Typically I fly on another airline on which I am a "million mile flyer". I am admittedly gatwick luxury accommodation spoiled rotten as I pay no baggage fees, no carry on fees and don't have to wait in long lines at security. Yes, there are blackout periods and double mileage requirements at times but nothing gatwick luxury accommodation that is too unreasonable. This other airline however, does not fly to Myrtle Beach, SC where we go regularly. We usually fly into Charlotte, NC, rent a car and drive 4 hours to get there. But that gets old. Really old.
Closer to the trip I realized that when I booked I had not been directed to seat assignments. So, I went back to your site to take care of it. We like to sit together. Call me crazy. Now, if it said anywhere that only random seating was free, I will declare myself legally blind. I was directed to a page that gave me a seating chart and rates. gatwick luxury accommodation Imagine my surprise when I discovered I had to pay for my seat! I could pay $35 per person each way to get a nice big seat in the front. I guess that's your version of first class but with no free booze. Or, I could pay $25 for a not so big seat. And if I was going to be really cheap, I could pay $1o for a crappy, small seat near the back of the plane. One that only realistically should be reserved for small children or people with really short legs. I took the $10 seats and that alone tacked $80 to my fare. $10 x 4 people x each way. Ridiculous.And sat with my knees practically shoved into my throat.
I was then directed to check my bags. Now, I realize airlines do charge for bags and I expected it. But usually it's a $25 fee. Yours was $28 when I first looked but went up to $33 by the time I paid for them. Then the charges for carry on popped up. You've got to be kidding! $35 for a carry on bag. If we each had one suitcase and one carry one we would have to add $73 per person each way to our fare.
So, suddenly my $167 round trip fare was $313. And this was only if I booked online. At this point my husband and I decided we would share one bag and my girls would share one bag. We had to pack very carefully to ensure we didn't go over the usual 50 pound weight limit. But wait!! Spirit gatwick luxury accommodation has a 40 pound weight limit. Imagine that. And if a bag is 41 pounds another $25 is added and so on and so on.
So we emptied and weighed and emptied and weighed. Since we had waited to see how many bags we would actually have I didn't pay till the night before and had to pay the extra $5 per bag. None of us took a carry on, I just took a large purse that probably weighed close to the 40 pounds my suitcase weighed as I stuffed whatever I could into it.
I made sure to pee before I got on the aircraft as I was certain you had converted your toilets to a pay per use. And we didn't need to worry about drinking anything and filling our bladders:  you don't even give your passengers a cup of water without charging. $3 for a bottle of water. You should be ashamed.
I now hear that your fees are going up. For poor schmucks that don't have a printer at home they are really screwed as you will make them pay to print a boarding pass at your kiosks! $2 there and $5 if they print with an agent. And the grand daddy charge of them all: $100 for a carry on bag if you check in through an agent.
Just for grins I have calculated a round trip ticket for someone who shows up at the airport to check in with an agent. One carry one, one checked bag. A front seat and a ticket counter printed boarding gatwick luxury accommodation pass. $507.
Great post. Glad someone else loathes Spirit Airlines like I do. We don't fly much, but when we went to Mexico, we flew Spirit. We booked late, so we had a layover in Ft. Lauderdale. No big deal, that wasn't the issue. But the issue was, as you said, the extra fees. At O'Hare, the check-in agent was a nice guy and didn't make us pay for some of our carry ons because they were small. It was a short trip and we didn't check any baggage.
In Cancun, though, the lady at check in was a real you know what. She made us pay for everything, even though we had the same stuff heading back to Chicago that we did coming from Chicago. That company needs to get their collective gatwick luxury accommodation you know what together. The fees are ridiculous. It's amazing they're still in business.
I agree. I received an email from a gal who had done a study o Spirit - told me that at one point 97% of Spirits profits were from non-ticket revenue. Disgusting. Thanks for your comment, I know who we WON'T be flying.
Yes, we had a great time but of course gatwick luxury accommodation were nervous wrecks because I bought a sweater and a couple shirts and was afraid it would cost me the extra $25 in over weight baggage. Luckily, I told the guy at the baggage check how he looked like a guy who won The Bachelorette gatwick luxury accommodation and he was too busy turning red to notice we were 2 pounds over :)
My brother has flown Spirit from Chicago to Boston gatwick luxury accommodation probably a dozen times and never pays more than $100 for a round trip ticket nor does he ever pay any Spirit fees. You do not need to reserve any seat online when you pay for your ticket. Spirit always sets aside a set number of seats for check the day of your flight. Every single time my brother checks in for Spirit he does it in the airline terminal and always gets a great seat without paying anything. He then brings a carry on bag and when they ask people to come up and pay for them, he puts his head phones, ignores them and walks straight on to the plane.
gatwick luxury accommodation You're allowed your one personal item. So I imagine your brother uses that as his carry on and that is why he is not being charged. I won't be flying them again so it's not an issue but thanks for your input. Maybe someone else will use the headphone thing successfully, I like it!
