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 $100 carry-on fee. That's not a misprint, Spirit Airlines charges one hundred bucks each way for a carry-on bag if you wait to pay for it at the airport gate. Frontier used to charge the same but lowered it to $50, possibly to match Allegiant.
