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 new carry-on fee is for bags in the overhead bin. Frontier said it will charge $25 if the fee is paid in advance, $100 if travelers wait to pay until they're at the gate. There will be no charge for smaller items tucked under the seat ahead of the passenger.
