 bags which at the time cost $100 round trip. They tried to balk at a peon like me booking first class, but I made the point that I was actually saving them $1 on the cost!

    I’m gonna let this secret out as a frequent flyer from IAH. When it’s high demand or even normal travel, it’s significantly faster to go through terminal B security and transfer to your terminal through the sky train than to wait at the larger terminals’ longer security lines.
    During normal travel periods, terminal B security is almost waiting for you. During peak travel, my average wait in line (excluding going through scanners) was 5-10 minutes. The longest I have ever waiting at terminal B security line was 15 minutes and that was due to short staff.

    Spirit on August 16th going forward until their demise whenever that happens, are implementing a “new cabin experience” with 4 tiers. Go, Go Savvy (includes one carry-on bag), Go Comfy (includes checked bag, carry-on, and snacks. Middle seat blocked), and Go Big (WiFi, snacks, two checked bags, priority boarding and the Big Front Seats). Buy a Big Front Seat before August 16th because they won’t be available ala carte after that.

    Hey Noel! - I have noticed watching your videos that you enjoy a good sausage now and then. Since most American sausage basically sucks, let me turn you on to one of the few exceptions: There is a company in Milwaukee, WI that has been making almost every kind of old-world recipe sausage you can think of for the last 150 years called Usinger’s.
    They have a website you can order from (they ship to anywhere), but be warned - their shipping can cost as much as the order itself. If you wait until Christmas time, they lower their shipping prices dramatically.
    In my opinion, they make the best sausage in America. 😉

    With Spirit and a few other airlines, if you purchase your ticket at the ticket counter (at the airport) it will save you an additional 20 to 30%. I do it all of the time and usually get round-trip tickets (no extras) for dirt cheap. Best airline ticket hack ever!!!

    Spirit was actually the only airline I flew when I was making frequent trips between Tampa and New Jersey. They have a monopoly on Atlantic City airport which was much closer to my family and avoids all the hassle and traffic of Newark. The staff has always been great, the planes are fine for a short hop, and I usually get a snack and a drink or two. They do usually have alcohol but maybe not on a morning flight. I even flew them from Baltimore to LA with a short stop in Houston and that only cost $90 round trip. The stopover was actually quite welcome as I wouldn't want to be in an A-320 for five hours straight. The only knock I have against them is that it's a small fleet so if a plane breaks down you'll be in for an eight hour delay. The only airline that gave me a consistently terrible experience and once stranded me in Philly while holding my bags hostage was US Air.

  • @davidcole333
    @davidcole333 6 місяців тому +19

    I fly about 6 times per year between New Orleans and Raleigh-Durham to visit family. I normally will fly Breeze or Frontier. One thing I did to save a ton of money was to pay for a checked bag on one trip. I packed everything I needed for a 4-day weekend into that bag, then left it at the family home in RDU. Now when I book a ticket on an ultra-low-cost carrier, I simply book the cheapest possible flight and show up with only my personal item that I know is sized to meet any dimension restrictions any of the carriers may have. I can now take flights between the two cities round trip for between $50 and $100 and not care about luggage, or overhead bin space. It takes a ton of stress out of the travel experience.

  • @yaturkenzhensirhiv

    I flew Spirit a couple of times. I'd say the experience is comparable to United: the stuff was friendly and there were no issues. United gives you a few pretzels and a soda on a comparable flight, if you are in economy. And the price for their basic economy (which is more less the same as Spirit in terms of comfort) is usually higher than Spirit's, even if you count the checked bags and stuff. One big downside of Spirit is lack of code sharing airlines. So, if something goes wrong, you are stuck with them, they can't reroute you to another company's flight.

    I've learned to stay away from Spirit and Frontier. My girlfriend was in hospice and I'd flown her kids out to Washington from Indiana to say goodbye. When it came time to fly her youngest daughter back, I booked her flight on Frontier but the final ticket came out with several errors, mixing up her first name and my middle name along with several other errors. I immediately called to fix it and they wanted over $500 so I lost my $130 or so dollars.
