Spirit Airlines Baggage Allowance

Passengers traveling with Spirit Airlines are welcome to bring:

The Spirit Airlines carry-on baggage allowance is one small personal item; 18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x 35 x 20 cm). A fee applies to bring an additional, larger item, with dimensions of 22 x 18 x 10 inches (56 x 46 x 25 cm).

The fee for bringing an additional item on board varies according to when the allowance is purchase - at initial booking, before/during check-in, at the airport, or at the gate.

For most flights the fee is $37, one way, as standard, if purchased during online booking, or before online check in. If a passenger is a member of the $9 fare club, they can purchase their carry-on allowance for $28. If, however, the allowance is purchased during online check-in, the cost is $45 as standard, or $36 for fare club members. The price increases to $55 at the airport, or $65 at the gate.

A number of items do not count towards a customer’s carry-on allowance, such as a diaper bag and a pushchair.
