Airlines like Spirit, Allegiant and Frontier may have low fares, but they'll charge you differently for checked bags. Factor these costs into your decision before you go with a low-fare or low-fee airline.
Over at Tourist Meets Traveler, they remind us that standard weight and size aren't always uniform:
Check the weight of your bag. The standard weight limit of 50 pounds isn't the case with low-cost flights. Don't be surprised if the limit is 40 pounds for your discount airline.
Check the dimensions. At Allegiant, acceptable dimensions for a carry-on are 14″x9″x22″. Checked bags may not be larger than a combined 80 linear inches including wheels, handles and decoration. However, you are allowed one free "personal item" 15″x7″x16″ so try stuffing everything you can in the personal item and avoid baggage fees altogether.
