Spirit Airlines Horrible Company Atlantic City NJ

First off let me just say that I will not fly Spirit for many reasons, however in this case YOU are the one that is wrong.

Spirt like every airline has specific "cut-off" times.  For Check-In that is 30 minutes before the depature time.  You Checked-In at 5:55 for a 6:30AM flight since they let you Check-In they so far have done NOTHING against their policy.  In fact, you having gotten there at 5:45AM with a line out the door and to be at the counter by 5:55AM actually shows that they perhaps were trying to get you on the flight..or the line wasn't as bad as you are trying to make it out to be.

Now, their other policy is that you must be at the gate no later than 15 minutes before departure.  Figuring you were done with Check-In at 6AM, it took you 22 minutes to get through TSA and to the gate.  TSA has nothing to do with the airline, so any complaints about the length of that line has nothing to do with Spirit.   So since you arrived at the gate at 6:22AM that is 7 minutes after you were required to be there, so they again.

Of course they "could" have called ahead but how long should they have waited?   What if it took you 30 minutes to get through security?  How about 45 minutes?  No my guess is that you think they should have waited until 6:23 and then it would have been okay for them to leave.

I find it very funny that you tell them to look at the security tapes.  As all that will do is confirm your times you gave them.  Where that you were late and they did exactly what their policy showed.  So go ahead have them look at the tapes all day long.

I really wonder what time you planned to be at the airport.  As now you state that you tried to get their earlier but of course "things happen".  Well I don't know where you get the idea that an airline is responsible for these things.   You also mention how many times  you see people rushing to catch planes at the last minute.  Okay so how do you know that the "last minute" isn't 15 minutes before departure?  Have you stopped these people as they were running?  Did you watch them all the way to their flight? Or are you on board and you see these people jump on at the last second...okay so how many don't you see that actually missed their flight?  For that matter really how many times have you seen that happen.  As I fly quite often and can't remember ever seeing this happen.

Oh and yes I do expect your next update to be an entire list of calamities that occured causing you to be delayed by 1 hour and 45 minutes where you couldn't get there at 4:30AM like you planned. 

Bubba,

 It's obvious you never travel or leave your shell. Yes, they do ask you to be early. Things happen and you end up running late. I travel frequently and always see people rushing last minute to get on a plane. So, brush your tooth and keep quiet!

 Last I checked you are recomended to arrive no less than 2 hrs before a domestic flight departure and a minumm 1 1/2 hrs.

The airlines commonly close the door 20 - 30 minutes before actual departure as a manifest has to be filed with the government showing actual passenger names for the flight before it can take off.

This takes time.

Finally Airlines have not delayed flights for security delays since 9/11.

Please review the requirements for catching a flight before posting such a silly complaint again, Thank You in advance.
