It's not much more to use JetBlue but the experience is much nicer. But I needed cheap right away and it was a couple hundred cheaper than other options.It's hard for me to patronize those cheapskate businesses. There's a fine line between "we're no frills" and "we sweat every last cent" and Spirit strikes me as more of the latter. There are some local convenience stores that charge a small fee to use a debit card for a transaction of less than $3 or $5 or whatever it is. Won't shop there even when I wouldn't have to pay the fee. Pet peeve.
