Spirit

Spirit airlines is bad.

Bags cost $38 to check and $40 to bring on the plane. (Personal items are free! Whoopee!)

The person in front of my at check-in didn't take his own bags to TSA screening (which everyone at La Guardia is supposed to do themselves), but when the employee who checked him in couldn't find the man to tell him to take his bags, he took them there for the man. Nice, right? His manager snapped at him in front of everyone.

Too bad the nice guy mis-tagged my bag and sent it to Fort Lauderdale.

The plane seats were this weird, cracked, fake leather that wasn't very comfortable. Fortunately I slept the entire time (literally got no sleep the night before).

When my baggage didn't come, I went to the Spirit baggage office, which was locked. I knocked on the door--nothing. Knocked harder and a lady back at the carousel was like "did you need something?" It took me a while to realize she worked for that locked Spirit baggage office, so I was like "yeah, I just need my bag."

"All the bags are over there on the carousel."

(Those of you who know me know my absolute biggest pet peeve is people treating me like I'm incompetent or stupid.)

"I know they're supposed to be, but mine isn't over there..."

"What color is it?"

"Tan."

"There's a tan bag right over there on the carousel."

"I can see that, but that isn't my bag."

"Do you have your claim ticket?"

I gave it to her, and she actually took it and tried to match it with the huge tan suitcase that I had just told her wasn't mine.

"Ma'am, I know that isn't my bag..."

So we went into the office, figured out the bag was sent to Florida, and filled out the paperwork.

(This is where the double entendre of the post title comes in)

Just as we were finishing, I felt impressed to ask the lady to repeat my address, just in case.

"1736 Loveland."

"... no, it's 17260 Loveland."

You have to appreciate the small things Heavenly Father does for us.

Thank you Spirit! (The Holy Ghost one, not the airline.)
