It is what it is. We use them all the time. Cheap & safe. Bring a personal item sized correctly. We are 3 that travel together. We have always sat together.
1. Only fly direct, 2. Imagine absolutely everything that they can upcharge you..then add some more, 3. If your plane gets cancelled, don't expect to catch another flight until the next day. 4. Seats suck.
I’ve watched quite a few Spirit videos since I’ve discovered I have accumulated over 50,000 points. Yours is the most informative! It’s been years since I dare to fly again 😮
I flew frontier a year ago to Vegas. I had a wonderful time. Then it was time to return to the airport. A yahoo saw fit to separate me from my phone as I tracked my Uber. Stole it right from my left hand. Frontier was kind enough to print my boarding pass free. The taxi driver from the airport to my car, not so much understanding.
Please tell me which airline charge for carry ons? I fly all the time on Delta, American, United, Southwest, etc... never have to pay extra for a carry on except on budget airlines like Spirit, Frontier etc...
Omg you are so amazing. Keep posting more about spirit. I'm debating if I should get the the savers club. I have a hm in the state I travel, so I normally travel 4 or 5 times a year. Without bags. Should I joined?
It's really only good if you do their packages for example pick your seat, priority boarding, carry on, etc... I did it two year saved some but not enough to keep it going. If you are loyal to them and fly them 90% then it might be worth it. Just remember it's non refundable and it'll auto renew each year 😉
Man American delta vs spirit even with carryon is way cheaper, even picking seats getting big seats 1 checked bag, is still substantially cheaper than AA or delta random seats
@@Zachus i did look i got 2 tickets with big seats and a carryon for 700 dollars round trip and taking the same for Delta and American and other major airlines were all 1100+, only one that was close to comparable was southwest which didn't have a nonstop flight to fll or mia, from ord or mke, and all the other would not let me pick seats or upgrade
Are you comparing Spirit Big Seats with Delta/American First Class? Because that's not apples to apples. $700 for Spirit?? I thought I paid a lot at $500... insane! or you mean $700 for 2 or $350/each? It's $1100 to fly to MKE at Basic? That doesn't make sense. I just looked this up and First Class is $700 on American/United and Delta for ORD to MKE... Maybe the dates you are picking, but I'd look at that more... Anyways, enjoy your flight and trip!
@@Zachus well it was MKE to FLL, ended up changing at no cost to ord to fll but yea big seats round trip was 348 per person and exact same date 10/29-11/4 for delta using mke or ord nonstop to fll or mia was 550 per person for just a seat not a specific seat or upgrade and right now a quick search gives 400 for delta but its not direct with a 6 hr layover
Re water. Take an empty bottle in your personal bag and fill at the airport. In Louisville, Ky., you'll get Pure Tap --- a tongue in cheek reference to their really good tap water.
I saw that we had to pay for seats at Spirit. How do we avoid having to pay for the seats do we just let them choose for me and my bf who will be traveling with?
Yep if you don't pay for anything but the flight. You get to take a backpack and that's it. Then they will sign you seats. If you book together they normally 99% of the time, put you together. Hope this helps
Are they bigger than 18 x 14 x 8 inches? If so they might ding you and make you check them or pay... Spirit is always looking for a way to make you pay more $$. Good luck! Have an awesome flight
If you have a carry on, then you get this automatically. If you don't then it's just a matter if you want to get on the plane faster. I would say Priority Security is worth way more because you can skip the long lines if your airport offers that.
You can only buy Wifi once on-board. Use the Spirit app and on your phone connect using Settings > Wifi to the Spirit Wifi you see. Sometimes you have to wait till you are in the air. Then you can purchase a package to on board. The prices vary based on route and length...
In the near future, I’m thinking, there will be a required certain weight for the passengers. If they go over the limit, tpassengers will pay just like the luggages.

For an extra cost
1. Only fly direct, 2. Imagine absolutely everything that they can upcharge you..then add some more, 3. If your plane gets cancelled, don't expect to catch another flight until the next day. 4. Seats suck.
Frontier and Spirit are only worth it if you are not taking luggage or there is no other decent airline option.
Agreed more and more so with all the craziness going on

Awesome! Have fun.

So sorry to hear this. Sucks when people take stuff they didn't earn and doesn't belong to them.
Zachus- “it will be a very quick video”
Me- looks at video length
Hmmmm 30 mInuItes
😂 I get into it. I swear I intent for them to be fast LOL
@@Zachus it happens
I wish i can find a $59 right now in July of 2022. Even budget airline is charging people $300 plus a person to travel.
Yep, it's crazy. Had a credit from 2020 that I just used to fly to Orlando on Spirit and it's $500 total
Funny coz other expensive airlines, you also need to pay for seat and carry one
Please tell me which airline charge for carry ons? I fly all the time on Delta, American, United, Southwest, etc... never have to pay extra for a carry on except on budget airlines like Spirit, Frontier etc...
great video zachus! spirit should honestly pay you commish because this totally calmed my nerves about traveling spirit this weekend!
AWESOME!!!
Never flight with them unfortunately just booked and I'm afraid 😳
It'll be good man, I've flown them many times. Not the best but normally gets you there. Have a great flight
@@Zachus Thanks 👍
You is true
@@telefonetoca how did your flight go with them ?y first flight ever in life is with them next week lmao 🤣

I'm using it and it's paying off, so far. But we like the extras like a BFS and checked bag.
Coughing violently 😂🤣😅...will be using that in the future..great tips!
I am flying Spirit next week...
Oh boy
How was it??
Man American delta vs spirit even with carryon is way cheaper, even picking seats getting big seats 1 checked bag, is still substantially cheaper than AA or delta random seats
Not a chance! You just have to go look 🤣
@@Zachus i did look i got 2 tickets with big seats and a carryon for 700 dollars round trip and taking the same for Delta and American and other major airlines were all 1100+, only one that was close to comparable was southwest which didn't have a nonstop flight to fll or mia, from ord or mke, and all the other would not let me pick seats or upgrade

so when i get the “just for you” bundle i don’t have to pay for carry on for my flight correct?
Read each bundle and see what it includes.
I thought i was a veteran traveler. Good info !😃👊🏾
GreatVideo !!! Thinking about getting the bundle
Have a great trip
Im flying tomorrow on spirit im super nervous
Don't be nervous. Hope you had a great flight
Can you take the away bigger carry on as a carry on with spirit?
Yes, I only use the Carry on Bigger on all flights, only some international carriers require you to use the smaller carry on but then I just check it.
I saw that we had to pay for seats at Spirit. How do we avoid having to pay for the seats do we just let them choose for me and my bf who will be traveling with?
Yep if you don't pay for anything but the flight. You get to take a backpack and that's it. Then they will sign you seats. If you book together they normally 99% of the time, put you together. Hope this helps
Awesome video!!!❤ I LOVE your spirit!!!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks! Only, very long video…
Man, you have got to be about as high as these flights you’re reviewing 🤣🤣🤣 Love me some Spirit. Keep on keepin on.
Good video. I have 4 small duffle bags and we are traveling next weekend. What's the size for duffle bags in regards to small personal item
I take a pretty big back pack. You probably won't have any issues unless your in basic economy
@@Zachus I plan to take them as our personal item 👀👀
Are they bigger than 18 x 14 x 8 inches? If so they might ding you and make you check them or pay... Spirit is always looking for a way to make you pay more $$. Good luck! Have an awesome flight
can you have a backpack no charge or fee
Yes, you can take a personal item which can be a backpack
@@Zachus thank you
Is shortcut boarding worth it?
If you have a carry on, then you get this automatically. If you don't then it's just a matter if you want to get on the plane faster. I would say Priority Security is worth way more because you can skip the long lines if your airport offers that.
@@Zachus thank you 😊
Is it true, a fanny pack worn around the waist is considered fashion apparel and is permitted.
Yes
Can I take my backpack and a carry on ??
If you pay for a carry on then yes you can do both
how did i buy a wifi pack in spirit airlines?
You can only buy Wifi once on-board. Use the Spirit app and on your phone connect using Settings > Wifi to the Spirit Wifi you see. Sometimes you have to wait till you are in the air. Then you can purchase a package to on board. The prices vary based on route and length...
The clientele is a little rougher 😂😂😂
Call it like it is here on Zachus no fluff lol
In the near future, I’m thinking, there will be a required certain weight for the passengers. If they go over the limit, tpassengers will pay just like the luggages.
Nope
Good, but could be condensed.
Apple wallet?
Your apple devices have an Apple Wallet on them that hold your digital cards, including credit card, debit, boarding passes, loyalty cards, etc...
Never will fly Spirit!!
