Frontier is making a bid to merge with Spirit and if all goes through they will be the 5th largest carrier.

Requires no luggage , checked or carryon. No seat selection. Not good for tall people. Tightest seats of any airline

That is fine it is $22 each way Boston to Orlando.

It's not a guess, the airlines have unbundled all their costs and literally do make billions of dollars extra correctly now

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.

Good information - especially knowing about your plans for a trip??

That’s low enough to rescind our vow that spirit would be a once in a lifetime exoerience!
Did someone say SPIRIT and AIRLINE in the same sentence?;-)

I love Spirit. I have flown my wife to and from Detroit at times for $20 each leg! No need for free pretzels or peanuts. That's about $9/hour.

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

Had a direct flight down to Orlando last year with Spirit. Flight was changed without notice to different flight with a 14 hour layover. Still trying to get my money back

I wouldn’t fly on Spirit if the tickets were free. The last time I flew with them the seats were so close together that I had to keep my knees spread apart like a tobaggan because they wouldn’t fit in front of me behind the seat ahead. They’ve redesigned the seats so that they have metal tubing as structure and next to no upholstery or padding.

So help me here, what is the issue? Are you just bragging about your life?

Don’t be a stink bug……

I used to fly Spirit, but never again. My sister just booked a flight on Spirit to TV from Philly for a similar price like yours. She said that they made her pay luggage fees even though she wont have any luggage.
After the trip, let us know how much it really cost.

Spirit! That means plus $50 or more each way for a SEAT, unless you are going to stand the whole way, which isn’t allowed. And $25 for a carry-on bag, each way, or $50 each way for checked luggage. I flew eight years ago from Allentown, PA to Sanford, FL. By the time I took a shuttle bus to Orlando to catch a shuttle bus going to Ocala (to visit a friend), it was not really much cheaper than flying United.

I hear you: Once on Spirit is enough. We flew Spirit this past weekend to Columbus OH and back.
The GOOD: Very inexpensive, only delayed 1 hour (not bad), nice flight attendants, direct flight
The BAD: ZERO comfort, and I mean zero - little padding in the seat; little leg room; conflicting information at airport - delayed, not delayed, delayed, not delayed, even gate agent didn’t know. No leg room (unless you pay for the “big” seat); some rows don’t allow you to put bags under seat in front of you. Our Row 4 was one of those rows.

We decided Spirit is a young person’s game. You can travel with a backpack and get great deals.We are too old to subject our bodies to those awful seats and no space to move your legs or store your purse.While the big carriers are not anything to brag about on a comfort level, Spirit is much less. Our backs are still recovering from those 2 flights.
