Spirit Airlines' ultra-low-cost model serves as a cautionary tale for what happens when cutting costs takes precedence over delivering the basics: punctuality, comfort, and service. In the pursuit of margins, they overlooked the critical element that keeps customers returning—reliability. As a product leader, I’ve seen firsthand how balancing efficiency with customer satisfaction can drive sustainable growth. Low-cost doesn’t have to mean low satisfaction. Even in a budget-friendly model, investing in operational excellence—like on-time performance and streamlined customer touchpoints—can pay dividends in loyalty and retention. The lesson here? Never sacrifice the fundamentals of a good customer experience for short-term gains. If you’re not solving for reliability and trust, price alone won’t keep customers coming back. What do you think? Can no-frills and great Customer Experience coexist?Let’s discuss. #spiritairlines
