Orthodox Jewish couple who receives a lifetime ban from Spirit Airlines

Unacceptable behaviors! Orthodox Jewish couple who has been banned from Spirit Airlines for life. I do not appreciate for the behaviors.

They doesn't listen to flight attendants, gate agents and ticket agents, as well. They should listen to them.

Well if the story is to be believed (and I know it does not include the airline account) they acted by the sounds of it perfectly reasonable.

Not sure what being Jewish had to do with anything?

Crazy is Crazy does.. Doesn't seem any of this has to do with ethnicity or religion.

The flight attendant really screwed up. The seat was FAA approved so that should be end of story for the airline. Even the supervisor said it was approved. For the flight attendant to take it upon themself to not allow the seat after it was approved by a supervisor was a real head shaker.

Of course the hearsay of somebody "hearing" that somebody called them something is another story.

While I think Spirit did a lousy job of understanding, I find it hard to believe that this escalated to police involvement without any provocation, or because of anti-semitism.

Flying with a six week, 2 and 3 yr old on spirit makes for a high stress combustible mix. Not the best idea for a relaxing vacation.

I am a bit confused where the 2 and 3 yr old kids sat when dad moved to the empty seat next to his wife holding the lap child.
