Day 157
Pterodactyl Airlines … I think I’d prefer to fly on them than Spirit Airlines (whom I’m scheduled on for my upcoming flight).
I think with P.A. I’d be strapped to the wings and have to flap my arms all the way … but maybe they wouldn’t charge me for my CARRY ON BAG?! Who knows!
I booked flights (round trip) with Spirit about a month ago. Tonight my dad told me that they charge for carry on baggage.
You have GOT to be kidding me. Well, no, unfortunately, he wasn’t.
I got home from dinner and looked it up and yes, though I got a great, CHEAP flight – just shy of $200, I also got … ZINGED.
ZING!
My once cheap flight now cost me $70 bucks MORE! What a rip off!
Unbeknownst to me (and probably all of their first-time flyers) they charge for, not only, checked baggage … but CARRY ONS, too! Egad people!
And, if you WAIT until you get to the airport you are charged MORE than if you check your bag WHEN you make your reservation (well, I didn’t know that was an option or needed!) … or even online when you are checking in (which I did).
EACH WAY it is costing me an additional $33 to check my bag. If I wanted to CARRY ON my luggage I’d have to pay $35. Go figure! So, for $2 less I will take the gigantic behemoth suitcase that hasn’t been on a trip in eons and lug all sorts of unnecessary items with me to and fro my destination!
How silly is that!
Sigh.
But I could SAVE $9 on my baggage fee if I wanted to JOIN THE CLUB for a mere $59.95 a year. WHERE exactly is the savings there?! I’m still trying to figure out that logic!
Anyway, I shall see how this flight compares to Pterodactyl Airlines … I might not have to sit on the wing and flap my arms for 1000 miles … but I can tell you right now … my SPIRIT has already been dampened!
ZING!
