Check the hand baggage policy at Spirit Airlines. Remember that the baggage dimensions are determined individually by each air carrier. If it is possible, choose a soft backpack instead of a rigid suitcase. It will be easier to adapt it to the requirements.

Checked baggage must also meet certain requirements. Check the permitted weight and size of checked baggage at Spirit Airlines. All prices listed below are for standard fare customers. Additional discounts are available for those enrolled in the 9$ fare club. Check Spirit Airlines for 9$ fare club prices.
