Florida to SDQ $155 all in! :)

I'm so elated that I just got this fare on Spirit Airlines in these days of $130a barrell oil. I've flown them before and I know their customer service is absolutely atrocious but when they have deals like this and you don't plan on taking a lot of baggage, you just can't resist some of their fares:
FLL-SDQ 8/25-8/30 round trip

$9 each way= $18.00 air
$137.40 tax
Total: $155.40

I can deal with the flying Greyhound for a 2 hour flight with fares like these.I will be taking just carry on baggage but on Spirit to check one bag add $30 round trip (when pre purchasing online) and $80 round trip to check 2 bags (again when prepurchased online)

Also their new gimmick to raise revenue is to charge for seat assignments. After you make you reservation, you can pick where on the aircraft you want to sit for a fee!
Middle seats: $5 (!)
Window or Aisle seats: $10
Emergency Exit row seats $15 (If you don't meet the requirements of federal law to sit there, you will be reassigned and the money you paid is forfeited.)
Note that this is per segment so if you have a connection both ways you have to pay this for each aircraft you use. Then, it would cost you $40 to assure that you get an aisle seat for your entire trip. What a ripoff. For a 2 hour flight I won't bother.
If you choose not to pay the fee for a seat assignment, your seat will be assigned at randon when you check in based on whatever's left and you have to take what they give you.

Yes, it has gotten really lousy. It's either an early morning flight or a late night flight. My flight leaves FLL 6:00am arrives SDQ 8:15am. Not my preferred schedule but, again, for the price, I'll put up with it.
