Does Spirit charge twice for bags?

And remember: Those are one-way charges. You'll have to double it for a roundtrip flight. For years, there was an easy way to save on these carry-on fees: the Spirit Saver$ Club, the airline's $70-a-year membership program that saved travelers $7 (or more) on bag fees among other perks.
