Once again I apologize again for the delay I was busy and out of the house pretty much the ENITRE day but I’m here now so enjoy!
This weekend I have a convention up in Atlanta, Georgia I have many ways to get there one is 8 hour drive which obviously is a no for me I could take the train but I don’t want to, instead let’s do what I always do FLY! So I packed my bags and made my way south to the well known Miami International Airport were almost ALL of my trips start from but I did ONE thing different instead of going to the north terminal or concourse D home of American Airlines here at MIA, I instead went first to the SOUTH TERMINAL where i’d check in for SPIRIT AIRLINES, yup I’m taking the magic school bus up to ATL this early morning and I’ll be taking Frontier back from ATL so I can review these two airlines and see who is the worst, I’m going into Frontier Blindly I’ve already flown spirit a bit and it isn’t that bad actually but let’s see how they do first up is spirit from MIA → ATL, LETS BEGIN!
Flight Info

Destination: Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Intl 🇺🇸 ( KATL )
Flight Time: 1:23
Airbus A320-200 ( Spirit Airlines )
Server: Expert
It was around 4:00am when I got to MIA which means I went to bed SUPER early I’m talking 8-9pm last time I went to bed around that time was in Elementary School, my flight was leaving from the central terminal but I’m in the south terminal because that is where spirits check in is, it’s actually on the GROUND floor in a tight space, apparently when they started serving MIA, it was full so they needed that small space at the end of the south terminal but anyways I need COFFEE ☕️ luckily there is a landslide Cafe Versailles in the central terminal so I stopped there, made my way to security and to gate G12 to see the skittles 🌈 Airbus A320 taking us to the worlds busiest airport, there is A LOT of competition on this route it’s not the busiest that being MIA → JFK but more airlines serve this route than that one and these two infamous airlines are big players in that market anyways I apologize for the dark picture it was still like 5:45am at the time!
Spirit aircraft are ALL economy expect for the “big front seats” up front at first I was gonna choose those but I decided to do the REAL spirit experience, seats in the back, they were CRAMPED and just ONE backpack 🎒 not even $200 for this flight! AA would have charged about $50 or $100 more and since I didn’t pay a lot, my expectations were low as you get what you pay for, right?
Spirit Wings 3100 cleared for take off RWY 8R, here we go! But look at that sun shining on AAs concourse D here at MIA ❤️☀️ I-95 wasn’t that packed but in 1 hour, it changes!
Climbed up to FL380 and look at that sunrise! 🌅❤️👀 anyways the crew did NOT go around with their buy on board service which is rather strange, I remember flying FLL → KIN long time ago flight time is around the same and even then they still did their service. But again it wasn’t even 7:00am yet and most of everybody was sleeping so 0 stars for spirit for their onboard service now that’s a BIG advantage for frontier but we will see Sunday!
Anyways here we are, suns fully up and we turning left base for RWY 27L here at ATL!
Decreasing our speed for the final time as we are now on final for RWY 27L at ATL. Overall, I liked spirit despite the early hour and lack of service the seat was tight but got the job done for this quick flight and for the price I paid so would I fly spirit again? If it’s a short flight and prices aren’t high, ABSOLUTELY! You get what you pay for but 3 hours is my limit any longer, Im going AA or one of the big 3 but let’s sit back, relax and enjoy this landing!
TOUCHDOWN! Welcome to Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson Intl Airport the MASSIVE home of Delta Airlines, ATL is not only busiest airport in the world it’s also the biggest single airline hub in the world to! 🌎
Sadly, our gate D2 here at ATL is one of those that DON’T have good views of the plane, I took this picture from the gate next door, but anyways no need to wait in baggage claim since I didn’t check any bags so off I go to downtown Atlanta to my hotel and go explore Atlanta’s many attractions! Stay tuned to see how frontier does against Spirit and let me know, should I do these comparison trips often? But as always between now and the next time, see you in the sky! 😉👋
