I’m really glad I got the chance to fly Spirit and actually document it. For the last couple years, they quietly built something pretty solid. That “premium economy” setup with the blocked middle seat was one of the best values in the sky, and their crews were consistently some of the friendliest I’ve dealt with.
I flew them three more times after this first trip (video in the comments), and every time was genuinely good. No chaos, no horror stories. Just solid travel and good people.
Tough day for a lot of really good people who made that experience happen, and for the customers who actually understood the value they were offering. Hoping those crews land somewhere that treats them even better.
