Spirit Airlines CEO stuffs himself in an overhead bin to justify paid carry-on fees

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Sure they do - I Agree. But once you start thinking like that, the bathroom, legroom, oxygen, pilot pay and window shade are all "hidden" in the fee. Up until now, carry on bags and checked bags were always part of the ticket price. The a la carte method of ticketing is opening up all kinds of options for the airlines.

That said - I do agree with compressing 3 bags to 2, but that is starting to take away the fun of travel. We've already had to deal with toiletries, and now we need to leave stuff at home just because airlines want to make some extra $$$.
