Oh wow, what a way to spin it!

Well, if Spirit Airlines is in fact being ingenuous, then they're -at best- one of the good guys demonstrating Why We Can't Have Nice Things.

What happens is that -in some countries I've visited- people can legally advertise a particular sticker price, and then when you actually go to pay, you pay a very different amount. That threw me for a loop the first time I encountered it. I felt they were being tremendously dishonest.

Where I live, you are totally permitted and encouraged to also provide an itemized price breakdown, but the sticker price is what I'm paying you at the end of the day. No surprises for the consumer.
