Spirit Airlines has become the talk of the industry with a plan to start charging a fee for carry-on bags. As Mark Strassmann reports, airlines are looking for anything they can monetize.

  • Today’s lesson: Only losers pay excess-baggage charges. Smart people get themselves a Jaktogo

  • BS...you people piss whine and moan about fee hikes, but just roll over and pay them. I refuse to fly and play that game...they won't get my business with that attitude towards customers. I'll drive myself and save a TON of money instead of making some CEO's beemer payment.

  • This is about greed, nothing else. I will not pay to bring my one small carry on onto a plane. If they were really concerned about people who abuse the size limits, they would just stop them. Spirit Airlines aims for idiots as customers, so enjoy your 1 am $39 flight with them and Bozo the chimp piloting the plane!

  • when was the last time i went to UPS and told them that sh*t sould fly for free?! oh oh no wait.. bags fly for free on other airlines?! hahahaha idiots... yea if you pay 500 for your ticket they'll fly for free, hahaha also they'll throw in a free movie and a coke.. wow! yup thats going to save me money lol.

    I love SPIRIT AIRLINES, at least they give me the choice of paying for what I have and want to bring on board.

  • Oh be quiet! when was the last time you paid a dam penny for a ticket?! stop bitching and stop bringing all huge a*s bags on board delaying the flight and making a nightmare every time you fly. people want the low ticket fares of spirit but they don't want the fees.. hello?! last time i checked this was a business.. not the dam red cross, you have a choice of travel, if you want to carry your oversized bags.. pay for it.

  • @CaptainBill22 LOWER TICKET PRICES!!!

  • @TheVMFA333 they should!! dam fatties use more gas to get them there.

  • who knows maybe in future we need to rent our seat during flight :(((

  • @goldbergfish ohhhh ok. thank you,that makes much more sense lol. that is absurd!

  • I fly 6 times a year only international flights and I'm glad I don't fly local, USA airlines are an embarrassment to world aviation. Perhaps I wouldn't complain as much if the flights were on time and they'd give me a full meal! But they don't even do this! Instead we get smaller spaces and have the nerve of charging to warm up with their hair-filled blankets!
