Do I have to purchase a seat assignment?
Don t care where you sit? Spirit will randomly assign you a seat at check-in for f
ree, but we can't guarantee that you'll get to sit with your friends or family.
You can purchase a seat assignment and choose the seat you really want. Seat as
signments start at just $5 and vary according to specific routes and location in
the aircraft. For a little bit more, a Big Front Seat comes with extra legroom.
You can view seat prices for your flight on the Seats page when you book online,
in Manage Travel or Online Check-in (within 24 hours of departure).

Big Front Seats are located in the first rows of our aircraft and feature up to
32% more legroom than the Deluxe Leather Seats. Big Front Seats are also wider an
d do not have a middle seat between them.
hat are the size and weight limits for bags?
To keep ticket prices (Bare Fare ) low for everyone, we charge for carry-ons and c
hecked bags. We charge more for checked bags over 40 lbs. This is because the ad
ded weight requires more gas for the plane. One personal item that fits in the s
maller sizer box (like a small backpack) is included with your ticket. Another p
ersonal item or anything larger like a standard carry-on or checked bag will nee
d to be paid for.
