And it keeps getting worse

Spirit Airlines has added a $2 "unintended consequence" fee to all of its tickets.
...
The carrier says in a release the "regulation requiring airlines to hold fares for 24 hours after booking without penalty comes with unintended consequences and is costing consumers millions. To cover the costs of this misguided and expensive regulation, Spirit is introducing the $2 DOTUC (D.O.T. unintended consequence) fee."
