In some cases, that’s almost half the fare.
Here’s how it works.
Turns out, this arbitrary fee is actually all because of a tax workaround.
However, the key word here is “optional.”
And waiving the passenger usage fee for customers who book in person is Spirit’s method of choice.
For some travelers, though, the hassle can be worth it.
Spirit charges passengers to choose their seats, which is not great for families who want to sit together.
The airline is also notorious for charging forcarry-onsas well as checked bags.
Let’s hope you’re traveling light.
Fees for checked bags can range between $30 and $100.
