The world's stingiest airline gets worse
Passengers on Spirit Airlines, who already forgo both large hand luggage and hold bags for its bargain-basement "Bare Fares", are having the size of their tiny "personal item" allowance cut by a quarter. Until April 4, travellers opting for the lowest price tariff can only bring a modestly-sized handbag on board: up to 42,000cm³ (40 x 35 x 30 cm). But after that date, those "personal items" will have to be 25% smaller - no more than 31,500cm³ (45 x 35 x 20 cm). To put that in perspective, Ryanair's hand baggage allowance is 44,000cm³ (55 x 40 x 20 cm), plus a personal item such as a handbag sized 14,000cm³ (35 x 20 x 20 cm). "A ticket with us gets you and a personal item from A to B," says Spirit--no luggage, in-flight entertainment, complimentary refreshments or seat reservations. <br/>
