re: #55 Pie-onist Overlord

Not entirely true.

I’ve had good experiences with JetBlue, which has more legroom than most, and they’ve got good entertainment systems and don’t charge for the first checked bag.

Delta isn’t bad either, but it depends on what planes they’re using - some of their planes don’t have entertainment systems, and some of the seating is tighter than others (seatguru.com is your friend). Having Skymiles card through Amex means free checked bags for people in my traveling party, so that’s a bonus too - and pays for itself with at least one round trip for two people.

But Spirit is roundly condemned as being the worst of the worst - nickle and diming passengers to the point where it doesn’t pay to fly them for crappy service, and you could do just as well with the fares on the full-priced carriers.
