That’s the Spirit!
TikTok user Faith Collins swears she has found a workaround to Spirit Airlines’ expensive bag fees by pondering contained in the box.
In a video that has landed 2.6 million views, Collins messily stuffs her clothes, perfumes, tanning lotion and shoes right into a cardboard box, tapes it up and addresses it to her vacation destination in Boynton Beach.
“Let’s see how much it costs to ship my luggage to Florida versus paying $150 to Spirit Airlines,” she wrote within the text of the clip, adding in her caption that the remainder of her items will slot in her backpack.
The Westminster, Colorado resident claimed it could cost $34.33 to ship the box a method, bringing her roundtrip total to $68.66 as an alternative of Spirit Airlines’ $158 — saving her nearly $90.
Fellow users were amazed — or agitated over Collins’ calculations.
Several questioned the way it could cost her a lot to envision a bag on the airline when doing so should only come to “about $30 or $40” each way.
This prompted Collins to deliver a follow-up video that showed her calling Spirit Airlines to envision the price of adding a carry-on or checked bag. The shopper service rep cited her $158 roundtrip for either option.
“I ain’t lyin over here,” she captioned the clip.
“The bag fee is the not at all times the identical. I went on a visit in October and it was gonna be $160 for a CARRY ON bag round trip,” one person defended her within the comments.
Other travel trolls couldn’t get past her haphazard packing skills.
“You brave putting those bottles mixed in along with your clothes unprotected,” one noted.
“Bestie for the love of god put the liquids in a Ziploc,” one other begged.
“You were brave for leaving lotion with all the things else,” one other gasped.
Another person feared that the postal service would lose her package, while one other mused, “I used to be like, ‘You’d trust the mail over the airline?’ after which my brain cells connected and formed an actual thought.”
Collins vowed to do an unboxing to envision the condition of her items when she arrives in Florida on Saturday. Many commenters promised her things can be just effective, as they claimed that they or their members of the family do the identical thing.
“I ship as an alternative of stowe on a regular basis,” one confessed.
“My grandpa at all times does this. I probably will the subsequent time I fly too,” one other admitted.
“As a former corporate event coordinator, it’s at all times cheaper to mail your items to your hotel or destination this fashion,” a 3rd agreed.
