Spirit Airlines agreed to pay $8.25 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over its bag fees, attorneys for the plaintiffs disclosed Wednesday.
A group of first-time Spirit flyers who booked their trips through third-party travel sites between 2011-17 sued the airline in 2017, claiming that it did not disclose its bag fees and other extra fees appropriately.
The flyers said the budget airline’s surprise carry-on bag fees were intentionally hidden in an effort to gain profit.
“Company builds entire business model on tricking consumers and overcharging for basic flight needs”
Now let’s do every single airline for operating like fucking organized crime and gouging people for using the previously free space built into the fucking plane. The entire industry is out of fucking date and needs to be done away with
I flew Spirit regularly for years. Even with the up front bag fees, they were still consistently cheaper in most cases. I could get a first class seat and full baggage service for less than economy on a major airline.
Now, if Spirit didn’t expose the baggage fees to customers booked through third parties, then demanded a king’s ransom at the baggage counter, that deserves a paddlin’.
Can we do Frontier next?
Fuck Spirit Aitlines.
May they be sued out of existence.
They got bought by JetBlue and are supposed to be combined at some point.
And now what about every other airline
Is that it?
