Spirit Airlines is about to roll out tickets that include perks like free snacks and no fee for checking a bag. It’s quite a reversal for the airline known for low base fares but lots of fees. Spirit said Tuesday it will offer several new packages that bundle popular options like priority check-in and a roomier seat. CEO Ted Christie says the changes are taking low-fare travel to new heights, but they also expose the weaknesses in Spirit’s longtime business model. The airline has lost nearly $2.4 billion since the start of 2020.
