Just got a deal for a Weds to Weds flight on Spirit for $44. Can’t pass that up. My wife can only come down for a long weekend which is $84 but I will take the week.

The great thing about having a house is there are no bags to fly. Everything we would ever need is in the house so just get on the plane and go.

Probably will rent a car but with the golf carts I could get a ride so we shall see.

This will most likely be our last trip until next winter. We have a cruise in Sept and Aruba in Dec so we will need to see what time is available for Florida.

Great deal.

I've heard flying Spirit is similar to being in a cattle car...thoughts.

Do you fly to Aruba from Florida or up north?

If only we had more FAA inspectors ! Ask to see the “ Flight Log Book” , the Deferred item list can be overwhelming..

It's true, flights are crazy cheap lately. I fly down to either Orlando or Sanford from Rochester ny for an average of 50$ each way. I've done this on alligent, frontier and southwest, in addition, Rochester has now picked up spirit also.
I do the same as this poster...I have a house in both places, so no need for carry on...yes, that can be a separate charge. These are all DIRECT flights so I get there in under 3 hours.
Two weeks ago I flew out of sanford my 2:04 flight left late, at 2:55. The pilot put us on the ground at 4:59....crazy.......you can't pay for a dinner out cheaper than this flight price...or eat it as quickly....lol

You have to pay extra for the seat. It could be anywhere between 19 and 40 extra depending on the seat. It is absolutely like sitting in a cattle-car.

If you just want a glass of water, you have to pay extra for it. And they don't take cash, so you'd have to charge $2 for a mini-bottle of water onto your credit card. Suggestion: ask for just a cup of ice. That's pretty much the only thing they don't charge extra for. Then let the ice melt, and voila - you have 1/4 of a cup of water, free.

we were snow bunnies for about six years....yup, nice to travel w/o bags

Yeah, everything is extra so careful.
Some don't realize it until it's to later and the flight cost $255.00.

BTW... check offend for flight cancelations; the cheap airlines remove flights a lot if your flight isn't full.
Fair warning

Spirit has come a long way, last flight was on a brand new plane, just no tvs or wifi.

We fly Boston to Aruba direct flights from Boston on JetBlue.

Have to fly Tuesday or Wednesday, no frills and it cost more than the flight cost to pick a seat, bring a carryon or check luggage. This is where they make their money I guess.

When I booked it I said even if I don’t go, it is only $44.

The last time we flew Spirit it was a brand new plane, 9 days old, and we did upgrade to the oversized seats up front so it was real nice.
