    Flights < 3 hours are physically tolerable. And I'm only 5'3"

    I've had the upgrade seat with the middle one blocked, and I always get an aisle seat. Even so, it is beyond me to do it any longer than 3 hours. I'm not overweight, and I'm only 5'3", but I'm positive the cushions are harder than on other airlines, and the seats are immovable. No reclining. No pocket to hold things on the seat in front of you, either. (How does that save them money?). Everything costs from water to coffee, and you cannot buy a "meal" at any price. Snack boxes are the closest thing, and it's JUST LIKE a Lunchable you'd give your 6-year-old, only it's $10. Wifi is spotty BUT PRICEY. No entertainment is offered by them. My final flight tonight is delayed by 3 hours, and it's over 3 hours long. But I WILL say that the staff on the flight from BOS to MCO 2/19/2026, was pleasant and friendly (EXCEPT for the guy in the cockpit on the speaker who condescended and scolded us repeatedly while we remained on the tarmac as if we were responsible for any delay. (We left on time). Just kept urging us not to take other people's seats, don't take up storage space that others paid for, etc. The passengers started laughing because it was so over the top...But the flight attendants were upbeat and polite. I can't do this airline anymore, beyond short direct hops. (Maybe that was their goal??)

    30 C . No bulkhead

    The A320 spirit equipment I flew in was the next to the last row, so there was no bulkhead behind the seat. That being said the seat is very uncomfortable, because there’s no padding… I felt like I was sitting on plastic for the entire flight.

    Cramped seat, solid arm rests, not worth upgrade

    Solid arm rests with trays inside that are unuseable as they hit the padded seatbelts. These un moveable solid armrests are rediculouse to maneuver around to get in and out of row. Also huge padded inflated seatbelt.

    Horrible seat

    This seat has the traytable in the armrest making the seat narrower. Could not spread my legs forcing me to sit completely upright with my knees pushing into the seat in front. Even by Spirit standards a horrible seat.

    How are they allowed to operate?

    They seats have been redesigned to have less padding, cupped backrest, Arms do not fully fold up, There is not a window per seat and seats between windows have plastic dividers that stick out into your seating area, no legroom at all, impossible to put your head down in emergency landing, and best of all the emergency exit row now has seats in front of doors where arms do not fold up!!! In emergency exit, everyone must exit by climbing over the seats!!! Including handicapped. Nice to see airlines are permitted to put profits over safety. The FAA is asleep at the wheel!
