If you’ve ever flown before, chances are you know what it’s like to spend a few days scouring the web to find the best possible price before you leave on your trip–unless, you know, you got monnneeyyyy.

With that being said, if you’ve never flown on certain airlines before, things can get confusing when it comes to certain brands and why they’re so affordable compared to other, more expensive flights. As far as cheap flights go, one airline reigns supreme: Spirit…but how can they keep their prices so much lower than other airlines when they all need to buy the same fuel, pay their staff, and all of those other expenses?

The explanation for why some airlines are cheaper than others has to do with a lot of different factors, but it’s pretty safe to assume that the less you pay for a ticket, the less luxurious your ride is going to be–but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be terrible…right?

Here’s where the jokes come in. When it comes to saving money, a lot of people just don’t think a flight is the place to do it. I mean, you’re literally trusting these airlines with your LIFE, shouldn’t that cost a little more than $40 bucks?

Spirit has definitely been in a few headlines before regarding some terrible flight experiences, but to be honest, so have most airlines. But that doesn’t mean the people of Twitter won’t still get these jokes off about why the airline is so much cheaper than the rest.

Can’t lie, the jokes are absolutely hilarious–but if you’ve ever actually flown Spirit you probably know that it’s not really that bad.

The flights are so much cheaper than other airlines like JetBlue or Delta because they strip their flights to the bare minimum: No food, no entertainment, no WiFi…but you do still get a seat on the plane, you just have to pay extra for it.

For anyone out there really wondering if Spirit is worth it to save some money, it’s not like there’s a higher probability of dying on Spirit vs. any other airlines–which is a good sign, right?

So, no, you don’t actually have to pitch in for gas money or fly the plane yourself when you travel with Spirit, but let’s be honest, that doesn’t make the jokes any less funny.

The moral of the story? The internet doesn’t care about whether or not a joke is true as long as it’s funny. Like Desus and Mero always say: facts don’t matter.
