Reading a lot of the complaints, most appear to be from people not planning ahead. I did some pricing on Spirit for our vacation next summer and it appears if you anticipate bags and pay ahead, pack a lunch and drinks to go, and show up early, you can avoid the really hefty fees. Even with the bags and seat preference fees, the tickets will still be way cheaper than any other airline. As for reclining seats and a few extra inches of legroom, I had to sit on a 757 from Kuwait to DFW in a similar configuration. If these people can't do it for a couple of hours, I'd hate to see them be squeezed into one of those Omni charters full of Army dudes for 16+ hours...
