Spirit Air

Pros: Friendly, pleasant service, cheap fares at the last minute (!!)
Cons: Very limited service--who cares for a 2 hour flight?..consider upgrading to Spirit Plus!

I had only flown with Spirit Airlines once, from Washington's Dulles Airport to Fort Lauderdale in June, 2001. I made my booking at 10:45 PM on Sunday night, and flew out at 9:30 Monday morning. I love last-minute trips! That I could ...

Pros: Safety record, upgrading fleet, low fares
Cons: Cramped seating, indifferent passenger service

Introduction My history with Spirit Air goes back to late spring - early summer, 2001. For several months each year I travel each week between my home in Boca Raton, FL and the NYC area. My airline of choice back then: the new Jetblue. But ...

Pros: Cheap, Big Front Seat for a little more money
Cons: Not much for amenities in flight, which doesn't matter for short flights.

I took my first flight on Spirit Airlines last week from Detroit to New York. This review is based on that one experience. Two points to consider about this review. First, I find that you really need to take several flights on an airline to really ...

Pros: Low Prices
Cons: Delays, no meals, a bit cramped, older planes, limited destinations

This review is about my experience traveling with eight other people on Spirit Air to San Juan, Puerto Rico through Ft. Lauderdale, FL for Spring break!!! While our group debated on where to head for Spring Break '04, we discovered that flying to San ...

Pros: Easy booking, cheap fares, good website, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable staff
Cons: None really.. unless you want a pillow or blanket

You know, I usually use Epinions before I make any major purchase (and even some relatively minor ones)... but I'm glad to say that I didn't check before booking our flight from Orlando to Chicago. With all these negative reviews, I would never have ...

Pros: Clean Newer Aircraft; Leatherish Seats; International Network
Cons: Expensive (Relatively Speaking); Extra Fees; No Free Drinks in Big Seat

I have flown Spirit Air on two occasions in the past couple of years. Unlike other LCC carriers, Spirit Air conveniently flies out of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport which is closer to me than Chicago Midway International Airport. As ...

Pros: Gets you from point A to point B
Cons: Savings eaten up by extra charges; annoying policies; terrible airport terminal in Detroit

I've noticed in browsing other reviews for Spirit Air that every single review posted in 2007 gives the airline just one star. There's a simple explanation for this dramatic dip in ratings: Spirit has overhauled many of its policies. Now the experience ...

Pros: cheap prices, friendly staff
Cons: delays, no meals, cramped seats

Recently, I decided to make a last-minute trip to see a dear friend of mine who lives out in New York City. Knowing how much the airlines love to take advantage of the last-minute traveler and their desire for a ticket, I bravely started looking...

Pros: LOW Fares, Friendly and Professional Service, Clean and comfortable planes, web check-in
Cons: Confusion over internet check-in

For our spring break vacation from Chicago to Orlando, we decided to go with Spirit Airlines. The fare was much cheaper than any other airline, and they (unlike SWA, ATA, or other discounters) fly out of O'Hare, which is much closer to us than Midway. ...

Pros: Cheap fares, competent staff, good on-time record
Cons: Little info from customer service agents, somewhat hard seats

My wife and I have flown on Spirit three times in the past year and a half. We have had excellent experiences each time, and the fares are very low. While their aircraft are mostly older MD-80's, they are just as comfortable, if not more so, than newer ...

Pros: Always friendly, on time, and bargain priced.
Cons: Small pillows

Spirit Air is an exceptional bargain for those who are willing to sacrifice frills for price. Th ...

Pros: Cheap fares, new planes(some)
Cons: No baggage insurance, lost luggage

My flight was cancelled about 12 hours before take-off. No one bothered to call us or e-mail us about it though. My husband & I ended up stranded in ATL until the next day. This made us lose a full day of our vacation; actually more than that if you ...

Pros: Low fares, great service, good flights, 100% online transactions (itinerary/reserved seats/boarding pass printing).
Cons: Limited destinations.

I hate to fly, it scares me, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to visit Las Vegas again, so I started shopping for airfare. I spent a couple weeks scouring the internet for the lowest rates I could find. Take offs and landings are the worst for me ...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: You will pay in the end

I know this is long, but PLEASE read all of it... It could really save you!!! Alrighty... So... I just got back from my weeklong, much needed, vacation in Montego Bay, Jamaica. (I had a great time down there.) When I booked the trip, CheapTickets.com ...

Pros: Fares
Cons: The YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR method

Hello Everybody. Thank you in advance for reading. :)

Okay, this review, although done in April of 02, the flight was actually a few months ago while Spirit still served Newark International and not just hell. Wait, I mean La Guardia, not...
