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 Airlines passengers who don't prepay carry-on baggage fees will face a charge of $100 for paying at the gate â more than double the current rate. Beginning Nov. 6, Spirit Airlines Inc. will slap those passengers with the high fee if they wait and pay for carry-on luggage at the last minute, the Miramar, Fla.,-based airlines said. Spirit's charge is now $45.
