Spirit Airlines--You Get What You Pay For

Sometimes, you get what you pay for. My travel agent (who I still think is wonderful thank you very much) booked me the cheapest air we could find for my trip to Cancun. She gave me what I asked for and I ended up on Spirit Airlines. Good price. But in this case, I'm getting what I paid for. My frustation started with a simple mistake-I paid online for my baggage (which all airlines do) and they overcharged me.

I tried to called to get it fixed (tried being the operative word) and all I got was a busy signal every…single…time.

Seriously. Don’t they know what a phone-que is?
So I called their corporate office: 954-477-965 and every single mailbox was FULL or it popped you back to the busy signal.

I can only hope they are in business tomorrow!

I finally got pissed enough to google them and this is what I found:

Next time, I fly anyone but Spirit Air!

Perhaps you should have googled them BEFORE booking the flight. Just a thought ; )

Man, it's amazing what we'll go through for decent airfares. Well, relatively decent airfares.

Send me a postcard!

I think I've learned my lesson! I'd rather pay a bit more and get a customer service phone number that actually works. :)
