I guess my question is if I had asked, would I have been able to pre-pay for my carry-on and get the additional $10 discount at ticketing at the airport? Anyone know?

Thanks,

No. There is no discount buying bags with the ticket at the counter. Typically, the counter agents will advise you to book bags online. You basically get one discount or the other. Save $19 for the ticket buy buying at the airport, but lose out the $10 discount (for bags) which is only available if you buy through spirit.com. Basically, if you know you will need to check a bag or carry on a bag, you save money with $9 Fare Club membership, and buying with the ticket at spirit.com.
