text: If you're reading previous reviews, I'd recommend first doing your own research before disregarding Spirit. While it is true that Spirit charges you for literally EVERYTHING, including check in baggages, carry on baggages, water, food, alcohol, and even SEAT selection. But it's like you're \"getting what you paid for.\" HOWEVER, I must point out that even with all these extra charges, occasionally Spirit is STILL cheaper than the cheapest flight on expedia, or Southwest. \n\nThe staff is easy to work with and they give you a heads up that if you wanted to be seated together, you must immediately go to the Spirit agent at the door and let them know. I had no problem getting seats sitting together for four people both ways. The staff on the plane aren't gorgeous like other flight attendants, but they are kind and at your service. They don't really pay attention to the patrons during the whole flight, but that's what the service button is for. \n\nPlane was dirty both ways and seats in the back and small and uncomfortable (I'm 5'3in and my knees hurt). The front seats are bigger and have head rests. I went to Vegas, so the ride was fast (1.5) and we had no problem with any delays.\n\nTips: \n1) Paying online for check-in and carry-ons bags are cheaper than paying at the airport. \n2) EVERYTHING is charged. DO NOT assume anything is complimentary.\n3) ONLY fly with Spirit if it is a SHORT flight. Short flights allows you to take a nice nap and wake up at your destination with maybe a bathroom break (that IS free). In the long run, short flights will be cheaper (all things included - comfortably, price..etc).  Long flights may cause you to want to buy the horrendously priced food/drinks and cause body aches. \n\nOverall: worth it if you can travel light and plan to go somewhere nearby, or bring your own food onto the plane. Other airlines are obviously better, but this is definitely cheap.
