Hi everyone,
I’ve seen a lot of confusion around Spirit Airlines' baggage allowance, so I thought I’d share some useful details. Spirit is a low-cost airline, so their baggage policy is a bit different from traditional carriers.
✅ Personal Item – Free (must fit under the seat in front of you, like a small backpack or purse).
✅ Carry-On Bag – Paid and must fit in the overhead bin.
✅ Checked Bags – Charges vary depending on the route, time of booking, and number of bags.
✅ Weight Limit – Checked bags must not exceed 40 lbs; otherwise, extra fees apply.
It’s always cheaper to purchase baggage online in advance instead of at the airport. I found a detailed guide that explains all the fees, size limits, and tips to save money here:

Hope this helps anyone planning to fly with Spirit!
