Frontier & Spirit Airlines merging...

[bjcheung77]

hey, i'm cheap (one of the reasons I'm here on these forums!)... I'm not above flying one of these carriers. But I still don't like them

LOL, we're not cheap, we're just frugal... I guess I just want a deal and looking to see if they can cause a drop in airfare for other airlines I fly on.

For me, I will pay more to fly non-stop.  That's what I care about most.  

I don't see any luxury in sitting in a cramped seat on any airline regardless if I get an extra 2-4" of legroom.

By the time you pay extra for a carry-on bag, Spirit Airlines can be similar to the cost of other airlines.

Yes, non-stop is what I truly love, even on a no-frills low cost carrier... I just hate wasting time.
Low cost carriers survive by taking extra fees and that's their bread and butter really...
They attract potential customers on the fare, and upsell their add-ons <rant and rumble>
