Spirit doesn't disclose the fact that they charge you for everything under the sun. Especially when they randomly cancel and reschedule you on different flights and have not control over them. I went from a round trip, non-stop flight at $263 a piece to a round trip, 1-stop flight at $425 a piece. On top of that, they could not guarantee the seats I had already chosen and paid for.
I scheduled and flew Airtran just recently. The initial purchase was at a price of $332 round trip, but the next day the tickets came down about a $100. I called them and they gave me a credit voucher for another flight that had to be used within 1 year. I was very satisfied with the results since I fly often. The customer service rep was very polite and helpful, which made my experience wonderful. They also allow one bag free of charge. Their non-acoholic beverages are still free. I now wish they would expand their service to Cancun so I didn't have to rely on another airline where they charge you to look at their plane.
Those that want to defend Spirit apparently haven't been on the side of the fence where they turn a happy event into a nightmare.
