*Plan for luggage fees when you travel with the discount carriers.

*Domestic Fares Notes:  We often put fares in here from the “discount carriers:”  JetBlue, Spirit, Allegiant, etc.  We typically advise people to plan for luggage fees (if you don’t pack REALLY light), and try not to use these flights for critical trips (like family weddings).  We’ve taken lots of successful flights with the discount carriers - and have had overwhelmingly good results.  But, when a flight gets cancelled - you’re going to be waiting a full day or more for another one.  That can be a deal breaker on a lot of trips.
