Comment on Judge blocks JetBlue from acquiring Spirit Airlinesparent

Yes. But this is super transparent on their site. You can get super cheap flights if you don’t care about checking bags, in-flight sodas, and so on.

To add credence to that statement… LAX to LAS is a $20 flight one-way through spirit. It’s cheaper to fly a family of four than drive. It’s wild how cheap spirit becomes on certain routes, especially short hops where you can trivially get away with nothing extra

For Spirit, a carry-on is considered an extra. That's an extra $35 right there, which brings it pretty much inline with Southwest's pricing.

Get a big backpack, i got a tom bihn synik 30 that qualifies as a personal item. Let's me carry enough for any short trip without having to use a carry on.

They allow you up to two personal items/small bags.
