i find the charging for carryons dumb. HOWEVER, airlines need to start forcing the policy of 1 carry on and 1 personal item. i flew on AA a couple weeks ago to DFW and 1 person...had 2 rollerboards and a backpack!! they were traveling alone and on top they decided they needed to preboard...thankfully the agent wouldnt let them, then another pax had a bag so large, there was no way it could fit in the bin. i can see why spirit is deciding this although its dumb. some people pack a carry on and in reality it really should be a checked bag....im sorry but a carry on shouldnt weigh 50 lbs but some people think it should, then they want the airline attendants to put it up for them.....im not hurting myself on the job...i know i should help,but im not going to get hurt. i wont be surprised if majors start doing this within the next year or 2 as well.
southwest isn't always the cheapest. im trying to book a flight to FLL and AA was cheaper (even checking 2 bags) than southwest
