You might think I'm crazy, but I enjoy the whole traveling experience.  I love flying.  I love the airports and airport food.

And the people-watching at airports is awesome.

But some things could be better, and Spirit Airlines has made a game-changing announcement.

If you've never flown out of Atlantic City International Airport, you are missing out.  It's a great airport.  And it's right here in our community.

It's an international airport, and you can get to just about anywhere from here.  It's so much easier than going all the way to Philly.

You don't have to worry about traffic or tolls, and parking is much more convenient.

When I talk to people about flying out of Atlantic City, the subject of Spirit Airlines comes up, and many people don't like the unique way in which Spirit operates.

People say they wish the airline would make traveling easier.

People complain about the a la carte pricing policy.

Many people prefer to just pay for the tickets and be done with it.

Spirit has made some changes in policy that those people may prefer.

Spirit has announced today that they will now offer four package deals for travelers to choose from.

The least expensive package is the one they've been using.  Think of it as no-frills.

Now, they offer a premium package that includes a checked bag, snacks and drinks (including adult beverages), Wi-Fi, and priority check-in.

They also offer two other packages that include special seating drinks and more.

Of course, those premium packages come with premium price tags, but at least you have some pretty attractive options.

I'll stick with the no-frills option.  Here's a tip, I ship my belongings ahead of my trip.

You can send a box of your stuff to the motel or resort and that's one less thing to worry about.
