If my bag doesn't fit in box, it's a $100 fee at the gate to make it a carryon, and I'm not about to drop $100 because my bag was over by like an inch. Anyone that has flown Spirit before, how strict are they on this? I'm flying into O'Hare (ORD) if that makes a difference, and my flight is tonight so I really need to know. Thanks!
Isn't the question about standards at the airport you're leaving from rather than the airport, in this case ORD, that you're traveling to?
What is your originating airport for this travel? Where are you starting?
