I guess you can't complain. The price is good but the service is bad.........Many not all but the ticket agents tend to be unhelpful, uncooperative and unfriendly. I was late once checking in on a domestic flight to NY by maybe a few minutes, but there was still one hour before the flight left. But they would not check me in and was told I needed to wait for the next flight which was six hours later. I asked 3 different agents for an accomodation and everyone refused. Not willing to take no for an answer, I finally approached and asked a white American agent, who by his demeanor appeared to be gay and asked for assistance. I don't know what he did, but he called some one on his radio, did something on the computer and accommodated my request and was finally able to fly right out on time. But God, how they made me sweat and difficult they made it for me. I knew all along that I could get on that flight, there was still sufficent time to get on but for some reason they all wanted to give me a hard time. That is my experience, but I have heard similar stories from friends and relatives.

On my way to Puerto Rico i was going to fly out from Chicago. They mentioned to me that my connecting flight to Fort Lauderdale was going to be leaving before i would get there to be able to connect. It left me in a position of hopelessness which i had no assurance of refund or alternative options. I asked the attendant what i should do and the jackass does nothing but shrug his shoulders. Are you kidding me???Spirit airlines was the worst experience of airline flying ever. The prices are nothing but a scam because they charge you for not only the luggage on the bottom but also for your carry on bag. The worst service lies in none other than Spirit airlines. Do yourself a favor and do not fly with such a scam of a service. Back to my horrible experience i was supposed to fly to Aguadilla where i would have a rent a car waiting for me. It ended up happening that i had to fly to Fl to wait hours before boarding a plane to San Juan which is three hours east. Thank God my prima had the means to be able to drive all the way out there to pick me up.

RE: Checked out the price on Spirit to and from the DR from Florida!
Most planes today resemble a chickn coop.
If you want service you have to travel first class or go by superior airlines such as Air France, Virgin, Singapore etc.

Unfortunately they havn't opened the DR - Miami area route to World Class airlines yet so Spirit is approximately as good as it gets.

I beleive they still have leather seats - maybe on other ailines you fly standing up clutching a pole.
