Yes, I’m convinced that is why I was immune to Covid. At least the new coffee makes that water taste better.

Also to travel to Europe & beyond which airline or airlines offer discounted tickets to Spirit Pilots.
Thank you.

It's not so much a discount on the air fare, but we can buy tickets the same price as what you see online. While getting 1 check bag and 1 carry on per passenger. The biggest discount is buying the tickets at the counter or gate, which anyone can do. This is the best deal if you don't plan on traveling with a check bag or carry on.

Yep. Or save $30 and buy a ticket at the counter if you don't need bags.

Are you allowed to buy upgraded seats through team travel?
