Spirit follows Ryanair, now charging for drinks, ALL checked baggage

Let me say that "Big Fancy Seat" sounds like such a turn off!!! We were Spirit Plus flyer's also. When I read they changed this name I thought how silly sounding!

Our trip is in november. (5 of us going) Spirit had no flights available for november until just recently. Well a month or two ago I was trigger happy and couldnt wait. I just had to buy our plane tickets. I fly "first" class because its comfortable for me (I'm pooh sized). So Spirit Plus was a great cheap way to fly. My trigger finger caused me to book with Northwest first class tickets roudntrip Detroit-orlando for $500 each. The other day spirit released november flights/prices and for RT on "Big Fancy Seat" was $800 each. So I feel a bit better now for jumping the gun.

I will say every flight with spirit has been very pleasent. I have been very happy with them. This time I just went another way. I wonder what the future holds...?

Actually I made that name up, the real one is something equally bad compared to Spirit Plus.

I almost jumped on those 500 1st class tickets(DH is 6'4" and my 10 yr old is
5'2") but DH was eagerly waiting for Spirit to come out with November rates.

Is there a Kick yourself smiley?

Oh yes I agree..... Sorry I didnt notice you swapped front/fancy out haha. Their version makes it sound like I can now be "a grown up toddler" Hahaha. BLah, what was spirit thinking!? "hey lets make it sound bad and jack up the fares!"

No no.. no kick yourself smiley. I'm sure you didnt take those 500 1st class seats because there is some other good deal coming your way for plane tickets... **fairy dust fairy dust fairy dust**

haha, honestly I wish you the best with that. Where are you from? What dates are your november vist? Where will you be staying at for your visit?

We're going down for Thanksgiving(Saturday-Friday) staying at SSR. I'm from the lovely city of Perrysburg,OH. Takes me about 45min-1hr to be on Metro property.
