Careful Of Booking Spirit Airlines

[sal7202]

Spirit’s new approach liberates customers from being forced into paying for services they do not desire or use.

 

Really, how many passengers don't want to trvel with luggage?:confused:

According to Spirit..30 to 50% of their passangers do not check luggage.

I don't have an issue with paying for an "extra bag"...what is annoying is that when I booked on line, there was no statement that came up telling me the rules were changing. That would have been nice to know before I booked - this is not insignificant when you are flying to a cruise - there is simply a lot to pack. I may have made a different choice of carrier, esepcially when a cruise is involved - it is hard to get a delayed bag to you when you are in the middle of the Caribbean Sea!!!

 

Don't get me wrong, I am happy to pay extra for my second bag - what is bothersome is that there is no guarantee it will get there (but is there very really a guarantee??:o ) and second, if they won't take it, what are you supposed to do with your suitcase - I am pretty sure that airport secruity has removed any lockers where you could store it for a week... Will Spirit hold your bag for you I wonder?

It looks like it's for new reservations only - you may want to call for clarification. From Spirit's website:

 

** For all new reservations for travel after June 19, 2007 customers will be given the allowance of one carry-on bag with the option to check additional bags for a fee. By early June, customers will have the ability to reserve their baggage for travel after June 19th at a reduced rate at spiritair.com. For details, visit spiritair.com.
