Ya, nothing about IAH appeals to me, especially the long layover hotel. I'd take LBE over IAH any day!

Looks like it. Off the top of my head, without doing any research, maybe MSP or BWI?

I can give two flying fat "800 lbs any color trash" rats ...as long as the planes are full and we make money, to me it's just like a dump truck, every load counts.

Spirit Airlines Announces Ten New Exciting Non-Stop Destinations From Houston George Bush Intercontinental

MIRAMAR, Fla., Nov. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Get ready to fly to some great locations and save a lot of money doing so. Today, Spirit Airlines (Nasdaq:SAVE) announced it will be expanding its non-stop service to ten new destinations beginning in the Spring of 2015. The new locations include domestic cities including Tampa, Baltimore/Washington, DC and Oakland/San Francisco Bay, and seven destinations in Latin America including Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua (International routes are subject to foreign governmental approval).

A map accompanying this release is available at http://media.globenewswire.com/cache...file/30231.pdf

"We're excited to offer our customers in Houston the opportunity to fly to and from these great destinations without having to spend a ton of money getting there," said Ben Baldanza, Spirit Airlines' President & CEO. "Whether you're visiting family or the great attractions these cities have to offer, Spirit's Ultra-Low Bare Fares™ along with Frill Control™ allow many more travelers to fly to these great cities who previously could not afford it."

According to Department of Transportation data1, on average Spirit Airlines' airfare is more than 40% less than other airlines. Even after adding some of the optional services Spirit offers, the total price is still 35% less. With fares this low, Spirit's customers spend less money on their flights and that gives them more money to spend at their destination of choice.
