| - Anyone familiar with Spirit Airlines already know this setup. You get discounted travel via air on slightly dated planes and nothing more than that comes with your plane ticket.
You can normally get even a better rate than you find online if you go to the ticket counter and ask for rates. With your ticket, you are only allowed one (1) small hand carry item. In gist, think medium sized purse, briefcase, or medium sized backpack. Only 1 (one) item that can fit in the seat in front you is allowed on the plane for free, so pack lightly.
If you wish to place luggage underneath the plane, you get charged. It is cheaper to check in online and purchase your bad vouchers while online checking in. The price is considerably bigger. If you have luggage that you wish to carry on the flight and place in the overhead bin, you will be charged. The online purchasing rule applies to carry-on luggage as well, so make sure to purchase that voucher online as well.
In regards to seating, you can purchase more legroom when you buy the ticket or just let the computer randomly pick a seat for you. The closer you are to the front of the plane, the more legroom you will get. With that same mental diagram, you pay more for legroom the closer you get to the front of the plane. You can also buy a variety of snacks and/or liquor on the plane, but it is debit/credit card only.
All in all, I didn't find my exit row seat lacking in legroom, but comfort was different. My butt feel asleep several times via my flight. I guess I'm not experienced with having hard items near my rear, so it was an adjustment for me. Overall, staff are consistently friendly and helpful. They will earn more stars from me when they increase their flight destinations.
