When you think of Spirit Airlines, you probably think low fares… but best airline overall? Yep, it’s official.

WalletHub just dropped their annual airline rankings, and Spirit Airlines — repping Fort Lauderdale — beat out major players like American, Delta, United, and JetBlue.

WalletHub looked at 14 different factors, from cancellation rates and baggage mishaps to pricing and in-flight comfort. And while Spirit didn’t exactly score high on the “most comfortable” list (no surprise there), they crushed it where it really matters:

  • Most Affordable Airline
  • Safest Airline
  • Best Overall Airline

In a time when every dollar counts, Spirit might just be the move — even if you have to BYO snacks and legroom.

Hey, a win’s a win… and Fort Lauderdale’s own Spirit Airlines is flying high!
