Flying with Spirit Airlines is like paying to see the toxic ex you always swear you're going to block but keep coming back to. The cheap fares woo you back even when you know you deserve so much better.
Thankfully, Twitter exists specifically to help us laugh at our own pain. Users are as vicious as they are hilarious when it comes to roasting Spirit, with the heat turning up after the Spirit-Frontier merger was announced.
Ready for some laughter therapy? These are the most hilarious tweets about Spirit Airlines.
Spirit Airlines: Creating Jobs for Therapists Since 1983
I just wanna go on the record. That not even the Son, the Father, nor that Holy Ghost would ever make me fly Spirit Airlines again. I rode on it one time, 12 years ago, out of desperation and I'm pretty sure it is half the reason I go to therapy now.

But What's an Arm When You Get to Go to Vegas for $50?
I'd like to thank Spirit airlines for the "quick and easy" options to change my flight all I had to do was chop off my right arm or sacrifice my first born!

This Was Our First Thought When We Heard About the Merger Too

Shhh, Stop Giving Them Ideas!
Merger between Frontier & Spirit Airlines is so exciting! The thought of these two low-budget carriers teaming up has me wondering about the new NO-FRILLS perks:
Seat Belt Rentals
Pay Toilets
Extra fee for Pilot Who Graduated Flight School#spiritairlines #FrontierandSpirit pic.twitter.com/dEvtkwUC5w— Mamaleh Trump (@MamalehTrumpOG) February 7, 2022

Spirit Pioneered the 'Hunger Games' in the Sky
If a Spirit Airlines flight gets diverted because of an unruly passenger, it's fair to ask, who started it. I once had to arm wrestle my way through the row, to get the sole bag of pretzels. That old lady didn't know what hit her. (It was me, I was tired of arm wrestling)
