Once I was on a mostly empty 777 flight across the US. I had the entire row (window to window) as well as the rows in front and behind me, all to myself. It was glorious.
The 5 or so people on that flight, myself included, ended up all clustered near the middle of the plane pounding shots of Tito’s with one of the flight attendants to distract from the fact that it sounded like our plane was about to rattle apart in the sky.
I understand now why the Spirit Airlines flights are unpopulated.
Eh, I took one home from a business trip (direct flight and arrived a couple hours earlier), and it was packed. I enjoyed the flight well enough, and I’d totally do it again for the price. I just mailed my bulky crap through USPS before getting onto the flight, so I only needed my backpack.
I actually don’t mind flying Spirit. I do restrict to no layovers and don’t check a back. I usually upgrade to the “big seat” for like $20 or $30. For return flights, they have 1 gate in Minneapolis and it’s at the front of the terminal. I’m in my car a few minutes after the door opens.
