I booked a flight on Spirit. Hold me.

My best friend recently moved from Vegas to Denver and I've been trying to find a time to go see her.  I found a Spirit flight for $100 round trip, taxes included, so I jumped on it.  I know the baggage fees aren't included but we'll only have one bag.  My daughter is a lap infant and I expected a charge, but it doesn't look like there is one. 

I hope my experience isn't as bad as everyone elses.  I swore I'd never support their business model and crappy customer service, but those darn low prices got me!!

Sweet that's great news! I was going to post asking for positive experiences, but I was worried I wouldn't get any.

You know what you're getting into and you're an experienced traveler -- you'll be fine! What scares me about airlines like Spirit is the thought of my 77-year-old, not well-traveled mom using them and getting charged because she wants to take a bag with her medication in the cabin with her.

I love Spirit. The price can't be beat. I just follow the rules and I am pretty happy.

I flew Spirit from Fort Lauderdale to Cartagena and lived to tell the tale, but, boy, was that plane like a party bus with wings. I generally just use planes as a way to transport me from point A to B, though, so I knew not to expect much and it was fine.

I just flew Spirit for the first time in July. It wasn't that bad, but I read their baggage and other rules multiple times. I felt bad for people that showed up with bags that fit under the seats of all other airlines, but got stuck paying $100 because of spirits crazy rules.
