Spirit Airlines
About
Spirit Airlines is an American ultra-low-cost carrier, headquartered in Dania Beach, Florida, operating scheduled flights throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Known for its distinctive bright yellow planes, Spirit's business model traditionally focuses on offering low base fares by unbundling services, allowing passengers to pay only for the amenities they choose, such as baggage and seat selection. As of August 2024, Spirit is evolving its offerings, introducing new fare tiers like "Go Big," "Go Comfy," "Go Savvy," and "Go," which include various bundled perks such as wider seats, extra legroom, priority boarding, and in-flight refreshments. Spirit was the seventh largest passenger carrier in North America as of 2023.
