what is spirits passenger usage fee
What is the Passenger Usage Fee? The cornerstone of the lawsuit is Spiritâs Passenger Usage Fee (PUF). The fee is $8.99 â $16.99 per customer, each way. In other words, when you purchase a round trip ticket, you will pay an additional $17.98 â $33.98 on top of your airfare. The fee is listed as an optional booking-related fee on Spiritâs website. The lawsuit claims that this is deceptive and misleading as the majority of passengers pay the PUF. Technically, the fee is optional. In order to avoid the fee, passengers have to purchase at Spiritâs airport ticket counters.
