Thread:Comments:US air carrier Spirit Airlines announces a $45 carry-on baggage fee/Bullshit/reply

This is, for all practical purposes, the same thing as raising the price of the ticket, considering most everyone takes on a carryon. Except that it looks better on the online ticket price list, and they can brag about having "lower ticket rates than the competition" - carefully turning a blind eye to the insane carry-on fee. Typical sneaky nickel-and-dime-ing.
