amen to shoulder room! i can tuck legs under me 3 hours no problem but i cannot tuck my shoulders!
is spirit pricing normal for other airlines. for PHL to DFW this is the common setup
the one nonstop flight can be anywhere from 55 off peak (tuesday) to maybe 125 to 150 in june peak days.then they will list a crazy 2 stop flight for 300 bucks. i do understand if you are bumped etc you may wind up on that one but dang. who outright is gonna chose a 12 hour flight at 300 vs direct at around 100? ive recently seen an instance where a more expensive flight was sold out before the non stop. very weird. it also does stink that on this route spirit doesnt have more than 1 non stop but i'm grateful for it.
regarding the armrest, the big seat center one is pretty nice. i wouldnt know what other lines look like. but i can put my arm there and the 350 lb guy next to me did and we never touched. to me thats all i require in a flight. no touching! i do hate when someone uses it to hold their drinks though.
they also had a pretty sweet deal last flight and i wish i took the app. 35K (after just one purchase) plus 1K miles if you fill it in on the plane and 1st year free for the credit card. where they really really mislead you is they said 2500 needed for some flights. technically true but only if you fly less than 1250 miles OFF peak. my standard price for region 2 is 12,500 miles. so still would be 3 trips. but i didnt understand something. even during a week of standard pricing for miles, the miles needed varied between 5000 and 12500 but the PDF said it was all standard pricing. i assume standard means would be the same but obviously i'm wrong. they still charge more for non tues/wed flights in mileage. rather confusing.
anyways i got my gold star. finally elite on spirit, which means nothing. but it's still a pretty title
