Sorry to burst anyone's bubble about Spirit but we returned with them on October 15, 2018 from MCO to BDL and have firmly resolved to NEVER fly with them again! Our flight was to leave at 4:15 pm and we finally got off the ground at 7:17 pm. In addition to what is an ever-increasing timeliness problem (we've since heard that their "on-Time" departure problems/occurrences are the norm, along with scattered cancellations, not the exception), we found that only in fine print (if you really search their site for it) checked-in bags over 40 lbs. will be charged as "Excess/Overweight" baggage. That's correct, "OVER 40 lbs." Our suitcases were 43.5 lbs. and 47.0 lbs. and we had to pay an additional $30. each for their 'singular' exception to the 50 lbs. rule that all of the other air carriers go by with checked-in luggage.
