The fine print

Although you'll find discounts on both Saver and Main fares, the cheapest fares available will be the Saver fares, which allow passengers one carry-on and personal item. Checked luggage starts at $30 each way. Saver fares can be changed or canceled within 24 hours of purchase. For $100 round-trip, you can upgrade to the main cabin.
