Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: I flew from Portland to Vegas for $135 during Thanksgiving break. Now that's cheap!

Throughout both of my flights I was mentally writing my yelp review and envisioned a 1 or 2 star review. Today, though, as I sat down to write it though, I couldn't do it.

Yes, the planes are old. My fellow travelers ridiculed the planes, the seats, the interiors on both flights.

Yes, there are lots of fees. But it is possible to travel without paying any of them, especially if you are traveling by yourself or if you are going only on a short trip. The $135 I paid was the total and included tax. I paid no fees. I didn't reserve a seat (and despite this I still had an aisle seat both ways). I didn't pay a bag fee and instead brought only a small backback which fit underneath the seat. Yes, you have to pay for food or drink but this is true of many airlines. If you have a problem with it, buy something in the airport.

Yes, the seats are small. I'm not sure how but it definitely seems as if there are more seats than usual crammed onto the plane. However, I'm 5 feet tall and small and so all was fine for me. Those of you who are tall I'm sure have issues on most planes.

It's true. I would prefer to fly on a 'fancier, newer plane.' However, for short-haul trips and for the price, Spirit is a good deal. The flights took off and arrived within 15 minutes of their scheduled time. The staff were professional. Really, I have no complaints and would recommend flying Spirit.
