@scottalanmiller What's the rush?
I just sit there while everyone rushes the gate, then walk up after everyone else has boarded.

Doesn't work on SouthWest, they don't have assigned seats. And people are afraid since airlines are allowed to bump you as long as you haven't boarded yet.

Cuz then you get stuck in a middle seat and both people on the side of you take your armrests.

That is not how any of this works.

I hate flying SouthWest, it's just a mob scene, and the prices aren't very good.
Actually, as of this year, their prices are some of the best of internal US flights. The rest of the carriers have low up front seeming prices, but the restrictions are not worth it. Once you get past those, you are easily $50 or more over SouthWest.
It totally sucks. Because I also dislike Southwest's cattle stalls.

The way I fly, I rarely need or use anything beyond Spirit's basic service, so I actually get the super cheap flights at a third the cost, and much more luxury and convenience, than Southwest. And I live right next to SW's home base, it's better to drive farther to DFW for other flight offerings.

Are Spirit's seats better? I will pay more for a slightly better seat any time I fly, no short hops for me.

I think so. They are more modern and "leaner" giving you more actual room and more air movement. They are my favourite airline seats and, as you know, I'm not a small guy. They don't look as comfy, they look more like something from Star Trek, but they feel better for me to sit in.
Spirit is also just about the cheapest thing to fly, ever. I often fly in the US for $49 and international for $165.

I'll have to keep that in mind when it's time to go see my sisters on the west coast.

Just did a quick search on Cleveland to San Diego. Looks like you can get $110 one way.
