Zoek goedkope vluchten op Spirit Airlines

Seats double booked even after I paid

Nadelen: Even after paying for the seat in advance, we were made to stand for a long time as someone else was sitting in our seat. I will ask for a refund of seat selection amount.

Airplane stifling hot

Voordelen: We were attracted by Spirit's deceptively low pricing for airfare.

Nadelen: We, along with several other passengers, found out at the gate that carry-on luggage must be pre-paid or they charge $65 to each passenger to bring it on the plane. My traveling partner and I paid the $130 to bring our bags with us, along with most of the other passengers who were informed. However, I learned on the plane of one unfortunate young man who did not have $65 and they made him leave his carry-on bag; they provided him a paper bag and allowed him to put whatever belongings he could fit into the paper bag. That young man boarded and was asked to give up his seat, so an older lady could sit with her family, and he graciously crowded into the window seat that was initially assigned to the elder passenger. The plane sat on the tarmac without the engine on, with absolutely no air circulating in the cabin, and it was stifling hot, making me feel ill. There was no water available to drink and no running water in the bathroom -- passengers must "wash" their hands with a flimsy inadequate hand wipe.

Just blah

Voordelen: Flight attendants were nice, plane was clean

Nadelen: Two hour delay, paying for luggage, paying for food and drinks. I thought I was getting a good deal but with all the add on's I probably didn't.
