⚖️ Q&A Time:
Last Week’s Results:
We asked: How do you feel about budget airlines like Spirit?
37% said “I’ll fly anything if it’s cheap”
63% said “Absolutely not, I have standards”
Verdict:
Spirit will get you there… eventually. But most of you said no thanks to airborne chaos and $79 carry-ons:
“They overly nickel and dime you to death, and in the end, you pay just as much!”
“I'd rather take a cheap flight and spend more on good food and experiences at my destination ”
“If your flight is canceled they can not reaccommodate you on another airline to reach your destination. ”
“Flying anymore is so challenging, because the airlines really don't give a shit about the flyer anymore. ”
“I prefer more space - I’m no longer a tiny twink ”
