Locking bathroom doors
 
There is a story going around that Spirit locks the bathroom doors during climb and descent. I find this a bit hard to believe as things happen and people need the restrooms even at inopportune times. What are Spirits real procedures?

I find it hard to believe a Delta pilot doesn't have better things to do on his days off.

And read the intro of your manuals

It’s the new Get More product. $3 a pee, $5 a poo. If you get the new Spirit credit card, you get one free pee a month. They also have package deals where you get a coke, snack, and poo for one low price.

So back to the question. Are the bathrooms locked out? Flyertalk says yes but I find that hard to believe.

No, probably a MEL the the bathroom can’t be used on the ground until 16k ft.

I commute on Alaska all the time. They even make an announcement that the bathroom are locked. You should ask them too.

………..and what would be the difference vs someone already using the lav before said possessor of a spastic colon / bladder? Same result?

I understand in some airlines in developing countries it is common for children to go to the bathroom (both #1and #2) on the side of the road, er ah, side of the aisle in the plane.

That is one way to get around the fees.

much better than a coke, snack and poo at high price. All three are cheap and enjoyable.
no need to pay legacy prices for such pleasures .
