abcnews.go.com/Travel/spirit-airlines-fee-talking-human-airport/story?id=11306933Seriously, Spirit is getting just as ridiculous as RyanAir in terms of going well past no-frills into negative-frills or inverted-frills. I already swore never to fly them again after having the rudest bleeping experience ever when I had to fly them out of Florida once, but now they're charging fees for every conceivable thing. And when you look at their prices, there's really not much of a huge difference between them or JetBlue or Southwest, so why would I bother suffering when I can just deal with the others? So no need to tell me to not fly them, because I'm not planning on it. At least they don't have ads on their luggage compartments yet. "Spirit Airlines considering fee for ______" really needs to become a new meme.

"Spirit Airlines considering fee for ______" really needs to become a new meme. I'm in favor of that. "Spirit Airlines considering fee for bringing own magazines onto flight."

They're also charging for carry-ons and judging by the CEO's denial, may have also considered BATHROOM FEES!
Well I know what airline not to go on in the future.

Sounds to me like they're following the Ryanair model of proposing total nonsense to get people to pay attention, and then waving their arms around shouting "AT LEAST WE'RE CHEAP!!"

Spirit, Spirit, Spirit. You guys got me to Florida twice (2005 and 2006). I enjoyed both times.
You guys are usually awesome, why are you being stupid?

If they keep going like this, I will be shocked if Spirit Airlines doesn't go under within a year.
