Meh. I don't know. I guess. Thing is, Southwest is considered a LCC (I think) and they don't charge for bags, yet their prices are the same if not cheaper than everyone else. AND I don't have to travel 1.5 hours to IAH, I get to leave out of HOU. I looked into Spirit but they don't even fly to north carolina lol.
I think air travel in the US is just way more expensive than other places. For example I was looking at HOU-LAX for a possible trip later this year, and it's $425 roughly, per person. I looked at Easyjet in the UK just b/c I was interested to compare, and on the same dates I could book a LGW-FCO, which is a longer flight, for $130 per person! That's insanely cheap. I wish I could pay $85 and get a plane ticket to another city lol. In the US $85 might get me to San Antonio or Austin but no further. May as well drive.
