ShannonFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2026
If you are going for cheapest option with a positive experience, go with Spirit. If you are looking for comfort in regard to your seat, leg room, snacks/drinks included… you need to pay the extra money and go with a different airline like Delta or United. Spirit you can pay and upgrade for all these things. I don’t know cost wise though if Spirit would still be cheaper if you do that.
KimberlyFlew with Delta-Jul 2025
Ask for headphones to watch screen movies as all of mine are bluetooth and that will not work. Bring own food and wait until plane moves before hooking up to Deltawifi.

Smooth experience. As I was offered EXIT row seating, with lots of leg space but with a trade off of NO-recline.
Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Feb 2024
Fly directly into Miami if that is your final destination. Ground transportation between FLL and MIA is expensive ($50) and time consuming (1+ hour). One would think there would at least be hourly public transit between the two airports, but no such luck in the late afternoon. Choices are $50 bus ride or $50 ride share, or $50 bright line, or $50+ rental car. No afternoon Tri-Rail service. I chose the ride share since it got me directly to my downtown Miami hotel.
SissiFlew with Spirit Airlines-Feb 2024
If flying Spirit-Bring food/drinks, a ton of things to do, a pillow and if you have issues sitting on a firm surface, bring something to sit on
