This is so perfect. Frontier wanted to charge me $600 to change a flight, when it costs $200 to buy a whole new reservation... and wanted to charge me $300 to cancel it, rather than just not showing up. LUL
@@dimon22323 im not going to pay $300 to stay on their good side. They dont value our business relationship, otherwise they wouldnt be extorting me, so why should I?
@@allananderson949 1. They aren't interested in you pursuing the chargeback, this way involving lawyers and other extra costs that are more expensive for airline than ticket itself. Usually people don't let money go as is, so customers pursue chargebacks. 2. They protect themselves from "leg-skippers". If you have multi-stop ticket, skipping last few stops in the entire itinerary could be cheaper way to reach particular city than buying direct flight to that city (that's just how Airline economy works). Now, airline itself might not know if you're the leg-skipper or you're legit unable to get to flight. 3. It delays airplane departures, as they spend time looking for you in airport via announcements
@@dimon22323 eventually middle class citizen/customer gets robbed by the airlines who end up making millions by the end of the year, & passengers are not. Best is to buy electric car and travel if you can afford time.

This actually happened to me in all seriousness when flew with Spirit airlines years ago! Cancelation and no food or drink in the midnight layover and then refused to give me a cookie or water because it wasn't purchased ignoring that I was victim of their bad planning. I really needed some sugar since I was close to fainting. I explained my situation and circumstances....no attention just a smile and empty promises. No sympathy. No attention.
If airlines could get away with making you pay for air, seatbelts, and bringing water in board, they absolutely would. I’m surprised they don’t make you pay to use the toilet
oh no, that was actually a thing businesses tried for about a minute. 1980-ish, quarter or more to use the restroom. we assumed it would make restrooms cleaner. but uhm, where the F do you get change in the middle of the night? also didnt improve much. also, people with "medical issues" just decided not to use those businesses.
@@cocoadragon8554 In Italy, they have those sliding doors that open when you put in a euro in front of the bathrooms. And businesses outside of the train stations don't let you use their toilet unless you buy something.
As an Airline First Officer, myself. I actually found Spirit too troublesome and flew American when I couldn’t use my travel benefits since the planes were always overbooked to maximize profits. It also seemed that once you added all the fees up, American and Southwest were priced competitively every time.
I flew Spirit Airlines once… ONCE. Thought I was saving the company money. Wound up not only being about the same, but my seat literally was just cardboard with pleather. My tailbone STILL hurts and it was 8 years ago.
I cancelled a trip with Spirit a few days after making it. I knew there would be a penalty/fee/whatever. The fare was originally $118. When they took out the fees, they were listed as "Cancellation fee - $35" and (believe it or not) "Government's Part - $48." I now have a $35 credit that has to be used by lunchtime tomorrow.
Between Nikki and Stevie, the quality of the acting and writing multiplied by the volume of segments is becoming an overwhelming number. Your starring and supporting cast are very attractive. The sets and production values are better every year. Your fans have a lot of questions. 1. Where does this great body of work take you all? 2. When do you sleep?
Wow! Reminds of way back in the beginning of Deregulation the late great Pan Am had a fare of 99.00 one way to the West coast and you could fly back for a mere Penny! Other Airlines soon followed suit and the Ala Carte pricing system raised it's ugly head! So, a 50.00 Round Trip Base fare from NY to LAX became a lot more expensive like this: *Base Fare-50,00 *Fed Tax-. 5.00 *Fuel Schg-. 25.00 *PAX Svc-. 35.00 *Airport MX-. 15.00 *Meal Waver-10.00 *IATA Fees-. 50.00 *Dest Fees-. 35.00 *Admin Fees-. 10.00 So, your great fare be now totals 235.00 Round-trip! Thanks for flying with us!
"you pay for flight but not for a seat" was actually a reality. If you wanted to travel by railroad in Russia, you had to get 2 tickets, one for the ride and one for the seat. Only recently this system was abandoned.
I just flew frontier the wheels on my bag stuck out just enough so my bag wouldn't fit in the personal item bin. The lady for a small charge $99 (what I paid for my flight) I could take my bag with me as a carry on. So I ripped the wheels off my bag and it fit just fine and I escaped the fee. Now I don't have wheels on my bag but whatever.
Yep sounds like something I would do and I can hear my gf in background nagging and telling me I’m stupid or something. I flown enough and seen a lot of bs lmfao 🤣
The fake customer care smile is too eerily correct to not have been honed in the cesspits of retail. And also this is why I fly Delta. Free drinks and no charge for the overhead bin or anything! Free checked bags even.
Okay ... this was hilarious. It reminds me of an old Todd Barry bit where he calls up for concert tickets, but all they have is obstructed view for $100. "Never mind," he tells the ticket agent. "I'll just stay home." And the agent replies, "Stay home? Twenty bucks."
This is sadly true but hilariously done!!! When you get a really good deal on airline tickets you better read the fine print. Btw…..I’ll NEVER fly Spirit again. I’ve never been more uncomfortable on a plane ride in my life and I’ve been on dozens of flights.
"Oh, I'm sorry... were you wanting to admire the incredible view outside the aircraft window? You only purchased a baseline ticket, which doesn't include the scenic package... and since we are an a-la-cart airlines... well, you get the idea. I'll just run your card once again." 😄
That is why I stopped flying Spirit ten years ago. That is how I felt after every interaction with their staff. I’m surprised they didn’t charge for a flight taking off on time.
The fake customer care smile is too funny.
But that is what ladies at the airport do for real
@@dimmacommunication yeah, that’s the joke.
So accurate too.
1:53 seems so accurate
It's an American thing

So accurate 👌
Spirit rocks! Cheap flights
Lmao, how come I found only one comment on this.
@soioioioioioio34 Oh yes, who wouldn't want to fly on the bootleg motel 6 of airlines? I hear they spit on ur face as they walk by in case ur thirsty
I’m surprised they could say spirits name. Maybe they got a deal? Or permission
@@ExMuslimRev11I just added one. Well, this makes 2. You’re welcome
"How would you like to pay for that?"
"With my fists."

I think the best thing of Nikki is her crazy eyes and expressions, it always fits the part perfectly for whatever sketch lol.
It’s called being a good actor without overacting.
it’s “the crazy ex-girlfriend becomes a stewardess.”
And crazy eyelashes
Her Crazy Eyes & Expressions are SCARY AF !! 🤣

I love Kim's acting, always feel sorry for the poor girl in all the videos, and of course Nikki is awesome as always.

No, it's All-a-card 🙂

The original comment says it correctly.

These airline skits are legitimately some of your best work. You are killing these.

gotta free water
Nikki's passive aggressive over-the-top facial expressions are what keep my coming back.
“Never been more confident about anything in my life” dude is committed to that seat😘

As a pilot, I have to say this is rather accurate. Including the crazy FA.
Nikki has a special gift for expressing sarcasm through her facial expressions.
Very good! I love that condescending smile of hers
Nice work there. Surprised and glad you covered this trend of companies to put a chrage on everything.
Nikkis acting is getting crazy good. Every little mannerism was spot on.
That smile, no matter what she's saying! 🤣🤣🤣

Capitalism.
@@jasonhaven7170 It’s not capitalism when the “big” airlines are subsidized by the government and the smaller ones aren’t.
Spirit Airline LMAOOOOO! Nikki is wild AF 😂😂
This is basically Spirit Airlines' welcome video
Scary to think one day it could actually come to this.
I love how it was a generic airline, Then they threw in spirit at the end.
She’s actually a lot nicer than the normal agents

Oh u mean the deluxe package? Keep in mind it is 20 bucks for every additional minute once u exceed ur free 2 minute trial

Nikki is an amazing actress playing a complete socio-path.... almost as if it comes naturally to her.
😲
Almost? :P
this has got to be One of Nikki's funniest ones!
This is having some real spirit airline vibes

This skit was so good that I got sad instead of laughing
Very accurate. I feel like this was a documentary.
The sarcastic smiles are the best 😂
"Debit" was the kicker. Perfect.
This is why I'd never book a "budget" airline lmaoooo
