Wow. Both of you missed it. Read again.

Hey Farva, do you always attack on the offensive based on play-on-word? Think that plane rod has been rammed a couple times too much.

I really do love this airline. It seems like every time I pass the Spirit check in desks in ORD at T3 to get thru KCM for my commute, there's ALWAYS at least one passenger losing their **** over fees. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN $100!?! IT'S A CARRY ON!"

I just wanna yell at them, "Don't waste your breath buddy, you'll be back again next month, because it'll still be the cheapest ticket in town!" Especially when the passengers are seriously so ignorant, that they still end up paying similar to what the LCC's are charging for tickets.


Keep on keeping on Spirit

I don't think the passengers are ignorant, I think they don't pay attention, like the ones ridding on every other carrier and can't follow tsa, gate agents and crew instructions.

The website where they purchase the ticket explains the bag charges also
every single ticket counter has a sign explaining the bag charges, specially the one AT THE GATE being $100. I commute on AA and passengers can't seem to understand that they have to move away from the gate to let the deplaning passengers out, or to turn off their electronics, more than 3 times,

Everyone is too busy on their phones to actually pay attention.

I agree. Spirit should model themselves after a real, profitable airline - like Virgin America. What a concept!

Why don't you bring this up to the crew next time you're bumming a free lift?

Au contraire mon frere (Been in the bus too long). I got it, you were poking at Sailor for a typo -probably an auto correct. Yes, when I attack, its on the offensive. Is there another way to attack?


Oh, and since we are playing the spelling / grammar game... here -> '
There is the apostrophe I owe you for "its" instead of "it's" above. Saved you a post kid. You're welcome!

I don't know about ORD but in FLL last time my wife had a paying ticket we got stopped in the TSA line by a Spirit agent who checked her ticket. The agent reminded us that we will have to pay $100 for that carry on she was pulling. I told her she was with me but she kept arguing. She was definitely persistent until I started puling her bag too. Her only purpose was to remind people about the fee. This was back when the fee was introduced.

I am sure people are reminded at check in, yet there is always a passenger who wants to pull a quick one. I just saw one in DFW. But even those have a way out. They can call a number and pay over the phone before boarding and pay like $40. As long they have time.
