My last exam is the 14th so I was planning on hopping on a flight on the 16th but Air JA never has good fares for Christmas/New Years travel. :angry:

Has anyone ever flown Spirit?

I hear more and more people are using that airline to go to JA. I need to check out their fares.

I used it to go to MoBay in February...they were really very good. The flight left from LGA ONTIME...got to Fort Lauderdale ON TIME...left FLL...ON-TIME and arrived in MoBay...ON-TIME! I also had all my bags and the flight is one of the earliest to get into MoBay so the crowds aren't too bad. But, someone told me they get frazzled around Christmas time and have an issue wid luggage arriving with the passenger. Plus, getting out of MoBay was a breeze. When everyone else was piled up by the AJ counters...spirit counters in MoBay were empty.

But, I tell you compared to AJ, I'm sorry to say, I will take my chances! I went down with them in June...can you say NIGHTMARE!!! First, we didn;t even use an AJ plane it was a charter North American plane...both going and coming back. Which left 1 and 1/2 late from JFK! They lost my son's suitcase...later found it in Miami and sent it down 2 days later! Then when it was time to go back. By the time we navigated deh HELL of a line to check-in, they were paging us to board the plane...oh and we got there 4 hours early. I would love to support my Country's Airline...but Customer Service is everything to me and AJ has ALOT to learn about Customer Service!!

Anyway...that's just my 2 cents!

True Kimmy, I think I had to pay $5-10 more for my second suitcase w/Spirit!

But, lawd deh lass time mi fly 'Di Market Bus' (AJ). The flight attendant asked my 6 year old son..."Yuh waan pissa cyake" -Jus' so!! He said excuse me? She just repeated..."Yuh... waan... fi... nyam... pissa... cyake... or bun?" I swear I was looking around for the video camera...cause you couldn't tell me I wasn't in a 'Oliver' episode!! :blink: When I finally translated for my son (who understands patois- but hers was BAD!!!) He turned to the attendant and said "Ohh, pissa cyake puhlease" - My youngest one is so facety(but mi didda haffi laugh still) Dyam outta order ,ooman! :lol:

the cheapest flight i can EVER find from here (I always fly out of charlotte NC) is with usair. they are definately skimpy on comfort, but hey im willing to save a couple hundred or so and skip the comfort.

Ahhhhhhh, that was so sweet of you! Ok, I'll check it out. What search engines did you use or what airlines?
