re: Anyone ever used Spirit Airlines?

It is great for a short flight by yourself with just a backpack. You cannot beat $25 one way from MSY to IAH for a day trip. I find the seats to get really unbearable (and I’m just an average size guy) if my flight is more than an hour or so. I did 2.5 hr flight and wanted to jump out I got so uncomfortable...or pay for the big front seat, which is like a first class seat but without a separate cabin or service.

Also, know about and be smart about their fees when booking. Ex: pay for bags before getting to the airport, print your boarding pass at home or use your phone, etc. all that costs more at the airport.
