No. Their strategy is to add extra seats, reduce legroom and pack in as many passengers as possible. The last time I flew on Spirit I felt like a sardine packed into a can. I am only 6Ft and my knees were against the seat in front of me. Never again!

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.
