Spirit Airlines Airbus A320neo
Flying on a Spirit Airlines Airbus A320neo.
  • I have flown on seven of the eight US low-cost carriers, but am comparing five of the more apples-to-apples options.
  • JetBlue Airways and Southwest Airlines have extra comforts not offered by others.
  • I see the pros and cons of budget airlines but I think each has its own perks that make it worth flying.
Low-cost carriers have become a strong force in the US aviation industry, ditching the hub-and-spoke model for point-to-point routes and bringing fares down in competitive markets.
