Spirit Air has worked for me
Posted in Airplane Tickets, Costa Rica on Oct 17th, 2008
I’d like to point out I don’t work for Spirit Air or have any sweet deals with them. I’m only trying to find the cheapest airfare possible. It is a short flight to Costa Rica from the Southern United States so I’m not worried about luxury or uber-friendly service.
I’ve flown on Spirit to Costa Rica on many different airlines. Since settling down in Florida I have used Spirit and Martin Air. The latter no longer flies to Costa Rica from Orlando so that leaves Spirit. I’ve heard some horror stories online about them but I’ve had good experiences. I don’t feel I was treated any worse than any other airlines I’ve flown. I could write a novel about the deteriorating quality of service in the airline industry but why bother? I just suck it up since there aren’t really any alternatives.
What matters to me is that I arrive safely, on time and with my luggage. I’m not going to die because the person at the check in counter was a bit short with me. I must re-iterate that I have not had a bad experience with them. You also have to realize that sometimes when you travel you just get screwed no matter who you are flying with. Sometimes weather will shut down an airport or a flight will be cancelled. You just have to accept it as part of the traveling experience and move on. These sorts of experiences are rare and its been many years since I had a flight cancelled on me.
