Some Love For Spirit's Big Front Seats
I know this is probably a special case -- but my better half and I are doing a lot of same-day flying ORD-LGA-ORD for specialized medical treatment, so we don't have baggage, and the big front seats on Spirit still come out less than American for day trips (and I don't have to use miles for upgrades.) Their AM departure is god-awful early, but at least we get the full business day in New York which helps with treatment scheduling. It would even be $100 cheaper for the two RTs if I settled for regular seats, but we're not willing to risk having to sit three across.

Big Front Seat is the best deal with Spirit, being that many seats in the far back of the plane, now have NO, that is NONE recline. Spirit is really an outfit where "you pay for what you get and nothing more"!!!
