Last week my mom went in for an MRI due to some pain and numbness she was having in her arms. Right after the MRI, the doctor told her to go to the emergency room to be admitted into the hospital because of what they found during the MRI. They wanted her to have emergency surgery the following day on her spinal cord. Since my father and brother were away at a fraternity convention, I didn’t want her to be alone at the hospital. I immediately booked a one way ticket online from NYC to Detroit with Spirit Airlines and joined their $9 Fair Club. I have been meaning to join for a while and never got around to it. I have a friend, Jennifer, who swears by it.
The Spirit $9 Fare Club program gives you exclusive discounts on baggage and fares. There is an annual membership fee of $59.95. But you get access to member only fares sometimes as low as a penny! My one way ticket home ended up being only $89 and I booked it just the day before. I thought that was a great deal. Spirit only flies to a limited number of cities, but the ones I fly to frequently are listed. So this is a great program for me.
I have read the reviews online and they aren’t very favorable of the program, but I know many people personally that are members and have had nothing but success. So far so good. We will see what happens the rest of the year!
