Getting in the spirit of offering low-cost airline fares without sacrificing quality is exactly the mentality of the aptly titled Spirit Airlines. Spirit rivals the other top-notch airlines with a penchant for producing flights and bundling them together with cars and hotels for a combination that screams savings. How does Spirit seemingly pull off the impossible? They don’t overly saturate their pricing by adding a plethora of extras that customers may not even want. Instead, they keep offer a lower fare that is basic and give customers the option to add what they want – at their convenience and keeping their own budget in mind. For example, Spirit gives you a seat, a free bag that fits under your seat and fantastic customer service, cleanliness and great flights. Customers have the option to upgrading to bigger seats, a checked-in bag or even the aforementioned grouping of hotels and cars as part of the flight. Pundits of Spirit may assume that the lower pricing means a lot of flight destinations missing from the itinerary. That couldn’t be farther from the truth as Spirit is right up there with heavy hitters such as Delta, American Airlines and Southwest as far as offering flights to Florida, Las Vegas and other major cities across the board. Furthermore, Spirit has grown substantially over the years and, thanks to its price point, has migrated into smaller cities, which gives those who don’t live in and around a major city the option of traveling with driving too far to catch a flight. Spirit is happy to share the wealth of not only low-cost flights but features two other important sections on its web site: “Travel Deals” and “Free Spirit.” The latter is the frequent flyer miles program for customers, while the “travel deals” says it all: Spirit points consumers toward this spot on the web site to somehow save even more money. Spirit scores major points as a top-flight airline in all facets except the one that matters most to customers: cost.
