No Hidden Fees, Just Low Fares and Options

Our fares are an average of more than $100 lower* than other airlines.


How do we keep our costs so low? It’s simple – when you fly with Spirit, you start with an ultra low fare, and then only pay for the optional services you want.


When you book a flight with us, we commit to giving you not only our ultra low fares, but also offering you –


  • Easy online booking and check-in at spiritair.com
  • Clean, new airplanes
  • Comfortable deluxe leather seats
  • Friendly staff
  • On-time flight
  • Everything you need for a safe flight … all included in your base fare.

We also give you the freedom of choice.


You decide whether or not you’d like to purchase any of our optional services. Unlike other airlines, we never assume that you want everything we offer and then charge you hidden fees to cover those costs. The table below explains the fees we charge for these extras.
