Actually, this is likely more possible than you think.
True story: I just flew from Italy to Atlanta and the agent at the counter mislabeled my bag by misspelling my name with a dude that was apparently going to Houston. Suffice it to say, I was livid, and didn't get my bag until almost 4 days later.

I will literally never fly Spirit again in my life if I can help it. Their brand is "the airline that saves you money", but they get you with all the hidden fees anyways and then their planes suck donkey balls.
Oh and have fun everyone!
Yeah, they'll save you money if you have no bags, have a printer, and don't want a seat. Let me see if I can lay out their pricing, because I was on the phone trying to finagle through their labyrinth of a phone menu for hours.
The flat rate was ASTRONOMICALLY CHEAP! $60 from Orlando to Atlanta. What a deal!
-Don't book over the phone or else it's $25 extra.
-Print off ticket before you get to the check-in counter. If you don't, that'll be $10 extra.
-To check a bag is $35. Well, that's about on par with most other airlines. Except...
-the weight limit is 40 pounds. Any more and it's $100 extra.
-to bring a CARRY-ON, it is $45. That's right, it's more expensive to bring on a bloody purse.
-You then have to buy a seat, for a minimum of $10. But you can't just stand in the back- that's a safety concern. So why wasn't that just tacked onto the initial price..?? Like, what?
-drinks and snacks cost money. Even a cup of BLOODY TAP WATER cost $2.
At this point I was half expecting them to charge for seatbelts and bathroom use. I ended up spending 50% more on a flight that should have been more upfront with their pricing.
