Spirit Airlines
Anyone here ever used Spirit Airlines?
I just happened to see that they must be new at DFW and visited their website. Pretty cheap fares. DFW/Ft Lauderdale $59 DFW/Jamaica $89 Just wondering if it's worth saving a couple of bucks by using them? |

According to their webpage, they started in 1980 as Charter One, based in Detroit. 1992 they changed the name to Spirit Airlines. In 1999 they moved to Miramar, FL. I googled T Allen McArtor, and it shows that he started Legend Airlines out of Love. Looks as though they shut down Dec, 2000. |

Spirit Airlines started as a charter operator with a pair of Convair 580s doing gambling junkets from DTW to ACY. Now it is the largest privately held airline in the US. D. |
