Full Flight: Spirit Airlines A321 Newark to Orlando (EWR-MCO)

Hey guys! In this video, I try flying aboard Spirit Airlines once again down to Orlando, Florida from Newark, New Jersey on one of their A321s. The Newark-Orlando route is a pretty popular route naturally with 3 other airlines besides Spirit competing for passengers. During these coronavirus times, because of the competition, the prices really aren't that much different and so it's really interesting to see how Spirit stacks up to the others nowadays that the prices are so low. I think it's pretty obvious as you can see in the video that their onboard product and COVID safety precautions are very poor compared to other airlines. The boarding process is awful, so is the seat, the seatback contents like "pocket" below & "tray table", as well as the lack of service and nickle & dime for everything else. Don't get me wrong though, I think Spirit is a great option for people traveling on a budget, especially when the legacy airlines prices are so high...but on a route like this where there's 3 other carriers pricing around the same (Frontier, United, & JetBlue), Spirit just isn't worth it in my opinion. Go with JetBlue or United. Hope you guys enjoy!

Spirit has some of the newest planes. And all airlines use older models due to how long they are good for and how expensive they are.

Spirit Airline was the worse customer service for my handicapped mother. She was the last person to get off the plane, waiting for a wheelchair . It was the last plane at LGA NY. All employees left and no one came. Only a volunteer who saw my mother still sitting inside the plane waiting. Thanks for that young man.

@CJH1203 2 жыл бұрын

For what it’s worth, I flew for United Express and it’s the exact same way there. Airlines use contract companies to handle the wheelchairs, so it’s not a Spirit employee. Unfortunately, these contract companies usually don’t have adequate staffing and we are usually left waiting for them to arrive. I’d say 70% of the time on my United flights, we had wheelchair passengers waiting for chairs.

@timothypropst238 4 ай бұрын

The airline does not provide the wheelchair service. The airport is responsible for that so don’t blame Spirit or any airline for that matter.

Thanks for sharing this video, much appreciated - A couple of questions: 1. What metrics or scientific study did you review to conclude "Spirit Airlines is the worst when it comes to safety?" 2. When you're travelling on a budget airline, you're getting a bargain price, with the expectations of little or no on board amenities, weren't you aware of it? Thanks to these budget airlines, people who cannot afford these overpriced airlines like Delta, United, American Airlines etc can travel

(I recognized the southern tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and Willoughby Spit over Norfolk before the labels appeared on screen. :) If the camera had zoomed out a little further I would have seen my house. I am fairly sure I saw my father's house down there somewhere over Ormond Beach. Thank you for all of your videos.

I don't get people who complain about Spirit and Frontier. They are VERY upfront about what they are offering for the price. Is it a luxury flight? No. But then, I would rather spend 2 hours in relative comfort to save $200 or more on a one-way ticket. $200 buys a lot of additional fun at your destination, especially if you can save that both ways.

Man, I don’t know why you guy complain about this airline so much. Last week I did the exact same flight and it was great. The reason the tray table Is so small is the flight is to short for a full meal. So they don’t need a bigger one. The Leg room great and you even get snacks. The staff is very nice, and we took off safely and landed safely. That’s the MOST important thing. This airline is also ment to be affordable and not luxurious. That is why I rated spirit 5 ⭐️.
