Yet another silly $45 add on by Spirit Air
TRAVEL CRITIC
Spirit Airline the so called ULCC (Ultra Low Cost Carrier) is due to charge travellers $45 for carry on luggage each way
Spirit Airline Inc. the Miramar, Florida based airline has added yet another fee for its customers; they are due to start charging travellers as much as $45 for Carry on Luggage that fits in the over head bins, the new fee is due to take affect for flights on or after 1 August.
They have been so nice, not to charge for carry on luggage that fits under the seats, hurray, although we all know that barely nothing fits under the seats, and also takes up your leg room, that was already limited in an Airline like Spirit Air.
The CEO of spirit Air Ben Baldanza said, having fewer carry-on bags will help empty the plane faster, he said the idea is to get customers to pay for individual things they want while keeping the fare low
What a load of Rubbish, I think also having an empty plane will also help to empty the plane quicker, sometimes after all customers do get in the way of running an Airline business.
Low cost airlines are meant to give travellers an alternative to expensive air fares charged by traditional airlines, but when there are a lot of hidden charges for everything from Food, Drink, Blankets, Pillows and Luggage, in the end they are more hassle, stress and almost the same price as any other airline.
You got to ask yourself, are they worth it?
Non Existent Customer care and Cramped flight conditions, its getting to a time now that these airlines, will even start charging customers for Oxygen during the flight, after all the Oxygen needs to be filtered and provided by the airline.
In the long run some of these budget airlines are becoming joke and their so called low cost fares are a gimmick because after adding all the taxes, added fees and credit card charges they are just as expensive as any traditional airline.
Customers should vote with their feet, to stamp out these gimmicks, unless if you want to travel without a luggage.
On the other hand, it maybe cheaper to ship your luggage before hand anyway.
Its not as if travellers are asking for Champagne, Caviar and first class serve for a budget cost, all travellers are asking is for a clear set price for an airline ticket that has basic food, drink and a luggage allowance included.
So in conclusion, the passengers and customers of Spirit Air, are not worthy of respect
