We returned on Wednesday.
Leg 2 of the trip, MIA TO DEN, there was sufficient room in the overhead.
Leg 3, DEN to EWR, there was just enough room for our two bags.
Now, I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but both times, we boarded with group 2 instead of 4 that was on our pass. If I had waited, the bins would have been full, especially with the DEN>EWR flight. It seemed that half the plane was in pre-board, group 1 or group 2. We were in row 10, aisle seats, and both the middle and window seats were occupied by the time we got there.
People rag on Spirit for being a cheapo airline, but I respect their business model. If you pay for a carry on, and believe me, they charge for a carry on, you get it. You can't get on the plane with a carry on that you didn't pay for, and they don't oversell bin space. No screwing around.
I shouldn't have to fly first class, or pay an additional $50 bucks for "enhanced boarding" nor should I have to get their credit card, just to put my stupid bag in the overhead. It's very annoying and crappy customer service.
Starting to second guess picking United as the preferred airline as we now start traveling. As mentioned earlier, since EWR is our airport, United is one of the major carriers that pretty much goes everywhere we want to go.
I need to check JetBlue. I hear really good things about them.
