What does Spirit Airlines have in common with a carnival barker? My first flight with Spirit Airlines will definitely be my last. Like the carnival barker while on-line shopping for the best cost effective flight, the pricing of the ticket and the promise from their website(the barker) of a great airline providing low cost air travel turned out to be a joke. Once the ticket is purchased I find out I now must pay $40.00 for my luggage each way. That's $80.00 more Bucks!!! The Barker tells me to join their fan club for $59.95 and save$10.00 both ways. Not hardly, that's $39.95 added on top of the $30.00 I still have to pay,thus luggage will cost $99.95 to go with me. Oh, and if you wait until you get to the airport to handle your luggage it's even more. As I boarded the plane I was pleased to see a clean new plane. That was however, my last pleasing experience. The seats do not recline, your squeezed into seats too close together, and they charge you for everything you can possibly think of. Water was $3.00! Needless to say I refuse to pay for water at restaurants and airplanes. I didn't go to the restroom on the plane so I can't tell you if they were charging a fee to enter or if you had to buy paper. I can tell you I will never consider them again. I ended up paying more than I would have on two other airlines...my fault. Unless, your next flight is very short and you will be in the uncomfortable seats for less than 30 minutes, no price savings is worth and the price savings does not exist.
