I’ve said it before. If the company was smart they would sell on the website, logo luggage that fits the specific size requirement for a personal item (under the seat) and a standard carry on (overhead). No measuring by the agent allowing for a quicker boarding process.
In one of those Spirit 101 videos from a few years ago they showed the good looking man and woman undressing to show just how much can be fit in a personal item. Those bags were not like any I’ve seen in a store and presumably fit the personal item sizer exactly. Why are we not selling those bags?
