Ultra Low Cost Airline

Spirit Airlines that Laura took to get here and to get home was advertised as the first Ultra Low Cost Airline.  We thought that was because you had to pay for everything even carry-on baggage.  I looked up Spirit Airlines in Wikipedia and it said that they were also known to have the best on-time record of all the airlines.  We realized that they could be on-time because they don't wait for their passengers to get on the plane.  Laura had a stopover in Houston and the stopover was only to change crews.  Everyone had to get off.  So Laura decided to use the washroom which was right beside the gate.  When she came out of the washroom a few minutes later, she found her plane had already left without her.  She was so furious.  There wasn't another seat available until Sunday morning.  So I bought a direct flight from Houston to Seattle on another airline for her and she paid me back.  It was a great waste of money.  She was so mad at Spirit Airlines and I couldn't believe that they would leave without her because she had a boarding pass and her luggage was on the plane.
