Passengers will be charged an additional $5 starting Nov. 1 unless they print out a boarding pass at home or at the airport check-in kiosk. But beginning next June, even printing out at a kiosk will cost a dollar.
To counter the new fee, the low-cost carrier will cut fares on all nonstop flights by $5 each way later this year.
Spirit, which flies out of LAX, is the only domestic airline that charges extra for carry-on luggage.
