On flying

[Alcibiades]

Never ever fly spirit airlines, you will regret it.  That is all.

[Viking]

elaborate?

[Alcibiades]

Hidden fees for everything.  If your (1)carryon bag is bigger than a small backpack plan on paying $50 for it. Douchebag customer service and reps, and every flight in my terminal is delayed at least three hours or cancelled. Weather is fine In Florida.

[garbon]

Yeah I think Spirit has a generally bad rep.

Well, you get what you pay for. If you think your flight actually costs $200 then you are delusional. If you want perks, service and reliability then you're gonna have to pay for it.

I could buy that if we didn't have airlines like Virgin America. I can still get pretty cheap fairs there and be treated quite lovely. Richard Branson.

I once had a flight cancelled because of technical problems on a different flight. They needed to replace that flight's plane with my flight's plane. Must have been more passengers on that one. It was Delta. They gave me a free room in a motel with moldy showers and roaches. In Atlanta. Fuck Delta.

Never heard of Spirit.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Never heard of them either. The only "discount" airline I've ever used was Southwest, but since I've gotten older and more bitchy, I require assigned seating so I haven't flown on one of theirs in a while.

  Yes, the cattle car festival seating mentality can wear on one after enough flying.  I'm sure it totally creeps out women traveling alone.

Although there's nothing like the rare flight on a late Friday afternoon where everybody can get a row to themselves.

As much as I hate crowds, the plane itself bothered me more than the people around me last time I flew.

Had my own row to Portland.

That's weird.  When that's happened to me I've always been put up at a decent airport hotel.  Not sure it's ever happened with Delta, though.

I used to really like Delta, but they seem to have declined quite a bit lately.
