Spirit Airlines, the budget airline that flies to the Caribbean and Central and South America, has found a new place to tack on fees: your carry-on. And yes, you read that right.
Bag fees are sadly nothing new; their introduction forced budget-conscious travelers to try to squeeze everything into their carry-ons. Spirit Airlines which flies out of OHare Airport in the Chicago area announced Tuesday that as of August 1, 2010, theyll charge a whopping $45 for bags stored in the overhead bin ($30 if paid in advance) in addition to their checked baggage fee of $25-$45. The essential to budget travel is to approach onward. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Organizing and spending our travel budget carefully is a priority for most families. Reducing spending and prices, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind saving money while touring is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!. Bags stowed under seats are still free of charge.
What trend might this fee start? An MSNBC article suggested travelers might start wearing multiple layers of clothes to reduce their number of carry-ons.
But why the ridiculous fee? Spirit Airlines Chief Operating Officer Ken McKenzie says the fee will be good for air travel, since it will reduce the number of carry-on bags, which will improve in-flight safety and efficiency by speeding up the boarding and deplaning process, all of which ultimately improve the overall customer experience.
No other domestic airline charges for carry-ons in the overhead bins, but theyll surely be watching the reactions of travelers to see if it, well, flies.
What do you think? Does Spirit Airlines new overhead bin fee policy cross the line? Leave a comment.
