BRADENTON, Fla. â The sun had not yet set last Friday on a field ringed by palm trees when, on the first play from scrimmage, Shea Patterson rolled to his left and threw a 69-yard touchdown pass for his high school, IMG Academy, a private, for-profit sports boarding school.
Spirit is one of two domestic carriers that charge for carry-on bags. The other is Allegiant Air, which instituted a fee last month. On that carrier, a carry-on costs as much as $35.
Spirit will now charge $100 at the gate â more than double what fliers had to pay before â if you did not pay a carry on fee before you got to the airport. The last-minute carry on fee had been $45. The new fee takes effect Nov. 6. You can read more about this at the Detroit Free Press.
