But they don’t appear on price comparison sites. So if you’re shopping around and you see a Delta flight for $300 and a Spirit flight for $200 you have no idea which is actually cheaper. Every time I’ve flown Spirit the baggage price has been variable (based on miles flown maybe? No idea) so it’s not like comparison sites could even add it if they wanted to.
- sofixa 3y ago> But they don’t appear on price comparison sites Depends on the website. Skyscanner include that kind of thing, as well as seat pitch, if food is included, etc.
- orochimaaru 3y agoWhy would that be the airlines problem? The price comparison sites make their money off a different model. Maybe the sites need to fix their logic. It’s irritating but it’s not the airlines responsibility to support the comparison sites.
- earthling8118 3y agoWhy does it need to be their problem to matter? It's an annoyance, and it can cause enough friction to stop potential customers.
- matwood 3y agoGoogle flights lets you add bags and shows/include baggage fees. For Spirit, baggage fees are also clearly listed here: https://www.spirit.com/optional-services https://www.spirit.com/optional-services
- vinaypai 3y agoI don't know which sites you use, but Kayak and Google Flights both let you input the number of checked and carry-on bags you're traveling with and include those fees in the comparison.
- anotheruser13 3y agoAirlines like Spirit and Frontier are just the "bus fare". Want anything extra, like a carry on bag? You'll have to pay for it. Learned my lesson, will just book Southwest or similar next time.
