$100 Airline Baggage Fee?

Hang on to your wallet, or don't take any bags with you when you fly!

Discount airline, Spirit, is proposing a hefty fee if you don't pay to check your bags in advance.  $35 in advance at the time of  booking, or $100 at the gate.  Talk about Highway Robbery!

Obviously, an effort to get passengers to pay to have their bags checked in advance, and to get people to not carry anything on board that goes in the overhead bin!  Of course, it is also an effort to circumvent the process of regulated air fare rate approvals, and yet find a way to enhance profits.  I say, "throw out the government regulations on the cost of an airline ticket and let the market place prevail.  I believe competition will win out with higher quality service and better rates!"  Works every time!
