IS BANKRUPT SPIRIT AIRLINES REALLY THAT BAD? THE TRUTH ABOUT THE “YELLOW ROCKET”
Eight long years in the making, and I finally have them in my hand: the “Sacred Papers” a Spirit Airlines boarding pass. Today, I’m wrapping up my USA aviation tour by flying one of the most controversial airlines in the world. Spirit has declared bankruptcy twice within the last year and retired over 100 planes, but does that mean the experience has hit rock bottom?
Flying AMERICA’S MOST HATED Airline: Is Frontier Really That Bad?
It’s the airline that everyone loves to hate. Frontier Airlines frequently tops the charts for customer dissatisfaction, so as part of my 2-week USA Aviation Tour, I had to see for myself. Is it a budget-travel nightmare, or is it just misunderstood? I booked a trip from Los Angeles to Chicago with a 15-hour “gamble” stop in Las Vegas.
SOUTHWEST AIRLINES: The End of an Era?
I’m officially back in the United States! After years of visa struggles, I’ve finally kicked off my 2-week USA Aviation Tour. The goal? To hold America’s biggest budget carriers accountable. We’re starting with the most popular of them all: Southwest Airlines, the “Ryanair of America.” But this wasn’t just any flight.

I’ve flown on some of the world’s most crowded planes—from Indigo’s 531-seater Boeing 777 to the “Beast of Bangladesh.” But today, it was time to test a new contender: French Bee. This French budget airline made the bold decision to squeeze 480 seats onto an Airbus A350. To put that in perspective, they’ve ditched the standard 9-abreast economy layout for a 10-abreast (3-4-3) configuration.

Air Tahiti Nui Business Class – The Paradise Express
I recently found myself in Auckland with a ticket to one of the most remote “domestic” hubs in the world: French Polynesia. Flying with Air Tahiti Nui is often called the “Paradise Express,” and after a 5-hour hop across the Pacific, it’s easy to see why.
Flight Delays, Cancellations, and Missed Connections: What Passengers Should Know
If you fly often enough, delays and cancellations are inevitable. Over the years, I have experienced everything from short delays to missed connections and overnight disruptions. Knowing your rights as a passenger can make a huge difference when things go wrong.
Many travellers are entitled to compensation under passenger protection laws, but most never claim it, either because they are unaware or because the process feels complicated.
