Spirit Adds Carry-on Bag Fees of up to $45
April 6, 2010 9:46 am by Carl Unger
Spirit Airlines has added fees for carry-on bags, effective immediately for travel on or after August 1.
Here's the fee breakdown:
* Personal item: Free
* Carry-on bag, paid online; $9 fare club members: $20
* Carry-on bag, paid online, on the phone, or at check-in; non-$9 fare club members: $30
* Paid at the gate: $45
Items such as umbrellas, strollers, and car seats are also free.
Spirit is concurrently lowering its checked bag fees for $9 Fare Club members:
* First bag: Old fees $19 online/$25 airport; new fee: $15 domestic, $20 international, $45 checked at gate (both domestic or international)
* Second bag: Old fee: $25 online or airport; new fee: $15 domestic, $20 international
* Third through fifth bag: Old fee: $100; new fee: $75 domestic, $80 international
For non-members, some checked bag fees have actually gone up:
* First bag: Old fees $19 online/$25 airport; new fee: $25 domestic, $30 international, $45 checked at gate (domestic or international)
* Second bag: Old fee: $25 online or airport; new fee: $30 domestic or international
* Third through fifth bag: Old fee: $100; new fee: $85 domestic, $90 international
Bottom line: You will pay for bags on Spirit no matter what. This is obviously not a development many travelers will be happy to see, but hopefully the concept of carry-on fees stays relegated to the realm of the ultra-low-cost carrier
