Spirit understands that many customers prefer affordable fares. Every day, they make that ideal a reality by selling a basic, stripped-down Bare Fare, ensuring that nobody gets stuck paying a much higher fare, which (on other airlines) includes many of expensive frills that you may not need.

Spirit offers Frill Control, allowing you to select only the services you want to pay for, such as carry-ons, checked bags, or seat assignments. This allows you to save up to 40% on your Spirit trip compared to other airlines. Spirit gives you a lot more control over your spending and savings. So you may fly to more places, more frequently, or just have more money in your pocket when you arrive.

What to know when flying Spirit:

Spirit is the Home of Bare Fare.

Spirit's fares are completely unbundled. No "free" bags. No "free" drinks. Other airlines include those options in their ticket prices, making you pay more. A Spirit ticket gets you and your object from A to B. Everything else is extra.

What to Know About Spirit's 'Big Front Seat'

Anyone purchasing Spirit flights can reserve a BIG FRONT SEAT. It is a cost- effective option to fly first class to domestic locations. The executive-style design of these leather seats enhances their conformability. The seat is 25% larger, with 35% greater legroom. And, because they're in the first two rows of the plane, customers who book them for Spirit Airline trips will have the advantage of boarding in group 2. All other aspects of your Spirit Airlines flight will proceed normally. Consumers must still pay regular carry-on bag fees and purchase food and beverages.

Need a carry-on or checked bag? Purchase them early and online at Spirit.com.

The Bare Fare includes one personal item, such as a small bag, which fits totally in the smaller box (16" x 14" x 12"). Another personal item or anything larger, such as a regular carry-on or checked bag, costs extra.

If you know you'll need a checked bag or carry-on, buy it early and online at Spirit.com to save big money. You cannot purchase bags while booking here (yet), but you can add them to any confirmed reservation through Spirit.com.

NOTE: Spirit is one of the most fuel-efficient airlines in the US, so you'll save money on gas. They won this title by making a difficult decision: limiting checked baggage weight to 40 pounds. They understand how frustrating it is. However, packing light allows you to save a lot.

Spirit offers the Big Front Seat, despite having little legroom. Wider seats, no middle seat, greater space, and extra legroom- if that's your thing.
