I hate flying SouthWest, it's just a mob scene, and the prices aren't very good.

Actually, as of this year, their prices are some of the best of internal US flights. The rest of the carriers have low up front seeming prices, but the restrictions are not worth it. Once you get past those, you are easily $50 or more over SouthWest.

The way I fly, I rarely need or use anything beyond Spirit's basic service, so I actually get the super cheap flights at a third the cost, and much more luxury and convenience, than Southwest. And I live right next to SW's home base, it's better to drive farther to DFW for other flight offerings.

Are Spirit's seats better? I will pay more for a slightly better seat any time I fly, no short hops for me.

I think so. They are more modern and "leaner" giving you more actual room and more air movement. They are my favourite airline seats and, as you know, I'm not a small guy. They don't look as comfy, they look more like something from Star Trek, but they feel better for me to sit in.

Spirit is also just about the cheapest thing to fly, ever. I often fly in the US for $49 and international for $165.

I'll have to keep that in mind when it's time to go see my sisters on the west coast.
