Spirit Airlines offers Big Front Seats on their Airbus A320s, which have extra legroom and width compared to standard seats. They are located in rows 1 and 2 of the plane. Passengers can also opt for seats in the exit row (rows 12 and 13) which have extra legroom, totaling 35 inches compared to the regular 28 inches.

On Spirit Airlines, the undisputed "best" place to sit is the Big Front Seat®, located in the first two rows of the aircraft. These are 2x2 configured seats that offer significantly more width (up to 22.8 inches) and much more legroom than the rest of the cabin, similar to a traditional domestic First Class seat but without the complimentary meal service. If the Big Front Seat is outside your budget, the Exit Rows (usually rows 12 and 13 on the A320) are the next best option, providing up to 10 inches of additional legroom to stretch out. In 2026, Spirit also offers "Premium Seats" which feature a blocked middle seat or extra pitch in certain configurations. For those looking for a standard seat, picking a spot in the front third of the plane (Rows 3–10) is preferable for a quieter ride and faster deplaning. Avoid the last row, as these seats are located near the lavatories and galleys, often have limited recline, and are the last to exit the aircraft upon arrival at your destination.
