I usually fly AA. But their luggage fees and their heirarchy of boarding really irks me as I've been pretty loyal to them for over 20 years but my travel slowed down so now my status is low. I made the mistake of using CheapAir for a family vacation and will never stray from AA again.

If you are using them for a ride-like a taxi, I guess they're fine. If you are using them for travel, as in your going somewhere to stay and have luggage, just go with another airline. You'll end up paying the same after the seat and luggage fees.

I found an excellent fare (or so I thought) on CheapAir last December for my family to travel to Washington DC for spring break. I usually use Google flights or Hopper and I will never stray from them again. AlaskaAir is who was being touted as being the airline for the trip. As it turns out through CheapAir, AlaskaAir then contracted these flights out to SkyWest and SPIRIT. If I would have known that SPIRIT was going to have anything to do with this flight I would NOT have bought these tickets. So, my $1520 roundtrip tickets, after all of Spirit's screw fees, is now $2000. I could have just bought round trip on Southwest or American for $2000 and would have had a better schedule, same departing and arriving airports and better schedule. I depart out Dallas Love, arrive at DCA then have to get a train to BWI to depart to arrive at DFW! This cheap ticket is costing me MORE than if I would have gone on American or Southwest. I WILL NEVER USE CHEAP AIR AGAIN. Just go with Google flights or Hopper. You will end up paying the fare posted by American, Delta, Southwest etc through travel to different airports, luggage, seat, taxis, trains, time and parking not to mention logistics of departing and arriving to different airports.
