10 Ways to Save Money on Spirit Airlines Reservations
Below are 10 tried and tested ways to save money when travelling on Spirit Airlines:
- Buy your ticket at the airport – Booking your ticket online will cost you extra, because you’ll be charged a Passenger Usage Fee (generally USD 22.99 per passenger per way). Booking by phone will also cost extra. To avoid paying any such fee, book your ticket at the airport.
- Check-in online – Checking in online will save you USD 10 if you check in at the airport counter and USD 2 at a self-service kiosk. Online check-ins are completely free.
- Travel light – Spirit Airlines charges for carry-on and checked bags on Bare Fares (cheapest). However, you’re allowed to carry one personal item such as a purse or a laptop bag as long as it does not exceed 45cm x 35cm x 20cm (18in x 14in x 8in) in size.
- Purchase your baggage at the time of booking – Don’t wait to pay for your bags at the airport—it’s the costliest there. The best time to purchase your baggage is at the time of booking.
- Book your ticket well in advance – The earlier you book your ticket, the cheaper it’s likely to be.
- Avoid seat selection – Seat selection is not included in your fare. Choosing a seat will cost you extra, so let Spirit assign you a random seat. If you’re travelling with family and want to be seated together, you can view the seat prices for your flight online on the Seat page if you’re booking online, or on the My Trips or the Check-in page within 24 hours of departure.
- Bring your own food and drink – Spirit charges for in-flight food, drinks, and snacks. If you’re strictly on a budget, bring your own food and drinks on board.
