Spirit Airlines has announced it is going out of business after 34 years. The ultra-low-cost airline known for its bright yellow planes and deep discount fares said Saturday it has started winding down operations.
I suppose there is a lot to get better, like making airlines actually enforcing the “personal item rule”, its one of my biggest annoyances with flying in the US. So many huge bags and people trying to stuff them everywhere. Let people have luggage in the hold again for free.
On the other hand, adjusting for inflation, I have continually paid less to about the same for similar length flights (including luggage fees) since the early 90’s. I miss meals, but the box o’ sandwhich and a free drink hasn’t been horrible. Maybe its sticking with one airline.
Outside the US, I still get served drinks in a glass and a hot cookie or pastry, and often a free alcoholic drink on some of the smaller airlines, so US: you could do better.
