A Spirit Airlines crew member explains pre-flight procedures for a Detroit flight: switch phones to airplane mode, Wi-Fi costs extra and may be spotty over mountains, and the three-hour flight should recover its delays thanks to favorable winds.
Welcome aboard your Spirit flight with service up to Detroit. We'll be departing shortly once we have everyone on board. Go ahead and finish up any last-minute text messages and phone calls you have at this time. Once our boarding door is closed, we are gonna need all cell phones in airplane mode. We do have Wi-Fi available for purchase. However, we always recommend it's a good idea to have something downloaded to entertain yourselves just in case. Sometimes the Wi-Fi can be a little spotty, especially when we're flying over the mountains, so make sure you have something downloaded just in case. Our flight time— luckily we're making up a lot of time in the air. The winds are in our favor for once. Gonna be 3 hours up to Detroit tonight, so we are gonna make up most of that delay time, if not all of it.
