Airplanes tickets tripled in price because Spirit Airlines kept ticket prices reasonableAdded:
It's not financial advice, not legal advice. This isn't any advice at all.
All you guys that are were doing backflips and were so excited that that Spirit Airlines is no longer with us, you guys don't know what Spirit Airlines did, and this is like my second video on it, but I am being subjected to the fact that Spirit doesn't exist anymore. Spirit kept the other airlines ticket prices in line.
I'm paying three times, three x what I paid for.
And the the ticket prices are going to continue to go up. I mean, it's absolutely sickening. Okay, it's absolutely sickening. I'm paying triple what I paid for the seat, and on top of that, I got worse seats. I I was forced, well, not forced, but I even went and got a JetBlue credit card because I want to see if there were any benefits I could get because I'm going to be flying JetBlue instead of Spirit now. I mean, it's it's absolutely crazy to me.
With all the problems you guys had with Spirit, all the complaints you used to talk about Spirit, Spirit kept the airlines industry ticket price in line.
Okay, it kept the prices affordable.
Now that there's no Spirit Airlines, these airlines could charge whatever they want, and then you add that with the price of jet fuel going through the roof because of the war in, well, not war, but the conflict in Iran, it everybody loses. The only people that win are the airline industries.
They win, the executives win, but we end up losing, okay? We, everyday hard working people all around the globe, especially the United States of America, we end up losing because Spirit Airlines is no longer with us.
I am I'm not going to say pissed off, but I'm not happy.
I'm not happy that I have to pay three times the amount for flight now. Okay? A flight that cost me $100 on Spirit now cost me $300 on JetBlue. I mean, that's absolutely crazy.
Anyway, guys, listen.
Hopefully, not saying it's going to happen, but hopefully somebody steps in and brings Spirit Airlines out of the brink of bankruptcy and bring the airlines back because we need Spirit Airlines back or we need a a similar airlines. And Frontier and Southwest are not it, okay?
And I'm not telling anybody to fly any airlines or not fly any airlines, that's not what I'm saying.
What I What I'm saying is that Spirit kept air fares in check, and now that Spirit is no longer with us, air fares are going to get crazy.
Anyway, y'all, have a great day. God bless. I appreciate y'all on this journey with me.
You know what I mean?
