Advance Seat AssignmentsPurchasing seat assignments in advance on www.spiritair.com is recommended to guarantee a preferred location onboard the aircraft, and ensure that traveling companions are seated together.
Spirit Airlines’ customers can purchase seats online in advance for a nominal fee only via www.spiritair.com when making their reservation during the booking process, or by retrieving the reservation at a later date. Customers may select seats within 90 days of flight time and up to one hour prior to flight departure.
Within 24 hours and no less than one hour prior to flight departure, customers can check in online and either purchase assigned seats, or allow the system to generate a random seat at no charge with the seat number displayed on the printed boarding pass. Seats cannot be changed once a boarding pass is printed.
Pre-Purchasing Seats Online
- Seat fees apply to Deluxe Leather Seats only.
- Prices differ based on location in the aircraft (Aisle, Window, Center, and Exit Rows).
- Customers purchasing BIG FRONT SEATs have the option of assigning their specific seat in advance on the web, but there is no additional fee as the seat assignment is included in the price of the air fare.
- Seats do not have to be purchased at the same time for all passengers or all segments.
- Seat fees are not refundable.
- Fees apply per flight number—each change of aircraft requires a separate seat assignment. Example: One way or Thru (Direct Flights) = one seat fee; a connecting flight with two flight numbers = 2 seat fees.
- When pre-purchasing seats through the web at the time of the booking, seat fees do not appear on the confirmation email.
Day of Departure
- If seats have not been pre-purchased online, our Customer Service Agents assign random seats at airport check in at no charge.
- At locations where there is a kiosk available for check in, seats can be purchased with a credit card, or the customer can request a randomly-generated seat at no charge.
- Upgrades to BIG FRONT SEATS are available for a fee at either the ticket counter or kiosk locations. Customers with prepaid seats requesting to upgrade at the counter or kiosk only pay the difference between the original seat selected and the upgrade fee.
- Seats are blocked and assigned on the day of departure for Unaccompanied Minors, passengers with disabilities requesting the bulkhead, and other special situations at no charge.
Exit Rows
Exit row seats may be pre-purchased online, with a disclaimer outlining the qualifications:
- 15 years of age or older
- Willing and able to help in the event of an emergency
- Not traveling with an infant, children, or pets
- Able to speak and understand English
- Able to lift 50 pounds
Airport Agents handling Exit Row customers are responsible for final determination of compliance with the regulations. If a customer is denied access to the Exit Row due to non-compliance, fees paid in advance for the seat are forfeited.
Online Seat Changes
Customers can change their seat assignments on the web site. If the newly-selected seat has a higher fee, the difference is paid as normal. If the fee for the new seat is lower, a credit for the seat is associated with the reservation which may be applied toward a future booking by using the record locator.
Spirit Airlines Flight Changes
For flights involved in schedule changes or irregular operations, Spirit Airlines does everything possible to retain the customer’s preferred or similar preference, but there is no guarantee that the same seats can be assigned, and there are no credits for seats which were pre-purchased. Our goal is to rebook the passenger on Spirit's first available flight to their destination without additional charges.
Modified or Canceled Itineraries with Pre-Purchased seats
Customers modifying itineraries with pre-purchased seats receive a credit for the amount of the seat which is associated with the reservation, and may return to the web site and re-purchase new seats for the newly-selected flights. Previously-purchased seats are not refunded, and credits cannot be used to purchase advance seat assignments. If a customer cancels their itinerary, any seats which were prepaid remain associated with the reservation as a credit, and may be applied toward the purchase of a future booking by using the record locator.
