Baggage
Carry-On Baggage
Spirit Airlines customers may bring one (1) carryon bag plus a personal item (such as a purse, briefcase, or laptop computer) on board at no charge.
A carry-on bag must fit under your seat or in the overhead bin.
Carry-on bag dimensions may not exceed 22" x 13" x 10" (56cm + 33cm + 25cm).
Spirit may require that a carry-on item travel as checked baggage if the item cannot be safely stowed on a particular flight. Excess items will be charged according to checked baggage fees.
Liquids, gels and/or aerosols are permitted through security checkpoints according to TSA requirements. However, items must fit in one clear, re-sealable quart or liter-sized plastic bag, in containers of 3 oz/100 ml or less.
Please keep valuables, computers, medications, and important papers in a carry-on on your person. For helpful packing tips, click here.
