Spirit Airlines is dropping some fares down to a penny. Beyond that penny, all the customer has to pay is the $52 fuel fee, and $45 dollars to travel with luggage, and a $40-per-year membership fee. Oh, and $19 in taxes, too.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Minnesota Public Radio News' blogger Bob Collins who's been been writing about a number of fees in various industries on the Newscut blog.
