I Flew in the US's Cheapest First Class Seat

I can't wait for all the pedantic plane foamers to yell at me about how this isn't "real" first class!

    I know you only paid $38 for your ticket, but others paid a lot more, so the fact that they’re charging $4 for water is insulting. If you fly first class, on-board luxuries should be more affordable in first class, in commensurate with the ticket price.

    The thing I hate the most about spirit is usually the passengers. They’re usually obnoxious and have no class. The seats are already uncomfortable the least people can do is be courteous to each other on these flights.

    "The thingie" is ground power, which, along with pre-conditioned air, allows planes to turn off their APU (auxiliary power unit) while waiting at the gate and save fuel. The tuggie tug is a pushback tug that pushes back the plane.

    props to Miles for having the guts to say “bye tuggy-tug” and in general just filming a very niche video while still next to a bunch of random people. I would feel uncomfortable if I had to do that, but I guess it is spirit, and WAY crazier stuff happens on spirit, so hopefully no one judged. (No one else even seemed to notice the whooping when you got off the plane, and that’s the spirit of spirit) I also love the phrase “boop the snoot,” Now any time I touch an animal’s or plane’s nose, I will call it booping it’s snoot.

    Yup, taxiway or runway bridges are a thing in many places! They may look like small bridges, but they are mighty! When Florida HSR was being planned in the 2000s, MCO extended the bridge you were on to accommodate the trains! When O'Hare International built one in 1963, it was built to handle future aircraft weighing 365,000 pounds (or 166K kilograms), but aircraft weights doubled within two years of its construction! As aircraft loading cannot be assumed to be distributed evenly to a bridge superstructure's web, different modeling is required in these bridges' structural design. An airport that takes a runway bridge to a whole new level is Madeira in the Azores, aka Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, in a good portion of it is a BIG bridge.

    What is now Logan International Airport opened in September 1923, and at that time it was mainly used by the Massachusetts Air National Guard and the US Army Air Corps. It was referred to as "Boston Air Port" at Jeffries Point. The first scheduled commercial passenger flights to start at the new airfield were on Colonial Air Transport between Boston and NYC, starting in 1927. Because of a rise in air travel in the 1940s and 1950s, the airport added 1,800 acres of landfill taken from the former Governors, Noddle's and Apple Islands. Massachusetts renamed the airport after Maj. Gen. Edward Lawrence Logan, a Spanish-American War officer from South Boston, in 1943.

    Miles and poor (err L O W) bids go hand in hand! At this rate, Spirit is gonna charge you for every time you breathe or for simply existing just like Mr. Krabs did 💀Here's some Spirit Airlines lore: It started as Clippert Trucking Company in 1964. It then changed its name to Ground Air Transfer Inc in 1974. In 1983, the company founded an airline service in Michigan by Ned Homfeld as Charter One Airlines which was a charter tour operator that provided travel packages to places like Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and the Bahamas. They received their Air Carrier Certificate in 1990 and began air charter operations.

    Best Trip Reporter, hands down. Miles doesn't give us what we want, he gives us what we need.

    Wait, wait, wait... the Poor Bid in-joke is actually a bid? You're gonna have to walk me through where and how to put bids on tickets, this is an entirely unfamiliar concept to me, I grew up "the only way we can afford to travel is driving"-class.

    The "Howdy" on the plane's winglet. Wasn't that what the B-52 crew in "Dr. Strangelove" wrote on the Nuke that Slim Pickens rode out of the plane at the end of the movie to start the end of the World?
