Spirit Airlines makes every effort to making sure that its customers are happy. You will only be charged for the services you actually utilize from Spirit. Its staff is incredibly attentive and helpful, and they can assist passengers with anything. Additionally, we've included a list of a few things you should be aware of before booking a flight with Spirit Airlines.

Spirit Airlines seats

Spirit Airlines has two distinct seating options: its normal seats, which measure 17.75 inches wide and have 28 inches of legroom, or its Big Front Seat, which is an upgraded seat located toward the front of the aircraft with extra legroom and a wider seat.

In order to select a seat in advance, passengers must pay. The cost of selecting a seat begins at $5 and varies based on the kind of seat (which includes the upgraded Big Front Seat) and the itinerary of the journey.

With four distinct aircraft in service, Spirit Airlines' fleet is entirely composed of Airbus models. By 2025, the airline intends to retire its Airbus A319 aircraft, which can accommodate 145 people in 135 standard-size seats and 10 Big Front Seats.

Spirit Airlines Check-in timings

Check-in is the most important thing which you should do on time. Spirit online check-in facility will be available 24 hours after the scheduled departure while you can check-in at the airport 2 hours before the scheduled departure of domestic flight and if you have booked an international Spirit Flight, 3 hours before the scheduled departure of your international flight.
