Spirit Airlines review by Maggie 2016-11-11

I have no complaints (for the most part) about Spirit Airlines; however, there were two things I want to make 'official' mention of... If you're planning on paying the additional $50 pp for the 'wide seats' near the front, keep in mind that if you're planning on sleeping (especially if you're taking a 'red-eye' flight like we did from Niagara Falls to Fort Lauderdale a number of times), you're best off to just take a regular seat since the flight staff will be chattering away (very close to you) and you will have a hard time sleeping. My second concern is regarding a flight I took on Sun., Oct. 30th/16, leaving from Fort Lauderdale going direct to Niagara Falls, NY. I called the day before to discuss the assistance I would need as I was travelling on my own and had 3 heavy bags, 2 of which were keyboard cases, not easily loaded onto a normal baggage cart. I was told (clearly) that I would not need to worry, that a person would be ready to assist me with these items; I assumed they meant by using a flat-bed type cart or possibly just having a person help me to carry them through to a place to be held while I waited in the lineup to check in. NO SUCH LUCK! TERRIBLE TIME !!
