The previous fee was $45 for both domestic and international fliers.

Overall effective Nov. 6, it will cost fliers $5 to $10 more in carry-on bag fees when purchased online, at a reservation center, an airport kiosk or counter or as a $9 Club Fare member, according to Spirit.

 The new bag fees will range from $25 to $100 per carry-on bag, up from $20 to 45.

The new structure that takes effect Tuesday will streamline its bag fees, making them identical for domestic and international travelers, Spirit said.
