Full Flight: Spirit Airlines A319 Pittsburgh to Los Angeles (PIT-LAX)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2019
- Hey guys! In this full flight video, I travel on a Spirit Airlines A319 on route from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, California! Yep...that's right, over 5 hours on Spirit :D But it wasn't as bad as it could've been with excellent scenery and views outside of the Rockies and more, as well as an empty middle seat which is always nice. Honestly, because Spirit is an ULCC which has no WiFi, no legroom, no seatback pocket, no free snacks, no free luggage, no IFEs, etc. if you can have a flight during the day, it really makes it a whole lot better. Now, obviously, the cheap price on Spirit makes all the difference between me choosing something like Alaska or Delta cross-country, so you gotta accept the limitations sometimes. Hope you guys enjoy this transcontinental flight aboard an ultra low cost carrier!

I laughed at the part where the flight attendant was like “we got here 45 minutes early so next time we’re 2 hours late we’ll call it even” 😂
Nothing better than being on your way to vacation and watching the sunrise over the plane!!!
"Not sure why all the Delta jets were getting de-iced and we weren't..." - that's the difference between you and me. I'd be screaming "Stop the plane!!!!"
Or maybe it costs too much to de-ice a ULCC?
It’s possible this airplane came in from somewhere else about an hour before and didn’t sit all night and accumulate frost on the wings. Ever think about that? Look at the wing at 13:09. It’s clean. No need to de-ice.
This video gave my day even more light!😃
Nice video. Just fyi, there used to be pockets on the seats back in the days of the inflight magazines. These have gone away due to publishing and distribution costs, and the pockets became receptacles for gum, leftovers, trash, and worse. No pockets, no mess, no problems. Only bungees to hold the FAA required passenger safety information cards. Similarly, the large tray tables also caused problems. They were always getting broken, and people would put computers on them and bang on them and disturb the people in front of them, causing inflight altercations. So the things that the author wants aren't missing because Spirit is behind the times. The items are missing due to Spirit's experience of having had them. These new seats also reduce the weight of each aircraft by over 2,000 lbs, resulting in significant fuel savings across the fleet. When it comes to seating, Spirit's attitude is that this is as modern as it gets. Don't expect them to address complaints in this area. This is the new normal. If the seats ever do get changed out, it will only be in favor of the next generation of smaller and lighter.
Great views, great video!!! Thanks for sharing, really enjoy your knowledge and videos!
You're brave for being on spirit for 5 hours. I could barely last 1.5 hours without my butt hurting 😫
😫😫😫😫😫
It’s not that bad if ur small lmao
I lasted six hours lax to ohio spirit a321
At least when u land it's will be BUTTER
@@camileshakakeesic4421 I keep hearing that Spirit airlines is not well liked by many, but why? I have seen in a few videos that their tray tables are the tiniest I've ever seen, their seatback pockets are literally a couple of ropes, and that the seats don't recline at all. But, since most US domestic flights don't serve meals anymore anyway, do you need a bigger table? Most US airlines no longer have magazines so do we need seatback pockets? And, I've seen that the seats that don't recline are actually already fixed in the reclined positions, so, unlike other airlines, at least you can stay slightly reclined even at takeoff and landing. So, what exactly is so bad about Spirit airlines?
This was honestly the best NK flight you’ve filmed!
Ah I take my previous comment about the sunrise back..... for a nervous flyer like me, touchdown is the best part lol
Great video! Love watching these.
What I learned from my time deicing at PIT was it all depends on where the plane parks overnight. When I was there, Spirit was still in concourse D.
Glad you enjoy them! Yah you are correct, but most of the time they have their set gates. Spirit used to be at D for a while, now switched to B cause of the impending construction at the C and D gates
@@thejazzguy13 how do you like spirit airlines
I think this is your best flight video yet. The footage of the Rockies at sunrise absolutely stunning. I assume this flight was after the switch to DST. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy them!
Wow what a quick departure, taxis right onto what I'm assuming is Runway 28R (barely know anything about PTI Airport) and then starts its departure. Nice!
I just loved and quite a laugh out of how you described the seat and especially the "adult sized tray table you found on this flight. I remember very well the other video of yours I watched where you described the "baby sized tray table" on that flight. This one actually looked smaller. I could tell when the video first showed the seat back that this tray table definitely was not very large. Enjoy watching your videos though.
😂 Can't make a Spirit vid without a little sarcasm
Ok thanks for the video it is awsome and it makes me want to go to puerto rico
Pretty cool you went to in n out after the flight! The one you would have really enjoyed is the one on the other side of LAX where they all land close by on runway 24R, I’ve been there many times!
I really really love super early flights for some reason
I think LA always looks it's best in the morning.
They seem to cancel a lot less flights in the morning compared to the afternoon
This is the Ryan Air of the U,S.
Nice video! Spirit seems to be a decent low-cost airline besides having bad leg room and seat design.
Thank you! Yah they're definitely not the worst ULCC in the US, but red eye flights on them are torture
thejazzguy13 Aviation I was on spirit back to Atlanta and they said the are making an upgrade with TVs and stuff so tickets are going to go up higher
@@HaroldWasTaken TVs? Yeah right probably trying to make you go on it more.
@@kquttersanford3635 Ikr I went on a flight a year later no upgrade no TVs the only thing that changes was the seats it just looked fancy and had a paint job
@@kquttersanford3635 can't even get wifi on the flights or charging ports...nvm tvs
IN N OUT great choice! I actually work at LAX :) great video!
Im leaving to LA.California in 1 day in the spirit plane!!!! Yaaaayyyyy
Bro spirit be buttering there planes like crazy
Butter landing. Nice video
Thanks!
"Not sure why all the Delta airplanes are getting de-iced while ours isn't" probably for Spirit to save money of course! Fr though, your A/C may have arrived in as a red-eye instead of spending the night at PIT so that may be why lol
Haha honestly, but ya that is most likely the case
lol yellow school bus i love this u tuber
Wow fs2020 looks rlly good
“Here’s my yellow school bus over to LA”
Well, considering how basic the airline is, you can call it a school bus 😂
"Spirit is a ULCC which has no WiFi, no legroom, no seatback pocket, no free snacks, no free luggage, no IFEs, etc." This enables cheaper tickets which allow for people to fly from point A to point B who might not otherwise be able to afford to, and there is nothing wrong with that. The airline is upfront about it and you as a passenger know you are only getting what you are paying for. That said, what has impressed me about your flights on Spirit Airlines are the courteous and sometimes humorous cabin crews and especially the smooth take-offs and virtual, to absolutely perfect landings !! I see on-line Spirit Airlines has a fleet of 137 aircraft, 9 x A319-100, 64 x A320-200, 34 x A320neo, and 30 x A320-200 with an average age of its aircraft at 5.6 years and getting younger as new aircraft are delivered. I see it placed a new order with Airbus for 100 mixed A320neo aircraft family in January. According to Airbus the "neo" aircraft confirmed orders on its books yet to be delivered to Spirit Airlines are 41 x A319neo, 65 x A320neo, and 20 x A321neo aircraft. Airbus advises their A320neo family compared to their base model A320 family is 50% quieter, 20% more fuel-efficient, and more environmentally friendly engines, with all neo's offering longer range, larger overhead cabin bins, mood lighting. On the safety side, since its start-up in 1980, Spirit has kept an accident-free record with an ever-growing passenger base. In 2015 alone, Spirit safely delivered nearly 18 million passengers - a 25% increase from 2014. So, looking from the outside in, you have a carrier with a modern well-maintained fleet, investing in new equipment ( to keep it ahead of emission level and noise restriction standards, and plans for conservative growth ) that has an excellent safety record. Crew/Staff/Employee comments: Spirit is overall one of the most flexible companies to work for (i.e. work/life balance). Health and Flight Benefits but the pay is less than most other mainline US carriers. I believe the latter is true with all low-cost carriers. On the financial side in 2020, as a direct result of COVID-19, the airline recorded a $428.7 million net loss with assets valued at $8,399 million. This compared to an over $335 million profit in 2019. Spirit Airlines had liabilities of US$1.30b falling due within a year, and liabilities of US$4.86b due beyond that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of US$2.05b as well as receivables valued at US$198.1m due within 12 months. 2021 while off to a rough start has shown the situation is now picking up. I believe Spirit Airlines is here for the long term. Thank you for your reviews, which encourage me to look into an airline I knew very little about
I hadn't been on a plane in over forty years when I took an airplane last week and it was Spirit. Not too fond of flying, it did make me feel better when I did the research to find that Spirits planes were almost new compared to some of the Legacy carriers who had planes still flying at 25 years old. Also they don't use the 737 Max. On arrival in Fort Lauderdale the weather was poor so the pilot had to circle the airport a couple of times before he got cleared to land. And then when he landed we had to sit on the tarmac for an hour till the storm blew over. None of this was Spirits fault but they sent me a $50 voucher for a future flight because of this 'inconvenience' they said. They have a regular passenger in me from now on.
LA❤
@thejazzguy13_Aviation What Camera do you use?
iPhone X and Canon Powershot SX610HS for this vid
Do u get WiFi on the plane? Probably a stupid question but I'm stupid to flying so ya?
Spirit is the American version of the uk Ryanair
Julie is catch the next flight headed to LAX/Los Angeles, California. May 30, 2020 - Southwest Airlines
Will be flying in to lax in june heading up to Seattle
The LA Chargers are also going too play in the stadium under construction.
Lol you're right...wish they were still in SD though
Man long flight plus a big time change left a 6 am est and landing 8 am pst.
Omar Swearingen flight time is 5 hours 45 minutes with a 3 hour time zone difference. LA is 3 hours behind Pitt.
@@rapman5363 I know
5:06 ever be looking at the board like this and the flight right above or below yours is cancelled and you sweat bullets for like half a second thinking your flight is cancelled? lol
That legroom is tight. How tall are you?
@thajazzguy13 only a few straps on the a319? duuumb
Ironic that only the three US ULCCs (Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant) would put in a tiny metal tray table. The other ULCCs worldwide have actual tray tables.
They had music playing when you got in the plane
I survived on spirit Portland to Orlando stop over in denver
Hi sam!
Bad luck for Southwest passengers headed for Vegas at 7:20am
I ride spirit airlines La to Pittsburgh same.
9:03 door chime of an old car?
LAS to LAX
Hi Los Angeles CA!
Do you take video on an iPhone?
For this video, yes. Currently shooting more on a Canon G7X nowadays
thejazzguy13 Aviation thanks.
2:26 i had a 515 am boarding time, and i didnt get to the airport until about 415. You shouldnt have to get up at 230 to make a 6 am flight.
edit: but then again, security is not busy at a national airport at 4 am...
Can’t wait till all there planes get wifi. It’s 6.95 so a pretty good deal
I have to fly in November out of Pittsburgh on the Airbus A320 hoping they get WiFi soon
Long flight
Is physical therapy needed after flying Spirit Airlines?
Strongly recommended 🤫
i have been on a spirit plane to lego land up in florida.
My fly every time i go to a Pittsburgh Steelers game....
Go Steelers!
full flight to become a spirit
I'm such a nervous flyer
14:13 you have to pay for the de-icing
You weren't getting de-iced because spirit is a low cost carrier. They gotta save wherever they can
Los Angeles 964,00 motels houses. Keys.
But my gate is D83 I ride two years ago with my family
First
Second! :P
fly to omaha sometime please
thejazzguy13 Aviation Can you just block this kid from commenting on your videos already? So annoying!
Cup of Noodles definitely not worth $4. And I have never heard of a flight getting in so early their gate wasn't open yet.
It happens often. You obviously don’t fly a lot.
Hi
"Want me to check your bag in for you, that's gonna be $35"
And another $20 for actually checking in the bag.
the flight attendant was tired
Nothing personal but maybe your a bit of a winer just saying✌😎
I am telling you right now😮😡😭
Most airline employees make minimum wage while pilots live comfortably on six figure incomes
Spritit plane.
The
LA was a great place in the 60s 70s and 80s.. Then became crap in the late 90s.. And I never liked LAX it was made for DC 4s and 7s I called it the Winchester mystery house airport they just put gates all over the place where you needed to take a bus to get to them.. Real stupid.. And for the video way to many ads it's like watching TV now..
Spirit seems like one of the worst companies. Though I've only used American Airlines, which I haven't had any trouble with at all, so I don't know anything other than them.
Well only thing good about Spirit is their prices, besides that they're definitely worse than American, so better stick with them :D
You are correct. Spirit is terrible.
Yes such a terrible airline! You picked the flight to LA strictly for the cost so you know you’re not flying first class. It an A319 with cramped seating and a small tray table. Maybe that’s what makes them terrible. The plane was ready at the gate on arrival. The plane took off on time. The plane flew you safely across the country ....you arrived safely at your destination 45 minutes early. Yep what a shitty airline....get a clue!
@@rapman5363 I never picked anything.
The Big 3 are just as shitty...they just have the bells and whistles to make people not give a crap as much as long as people get there bag of peanuts they're happy
I don’t have the balls to fly with spirit 😩🤢🤢
lots of false info presented in this clip, if you dont know something just it keep it shut
