That’s one word Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood used to describe the new carry-on baggage fees announced this week by Spirit Airlines. LaHood also told Christopher Elliott that his department aims to do something about it:
I think it’s a bit outrageous that an airline is going to charge someone to carry on a bag and put it in the overhead. And I’ve told our people to try and figure out a way to mitigate that. I think it’s ridiculous.
