I remember flying on my one and only spirit flight in 2011 with the barking plane. I remember imagining that they were like turning the ignition key and trying to get the engine to turn over.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣We made it… but never again!!!! Once on Spirit was enough🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exact same thing happened to me lol. I was flying DEN-BZN at a window seat on a UA B738 and was recording a trip report on it, but I ended up falling asleep and waking up as soon as we touched down. Luckily I also did the opposite route.
10:09 Hey brother, enjoyed your video. My guess is that the delay in STL, was due to a mechanical issue with the aircraft. I used to handle NK in EWR, when I worked for AC in the early days of NK's operations. Back then, they were flying 30 year old DC-9's that would break down almost on a daily basis, and would create absolute havoc for our operation, as we only had 2 gates. Very often we would have to have the Spirit aircraft removed from the gate, if it was on a mechanical delay, to accommodate our aircraft, as we operated more flights at the time. They had a policy where they would never cancel a flight, so 5 hour delays were common back then. Don't know if they have the same police today , but they've come a long way since then with the Airbuses.
Wow, that’s really cool that Spirit still has the old logo on the interior. I remember flying the A319 in grayscale back in like 2013. Great report of this now rare aircraft!
Hhhh Airbus barking became the meme in the end, the budget airlines just shocked me, one ticket was 23 dollars, othercarriesy 73 dollars?! Btw good job doing yr work during the time of lay-out.
My very first flight on Spirit was an A319 back in 2013 when they had the old gray livery on it. Kind of sad to see them go, however every flight I’ve been on since then has always been an A321.
Not sure if anyone else has commented about this but..... you first mentioned how clean the plane was inside but I'm wondering what's up with those blood spatter stains on the seat-back in front of you 😂😂 Also never knew about the "barking" A319.... sounds like I'm laying down getting an MRI 😂😂
I will ONLY fly US based ULCC if nonstop. And TBH I really gave up. AA, Delta, primarily United if necessary even if it is booked basic economy. The US airlines I allow myself to fly have diminished substantially. Thanks for sharing.
I flew on a Spirit A319 from IND to MCO last February. It was my first and only time flying Spirit, and it was my very first time flying on an Airbus (I had only flown on some Boeing 737s and ERJ 145s before that trip). I had no idea they were becoming rare, which is a shame because it’s a very nice plane.
Well done video and for NK they should have gotten A319neo to replace their aging A319-131s/A319-132s. Cons of flying Spirit airlines the cramped seat something that's also seen with the Legacy carriers B737s. In east Asia NK A319 seat leg room is seen with LCCs and some legacy carriers notably PR with Hong Kongers Taiwanese and Singaporeans usually ranking it last.
I love the spirit A319, believe or not I flew it PHL-LAX via Atlanta and nonstop from LAX-PHL in 2020, that route is now flown on the A320, tomorrow I am flying on the spirit A321 and I believe the seats are the same as the A319 and recently I flew on an older A320 (sharklets) and it had the same seats as the A319. All around a large portion of the fleet has the baby tray table.
