I can’t wait for my return trip on “Break Your” Spirit airlines. Will it be as “pleasant” as my trip out?

There’s a reason why @SpiritAirlines is nicknamed “Break your Spirit”. Spend the extra money & save your sanity.

I flew them once @ 10 years ago. Have since referred to them as “Break Your Spirit Airlines”. Never again.

My mom loves to say “Break Your Spirit Airlines” when referring to Spirit. She thinks it’s so clever.

I booked a flight on Spirit because I thought there was no way they could mess up a 55 minute flight. They showed my ass.
