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.
Solution: Pay Spirit's carry-on fee during online booking when it's only $35 or check a bag with them for a mere $30. Or fly any U.S. airline (other than the ones named above) and get a carry-on for free. But first, compare airfare prices to see which offers the best overall bargain.
