Spirit airlines to charge for excess baggage
Bad News for travelers who thought they could get around checked bag fees may have to think again. Spirit Airlines in the U.S. said this week it will charge passengers for putting carry-on bags in overhead storage bins. It’s believed to be the first airline in the world to add baggage fees for carry-on items.
Florida-based Spirit said there will be no charge for “personal items” such as laptop bags or purses, provided they can fit under the seat. But if they’re too big and have to go in the overhead compartments, the airline said it will charge up to $45 (all figures U.S.) for the privilege.
Fliers who register their carry-on bag in advance will only have to pay $30 for the carry-on. If you join the airline’s Fare club, which costs $9, you’ll pay $20 for the carry-on. Spirit also charges for checked bags.
