It's a common practice of the discount industry in Europe, like Ryan
Air. A rock bottom price with a fee for everything on top of it,
including headphones, pillows, beverages. I am less offended by
Spirit Air doing this than United. Spirit Air is a discount operator.
United is supposed to be a full-fare, full-service airline. I assume
that Spirit does it to keep the base fare low. United does it to tack
more money on to their bottom line.

Ryanair also charge for checking in at the airport - honest.
