How To Fly FIRST CLASS on Spirit Airlines

Every airline has pros and cons. You just have to know each carriers’ rules and weigh what matters to you. I’ve flown Spirit many times, often in the Big Front Seat. Most recently it was seeing family - Delta wanted $847 round trip while Spirit was $234 round trip with a big front seat both ways. $600 is a lot of money. In another instance Spirit and Delta were within $25. I took Delta.

You should do a Delta hub hopping ATL-JFK-BOS-DTW-MSP-SLC-SEA to name a few. The United one was cool.

I love Suzanne getting more camera time, she’s so wonderful!!!! In the pre Covid days, I was able to buy a round trip ticket at the spirit counter from ACY-FLL for $52. Probably my best flight experience ever since it was so cheap

Also advice to others flying Spirit, bring an external phone battery channel to keep your devices charged. Helped out a lot when I was on Spirit last week

Great review. I can promise you that your flight attendant didn’t just decide not to show up. That would likely mean getting fired. They had to call out a reserve, and when they are called, they have 2 hours to report to the airport. Having one show up in only an hour is actually pretty good

Most airlines when it comes to crew reserves have a 2 hour call out. So depending on what time they got called will determine when they are there.

5:31 "If you are in your seat, please keep your seatbelts fastened." I know what he meant by this, but I love how it sounds like you can just choose to stand for the flight.

Four years ago I flew Spirit from Las Vegas to San Diego, then San Diego to Houston a few days later. I paid for big upfront seats and a checked bag on both flights, and still paid a lot less than the other airlines wanted for the same routing, and I wouldn't have had a big, comfortable seat with the other airlines! I had a great couple of flights. 😊

“Flight attendant came strolling up” - as an airline crew member, I must stress to please consider whether that is the original crew member. Often we are on reserve, and called to the airport at all hours of the day. Multiple times I wasn’t told the flight was late, and one time they gave me a completely wrong time. Finally, an hour to be called, run to the airport, go through security, and get to the gate is pretty good.

A lot of people Poo Poo SPIRIT but I for one find them to be a refreshing alternative to high priced airlines. I first flew them in the thick of Quarantine so even the high priced airlines had nothing to offer in First Class other than a bigger seat. Being a big guy, that is mostly what I look for. The big front seats are just fine for me. And my first experience cost me $400 as opposed to a $4000 alternative with the major airlines. So for the savings, I could bring my own snacks and bottle of water or soda AND I rarely use in flight entertainment, resorting to using my phone or Ipad. So I give them two thumbs up!

It's important to note that it's not 1 FA per 50 pax; it's 1 FA per 50 seats as per the FAA & some flights are not full. Also, it may have been a reserve or ready reserve FA that ended up being the 3rd FA on your flight.

I love Spirit’s livery. Reminds me of when my dad worked for Hughes Airwest. Loved seeing the “flying banana” in the air.

As a Canadian, I once flew NYC to Myrtle Beach. The flight arrived right on time and I loved it. I really never understood what was so bad about it-.

Just had an amazing experience in September flying big front seat for cheap. I booked my ticket at the ticket counter and also used the bid up feature to score myself a big front seat on my way down to Vegas from Seattle.

Wow!!!! I love how tried so hard to make a less good airline cool. To my knowleadge you did it pretty well!! Excellent video Jeb.

surreal seeing this, I've made this EXACT flight multiple times a year since I was probably 11. Spirit definitely only works if you have firm expectations set, all they expect you to do is know the baggage requirements, find your own way to the gate, and get in. On the plus side, flying with literally any carrier when I get the rare chance to feels like 1st class every time, because I grew up knowing I had to shell out allowance even if I wanted a Sprite and making EXTRA sure my phone was charged lol. But when you can get a flight that's literally cheaper than the gas it would take to get to MYR from SE Pennsylvania where I lived, for 9x less time, it's totally worth it. Bonus points for how stress free ACY, since it's not as popular as an airport.

I actually can't count how many times I laughed out right loud during this video - y'all have so much fun, and I had so much fun watching!

LOL. I actually just flew out of AC to FL (and back again). I have to say I love that airport and I LOVE flying with spirit. You can't beat the price and the staff are always nice.

I LOVE how Suzanne has been an increasingly more present feature of the channel. You guys are such an awesome couple. I fly a lot, I hope I run into you one of these days so I can buy you a G&T. Cheers, Jeb!!

Anyone else love seeing their local regional airport get some love on Jeb's channel? Thanks for stopping by the Jersey Shore this summer guys!
