Rick, we will be down the same time period in June, hope to meet you. You can usually get tickets under $100 on Spirit. I believe carry on is more expensive, $35 and $25 for checked baggage. You do not have to buy seats, only if you want exits, close to the front, or the BIG FRONT SEAT which we always buy for $50, it's first class without the service.
