I thought about getting the Big Front Seat on my trip report with Spirit, doesn't look like I missed out on much. Crazy about the fight, in my flight there was around 6 crying babies, it would of been full civil war if a fight broke out.
Awesome trip report, I personally don’t understand people complaining so harshly about screaming babies, they do also need to get to their destinations quickly...
I can't believe I'm just finding your channel after years of Josh, Noel and Sam's channels. Gotta tell you, the quality of your videos is superb. I live in Las Vegas so I enjoyed this one especially. I'm happy you got to land from the north flying along the Strip instead of the normal landing from the east. It's stunning at night. I'm gonna binge some more now. I've also subscribed so anxious to see what's coming in the future. Thanks again for the great videos.
what a crazy flight...mr dan would have tripped at that door gap....i agree ....not much COVID deep cleaning....BUT A DAMM GOOD DEAL on the ticket....thanks for the trip cool Q
Great review! You were there the day before I went back to work haha. Gate B32 is where AAL11 left from. UAL175 actually departed from gate C19 that day. UA was in the C terminal then. We no longer use the high B gates so our memorial for flight 11 was at gate B11 this year.
I love your videos! They always have top tier production quality and very in depth reviews! Thank you for continuing to create great content even though flying is definitely a hassle right now!!
Thanks Quintin for sharing this video. I’ve never flown Spirit and have vowed never to fly them. But, a quick round trip to Vegas from SMF for 40 bucks, how bad can it be? I will find out on Halloween! 🎃
I was SUPPOSED to flight Spirit once from Islip to West Palm. The flight was $45 , so I figures lets give them a shot. The flight was at 12pm on a clear day, but the plane never arrived at the airport and the flight was cancelled at 6pm. I booked the 8pm flight on Southwest from Islip to West Palm. I will not be flying Spirit again.
I've traveled from Denver to Vegas several times. Now, I am a snob about my comfort so I've always booked the "Big" seat. I haven't ever had a bad experience and knew about the pricing. I've found that considering the cost I now will either fly Southwest or 1st class United for about $150 more.
You’re not kidding, that jet bridge gap when boarding at BOS was huge, looked very scary and dangerous! That was something about the meltdown inflight over a crying baby and someone kicking the seat!
you tube recommended I watch this again, so I did. I guess they thought I would enjoy it the second time as much as I did the first, and they were right. who doesn't enjoy dirty trays piss on the floor and passenger fights? lol good vid qman!
I flew Spirit ONCE from TPA to ATL just to get out of the path of incoming Irma. For an hour and fifteen minutes flight: it was torture. The cramped seat (I'm 6'4") the packed plane, the hassle. I won't do it again. Way too stressful. I'm just glad my day (or night) got alot less stressful when I got to my hotel in Atlanta. Lol
Flying with spirit is definitely the lowest cost. You may have to pay for snacks but it’s definitely the biggest variety. Use the bathroom in the airport before boarding. Bring headphones. Meditate a little before boarding. And you’ll survive spirit. And it’ll be worth it in the end cuz you save a literally a few hundred dollars.
who needs an Ife screen when you got onboard entertainment like dirty tray tables, piss on the floor, and a fight. I remember following this on FR24 but I didn't know you were having that much fun lol. great report and thanks for sharing. Fly safe my friend
Great video. Never been on spirit airlines. You have a good voice you should consider narrating your videos, kind of like Sanspotter or other RUclipsrs do. Thank for sharing your videos with us.
Nice video Q! Here in Brazil, when there's an argument like that on the plane we say "que barraco!" - I really don't know how to translate into a proper English expression! Thanks for sharing!
Only time I ever flew Spirit was round trip between Atlantic City and Fort Myers last year. I got a skittles livery plane on the way down and a taxi cab livery on the way back. Definitely prefer the skittles livery! Not shocked about the fight, seems par for the course with Spirit. How many times did they advertise their rewards program throughout the flight? Awesome video, keep up the good work!!
Just bought my tickets for this summer on an Spirit A320 from Atlanta to Las Vegas, and decided to spoil myself with the Big Front Seat upgrade roundtrip. Cost $80 on the way there, and $101 on the way back. I've never had a flying experience that was totally hellish and uncomfortable, so I'm hoping the BFS will change that!
Never having flown Spirit,I can't say much about them but for what you paid to fly cross-country, even with the BFS, the fare is super cheap! Interesting how you remarked about how expensive inflight food is, yet you went ahead anyway with that muffin and Coke--that's in addition to your BOS terminal food purchase. Since Spirit ditched physical menus, if one does not have a smartphone such as you do,how does one order food? I enjoyed your 'at home' commentary about the argument behind you,your attire said 'East Hampton',which I believe is on the far end of Long Island,a pricey place to live. I'm assuming you flew DL ATL-BOS,had some connecting time at BOS before this Spirit flight--did you overnight at one of the Strip hotels?
Ive been flying spirit for a while, and ive never had any major issues on any of my flights, The airplane is however "Bare Fare" their old slogan and you get what you pay for. I have sat in the "Big Front Seat" before and it was totally worth it and it made the trip easier. I think once spirit gets wifi in its fleet it would make trips better. the one thing i hate is when they advertise the credit card in the air. Comparted to other airlines you have to know how to travel with spirit, pack light, don't have multiple bags, just your one checked bag and "personal item". now 1 personal is truly ONE ITEM, ladies or gents if you have a purse , they will count the purse as a personal item. Overall I would give spirit a 6/10 just based on my flights I've had. No delays, no cancels, no problems with crew or plane, passengers and babies dont count.
I know I’m in the minority on here, but I quite like Spirit. Perhaps I’m lucky just to never have had a bad experience. I tried the big front seat this week and loved it. It’s a ridiculous amount of legroom for what was still just a $250 5-hour flight. I guess if you just sleep on flights like me it might be okay that there isn’t any entertainment 😁
Here’s a hint, if you don’t wanna hear a crying baby then wear some headphones or earplugs to block out the noise! Have some respect for people traveling with babies.
I’ve been an Airline pilot for 13 years and those that say Delta this or Southwest that, don’t fly often enough to understand the business model here. You’re paying for a 5 hour flight across the United States and the only difference between those other airlines is WiFi, a seat that reclines 4 extra degrees, and stale pretzels + coke that are free. Otherwise pay $1,000 for first class on Delta or burn your credit miles etc. If you think the traveling public from airline to airline is that different you are mistaken. I’ve flown thousands of hours on every airline on the continent and each flight has there “special folks” on board. Oh and people Pee on the floor on AA, United, and Delta flights😂 just FYI.
Public transportation is what it is, whether airlines, motorcoach, or train. First Class in a pod will indeed give you a little more personal space than economy, but you're still travelling with strangers.
Great trip report ma man! I flew in 2D as well and as much as spirit is shitty the old Econ seats (same as the aircraft you were on) were 10x better than their non-existent trey tables/flat seats🙄
I like how he said it’s disorganized cause I lost my job because how disorganized it was, TSA was able to get through several times... but anyways I did my time and I’mma take that experience that I gained to another airline
FYI... Spirit Airlines also has A319 and A321 type of aircrafts and some with NEO's. Unfortunately, you flew on their older model aircraft. The newer aircrafts with the yellow livery is beautiful and modern. Sorry you didn't have a great experience.
If you can travel with nothing more than a decently sized bookbag or similar size bag, and can book well in advance and don't need flexible tickets, Spirit can often offer a huge price advantage over any of the other carriers flying the same route.
I avoid Spirit like the plague. The Ryanair of the US. Low fares like that normally have people you don't necessarily want to be flying with on your flight (as you saw). I luckily don't have that problem with Southwest but I'd prefer to pay a premium to fly another airline like Delta.
I would never fly with Spirit. The people standing to fight over a crying baby and the pissy bathroom tells you all you need to know about this airline.
I just took a trip to vegas with spirit & it really wasnt that bad. Only gripe i may have is the seating. Going to vegas was virtually problem-free. Coming back home, my leg was a little cramped (im 5'10ish) but not excruciating. I guess the folks complaining are the bougie type. Only thing that matters most to me is getting to my destination & back home safely.
I flew Spirit back when i was 16 and it was HORRIBLE. Fast forward..... I'm 28 and I still refuse to fly with them. The Skittles livery is one of my favorites.
Inflight entertainment: 10/10
Reason: onboard fight
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
lmao

Nice video! I would just love more “post flight” of maybe exiting the arrival airport so we can see the process of getting bags and taxi
Awesome trip report, I personally don’t understand people complaining so harshly about screaming babies, they do also need to get to their destinations quickly...
That's what noise cancelling headphones are for
Thanks QFS !!!

Hey, it gets you where you need to go so you cant complain.
Spirit Airlines. More like Nigga airlines.

2:36 I prefer that livery over their yellow & black one.
Good video! Hopefully you make it up to Alaska again!
I LOVE SPIRITS NEW LIVERY!
This is the old livery. The newer planes are all yellow

I enjoyed watching the report. 👍👍 You're so cool granting them a 10/10 rating for their inflght entertainment 😊👍
Bro that landing music is a whole vibe I’m going to Vegas next month any special places to see or things to do during covid
I can't wait to fly spirit in a month. I hope my flight is as entertaining as yours.

I don't understand why the cabin crew didn't check the lavatory. Were they too busy?
Spirit also flies the A319 and A321
Inflight entertainment: 10/10 (onboard fight)
SHEEEEEEESH.
Love you’re videos! Glad you flew out of my home airport!
Didn't know Spirit was still flying at least one of their jets with the old livery. That was nice.
They have several
Here’s a hint, if you don’t wanna hear a crying baby then wear some headphones or earplugs to block out the noise! Have some respect for people traveling with babies.
lol
I fly with Delta and alaska
And yes I where headphones so I won't hear the baby Aka angels cry.
Thank you for continuing making great videos for us during these hard times. Keep safe, and keep traveling!
are you flying to RNO after?

I’m never going on Spirit lol but this one was too funny with the fight 😂

Where did you get a lot of money?
Piss on the bathroom floor and trashy people getting into fights, upholding Spirit’s great name lol. No thanks!!❤️👍✈️
i heard the old old interior of spirit has uncomfortable seats but full sized tray tables from thejazzguy13 travelling on spirit
What would you say is worse? Allegiant or Spirit?
Great trip report ma man! I flew in 2D as well and as much as spirit is shitty the old Econ seats (same as the aircraft you were on) were 10x better than their non-existent trey tables/flat seats🙄
Can you fly the jetblue a321neo please!
i heard concourse B in Boston is the worst terminal due to how narrow it is according to Aviation Abbey
1:58
If I'm not mistaken, I believe they have A321s as well. But yeah, they're an all Airbus fleet.
But it said a320 family
I thought spirit did some A321s?
Spirit really gets a bad rep, I actually quite enjoy flying them and their first class product is superior.
Anyways, amazing trip report Fam!

Cool you caught the Jet blue red sox logo plane
1:28 B-32 has a flag honoring American flight 11
when i came into land in las vegas it was from the east and and saw the strip while taxiing and saw it taking off runways 25L and R
Within the airline industry, Spirit is referred to as "The Greyhound Bus of the Skies"
I like this new livery, I couldn't get with the yellow
what hotel did u stay at in Las Vegas
@QFS Aviation lets
edit out the crying baby fight part
I like how he said it’s disorganized cause I lost my job because how disorganized it was, TSA was able to get through several times... but anyways I did my time and I’mma take that experience that I gained to another airline
Ngl that muffin should've costed $1.50 deadass!! Did it taste good?
Flying one of the worst airlines lol 😂 nice vid man!
Ha ha ha!
The Boeing Fan I know it was only a joke ok 👌 I’m sorry if I was making fun of spirit
The Boeing Fan Thanks man
Faster than horseback! 🐴
Southwest is second
9:45 Man I just love those little timelapses they are wonderful and also Great video
FYI... Spirit Airlines also has A319 and A321 type of aircrafts and some with NEO's. Unfortunately, you flew on their older model aircraft. The newer aircrafts with the yellow livery is beautiful and modern. Sorry you didn't have a great experience.
@4:12 anyone know the name of that song???
also fly to Siberia sometime as well after covid 19
if Spirit are faamous for delays why fly with them? this is a valid question so please answer it
If you can travel with nothing more than a decently sized bookbag or similar size bag, and can book well in advance and don't need flexible tickets, Spirit can often offer a huge price advantage over any of the other carriers flying the same route.
Q, you couldn't get me on a Spirit flight if you paid me! I'd rather walk to Vegas from Boston, lol. What a contrast compared to Alaska and jetBlue.
Amazing video, as always! Keep up the good work! :D
are you excited that the Big Ten is resuming college football on October 24th #GBR Go Nebraska Cornhuskers
8:55 a wonderful day on the neighborhood
Yikes!! Spirit!! Well, I love their Airbus A320-200🙂

Love it keep u the good work

I flown Spirit once from DFW-BWI and we had a 18 hours delay and they gave me a $150 food coupon
Wow, no six-feet rule during boarding. Now, I know why our cases keep increasing.
Good job!
Is it the airline or the passengers? Chicken or the egg?
So the whole bathroom floor was yellow just like Spirit lol
But the fight was iconic 🤣
awesome video! even though i don’t like spirit 😂
Damn.. they didn’t do a good job of docking the JetBridge to the plane at all, with that sizeable gap
I see there cleaning reflects how low cost they are, that plane looked visible dirty, not a pretty sight to see.
a319 and a321 sir
i fly spirit from boston to ft myers fl all the time they are much cheaper then jet blue !
But much worse
I would never fly with Spirit. The people standing to fight over a crying baby and the pissy bathroom tells you all you need to know about this airline.
They are a good airline i dont get whats so wrong about them
I just took a trip to vegas with spirit & it really wasnt that bad. Only gripe i may have is the seating. Going to vegas was virtually problem-free. Coming back home, my leg was a little cramped (im 5'10ish) but not excruciating. I guess the folks complaining are the bougie type.
