Spirit bag fees for non-revs?
I about had a heart attack when I saw that Spirit charges $35 to bring a carry on a flight.
Does anybody know who works there if a non-rev (non employee) is charged all the standard bag fees? I'm assuming the answer is yes.
Thanks.

Effective Nov 6th, regular carry-on fees become $100, $50, and $35, respectively.
All of this is available online Spirit Airlines - cheap tickets, cheap flights, discount airfare, cheap hotels, cheap car rentals, cheap travel

If I buy an airline ticket on Spirit, can the Spirit agents wave the bag fees at check-in if I show my airline id (I know, stretching) or do I have to pay the bag fees like everyone else? I can't find any interline fare information on Spirit and I want to take my family. This is why I am considering buying tickets.

Well if I was a pilot on a full fare ticket who coughed up cash for a carry-on and suddenly the pilots went Tango Uniform while en-route because they both had the bad fish meal, I guess Spirit management would have to negotiate very quickly with me about my fee to land their airplane.

Now if you land it in the US and are a hero.... versus in one of the completely sketchy countries they fly to and selling it to the highest bidder on the spot... now thats up to them.

Don't want to be stressed about getting on in a peak time. I just bought the ticket. I feel shame buying 3 airline tickets for my family as an airline pilot. I guess I'm still living in the past where non-revving was easy and an assumed benefit.
