Spirit Airlines...
just looking at their website for a potential bachelorette party in Myrtle beach..
wow they get you for everything..
$35 each way for a CARRY ON?!?!?! WHAAAAT ?!?!  
and $30 each way for a checked bag?!?!
that is ridiculous! and why is it more money to have a carry on than a checked bag!?!?! 
it is not like their fares are THAT low to begin with (at least the dates I am looking at)

Re: Spirit Airlines...
I flew Spirit once and will NEVER fly them again! I would rather spend a little more and fly Jet Blue then fly with them again. They charge for the bags to compensate for their lower fares... you must be flying at a time when fares are higher than usual.

The carry on thing is to help speed boarding and encourage you to check a bag instead of a carry on.
They are the best option to Myrtle Beach though. I fly them often - when they ate goof they are good, when they are bad, they are horrible. And their customer service sucks.

ITA. Unfortunately you are at their Mercy since they are the only non stop from NY to MB.

Re: Spirit Airlines...
I don't know if its a daily thing or what, but I checked our spring break dates and it came up from LGA direct. The only problem was its over $400 and I felt put refuse to spend that much for Myrtle Beach. I think we're going to drive.

Re: Spirit Airlines...
I wonder if they just added it or spring break? If you look up 3/23-3/30 you'll see it.

So does Spirit - and $30 for a carry on.
I think the Delta non-stop is only on weekends. We're going on a Tues through the following Fri on Spirit. Wish me luck!!!
