I have no problem with the cheap ticket + pay for features and services as you need them. I thinks it's totally reasonable and that much of the complaining probably comes from people who didn't really understand what they were getting into.

In our case, once you factor in that everybody is going to have to pay a sporting equipment fee and possibly an extra bag or two, the cost difference to a legacy carrier is much less. Throw in the time cost of four additional hours on busses (and the charter cost), and I'd have rather skipped the LCC option.

Thanks for the help, everybody!
