Cheapest Time To Fly & Booking Window

Spirit Airlines (NK) charges $200 for seat selection on DFW-HOU routes, only disclosed at checkout—this fee spiked 40% in 2023. Watch out for Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) airport: 2024 data shows 68% of travelers miss the free DART train transfer to downtown (20 minutes, $2.50), instead paying $50+ for rideshares. Always confirm baggage allowance before booking—Southwest’s free checked bags only apply to domestic flights.
