I don't usually fly spirit but I have to give credit where credit is due: these folks mopped the floor with the competition in terms of a deal when I was going to the US Virgin Islands! They had round trip flights for $190 per person (nothing included), and the next cheapest flight from another airline was $600. My mother and I jumped on this! Including one suitcase that I added on to her flight, our ticket prices averaged $250 each (the add on suitcase was $110 total). The flight we took did include a red eye/overnight layover in Ft. Lauderdale which was unfortunate but I had to work Friday during the day and it was the only flight that left at night/arrived early in the AM Sat (all the rest of the flights are 6-7 hrs total leaving in the AM and arriving late). So this flight was perfect imo.
The staff at the gate and on the plane were very friendly and welcoming! I felt quite safe the entire ride to and from the island as well, which is so important to me. The economy section was otherwise fairly equivalent to other airlines I've flown, so I was not mad about it at all.
Overall will absolutely continue flying spirit when they come in clutch with these flight deals! read more
