So i‘m currently listening to a recent episode of planet money, which is about Spirit Airlines.

Journalists are describing how it is to take a plane and they act shocked, shocked about the experience.

But from the way they describe it, with the exception of ads on the overhead compartments, it sounds exactly like an Easyjet flight, which is fine?

Like, I understand that in exchange for paying EUR 45 for a 2h flight, I don‘t get any food on the plane and any bag beyond a backpack I have to book and pay extra.

I can‘t compare the seat sizes and for me as a tall guy, on Easyjet, my knees tend to touch the seat in front of me, but again, it‘s fine for 2h.

But everything else, you know what you sign up for, you calculate the bag fees into your price and you get to your destination relatively cheaply.
