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.
Can we do Frontier next?
Frontier used to be such an awesome airline before they pivoted and raced to the bottom.
