re: I flew on Spirit this past weekend.

I fly Spirit all the time (1-2x a month), and i can only recall my flught being delayed once or twice. The clientele is a little rough, but otherwise the planes are clean and no frills. Most importantly, they dont have reclining seats, which is great for me. (I usually work on my laptop on flights, and there is always an a**hole in front of me that wants to recline. HUGE pet peeve.)

I type this as Im sitting in an airport bc my American flight is delayed 3 hours. This makes 5 out of my last 5 flights on American being delayed. Thats a truly impressive record.

ETA: Spirit customer service is a completely story. If you cant make your flight or need to change, be prepared chalk up your loss and take the L.
