Best seats on Spirit flight?

[chrisann]

we're leaving drom dtw to mco and I'm wondering if the front or the back of the plane is better. There's very limited seats to choose from so my options are limited.

Here's a really handy site I bookmarked after a kind soul on this page brought it to my attention:

Seat Guru.com

The link I gave you specifically refers to the Spirit Air planes (we fly Song and JetBlue, generally). I hope that helps.

Backs are a little bumpier in my opnion. They are boarded first tho - I like the front, but my husband swears the best seats are over the wing. -- he is a flying nut - love everything about flying - I hate it. If my nerves would settle enough to sleep I would. I wish they offered sleeping gas - then the seat wouldnt matter

I have sat in front (first class) and back (spent too much for the back seat too) and over the wing. The best seat for me would be on a train hehehehe

But the answer your looking for for spirit should be front or over the wing. Others may disagree.

spirit has nice syber specials this week...

FYI-
Delta boards from the front of the plane back.

I have flown spirit many times and have found that the back of their planes are very, very loud.

We just flew Spirit in June - and sat in rows 11 (going) and 12 (coming back). Really smooth flight - didn't notice noise or anything.

Spirit flies MD-80 airplanes. The engines are located "outside" the rear fuselage as opposed to under the wings. As a result, the rear of the plane does tend to be a bit louder.

I wouldn't say it's any bumpier or smoother and last time I checked, the folks up front had to fly through the same air that the folks in the back were flying through so I'm sure the bumps (or lack thereof) are pretty consistent throughout!

As mentioned earlier, the best bet would be to go to www.seatguru.com. It is a great site to check out.

We got to sit in the Exit rows which was very very roomy! They were rows 20 and 21, I think.
