They charge for everything, even $2 for a bottle of water. Also 19 to 21% of their revenue is the baggage fees that are added on to the ticket price. That is a higher percentage than all the other major carriers. Spirit passenger average over $26 per passenger in fees.

The up front ticket prices look good, it is the add on fees that will hit you.
I get that, but some peeps—like me—are willing to put up with imperfect seating to save money. What I'm not ok with, and this is where Spirit fails for my family, is that they're rarely on time or reliable.

If they could provide reasonable overall pricing and scheduling reliability direct from MHT to where I want to go, I'd be in.
