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.
Passengers who purchase tickets on Frontier's web site will incur no additional charge for a carry-on bag. The cost of a carry-on for passengers booking on third-party sites is $25 - $100. The fees will go into effect this summer, the carrier said, with the date to be announced soon. All customers are allowed one free personal item, such as a briefcase or purse, for free. The personal item must fit in under the seat.
