Next time you're flying out of Florida, and you decide to hop on Spirit Airlines, just make sure not to check-in any luggage at the airport. Or bring any carry-on bags with you. In fact, just bring your wallet, phone, and a toothbrush. That's all you need, unless you want to pay the exorbitant fees that Spirit (based in Miramar, FL) will start charging its customers beginning August 1st. Here's a price breakdown of the new fees:
Carry-on bag: $45
Carry-on bag registered online or by phone: $30
Carry-on bag for Club Fare members: $20
1st checked-bag: $25
2nd checked-bag: $45
We'll see if there's going to be any backlash with these new fees, and whether other airlines will adopt a similar approach. Who knows? Soon you might be seeing coin-operated lavatories on your flight. Does anybody have change for a dollar???
