Thanks, NK Flyer. We appreciate the info because the company isn't always so good at clearly communicating their policies. I know my fellow pax have been very confused about where they're allowed to put their free "personal item." It usually falls upon me to explain to my seatmates that they can put it in the bins.

As far as other questions go, do you happen to know Spirit's on-time percentage? It seems somewhat low to me, but I don't think it's published. I haven't yet booked any connecting flights because I'm a little afraid I'd miss my connection. I assume I'm SOL if I do, right? I'm also a little afraid that my legs couldn't take much more than 2 hours on a Spirit flight, due to the legroom issue.
