I see flying as a practical necessity rather than a luxury. When it comes to making the most of our vacation opportunities and creating lasting memories, I prioritize efficiency and affordability over extravagant travel experiences. That’s why I’ve found that airlines like Spirit and Allegiant provide safe, reliable flights at reasonable prices.
For fellow military families, both Spirit and Allegiant offer valuable military discounts, helping to keep travel costs manageable and allowing us to focus our resources on making the most of our time together.
Spirit’s benefits for active-duty military service members include:
- Two free checked bags and a free carry-on, in addition to the already free personal item, for active-duty service members and their accompanying spouse and/or children;

For those of you who aren’t lucky enough to score free checked luggage, I have successfully packed a week of clothes for the boys in their own personal item using this bag. I even managed to get a week’s worth of my own clothes in this personal item size backpack.
