I've flown spirit with my friends once with the $9 tix ORD - FLL - ORD. The ride there was one of the normal planes with the I think 26" pitch...I'm 6'5" so it was slightly awful. On the ride back we must of had the 14" pitch high capacity planes bcuz it was awful. My knees were at my ears. Also the ground crew was absolutely awful. They boarded everyone....then said....oh we need to do a pressure test, everyone off.
Did you notice when landing at FLL the pilots making really abnormal correction. It was the first time I felt "drunk" with how the pilots were landing. Even my friends mentioned they've never felt all those corrections flying into FLL on AA
