The booking process continues with offers to add hotel, car rental, ground transfers, etc. If all you want is extra space, paying extra for this seat is probably the best value available on Spirit. Double check all the charges to ensure you're only paying for what you need.
If everything looks correct, click "book reservation," and then double check the confirmation email once again. Should you change your mind within hours of booking, you can still cancel for free as long as your travel is at least seven days away. Long after you book, you'll likely continue to receive emails from Spirit offering the opportunity to purchase extras for your flight.
If you've decided that you need more bags, pay for them before or during online check-in. Bag fees are much higher at the airport. When it finally comes time to check-in, do it online hours before departure, and either print your boarding pass at home or use the kiosk for free check-in at the airport.
Spirit lists a fee for kiosk check-in on its site, but I have never actually encountered such a fee myself when checking-in at an airport kiosk. However, if you wait in line and check-in at the counter, you are subject to a check-in fee.
Of course, no guarantees. If you have to check bags, check-in online or at a kiosk before entering the line to check your bags.
Drop off your bags and proceed to the security checkpoint. There's likely to be a large crowd of people at the boarding gate, because Spirit flights are generally pretty full. When boarding, if you have a question as to whether or not your personal item is oversized, I recommend carrying the bag even if it has wheels. To be on the safe side, you can confirm your bag fits the correct dimensions in Spirit's bag sizers near the check-in desk.
Bag fees at check-in are slightly less than at the gate. Once onboard, it's best not to have high expectations about your inflight experience. However, they do now offer WiFi onboard. It is only available on select aircrafts right now. There are no amenity kits, pillows or blankets, outlets, or any accoutrements you'd expect from a higher-end airline.
The classic Spirit Airlines seats have 28 inches of seat pitch. To offer a comparison, most airlines' economy class seats have 30 inches of seat pitch. Spirit Airlines standard seats have tiny tray tables — you wouldn't be able to 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 Landsel says the Big Front Seat tends to be worth it because it allows you to book an actual seat, instead of leaving your seat assignment to chance.
The only issue is that there might not be Big Front Seats available when you book. As for seat assignments, the default, standard ticket does not give you the opportunity 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.
However, if you'd like to choose where you sit, you can pay extra at check out to purchase a specific seat assignment. Alternately, you can opt for the Big Front Seat, thereby allowing you to choose your seat. The Free Spirit Travel Mastercard has no annual fee.
Looking for other ways to gain perks? There are plenty of restrictions that come along with the Savers Club — your party cannot be more than eight people, for example — and Spirit Airlines reviewers aren't always convinced it's a good deal.
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. Finally, you can accrue points to earn elite status on Spirit Airlines, just like you'd earn medallion status on American or Delta flights. Spirit is cheap because you are not buying the same thing. You know when you go to a fancy restaurant and they have a pre-set menu. It will have a pre-selected list of dishes all for a fixed price. The price is high but it includes a starter, a main course, a dessert, and coffee.
It might even include drinks too. Flying in the early days was something only rich people did. It was normal for people to expect a full service with everything included.
Flying with Spirit airlines is more like flying a la carte. Their advertised bare fare price is just for the flight with very few extra amenities.
You know that time when you were going to skip dessert but you changed your mind because it looked so tasty? Some travelers are outraged by this.
