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.
The fees for checked baggage on Spirit will follow a similar scale to the carry-on fees. For domestic flights, club members pay $15 each for the first and second bag, each way. Paying in advance for nonclub members is $25 per bag, and checking a bag at the airport without paying in advance is $45.
