But while I was at the kiosk to get my physical ticket printed out the the worker was texting on her phone instead of helping the people out that are in line. I get through security and to my gate and I am getting on the plane for them to tell me I need to pay an extra $50 per person for carry on bags and they were very rude and not willing to help out at all.

Never again price r the same as other airline if you have any luggage, they charge for all luggage including carry on and check in fee if you don't print it out boarding pass at home.
