I really appreciated the overall professionalism of everyone involved.
Wow, even in FLL, no apparent effort was made on my flight to enforce any carry-on rules. I guess it's a YMMV kind of thing.

I've wondered about the Big Front Seat thing. On all 4 Spirit flights I've taken, the f/a's tried to sell the empty big seats for upgrades after everyone had boarded. On at least one flight, the price seemed negotiable! I presume the f/a's are given a list of which seats have actually been sold, so that squatters are routinely kicked out? Otherwise, I personally wouldn't mind a little extra free legroom . . . .
