Frontier, Spirit Airlines Merge to Form Giant Pain in the Ass

Can two wrongs possibly fly right?

My worst-ever flight experience came on a Spirit Airlines flight from Phoenix to Philadelphia, where the carrier’s cheery and cheeky communications contrasted with shark-like customer service. Travelers’ blood was in the water, and they tore into them, with baggage fees, drinks fees, graduated payments depending on which seat you chose, and other monetary annoyances that made me think about walking the 2,345 miles home.

Cheap tickets can cost you.

And now the news hits that Spirit intends to merge with Frontier—the conestoga wagon of air carriers.

How will this work out? They have not yet begun to charge additional fees!

For instance….

1. Breathing fees: Frontier will charge you to inhale, Spirit to exhale

   

2. Pay to wear clothes in flight. Note: Your fellow passengers may take up a collection to cover this expense, depending.
