Airlines will make a record $118 billion in extra fees this year—their websites are designed to get you to pay::Airlines are piling on fees for checked bags, assigned seats, and other extras. Here’s how their websites pressure fliers into paying for them.
Yup, I saved over 3/4 by scoring a Spirit flight during the afternoon and evening yesterday instead of leaving at 9 pm and landing at midnight like all their other flights I just had a “personal item” and didn’t select a seat. They did get me with the “security pass” which they said would get you through security faster. I asked them when I got to security and they said “that’s only to get you from the podium (entry) to security”… Which I had just walked through in 30 seconds.
All the major airlines wanted like $350-450 for the same time and trip.
