Hi all,
I'm flying Spirit for an upcoming trip and would like to avoid the checked bag/carry-on fee if possible by taking an A30 or A45 as my "personal item." The problem is, the dimensions for those are very small: 16”x14”x12”, and both the A30 and A45 are obviously much larger than that (the A45 is actually larger than my small rolling suitcase I have.)
My question is, since the Aeronauts are soft bags, would it be possible to fit them into the personal item requirement if I can just squish them to fit in the space? I don't plan to stuff the bag full so there should be some extra room to flatten it a bit. Has anyone done something similar, or should I just pony up the extra cash for a carry-on?
