If you want to get the most out of Spirit Airlines, you can combine the airline’s fare classes, credit‑card rewards, and occasional promotions to stretch each dollar and each mile.
Booking Options
- Spirit First (formerly Go Big) bundles a Big Front Seat, a carry‑on, first checked bag, no change or cancel fees, priority check‑in and boarding, reserved overhead bin space, complimentary snacks, drinks (including alcohol), and fast Wi‑Fi streaming.
- Premium Economy (formerly Go Comfy) gives you a Premium Seat with extra legroom or a blocked‑middle seat, one carry‑on bag, no change or cancel fees, priority boarding, and reserved overhead bin space.
- Value (formerly Go) lets you pick only the extras you need, such as seat selection, a carry‑on, checked bags, and other options, keeping the base fare low.
Earn Miles with the Spirit Credit Card
- The Spirit credit card awards 50,000 miles after you spend $1,000 within three months, with a $79 annual fee that is not waived.
- Those miles can be used for flights that have historically been priced around 10,000 – 20,000 miles per segment, so earning the bonus can cover several round‑trip tickets.🔗
Take Advantage of Promotions
- A “Double (2×) Free Spirit points” promotion ran for bookings made by 11:59 PM ET on July 29, 2025, granting two‑times points on qualifying flight segments completed by September 30, 2025.
- Spirit has also offered limited‑time fare discounts, such as 50 % off base fares, which can be combined with earned miles for additional savings.🔗
Use Employee Travel Benefits (If Eligible)
- Airline employees can list themselves on an internal booking site to obtain free or heavily discounted flights, providing employer name, hire date, and badge number.
- By submitting valid employee credentials, eligible pilots and flight attendants can fly for free on Spirit and other partner airlines, sometimes accumulating over 120 free flights across multiple carriers.🔗
Consider Extra‑Legroom Seats
- Starting July 9, 2025, Spirit began installing extra‑legroom Premium Seats with four additional inches of space across seven rows and more than 40 seats near the front of the aircraft.
- These seats are available on a first‑come, first‑served basis and can be booked as part of the Premium Economy or Spirit First packages.
By mixing the right fare class, leveraging the Spirit credit‑card bonus, snapping up limited‑time promotions, and, if you qualify, using employee travel benefits, you can maximize the number of flights you take with Spirit Airlines.
