    Spirit Airlines Review from a First-Timer

    Have you ever wondered what it will be like to go to a random destination and not look back?   One day as we were looking at Google Flights, Peter alerted me that a flight from Orlando (MCO) to Dallas via Spirit Airlines is around $80 round-trip.  With my philosophy, I asked: “Why not?” and we booked it the same day!
