flying with the wife and kid
They make an effort to keep families together (they may depend on how young the child is though). One time they split us all up and I was able to call and get us seated together at no charge.

People act like Spirit is going to kill them when all major carriers now offer deals like Spirit. If you understand the pricing going in and know if their is a delay you are SOL then you will be fine.
I used to fly Spirit all the time when they offered $35-60 RT flights out of MSY to various cities in the South.

The only good thing about spirit is that they have a lot of direct flights out of Nola . Them and southwest

I have an opportunity to fly into Orlando this fall on Spirit Airlines with the wife (no pics) for a reunion. Other option is American Airlines into Tampa (equidistant to our destination), which generally offers nonstops and with how we travel (want assigned seats usually, at least carry-ons, sometimes a check in), the cost for 2 is around $742.
So, I get Spirit is no frills and charges for a variety of selections. They'd offer non stops into Orlando. Having priced it out full, but do you think we'd ultimately save much money? Worth the review? We've never flown Spirit. Thanks.

Extra charges is not the same as "deals" like Spirit.
Spirit offers discounted airfare at low base rates and gives you the option to add more.
Other major airlines offer standard / inflated airfare prices and gives you the option to add more.

For a short flight it's not the worst in the world. I do it every year or two when I can't get traditional airline schedules to work out for me.
Maybe consolidate some bags or ship things ahead with UPS. Read their baggage rules and plan ahead. Wear a blazer or fleece vest and carry your crap in the pockets.

This I carry a back pack bag that is a like little larger than they allow for free but they have never given me an issue with it.
How strict are they on the backpack size? I usually travel with a 30L Deuter pack that fits fine under the seat in every plane I’ve flown in. I’ve got an opportunity to take a quick Vegas trip the end of the month and I can definitely pack myself in that bag. Am I going to get a bunch of shite for it?

Spirit has no means to reroute you if they cancel a flight. I flew Spirit weekly for years and always floated a backup Southwest flight. Don’t cancel that backup until the wheels are rolling.
