Remember: You can bring one personal item and bring items like an umbrella, camera, infant diaper bag, assistive devices, outer garments (e.g., coats, hats and wraps), reading material and food for the flight for no additional charge.

On Spirit Airlines, the "free" offerings are strictly limited to ensure the lowest possible base fare. Your ticket includes one personal item (like a small backpack or purse) that must fit entirely within the small sizer box (45×35×20 cm). Beyond that, almost everything carries a fee, including carry-on bags, checked luggage, and seat assignments. Onboard, no snacks or drinks are free—not even water, which must be purchased from the menu. However, safety is always free; the airline provides the same FAA-mandated security and emergency services as any legacy carrier. In 2026, Spirit continues its "Frill-Free" model, so travelers are encouraged to bring their own empty water bottles to fill at the airport and pre-download movies on their devices, as there is no complimentary in-flight entertainment system.
