Baggage Policy

If you're flying with Spirit Airlines, you should know the airline's luggage rules to avoid any last-minute surprises or unexpected costs. This post will go through the Spirit airline baggage Policy in depth, including the allowable luggage size and Weight, over-baggage prices, and more.

Hand/Cabin Baggage Policy

Carry-on should not exceed the following size and weight restrictions:

1. 50 linear inches (22 x 18 x 10 in) or 127 centimeters (56 x 46 x 25 cm) including handles and wheels
2. Fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.

Personal items should not exceed the following size and weight restrictions:

1. 40 linear inches (18 x 14 x 8 in) or 102 centimeters (46 x 36 x 20 cm)
2. Fit under the seat in front of you
3. A jacket, umbrella, diaper bag, duty-free items, and assistive devices (wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, strollers, child restraint seats, etc.) do not count towards your carry-on allowance.

Checked baggage

Spirit Airlines standard checked baggage policy details follow:

1. Two bags standard, up to 5 bags maximum (restrictions exist on international travel – check Spirit's site for more information)
2. Full dimensions: 62 inches or 157 centimeters (length + width + height)
3. Maximum Weight: 40 pounds or 18 kilograms

Additional or Excess baggage

In addition, frequent travelers who book Spirit airline flights can join the fare club, which reduces the amount for carrying on baggage. For the non-members, the fee is more than the club members. It is better to pay for the baggage while booking on the website while paying, and the Great is the most expensive. But they actively discourage passengers from carrying extra luggage.
