Brawls and All: Here's The Most Ridiculous Spirit Airlines Moments Over the Years

In a wild story, a passenger who took a flight on Spirit Airlines from New York to Florida noticed that it was gone when she landed. Without the help of police, she was able to track down the luggage due to receiving a ping from one of her Apple Watch just minutes away from the Florida airport where she arrived, according to WPLG Local 10.

In December 2023, a 6-year-old was supposed to be on a flight from Philadelphia to Southwest Florida for the holidays. He ended up 160 miles away in Orlando, Florida. He was incorrectly boarded on a flight to Orlando by a Spirit Airlines employee, according to ABC News.

In an effort to deplane faster, video showed a passenger jumping over seats during the flight and yelling at anyone who attempted to stop him.

This video shows a Spirit Airlines employee having enough of a whiny Karen who would not stop complaining, leading to the worker snapping at the customer.

In a viral video posted to TikTok, a passenger appeared to be “visibly intoxicated” during the flight berating passengers and acting aggressively toward staff.

Why can’t passengers act normal on flights? In this 2018 video, a passenger is seen losing their cool on a Spirit Airlines flight from Houston to Minneapolis. She can be seen walking up and down the aisle while screaming hysterically.

Fire in the air never sounds good. In March 2023, during the flight, an overhead bin caught on fire, causing smoke to disperse across the plane. The flight was eventually diverted and landed in Jacksonville, Florida. It was discovered that the fire came from a battery.

In September 2021, on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a white woman went on a racist tirade toward a Black Muslim woman, telling her, “You f***ing Muslim terrorist, nobody’s talking to you, mind your business,” according to WXYZ Detroit.

In a disgusting act, a woman was seen on video using the restroom on the floor of the plane after complaining that the staff prevented her from using the restroom for two hours.
