Here comes another $9 Fare Club Sale from Spirit. Yes, it is possible to snag a $9 one-way fare, or an $18 round-trip fare, as long as you're a member of the $9 Fare Club. Otherwise, round-trip fares will run you $58 or more. Dates are limited with fares this low, but it is possible to piece together a round-trip.

Fares include:

Atlantic City to Boston $18 round-trip

Atlanta to Ft Lauderdale $28 round-trip

Boston to Ft Lauderdale $28 round-trip

Detroit to Las Vegas $100 round-trip

Ft Lauderdale to Los Angeles $100 round-trip

Ft Lauderdale to Nassau $119 round-trip

Ft Lauderdale to San Juan $72 round-trip

Orlando to San Juan $73 round-trip

Travel dates vary by route so check Spirit for details. All bookings must be made by September 9.

Southwest passengers eager to snag first dibs on seats and overhead bins can now fork over $10 each-way for the privilege. As of today, Southwest is offering EarlyBird Check-in, allowing passengers to choose seats and store bags before general boarding, but after Business Select and Rapid Rewards A-List passengers.

EarlyBird Check-in is available for purchase up until 25 hours before scheduled departure time, and passengers will be boarded into three A, B, and C groups.

So is it worth it? If you're at all particular about where you sit, then we suppose so. And judging by the cattle-call scenes at most gates come boarding time, we imagine this is something folks would purchase, in the same way that people seem to buy Mountain Dew flavored Doritos, Rhoombas, and other stuff you could surely stand to do without. Maybe we're being overly no-frills and curmudgeon-ish, but we say, big whoop. Save your $10 for Cinnabon. You'll still get on the plane, and so will your carry-on (wherever it is you have to stash it).
