On Spirit.. unless its the new economy+ seat option, in my experience someone will always attempt to sit in the seats you've purchased. And of course its the worst kind of people too 💩
I gotta say that’s one of the more unique things with Delta airlines I think other airlines need to do something like that with their pepper shakers tbh and if I ever fly on Delta airlines and I order some food on the plane and I get one of those pepper shakers I’m gonna keep it as a souvenir from the flight because I think they look cool
I flew Spirit from Hartford to Orlando and back and I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't bad. Be prepared for lack of wifi and expensive snacks but if you prepare for it before hand, you won't notice. Sure the seats are a bit cramped and stuff but, having flown all over the world on a dozen different airlines, it's really not as bad as people say. Spirit isn't some first class airline, but as long as you're prepared for it, you'll save some money and it's not a bad trip. Also, I'm sure I'm one of a very small few, but an upset baby has never bothered me. The pressurization I'm sure is uncomfortable for them and I'm sure their parents are frazzled
Babies do not bother me either.Actually, it I can normally sleep through it,or go back to sleep if they start crying. They are babies.They cannot help it.
Airline food in economy is sketchy anyway, far better to eat at the airport just before the flight, Then you can also have anything you want and as much as you want.
wdym by lack of wifi. Most economy tickets dont have complimentary wifi. I've flown overseas on Singapore, emirates, etc... and never experienced wifi with my ticket. The only time I had complimentary wifi was flying Hawaiian from maui to San Diego.
@@triple7marc yeah that’s what I like about Jeb’s channel too. Imo he has the best aviation channel on RUclips even though he’s hasn’t gotten to 1 million subscribers yet
Your reviews are a double pleasure for me. On the one hand, there are the trips and on the other hand, a happy couple. I wish you continued success! Greetings from Munich. By the way: US has become very expensive… 😙
Call me old fashioned but for $3000 I could get soooooo many more trips and if I prefer to ‘upgrade’ I can book the front seats on spirit and spend a couple hundred bucks for food or lounge access. Unless I probably had $10 mil in the bank 😂. Sorry I am so frugal. Its ok to indulge though!
Plus lounges aren't all made equal. I recently splurged on a business class flight (with Air Canada) and the lounge (in Montreal) was okay but overcrowded at the time I went and not really worth it to me. My last flight, I debated between flying Spirit and Southwest and ended up picking Southwest because they offered a nonstop flight on my route while flying with Spirit would have required a transfer.
Hey Jeb! I’m curious, what are your thoughts on the new Delta cabin they announced a few days ago? I’m very excited. I would LOVE to see you do a review of the first flight of it on the 757-200 later this year. Great video! Keep Climbing! ❤️
They look very fresh, my only concern is they look to be using the newest Recaro seats in economy. I’ve flown in similar seats on a few other airlines and they’re so thick, they eat into your personal space quite a bit. Not just in leg and knee room, but the seat back is like very close to your face. 😂
You can fly roughly the same experience on Delta across the country length wise if you look for the first class tickets on 767-300/400ER (LAX-HNL is a common route) for a fraction of the price.
Wow, that Delta flight, what a let down for $3K! That really surprised me, and as usual another great video from you both. I so look forward to your videos!!!
Personally, Delta hasn't been wowing me lately. I flew from Des Moines to LaGuardia recently and that plane has the dirtiest, most beat up interior I've seen on any airline. It was not good.
Delta has taken a nosedive since COVID. No other way to put it. For example, I flew with them from Atlanta to Europe in 2022 and the experience was abysmal. 2023 and 2024 haven't proven to be much better. In fact, I've now come to prefer United. *Yes, United.* Ultimately, though, no US carrier can hold a candle to many carriers from Asia, the Middle East, and even Oceania and Europe.
Spot on about the Delta LAX-JFK experience. The service and amenities are top notch as always, but the interior of their 763 D1 product would benefit from a refresh. Especially on such a premium route.
Great video! Where this would get a lot more interesting imho is comparing the most and least expensive economy seats. Bc something tells me the price difference is still a lot, despite the differences dwindling
Great video! It seems you spent 50 USD for flight and additional 500 USD for other expenses in Spirit options. It means their marketing strategy is working.
My 1 experience with Spirit was unusually good in '16 when my brother and I went to Vegas. It checked off all of the boxes in having complete control of the travel experience. All that was wanted was a decent seat, good crew and a reasonably well maintained airplane. I use and support LCC's elsewhere and in the US, I try to go mostly by Amtrak. The Shiny Happy People can have the top level most expensive seats on any airline.
That Delta One lounge is such game changer for Delta but it took them so long to bring it out. I’m glad it’s finally here though! They just need to be consistent with their seats now 😭 But also great video as always!
Spirit can be a great option despite having such a negative reputation, I found that while service at the airport could see improvements, once onboard the crew is very friendly and professional.
This has been a cute video. Love the message. Just a note. We took a DeltaA350 from LAX to ATL. Was so glad to see those flat seats!!! Slept all the way to the A!
I flew Spirit a couple of days ago, and went with 'Go Comfy'. The middle seat is blocked so you won't have anyone sitting next to you. Included 1 checked bag. 1 carry on, and 1 personal item ; as well as a drink and snack. PLUS you're boarding group 2. I thought it was great.
I'll be running a version of this challenge myself soon. I haven't flown a ULCC before, but Delta out and Spirit back was both cheaper and actually a lot more convenient for my schedule than any other combination. This is a shorter trip (BOS-FLL/MIA) and it's "only" Delta's Domestic First and not Delta One, so the base Spirit fare was only ten times less expensive than the Delta flight. And I splurged for the "comfy" seat package with the blocked center seat so that brings Spirit up to a little more than three times less expensive. But it's still a bargain that will get me home smoother than Delta could on that timetable. At least, I hope I'll think so after I'm done.
Fly Alaska. You'd get lounge access (only airline to give lounge access with a first class ticket), a comfortable seat, pleasant crew and staff, reasonable ticket prices. For so much more, you'd pay a little less.
Only airline to give lounge access with a first class ticket...if you're flying transcon or to Hawaii. Shorter than that, you do get a half-price discount on a day pass. Came in handy for me changing planes at PDX and using the Alaska Lounge there.
Hi Jeb, If you're back in Europe, could you take a look at FSC airline AIS Airlines? They operate a Jetstream 31/32 on the routes from Esbjerg to Stavanger and Karup to Copenhagen. Perhaps you could plan a trip across Europe using only smaller regional carriers like AIS Airlines, Avanti Air, Aoroexpress Regional, Blue Express, etc.
That seat did look disappointing. That said, I have found that Delta are much better than they used to be, especially on trans-Atlantic routes. Thanks for your awesome content.
I have a few ideas for your next video ideas: Emirates A380 Business Class, even though you've done first Royal Air Maroc Business Class New Emirates A350 also I like the thumbnails of you just enjoying the flight, makes it seem more authentic
Great video Jeb and Suzan enjoyed it as always. Oh I believe if I remember correctly happy 3rd anniversary for the 16th October. I only remember that is I got married on the same day. Keep the videos coming I really enjoy them. Take care both
For several years, I had premium/first class status on Alaska/Horizon, which granted me access to the lounges. 99% of the time I flew between Boise, Seattle, and Portland, OR. Boise didn't have a lounge, but that was fine. I left at 7:00 a.m. I would fly into Seattle, check into the lounge, grab a bit of brunch, check my email, then board the air shuttle to PDX. I would stop in at that lounge, once again check my email (this was all business travel) and maybe grab a pastry as I headed for the gate. On the way home on the same day, everything in reverse, only going home, adult beverages were involved. Then one day, I had to travel to EWR (Newark, NJ). I had a couple of hours to kill before my ride picked me up (I was on a redeye between the west and east coast of the U.S.). So I went into the lounge and was stunned! They had showers, beds, food, drink, everything! In hindsight, now that I know more, I should have grabbed a shower and a nap in one of the small cot rooms. Instead, I imbibed because my doctoral classes didn't start until the next morning, and I wasn't driving.
That burger dripping hard. Also looking into flying business to Europe at some point down the road. I always like to check what kind of plane it is first just to get an idea before I get on. I do the same thing when traveling around the US. However we have one a350 from Atl to LA
Great vlog as always! The U.S has been a graveyard for airplanes since the dereg act from 1979. I love old aircraft so I do not mind. 727 flying until 2005. DC-9 until past 2010. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
I fly CLT-SFO often. When work pay - AA up front for around $1500 return. When it’s not for work and I’m paying - Southwest for around $150. Which do I prefer? Strangely, Southwest. 16A or F which no one wants - you’ll get a whole spare row of legroom, and I bring my own food and drink. Their refund and bag policy is good too. We’ll see how things change next year with my unicorn seat.
Jeb, get back in there and finish that chair massage! LOL Love the cute interations. $50 for 2 meals at LAX? WOW has stuff gone nuts since I last flew there in 2021. Delta should give you at least $3000 back for that flight on a plane older than both my rides combined (1 10 year old car, 1 23 year old car).
We just booked domestic first class as two one way flights on dofferent airlines, only because they were cheaper or about the same price as Southwest, who we were originally going to fly. Moral of the story, make sure to really compare costs. One of the first class flights I got cheaper than the economy plus... I'm still trying to figure out what the catch is...
Jeb, you will never catch me on any of those cheapass flights from Spirit or Southwest. I've been a Delta customer for many years. Some planes offer more bang for your buck than others, but all in all, I've never had many complaints.
I think i'd be ok with choosing Spirit so as to save $$$$ to get to NYC from LAX for as little as possible, even if mean's roughing it., but paying $3000 on Delta like..... no way! (totally over-rated too) Awesome video here Jeb & Suzanne - my score for Jeb & Suzanne is 10/10🛫👍
That was a nice walkthrough on the difference. Business class is definitely not worth it unless your employer is buying. Even if you had the means to pay for it and wanted luxury for money, it would be cheaper to fly Spirit + have dinner at the nicest Steakhouse in Beverly Hills + sleep a night at the most luxurious hotel in LA than to buy that Delta One ticket. Delta also needs more of a push to clear out those crumbling 767-300 cabins. They're my favorite US airline, but for that journey I'd probably pick United or JetBlue over them, just because the hard product is so bad.
So tolerate, if not accept, flying becoming a winged Greyhound bus if our travel experience at the destination makes up for it? I was right about aviation becoming nothing more than a means to an end.
I've flown all the major airlines (not first class, though) and only recently tried out Spirit a few times. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into beforehand and arrive prepared, Spirit is a great option. They get you from point A to B for a fraction of the cost, and if you prep properly, you can still enjoy the snacks and entertainment you love (bring them with you). The idea of paying exorbitantly more of an experience that isn't THAT much nicer than Spirit seems crazy to me now. That being said, Spirit can get very expensive if you're not careful. Also, their seats get uncomfortable after the first 2 hours or less, so you have to readjust yourself every like 30 minutes (or just wear really comfy clothes to help).
Agree, most expensive definitely not worth 50 times the cheapest. Spirit seat looked very cramped but then difficult to argue with a $59 ticket. Delta Business seat/experience was good but $3K is an absurd price.
Jeb I have a question. I just booked Delta One JFK to LAX using miles just to visit both new Delta One Lounges at both Airports. I’m understanding you can visit both departing and arrival airports with Delta One. Do you have any input or affirmation on that? Thanks.
An awesome video, as always! I love Delta but they are really shooting themselves in the foot by flying their historically old 767s on JFK-LAX, perhaps one of the most premium heavy flights in the world, when they have such better offerings on their newer widebody aircraft.
-Great synchronizing ❤ -If I may ask, why some people’s faces get blurred, do they approach you and ask, or do you ask everyone if okay to be showcased? -It’s really pleasant to see you both. -Fifty bucks!!!
We don’t ask, and no one has ever asked us not to be shown. But if you can see someone’s face clearly in the footage we usually blur it since they didn’t ask to be in a video!
Another sensational video. You did make it hard to decide which airline to choose though.🤔🤔 Come and try some Aussie domestic flights. We get Spirit service for Delta price here since Covid. Love your stuff guys.
Well done seeing a comparison like this. That looks like the same Delta cabin I flew 9 years ago. I travel alone and dislike sitting 3 across so I’d likely spend more than on Spirit Airlines.
You’re correct! Delta does not include lounge access for domestic first class flights. However, they do provide it for flights branded as “Delta One.” That includes most international flights as well as some transcontinental flights like the one we were on. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Jeb As a Canadian I have flown an airline called Porter. It is a great airline with complimentary snacks and drinks as well as free beer and wine. I highly recommend it. Hope to see you on it one day.
Love Porter, we flew it a loooong time ago and you can watch that video here: ruclips.net/video/PokekGdS1k0/видео.htmlsi=fqDY4UEd-bYEVEAT. Would love to try it again on the new E-jets tho!
Thanks for your reply Jeb. My 11 year old is taking over my RUclips account and he wrote that message to you-he’s a huge aviation geek. He’ll be thrilled to see your message!
Nice 'Comparo' Jeb between these two Airlines. Although, Spirit actually cost more than the $59 you mentioned because of their 'bag charge' of another $50 bucks, ='s $109 doesn't it? Both Spirit & Allegiant have 'hidden charges' that are NOT included in the so called "Low Fare" price. To be unfair, the Delta Lounge IS a nice luxury to be enjoyed before the flight, vs the looking for a quiet seat in the LAX waiting area with no amenities. I think it also matters with 'the pick of the pack', i.e. which plane did they put on this flight. Just maybe, the same flight the next day or week had a newer model flying the route? Where's the wider train cars?
I absolutely love watching your videos and I love seeing you and Suzanne making these memories together and sharing with us. I’m so happy that I found your channel! Not trying to disrespect anyone however I watch two of travelers but when their wives are in the video I don’t watch it.
Turn the neck pillow around so that the open part is behind your head. It gives you more pillow space to lean and your head isnt pushed away from the seat cushion
Hi Jeb, love your content! This video made me wonder what the etiquette is in lounges? For example, when you ate at the sit-down restaurant in the DeltaOne Lounge, was there an expectation to tip servers? What about in other lounges? It may make for good episodes! Happy Flying!
I like how you combined both comparisons at the same time. It's probably harder editing but it makes for a good piece
Low-Cost carriers are a blessing as many folks need or want cheaper fares.
I hope they can survive
Agreed honestly love family but do you really want to spend $800 for a holiday trip when I have flown to Europe and seen flights to Japan for less

The $1 massage chair had me rolling! Thanks for the laughs you two. Love the compare/contrast of the flights as you experience each segment!
Thought Suzanne was giving Jeb the dollar to to use at the massage chair, not because he *is* the massage chair 🤣🤣
Spirit Tip...if you can, buy the seat next to you. Makes a world of difference.
Worth every cent.
They have “Go Comfy” now where the middle seat is guaranteed to be open. Rows 4,5, & 6. Comes with carry on and beverage too
Bold move 🔥💯
On Spirit.. unless its the new economy+ seat option, in my experience someone will always attempt to sit in the seats you've purchased. And of course its the worst kind of people too 💩
I would rather pay 10x the price than fly spirit. Gross

So I went into the lounge and was stunned! They had showers, beds, food, drink, everything! In hindsight, now that I know more, I should have grabbed a shower and a nap in one of the small cot rooms. Instead, I imbibed because my doctoral classes didn't start until the next morning, and I wasn't driving.
I had heard that spirit now offers front row type seats with the middle blocked off. I know you have to pay extra but it sounds good
I love your channel!
I'm new here. I love everything you're teaching me, and the great information. Enjoy ☺️
That burger dripping hard. Also looking into flying business to Europe at some point down the road. I always like to check what kind of plane it is first just to get an idea before I get on. I do the same thing when traveling around the US. However we have one a350 from Atl to LA
Thank you so much for flying into BWI! I recently posted a tripreport on Spirit's A320NEO, and I can assure you that the traytables are NOT sturdy.
Great vlog as always! The U.S has been a graveyard for airplanes since the dereg act from 1979. I love old aircraft so I do not mind. 727 flying until 2005. DC-9 until past 2010. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Thank you! Great comparison. I'll continue to fly cheap domestically.
Please do a comparison between go big and go comfy vs the standard spirit experience
I fly CLT-SFO often. When work pay - AA up front for around $1500 return. When it’s not for work and I’m paying - Southwest for around $150. Which do I prefer? Strangely, Southwest. 16A or F which no one wants - you’ll get a whole spare row of legroom, and I bring my own food and drink. Their refund and bag policy is good too. We’ll see how things change next year with my unicorn seat.
Jeb, get back in there and finish that chair massage! LOL Love the cute interations. $50 for 2 meals at LAX? WOW has stuff gone nuts since I last flew there in 2021.
Delta should give you at least $3000 back for that flight on a plane older than both my rides combined (1 10 year old car, 1 23 year old car).
We just booked domestic first class as two one way flights on dofferent airlines, only because they were cheaper or about the same price as Southwest, who we were originally going to fly. Moral of the story, make sure to really compare costs. One of the first class flights I got cheaper than the economy plus... I'm still trying to figure out what the catch is...
Jeb, you will never catch me on any of those cheapass flights from Spirit or Southwest. I've been a Delta customer for many years. Some planes offer more bang for your buck than others, but all in all, I've never had many complaints.
Great video Jeb! Please do a South American Airlines experience with Avianca Latam and GOL
I think i'd be ok with choosing Spirit so as to save $$$$ to get to NYC from LAX for as little as possible, even if mean's roughing it., but paying $3000 on Delta like..... no way! (totally over-rated too) Awesome video here Jeb & Suzanne - my score for Jeb & Suzanne is 10/10🛫👍
Your thumbnails keep getting better and better! Keep up the amazing work Jeb!
Trying something a little different, thanks for your feedback!
That was a nice walkthrough on the difference. Business class is definitely not worth it unless your employer is buying. Even if you had the means to pay for it and wanted luxury for money, it would be cheaper to fly Spirit + have dinner at the nicest Steakhouse in Beverly Hills + sleep a night at the most luxurious hotel in LA than to buy that Delta One ticket. Delta also needs more of a push to clear out those crumbling 767-300 cabins. They're my favorite US airline, but for that journey I'd probably pick United or JetBlue over them, just because the hard product is so bad.
So tolerate, if not accept, flying becoming a winged Greyhound bus if our travel experience at the destination makes up for it? I was right about aviation becoming nothing more than a means to an end.
The Jeb sleeping shot was priceless
I've flown all the major airlines (not first class, though) and only recently tried out Spirit a few times. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into beforehand and arrive prepared, Spirit is a great option. They get you from point A to B for a fraction of the cost, and if you prep properly, you can still enjoy the snacks and entertainment you love (bring them with you). The idea of paying exorbitantly more of an experience that isn't THAT much nicer than Spirit seems crazy to me now. That being said, Spirit can get very expensive if you're not careful. Also, their seats get uncomfortable after the first 2 hours or less, so you have to readjust yourself every like 30 minutes (or just wear really comfy clothes to help).
Agree, most expensive definitely not worth 50 times the cheapest. Spirit seat looked very cramped but then difficult to argue with a $59 ticket. Delta Business seat/experience was good but $3K is an absurd price.
Jeb I have a question. I just booked Delta One JFK to LAX using miles just to visit both new Delta One Lounges at both Airports. I’m understanding you can visit both departing and arrival airports with Delta One. Do you have any input or affirmation on that? Thanks.
Not sure the rules on arrival. Report back!
An awesome video, as always! I love Delta but they are really shooting themselves in the foot by flying their historically old 767s on JFK-LAX, perhaps one of the most premium heavy flights in the world, when they have such better offerings on their newer widebody aircraft.
You should do another low cost airline Allegiant Frontier Spirit,and you should add Sun Country airlines to the mix
Hi Jeb, thanks once again for making me feel poor! 😂😂😂
-Great synchronizing ❤
-If I may ask, why some people’s faces get blurred, do they approach you and ask, or do you ask everyone if okay to be showcased?
-It’s really pleasant to see you both.
-Fifty bucks!!!
We don’t ask, and no one has ever asked us not to be shown. But if you can see someone’s face clearly in the footage we usually blur it since they didn’t ask to be in a video!
@@GreenerGrass my comment also had complements. So sad you only focused on my question. Which was out of solely curiosity, and no accusation.
@@joelcazares9986 And we definitely appreciate it! Just trying to answer your question. Thanks so much for your support and for watching!!
Another sensational video. You did make it hard to decide which airline to choose though.🤔🤔 Come and try some Aussie domestic flights. We get Spirit service for Delta price here since Covid. Love your stuff guys.
Well done seeing a comparison like this. That looks like the same Delta cabin I flew 9 years ago.
I travel alone and dislike sitting 3 across so I’d likely spend more than on Spirit Airlines.
Love it all. Love from Australia 😊😊
I thought delta doesn’t provide lounge access for domestic first? Or is it different for transcontinental routes like jfk-lax?
You’re correct! Delta does not include lounge access for domestic first class flights. However, they do provide it for flights branded as “Delta One.” That includes most international flights as well as some transcontinental flights like the one we were on. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Jeb
As a Canadian I have flown an airline called Porter.
It is a great airline with complimentary snacks and drinks as well as free beer and wine. I highly recommend it.
Hope to see you on it one day.
Love Porter, we flew it a loooong time ago and you can watch that video here: ruclips.net/video/PokekGdS1k0/видео.htmlsi=fqDY4UEd-bYEVEAT. Would love to try it again on the new E-jets tho!
Thanks for your reply Jeb. My 11 year old is taking over my RUclips account and he wrote that message to you-he’s a huge aviation geek. He’ll be thrilled to see your message!
Nice 'Comparo' Jeb between these two Airlines. Although, Spirit actually cost more than the $59 you mentioned because of their 'bag charge' of another $50 bucks, ='s $109 doesn't it? Both Spirit & Allegiant have 'hidden charges' that are NOT included in the so called "Low Fare" price. To be unfair, the Delta Lounge IS a nice luxury to be enjoyed before the flight, vs the looking for a quiet seat in the LAX waiting area with no amenities. I think it also matters with 'the pick of the pack', i.e. which plane did they put on this flight. Just maybe, the same flight the next day or week had a newer model flying the route? Where's the wider train cars?
I've been able to get the big front seats on Spirit for less than main cabin on Delta. For cases like that or quick weekend trips, Spirit is the best.
I absolutely love watching your videos and I love seeing you and Suzanne making these memories together and sharing with us. I’m so happy that I found your channel!
Not trying to disrespect anyone however I watch two of travelers but when their wives are in the video I don’t watch it.
Fun video!
That baby hand at the end! 😂😂😂
Are ya on a first name basis with TSA?🤭🤭 I always enjoy your videos.👍👍
Almost🤣
Turn the neck pillow around so that the open part is behind your head. It gives you more pillow space to lean and your head isnt pushed away from the seat cushion
I LOVE that Adidas jacket, Suzanne!!! I wear the same one all the time when I travel!
I tried to give you a thumbs up but my Samsung A05 is being annoying today so thumbs up. Great video
Hello Jeb. How are you both doing? I am interested in your immunity shot of ginger. What is that? Mahalo.
i like the video very much Jeb nice work
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Those Spirit seats ought to be illegal. Delta was a disgrace for the price.
Hi Jeb, love your content! This video made me wonder what the etiquette is in lounges? For example, when you ate at the sit-down restaurant in the DeltaOne Lounge, was there an expectation to tip servers? What about in other lounges? It may make for good episodes! Happy Flying!
Not sure if there was an expectation, but we did leave a tip
