- Praise: Despite its reputation, some customers appreciate Spirit's reliability and predictability, finding value in its consistent service and friendly staff.
- Concern: The airline industry is criticized for prioritizing loyalty programs over actual flight services, making it seem more like a banking operation than a transportation provider.
