This will never fly! I travel frequently and have flown on Sprit. I sometime bring two or three bags because of business. This will give me a reason NOT to select Spirit. If you recall NW tried to collect an additional five dollars for a pre-reserved seat and look where it got them? This will not last because you cannot charge people who do not fly your airline.
