In defense of Spirit in particular, you just have to book with the expectation that you're going to pay a lot more than advertised. If you do then you can actually have a much better experience than the same amount of money at a lot of competitors. IOW if you can only afford $400 per ticket, booking Spirit can get you a lot further, with a lot more comfort and perks, than spending the same amount on United, American, and a lot of other airlines.
With a baby?!? You are my hero!!!Read hotel reviews - it needs to be clean and in a central location. Travel carry-on only - I do laundry on longer trips and have packed for 3 week trips in just carry-on, even with a baby.
I try to avoid Heathrow for the same reason.I avoid the Toronto airport, not a good experience there.
This. I never get people that go to a new state or country, and then go to places like McDonalds or Subway.Never eat something we can get at home.
Is this the same as "When in Rome"?Assimilate to the location visiting.
Sometimes it's fun to see the difference. Dunkin Donuts is so much better in Spain, for example. One even had ice cream!This. I never get people that go to a new state or country, and then go to places like McDonalds or Subway.
Right now there's a guy running around the streets of Venice looking for an Olive Garden.
I can understand if:
1. You arrive late in the day to your destination and need a quick and easy fix.
2. The franchise in your area stinks, but you hear the local one is really good.
3. Poor weather limits your choices.
4. You're evading an spirit-possessed fetish doll that wants to stab your ankles, and you need to duck inside Applebee's. Honestly I make this mistake even at home.
I agree. I mean some places are the same regardless of where you go (Subway and Burger King for example) but Mcdonalds has different items depending on where you are and quality varies quite a bit. Mcdonalds in Japan for example is WAY better than in the US and in Germany you can get Doner kebabs and paprika fries.Sometimes it's fun to see the difference.

We hit Dunkin and BK a few times in Granada because everything shuts down in the afternoon there and we needed something to tide us over until we could eat dinner at 9pm. They were the only places still open and serving food.
SPAIN has a Dunkin Donuts? Whoaaaaaa.Sometimes it's fun to see the difference. Dunkin Donuts is so much better in Spain, for example. One even had ice cream!

That's a good point. KFC is a whole new animal in Japan too.I agree.

I wonder if this is for all flights or international/domestic specifically? I usually fly out of LAX because the flights are cheaper but they are pretty organized and I never have an issue.No flying out of LAX.
Agree on Spirit - I've seen too many videos on Instagram. I'm also definitely not a person who can camp.Never fly Spirit or any other discount airline. For land travel, the bigger the vehicle the better. No sleeping on the ground, in a tent, or in a car. It's got to be comfortable.
