All seats have a surcharge, with $11 being the minimum. So a R/T to Tampa was minimum $80, and that is in steerage, middle seat in the rear of the plane.
And, the website is not too spiffy.
Devil is always in the details.

I think you can let them pick a seat for you at no charge - the seat surcharge is just if you want to pick your seat in advance (otherwise they'll assign one for you when you check-in)

Yeah, I wondered. I will go back through and see.
Jeeze, the front of the plane is going for $29 + $53--$54.
6'5" and 1/8 of a ton....
It is neighborly of me to pick an aisle or window seat. I tend to only inconvenience 1 person.
How do you handle the window seat? I'm your height and the curve of the plane pushes me into the poor soul in the middle seat.
I just get cozy with the outside and the window.
Of course, it depends on the plane. I actually prefer the aisle seat, but take a window if it is what I can get.
In the days before seatbelts and child seats, the folks transported 9 kids in a 2 door car. I had practice being squeezed and making the best of it. "Flight attendant, she's looking at me...."
I am also fairly good at looking competent yet vulnerable and pitiful, and sometimes get sympathy offers for the emergency row.
Southwest Airlines tip but the best seat on the flight is row 12 window seat (or 16 depending on your aircraft type if you're on the new MAX 8's), due to the emergency exit door there is no seat in the row in front so tons of extra legroom. I've gotten that seat even when I've been in B group because people tend to congregate at the front and there's sometimes a flight attendant standing in the row and people don't want to ask about sitting there.
For years when I was shuttling between RDU and Heathrow, the seats of choice in the AA 767 (if I couldn't get an upgrade) were 20A, 20B, 20J, 20K and the same in row 21. Extra leg room because of the window exits. Not many people knew about these. The only disadvantage was that on a long flight, those seats tended to be colder than the rest of the aircraft. I didn't mind at all.
Eventually AA changed to a 777, and later they refitted all the 777s with 10-abreast in economy instead of 9-abreast. Ugh.
