I just saw on MSN how Spirit is adding even more fees!! Their newest fee, called a passenger usage fee, adds nearly $34 in fees just to buy their tickets online. The only way most customers can avoid the fee is to head to the airport and wait in line to see a ticket agent there. They're also charging $5 per boarding pass they have to print at the gate. Yuck!!
Crazy. It's gonna get to the point where Congress or somebody mandates that all fees be included in the price quote. I pretty much ignore their advertised price these days.
I used to subscribe to Spirit airlines website to see if I could take advantage of their "low" fares. I stopped watching them long ago because their fees and lack of customer service horror stories.
