Spirit Airlines is an ultra-low-cost carrier operating a large domestic U.S. network with additional routes to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America. Spirit's model strips fares to the absolute base price — you pay separately for bags, seat selection, and carry-ons. For light travelers who know the rules, Spirit can deliver a genuinely low total price. FaresMatch can help you compare Spirit's full cost against other airlines and make sure you're booking the best deal.

Tips for booking cheap Spirit flights
Spirit's base fare looks very cheap, but carry-on bags ($25–$65), checked bags ($30–$65), and seat selection all cost extra. Always add these before comparing to other airlines to see the true total.
Spirit allows one free personal item that fits under the seat (max 18×14×8 inches). Any bag larger than that — including a standard carry-on — costs extra. Pack light to avoid fees entirely.
Bag fees are cheapest when added during booking. Adding a bag at check-in or at the gate is significantly more expensive — sometimes double the price.
Spirit's cheapest fares on leisure routes tend to appear on Tuesday and Wednesday departures. Spirit also runs regular flash sales that can push prices extremely low for short windows.
Frequently asked questions
Is Spirit Airlines safe to fly?
Yes — Spirit operates a modern, fuel-efficient Airbus A320 family fleet and holds a standard U.S. DOT operating certificate. Like all U.S. airlines, Spirit is subject to FAA safety oversight. The airline's low-cost model affects service and extras, not the safety or airworthiness of its flights.
What is Spirit's Big Front Seat?
Spirit's Big Front Seat is a larger seat at the front of the aircraft with more legroom and width — similar in size to a domestic first class seat. It does not include meal service or priority boarding but is a popular upgrade for taller passengers on longer Spirit flights.
Does Spirit have a free carry-on allowance?
No — Spirit charges for carry-on bags. Only one personal item (under-seat bag, max 18×14×8 inches) is free. Any standard-sized carry-on requires an additional fee, which is lowest when added during booking and most expensive at the gate.
What is Spirit's cancellation policy?
Spirit's standard tickets are non-refundable. Cancellations more than 24 hours before departure earn a flight credit valid for 12 months. Tickets can be changed for a fee. Free Spirit members have access to the Spirit Saver$ Club which includes some flexibility benefits.
Does Spirit fly internationally?
Yes — Spirit serves destinations in Mexico (Cancun, Los Cabos), the Caribbean (Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Barbados), Central America (Costa Rica, Honduras), and South America (Colombia, Peru). International routes are more limited than the domestic network.
