15 Things Travelers Should Know Before Flying Spirit Airlines for the First Time

*in an ominous voice* It’s time.

I’ve shared my thoughts on Avelo .

I’ve shared my thoughts on Contour .

I’ve shared my thoughts on Frontier .

Today I’m sharing my thoughts on Spirit.

I first flew the budget carrier back in 2018, from Orlando to Asheville and back, and my flight more or less went off without a hitch. It helped that I’d previously flown Allegiant, and thus had some exposure to the ULCC (that’s Ultra-Low Cost Carrier ) flying experience.

Since then, I’ve flown Spirit more times than I care to admit. It doesn’t feel unfair to say the airline would be most travelers’ last choice (if money were no object, I doubt many would choose Spirit over a legacy carrier, wouldn’t you agree?), but the opportunity to save valuable travel dollars is what gets me on board, every time.

With all of this first-hand experience under my belt, plus a recent refresher thanks to a $75 fare to Boston , I thought it was high time to put together my review of Spirit Airlines.

New to flying Spirit? Here are fifteen things you need to know before flying Spirit for the first time:

1. You won’t be the only one

I’ve had enough conversations with seatmates to know that new passengers fly the airline every day. Even if you feel frustrated by the airline’s many quirks, you can find comfort in knowing you’re not alone. In casual conversations with the airline’s crew, I’ve also learned that for many, this is their first flight ever . If that’s you, I’m honored to be your guide today and help make your first adventure a breeze (so you can keep on flying to new destinations !). And if it’s not your first time flying ever? This is a good reminder to treat your fellow passengers with grace.

2. Bob and weave those extra charges

Trying to purchase tickets on Spirit’s website turns my internal “scam alert” signal on. From sneaky buttons to try to get you to enroll in the Spirit Saver$ Club (recurring annual fee: $69.95) to pop-up windows flashing with rental car deals, I find that the purchasing process is incredibly off-putting. Read the fine print carefully on every screen (believe me, there are so many screens).

3. Know these money-saving tips for bags and seats

Because you’re an informed flyer, you probably already know that the price you see for a Spirit flight is only the base fare to get you from A to B. What once were considered travel essentials (you know, things like luggage and a seat assignment) are now considered add-ons. Now, I won’t tell you how and when to spend your money – if you like traveling with multiple suitcases or have a favorite seat picked out and are willing to shell out for those items, go for it!

But for my fellow travelers who prefer to save that money to spend on other things, I have a few insider tips for saving on these categories. Baggage costs on Spirit can add up quickly (as in, doubling the price of your ticket), but all travelers are entitled to bring one personal item up to 18 x 14 x 8 inches for free. For my fellow travelers who carry a purse, you’ll need to place it inside your personal item or face a hefty fee at the gate.

My recommendation is to purchase a bag that maximizes these dimensions ( this is the one I personally use and highly recommend ), and learn to pack light for your trip. Can’t quite squeeze everything into a backpack? Consider sharing a carry-on or checked bag with your travel companion, and pay for your bag when you buy your tickets for the best price.

As for seats, the only way to guarantee that you will be seated with your party is to pay for them (Spirit’s family seating policy states, “If Guests with children aged 13 and under do not opt to pre-select seats at the time of booking, our gate agents and Flight Attendants will work to provide adjacent seats when possible.”

The when possible is critical to note here – it’s not a guarantee). However, only on rare occasions have Michael and I been assigned separate seats on a Spirit flight, typically only in the event of a plane change or cancelation (more on that in a moment). My advice for travelers who are willing to sit apart if needed? Save your money and skip the seat!

4. Is it really as cheap as it seems?

Before booking your Spirit flight, double-check that the final price of your ticket (with any add-ons) is actually cheaper than the competitor’s fare. If you’re adding bags and seats, it might not be!

5. Be prepared for tons of emails

In the days leading up to your departure, be prepared for 1-2 emails per day from Spirit advertising services for sale. From bags to rental cars to hotels to bidding on a better seat, they’ll appear in your inbox. I’ve grown so used to deleting email after email from Spirit that I’ve nearly deleted my boarding pass (whoops!).

6. Play “Check-In Chicken” ( if you dare )

Didn’t pay for seats? You can play what Michael and I call “Check-In Chicken.” For passengers who did not purchase seats, Spirit typically assigns seats from the back of the plane to the front. Starting at the 24-hour mark (when check-in opens), I periodically scope out the remaining seats on my flight to pick the perfect time to check-in. Only once enough seats in the rear of the plane disappear do I actually check-in for the flight. It’s risky on a full flight – flights can be overbooked – but I value hopping right off the plane and getting out to explore my destination quickly.

After checking in, be sure to print your boarding pass at home or download the Spirit app to access a digital version. If you need to have a customer service agent print your pass for you, it will set you back a whopping $25 each. Note : In the event you are unable to access your boarding pass this way, an agent should print one for you for free. I recommend keeping this page bookmarked just in case.

7. Be prepared to be uncomfortable

Thin, hollow seats with tiny tray tables and little room for your feet – that about captures the in-flight experience on Spirit. The airline prioritizes fitting as many passengers as possible onto each of their planes, and the result is getting to feel like a sardine for a few hours. My back is always so cranky after a ULCC flight that I’ve had to set a personal max flight time of four hours on any budget airline. To ease the discomfort, I try to get as many steps in as possible before and after my flight and add in a little stretching when I can.

8. Pack your creature comforts

If your flight is long enough, in-flight snack and beverage service will be offered on your flight – but like everything else, it’s not included (even water – it feels like it should be complimentary, but it’s not). Consider packing a meal or snack and filling up your reusable water bottle to save money and the environment.

While you’re at it, toss in your noise-canceling headphones – in my experience, there tend to be more kids on a budget flight than on a legacy carrier flight (I mean, I get it – I wouldn’t want to pay mainline carrier fares for an entire family, either!). Spirit flights in particular seem to be the noisiest, and carving out a little peace and quiet goes a long way to making the experience marginally more comfortable.

9. Pockets are your friends

In addition to helping you maximize your luggage space ( fishing vests and other multi-pocket garments are popular with budget travelers for this reason), garments with pockets are incredibly helpful in-flight, as many Spirit planes lack a seat back pocket. No one wants to have to chase down an errant AirPod midflight!

10. Flight attendants with attitude

And by that, I’m not talking about a bad attitude (though everyone has an off day now and again); I’m talking about how seemingly more often than not, Spirit flights often have a few sassy flight attendants on board. Dealing with grumpy passengers all day long can’t be any fun – flight attendants who recognize the frustrations of budget travel and flip it on its head add a little levity to the experience.

11. Like flying in a commercial

Picture this: you’re just forty-five minutes away from your destination and you’re deeply engrossed in your page-turner of an eBook when a voice comes over the intercom offering an amazing deal for passengers. Your ears perk up (snacks?? Maybe it’s free snacks?!), only to feel crushing disappointment as you realize the flight attending is advertising Spirit’s credit card offerings to an incredibly captive audience. You avoid eye contact and the waving pamphlet because you are uncomfortable and have no interest in being incentivized to sit in one of these seats again.

12. A delayed flight? That’s not a surprise…

Spirit’s annual on-time performance (OTP) record falls significantly short of the national average . Make sure to leave plenty of cushion in your itinerary in case your flight is delayed – as a general rule, flights that are scheduled for earlier in the day are more likely to be on time.

13. Flight canceled? Good luck.

Despite traveling quite frequently, I’m fortunate to have experienced very few cancelations along the way. Still, the contrast between how a legacy carrier handled a cancelation ( hotels, meals, and a hefty check – aided by strict EU regulations, of course) versus how Spirit handled a cancelation ( stranded for multiple nights with no assistance) is quite stark.

While it feels good to vent to the internet about your bad experience, I also want to add a few helpful tips should you ever find yourself with a “canceled” notification from Spirit (though I sincerely hope you never do!).

Before you even start booking flights, make sure you have a great travel credit card in your wallet. Had I not booked my trip with my Chase card , I would have been stuck with the bill for the additional nights I stayed in Raleigh after my Spirit flight was canceled (they refunded about $500 in expenses incurred). Travel insurance can also be a good help here (purchased before your trip!).

But when it comes to actually dealing with the airline itself, skip the lengthy (often hours-long) telephone hold times. Instead, head over to the brand’s official account on X (formerly known as Twitter) to get the quickest, and often least painful response. You’ll also have the benefit of getting everything in writing, just in case you need any documentation down the line.

14. They fly internationally.

Most of the ULCCs in the United States have limited international flight offerings, but Spirit has a hearty network of flights between the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean. I’ve only flown internationally with Spirit once (to Cartagena ), but the flying experience was about the same as flying domestically with Spirit: not great, but so much cheaper than the next airline. This leads me to…

15. Be prepared to go back on your word

After your first Spirit flight, these two things are pretty much guaranteed to happen:

• You’ll walk off the plane, shaking your head and muttering, “Never again.”
• Next time you’re booking a flight, you’ll spot a Spirit flight that’s so cheap you go back on your word.

I suppose it could always be worse (hey, at least it’s not Frontier !).

If they should happen to “rip” the entire wheel assembly off your checked bag… GOOD luck getting reimbursed! Happened to me and they offered me $20. I sent the check to the CEO and told him apparently they needed the money more than me!

I still haven’t braved a Spirit flight, but we have flown Avelo a few times and enjoy it because the airport they fly from is 15-20 mins from our house vs 1 hour 15.

That’s good to hear about Avelo! I’ve only flown them once before, but they just launched service closer to Charlotte and I just booked my second trip. I feel like both of these airlines are fairly comparable in terms of in-flight experience and pricing, but Spirit operates many more routes overall (helpful in case of cancellation!).

You forgot to mention, Spirit, has never had a fatal accident since its inception as an airline. If you’re going to point out all the negative. Maybe you should point that out as well. How many other airlines can say that?

You have a flight that sometimes costs less than a sandwich at the airport. No reclining seats….at least the guy in front of you does not have his head in your lap! I’ve flown with spirit more than 30 times, never paid for a seat and never not sat next to my partner! Cant say the same for southwest!Get the right size bag, check one big bag between two peopleif needed in advance only $30! Newest fleet in the USA. Learn spirits rules and fly cheaply and smugly!

I agree. Plus most airlines also charge for checked bags and choosing your seats. I also found with their bag pricing policies, fewer people check a larger suitcase making decorating a lot quicker on spirit

Hey Peter, Thanks for your info. Was wondering how to check a big bag in advance. I want to travel with my golf clubs. Can you carry on a hanging bag without being charged? Thanks for your help!

Also, Spirit has upgraded services in Michigan that are not yet in other larger airports… For example, checking in your own luggage without going to the agent….. Cool!!! And timely!!

Bill, I never knew that about Spirit, but was happy to hear that. I have been flying Spirit for many, many years. To me their prices have been awesome. Yes I no longer get round trip tickets for $26.00 Detroit to Florida. But I do pay their yearly fee, which has saved me a lot of money. I usually travel with just an under the seat carry on which helps on pricing. This week I just booked a non stop trip Det. To Dallas, each one ways. Total Cost was $85.00 +6000 miles from my membership & I had to check a bag each way because I was staying longer. Family in both states has saved me a lot of money!!!

This is so true. She should get the facts before dissing SPIRIT AIRLINES. I personally travel very frequently with them. The only unfortunate thing that can sometimes make the flight not as pleasant is the ratchet clientele, because low fares draws alot of low class ratchet passengers

Look I passed out flying Spirit pissed the entire seat. Sorry to the next person who got that seat because they sure didn’t do anything to clean it up. This was my first flight on Spirit but not my first time flying. Never again! Low price or not. NEVER AGAIN. They didn’t even have anyone qualified to help me, another passenger had to step in. Thank God for this angel.

Two words regarding spirit airlines: Never Again.

If you fly on Spirit, you’ll become one.

Shitt and third class service cheap crue uneducated high school diploma holder running spirits airlines worst experience first and lost time bus service is way better

i booked a round trip flight to charlotte for a wedding. Booked on February. Wednesday May 29 arriving 5 pm. Returning June 1st leaving 5 pm. just got notice of flight changes. will arrive at 1159. How will i get my car rental and check in at hotel at that hour. Returning flight Bumped up a day May 31st at noon. WHAT?? i’ll miss part of the wedding. a 30 hr difference. A different day. I’d only be in Charlotte 1 day. ridiculous. they better refund me or find me another flight.

I flew on this airline once and never again. I fly often and would rather pay the extra charges for good to great service. The flight attendants were rude and non approachable. I would rather pay more and have a polite attendant than have a well groomed nasty make or female yo serve me. I getting ready to book a flight to Africa and going to be real picky about airlines.

My daughter, husband and myself were on a flight back from Vegas to Baltimore. My daughters son lived in an autism facility in Philadelphia at that time and before we took off she got a phone call from children’s hospital of Philadelphia telling her they found multiple tumors in her son and to get there as quickly as we could. The flight attendants, pilot did everything they could to get us a straight flight to Baltimore but unfortunately we had a layover in Atlanta and they couldn’t find a straight thru flight even with another carrier. They sat us upfront and comforted us the entire way offering snacks, drinks, etc. we did get to chop at 2 am after flying and driving all afternoon and night. These flight crews were wonderful to us and thank god my grandsons tumors were treatable with chemo and he is in remission. So there are some wonderful people who work for this airline. Also my grandson was not in hospital when we went on trip 3 days prior to this event or we never would have gone away. And one last thing Andy is home with his family and doing great.

And….. Spirit has more never planned than other around……

Spirit, like other airlines, has its Pros and cons….. If you are a light traveler you save a bundle with Spirit…. Take the batter essentials that fit the FREE Carry On and you are good to go…..

I am 60 years old. I took my first flight ever on spirit from Richmond, Virginia to Las Vegas. I had an awesome time. Everybody was friendly and polite and I’d recommend it to anybody.

Well, I am sorry to hear these tons of bad experiences, but I have to share my experience, traveling for years with Spirit, AXM – ORD round trip intntl, and domestic ORD – LGA. It is not the most comfy plane in the economy but (traveling in a group of 5) we have always sit together, baggage as expected never damaged, never delayed even with stop over. Hopefully Spirit implements the necessary actions to improve their service, as in terms of costs it is competitive, and you understand 5 travelling would not be possible with another airline.

I have several complaints about Spirit. I’ve flown them numerous times because, of course, I can’t pass up the cheap tickets. The latest was Feb 29th when I booked a 1 way to Vegas for my boyfriend and got the big seat in front for him as he has a sciatic issue and needed a wheelchair to even get to the gate. He finds out when he’s boarding that he was getting kicked out of that seat so some 20 something can have it and placed in 5 D instead. He’s a big guy anyway, was very uncomfortable the whole flight, not offered a reason or refund/ compensation and aggravated even more his sciatic nerve. Another time I flew to Sea Tac and due to weather was delayed so was offered a layover in Vegas which I took. Was given a voucher for a hotel room and when arriving at this so called hotel/ motel in a very bad part of lLas Vegas, was told that they do not honor this voucher and never had. I had to search for a hotel room after midnight that would take me. Another time , boyfriend and I flew to New Orleans and got the big seats in front, of course, paying for them. Come to find out, they had changed the flight , making it a 1 stop in Atlanta and when we disembarked and then returned to the plane to board again, found we lost our big seats to someone else who bought them. So we paid 60 bucks each for an hour of flying then had to go to the middle of the plane for the rest of the trip. This should be enough reason to stop flying on this airline.

I fly Spirit only because of the high prices from the other airlines have and I pay months in advance. I’ll pay for my seat but I can carry about 5 days in an adult size backpack. I found most hotels have an iron and if not 1 hour drycleaners work. See you in the sky or on a layover 🤙👍

Did you know that with Spirit, at times, you can buy tickets at the airport cheaper than online?

I never had any problems with them. Discomfort for a few hours so I can spend my money on an experience is better for me. They’ve always been a great airline service in my opinion. Sure these are all good points, but if you live by the “You get what you paid for” motto…then don’t fuss.

Absolutely avoid this airline. Just awful experience. They nickle and dime you for everything. And charge for services they don’t even provide. They will shut down soon anyway. They are awful they use fake accounts to reply on Facebook as well.

You can see easily the fake accounts they use on Facebook to respond to your post and complaints. I have to assume the positive posts here are probably fake as welll.

Iam on the Spirit sucks team

So true BUT…. Legacy Airlines are acting pretty much the same nowadays. Wasn’t any guarantee or even a real feeling or compromise with what you purchase, schedules or even good and direct communication when delays or cancelations. It’s awful, but after Covid [that’s the excuse for a while] I feel it’s no good Airlines anymore. I look for destination, flying time/avoid layovers and cost. That’s all. No loyalty, cuz none have been taking care of their customers.

What to Know Before Flying Spirit Airlines

Here's everything you need to know before you fly.

When searching for flights on sites like Kayak or Expedia and sorting by lowest price, you'll likely spot some options from Spirit Airlines. But is flying with the ultra-low-cost carrier worth it?

Spirit is headquartered out of Miramar, Florida, and they're committed to offering you the lowest possible price. It's a bare-bones ticket, and all add-ons, including seat assignments, bags, and extra legroom, will cost you. The idea is that if you cut out all the extras most airlines charge for automatically, you'll be left with an inexpensive ticket and given the option to pay only for what you need.

Spirit operates more than 500 flights every day and covers more than 60 destinations within the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean. The airline also offers a Free Spirit Mastercard, a Spirit Savers Club, and Free Spirit points. Here's what you need to know before flying.

Fare Classes

Spirit Airlines has two types of seats: standard seats and what are called "Big Front Seats." With a standard ticket, travelers are entitled to one free personal item , like a laptop bag or purse. When purchasing your seat, it's best to pay for any carry-on or checked bags you intend to bring. While you're not required to pay for your checked luggage in advance, it will help save you money if you've covered the checked bag cost before arriving at the airport. If you check bags at the check-in counter, the cost goes up.

The Big Front Seats come with more space and extra legroom — and there are no middle seats, so you're guaranteed an aisle or window. The same luggage rules (one personal item, all other bags cost extra) apply to Big Front Seat ticket holders.

While these are the only two seating classes in Spirit Airlines' cabins, there is one more fare class: Spirit Savers Club members. Generally, they benefit from lower rates on their tickets. While the Spirit Savers Club fares aren't available on every Spirit Airlines flight, the savings can be pretty sizable when you're able to cash in on these deals. Savers Club members also get discounts on checked luggage and seat selection, as well as other options like shortcut security, shortcut boarding, and Flight Flex , which allows you to reschedule your flight without being charged.

Flight Change and Cancellation Policies

If a passenger changes their flight — or cancels it — 60 days before their flight, they will not be charged a change or cancellation fee. If you want to cancel or change your flight between 31 and 59 days from departure days before your flight, it costs $69. Between seven and 30 days from departure, that fee goes up to $99. And finally, changes or cancellations made six days or less before your flight will incur a $119 fee.

Baggage Policies and Fees

Let's get into the nitty-gritty of Spirit Airlines baggage fees. First, you get one personal item included in the price of your ticket. It must be 18 x 14 x 8 inches or smaller. Carry-on bags cost extra and must be 22 x 18 x 10 inches or smaller. Standard checked bags, meanwhile, should weigh no more than 40 pounds, and their length should be no longer than 62 inches. Baggage that exceeds 40 pounds is considered overweight and will incur an additional charge. Spirit does not accept bags that weigh more than 100 pounds and exceed 80 linear inches. Baggage fees vary widely depending on the flight and time of purchase and can cost anywhere between $35 and $150.

Spirit Airlines reviews often encourage travelers to pay for all baggage-related expenses in advance. "Yes, they nickel pick everything and you have to pay for basically everything but if you buy your ticket online through their website and purchase everything you need in advance, there will be no issues," wrote Lily R. on TripAdvisor .

Boarding Order

Travelers often assume that boarding on a budget airline is something of a free for all. Not so — there's a method to the madness. Spirit Airlines has four numbered zones, as well as pre-boarding and family boarding. As far as budget airline boarding processes go, Spirit Airlines has one of the clearest and easiest to follow. Here's the boarding line-up:

Pre-boarding

• Any passenger with a disability or who might need special assistance or additional time boarding
• Any passenger who paid for an additional carry-on bag (remember, one is included with the price of your ticket, but bringing more than one personal item costs extra)
• Any passenger who paid for Shortcut Boarding
• Free Spirit passengers with silver or gold status
• Any passenger with a Spirit Airlines credit card

Family Boarding

• Reserved for families with small children (typically, kids ages 3 and under)

Zone 3 and Zone 4

• General boarding

Amenities and Entertainment

Spirit Airlines charges for all food and drink. They offer snacks and beverages for purchase using a credit or debit card. To give you a sense of the prices, a bottle of water is $4, tea is $3, cans of soda or juice are $4, and coffee is $4. Cocktail combinations (e.g., a shot of gin and a can of tonic water) are $14, and beer and wine are $9.

Spirit Airlines does not offer in-flight entertainment. However, they do offer Wi-Fi onboard most flights. The "browsing" plan starts at $2.99, and the "streaming" plan starts at $5.99. Prices vary depending on the flight duration. The airline does not offer amenity kits, pillows, blankets, or outlets, so pack accordingly and charge your devices before you board.

Seats and Legroom

Spirit Airlines' standard economy seats have 28 inches of seat pitch. Most airlines' economy class seats have 30 inches of seat pitch. Spirit Airlines' standard seats have tiny tray tables — you can't fit a laptop on them. However, Spirit's Big Front Seats guarantee an additional six inches of legroom. The Big Front Seats come with 36 inches of pitch, and the width of the superior leather seats is 18.5 inches.

Standard tickets do not allow you to select your seat. Instead, Spirit Airlines will randomly assign you a seat. That means you may not get to sit with everyone in your travel party. If you'd like to choose where you sit, you must pay extra. Alternatively, you can purchase a Big Front Seat ticket, which allows you to choose your seat.

Spirit Airlines Credit Cards and Status

Spirit Airlines has two co-branded credit cards: Free Spirit Travel More World Elite Mastercard and Free Spirit Travel Mastercard. The elite card waives the annual fee for the first year, and then the fee goes up to $79 a year. The Free Spirit Travel Mastercard has no annual fee. These cards come with a 25 percent rebate on in-flight food and beverage purchased on Spirit Airlines, more opportunities to accrue Free Spirit points, and Zone 2 boarding, among other perks.

Spirit Airlines also runs the Spirit Savers Club (formerly the $9 Fare Club). Savers Club members enjoy deals like reduced fares on certain flights, discounts on additional carry-on bags for their entire party, and reduced prices on seat selection for their travel group. The Savers Club has plenty of restrictions — your party cannot be more than eight people, for example — and, according to Spirit Airlines reviews, people aren't always convinced it's a good deal.

"Beware of their so-called 'super saver club' - you don't really save and the $64 charge for it renews every year despite your attempt to cancel. Cancel online and later check to see that they've done so. Trying to do it at the airport gate is a fool's errand," said Thomas S. on TripAdvisor .

Finally, you can accrue points to earn elite status on Spirit Airlines. For every dollar spent on Spirit Airlines tickets and offerings (think: ancillary fees for baggage, boarding, food, etc.), you earn 1 Status Qualifying Point (SQP). To achieve Free Spirit Silver Status, you need 2,000 SQPs. To reach Spirit Gold Status, you need 5,000 SQPs. Silver and gold status get travelers perks like early boarding and advanced seat selection.

Spirit Airlines Review: A Comprehensive Analysis of Passenger Experiences

Spirit Airlines, a prominent American ultra-low-cost carrier, has garnered significant attention in the aviation industry. Known for its budget-friendly fares and minimalistic approach, the airline caters to cost-conscious travelers seeking affordable options. However, mixed reviews and opinions from passengers have often sparked debates about the overall quality of service provided by Spirit Airlines. In this article, we delve into the world of Spirit Airlines reviews to offer a comprehensive analysis of passenger experiences.

A Brief Overview of Spirit Airlines

Before delving into the reviews, let’s understand the airline’s background. Spirit Airlines was established in 1980 and began operating as a low-cost carrier in 1992. Over the years, it has expanded its routes and fleet, becoming one of the major players in the budget airline segment. The company’s business model primarily relies on offering lower base fares and charging for additional services, such as baggage, seat selection, and in-flight amenities.

The Spirit of Ultra-Low-Cost Travel

Spirit Airlines’ ultra-low-cost model has both its proponents and detractors. For budget-conscious travelers, the allure of low-base fares is undoubtedly appealing. It enables individuals to travel to their desired destinations without burning a hole in their pockets. On the other hand, critics argue that the additional fees for amenities can add up quickly, making the total cost of the journey not as budget-friendly as initially perceived.

The Customer Service Conundrum

One of the most frequently discussed aspects of Spirit Airlines’ reviews revolves around its customer service. Some passengers report satisfactory experiences, noting that the flight crew was friendly and efficient. However, others have expressed frustration with the level of customer service received. Delays, cancellations, and difficulties in getting in touch with customer support have all contributed to these negative perceptions.

Comfort and Amenities

Spirit Airlines is clear about its no-frills approach to flying, but this raises concerns about passenger comfort during flights. Reviews often highlight the limited legroom, narrow seats, and lack of in-flight entertainment. While this might not be an issue for short flights, longer journeys can become uncomfortable, especially for taller passengers or those with specific needs.

Navigating the Fee Structure

As mentioned earlier, Spirit Airlines’ fee structure can be a point of contention. While base fares may appear attractively low, passengers must carefully navigate the various additional fees for baggage, seat selection, and other services. Some travelers appreciate the flexibility to customize their experience based on their needs, while others find it cumbersome and confusing.

Safety and Reliability

Safety and reliability are paramount when it comes to choosing an airline. Spirit Airlines, like all major carriers, adheres to strict safety regulations set forth by aviation authorities. However, reviews related to delays and cancellations raise concerns about the airline’s overall reliability and punctuality. It is essential to acknowledge that flight disruptions can occur across all airlines, but how the situations are handled can make a significant difference in passenger perceptions.

Spirit’s Loyalty Program

To cultivate customer loyalty, Spirit Airlines offers the Free Spirit loyalty program. Members can earn points through flights and various partner activities, redeemable for future trips and perks. While this program can be advantageous for frequent flyers, some reviews suggest that redeeming points may have limitations and restrictions.

Improvements and Evolving Strategies

In response to passenger feedback and industry competition, Spirit Airlines has been continuously working to improve its services. This includes investments in newer aircraft with improved interiors, updated policies, and enhanced customer service training for their staff. However, like any ongoing improvement process, the impact may not be immediately apparent to all passengers, leading to varied reviews.

In conclusion, Spirit Airlines’ reviews present a diverse range of opinions and experiences. The airline’s ultra-low-cost model appeals to budget-conscious travelers, offering them the opportunity to fly at significantly lower fares. However, this approach comes with trade-offs, such as limited amenities and additional fees.

Customer service and comfort during flights have been consistent areas of concern in reviews, with some passengers expressing satisfaction while others voicing disappointment. Spirit Airlines’ continuous efforts to improve its services and address these concerns demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the overall passenger experience.

As with any airline, individual experiences may vary based on factors like the specific route, crew members, and unforeseen circumstances. Travelers considering Spirit Airlines should weigh the trade-offs carefully and align their expectations with the airline’s no-frills approach to flying. By doing so, passengers can make informed decisions that align with their travel needs and preferences.

Overall, Spirit Airlines continues to be a popular choice for travelers seeking affordable options, and as the airline strives to enhance its offerings, we can expect to see evolving passenger feedback in the future.

Spirit's latest network shift features 7 new routes launching this summer

It's been an eventful few months when it comes to U.S. budget carriers' route networks, shifting capacity to reduce their exposure to plummeting fares in prime leisure markets like Florida, especially in Orlando.

Spirit Airlines is the latest with an update with seven new routes that the carrier confirmed Friday.

The Miramar, Florida-based company's latest routes focus on a handful of airports: San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) in California, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) in Maryland, Kansas City International Airport (MCI) in Missouri and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).

There was also a notable transcontinental flavor to the new routes, which all launch in June or July.

Spirit's new routes

Here's the full rundown:

Scaling up in several cities

Many of the airports included in Friday's route announcement are places where the carrier has put a clear emphasis amid recent months' network adjustments.

Take Portland International Airport (PDX) in Oregon, for instance, which will get a new Spirit route from San Jose. This summer (in June, July and August) Spirit is set to grow its scheduled seats out of Porland by a whopping 153% over that same period in 2023, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium.

It's also set to grow seats by more than 50% this summer out of Kansas City, which got two new routes Friday — and by 44% out of San Jose, which gained the most capacity (three new routes) Friday.

Flight delayed or canceled? Here are the best credit cards with trip delay reimbursement

In a statement Friday, San Jose's city manager, Jennifer Maguire, noted these three new Spirit routes the airport is getting this summer help the airport in its goal of "flying simple by offering more affordable direct flights."

Ironically, for its part, Spirit has said it hopes to do more flying that offers travelers flight connections as part of what the airline hopes will be a business turnaround.

BWI transcontinental focus

Also noteworthy in this latest route announcement: two new transcontinental flights from BWI — to San Jose and Sacramento International Airport (SMF). BWI is the point of origin for a fast-growing list of transcontinental options on Spirit.

The airline previously announced cross-country flights from BWI to Portland and San Diego International Airport (SAN). And Spirit's seats from BWI to the West Coast will be up 140% this summer over last year.

An airline spokesperson could not immediately comment on what, if any, routes the carrier is eliminating in unveiling these seven new routes. However, it's likely there's some give-and-take, since the carrier has been fleet constrained in recent months — a challenge that led Spirit to temporarily postpone its plans to fly to the brand-new airport in Tulum, Mexico.
