Yeh I know I just got back from MDE on Sept. 15th, but I think being home, and seeing all the stinking Gringas affected me enough so here I go again. Oct. 5th to Oct.14th.

After that me and my Wingman will be in Nicaraqua on Nov. 2nd to Nov. 16th.

I will be solo this time in MDE so anyone who wants can give me a PM and go from there.

I think spirit airlines pinch you for everything they can, but you also have to take into account convience. I live near Atantic city so I can fly spirit out at 7am and be in Ctg at 12;30 in the afternoon. If you catch there sales like i did this trip, I paid like 320.00 plus a carry on each way total 40 bucks I think, maybe 30 bucks total. so that s total 360.00 round trip, not bad! of course your seat will probably suck unless you pay or atleast try at the gate for them to give you an isle or window which they will if you get there early, there is no charge if you show up with no seat, you only pay if you want to prebook a certain seat. But they are fuckers with there charges. I never had a problem with there flight attendants, they were always nice and I was happy with the service, but I knew what I was getting. I fly them often.

And that was more than enough. Though you can fly on any airline but this one is the most no frills you can get.

On International, AA does not charge for two bags around 50 lbs. Food is served no charge and the staff is usually good. Movies and entertainment programming and they don't charge for the headsets on the International.

Copa is the best for me other then early wake up. I am in MDE about 1 pm after a 1 hour in Panama. Food served at no cost and entertainment. No baggage fees for 2 bags about 50.

Aviance is OK for the same reasons listed above. THe main problem I have are the hours. I get into MDE about midnight and the have to cab to El Central. On one flight we were late (as is a custom with AV) and they put me up in Bogota. That was after Daylight Saving. The last time, during Daylight Savings they rushed me through BOG to catch my MDE flight. I made but baggage did not. AV did deliver the next day at no charge so this was good for me as I did not have to carry luggage to the hotel.

Spirit might as well put in vending machines as I believe the staff is there only to sell and baby sit. No cash, I guess they do not trust the crew with efectivo, so if you or the younger traveler do not carry credit cards/debit card you will not eat or drink on the fright. They do not give water. Almost everything they sell is $4. A snack size Pringles $4, $50 liter of water $4. If you fly them bring your own smacks but remember you will not be permitted drink on the flight unless you buy after the TSA check. For me the savings are not worth it. The only up-grade they have is a wider seat but they still offer nothing ont he service. I heard Aires is the same on there flights to the US.

I use the best price I can get at the time but Spirit will never again be a consideration if I have to pay for a ticket. This trip to MDE cost me $64 with Copa miles so sometimes sticking to one could be the best. AA has the best miles program from my experience and AA has given me free Business at times.

You make the call that is best for you.

Hi,

I have been contemplating on joining that $9 fare club. I will leave from LAX to MDE. What is the lowest you have paid for a flight to MDE?

[Cohiba Cool]

I will be in Medellin from Oct. 28th through Nov 3rd. PM me if you will be in MDE at the same time. Wingman needed, thanks.

[Voyajer1]

For the inexperienced, you think you might be getting a deal. You are not. I have been comparing fares for years and I am not impressed at all with Spirit Air:

1. Their ticket prices are as expensive as anyone elses

2. They don't fly as regularly as the other airlines

3. They completely undress you with all the add-on fees, including paying for carry-on luggage

I have wished for a liar like their CEO to get paid in spades for lying to people who believe the lies the company has put forth about "lower fares". I can tell you for a fact that from LAX to MDE there are at least 4 airlines that charge less than Spirit and don't charge you the extra $150 in fees that suckers enjoy paying even after paying to join the $9 club. If you want more info, please, pm me.

Spirit nickels and dimes but for the frugal who are aware, it's very economical. I thought the same as you, but did the calculations and they are much cheaper than the next competitor. Spirit is NOT for large folks! Probably anyone over 6 feet. The seats are more cramped to fit more people. So if you're small, it doesn't matter where you sit and you SAVE money. Carryons and most of their savings is if you join their $9 fare club ($39.99/year). $20 for carry-ons and $15 for checked luggage (each way).

So doing the calculations... a flight from NY to MDE will save me $170!

Will be in Medellin from Sept 18. This should be the last time as a non-unified married man and I would like to go out with several bangs!

I found Liliana from this group, that you for the assist and now I am looking further and newer.

If anyone has a special they are willing to share, I can promise I will be a true gentleman and they will thank you for the referral (should you have that type of relation with her).

I love slender, trigena, adorable, effectionate lindas that will treat me as a boy toy and I will treat them as a goddess.

Any help?

Thanks

PS: And if the union does not work out this will be a trip to remember and I will have different memories of a lifetime.

In town from the 19th-29th. Throwing a party that Friday the 24th of September. If your in town PM me if you want to stop by. The party we had on the 23rd of August was so much fun we had about 12 girls show up, some regular some semi's. This is not a advertisement, there is no money being made here, party is gratis if your in town and a ISG member. If your a whacko please don't show. My actual favorite part of the party was the funny scene in the supermarket with me and 8 beautiful women buying the groceries for the party. Shit like that never seems to happen to me here in NY.
