Select A Spirit Airlines Seat

Every passenger planning a vacation needs everything designed and according to their expectations. Now how can we skip the seats? Obviously, being a passenger, you will wish to start your journey on your preferred seat, and even the airline understands this. Spirit Airlines seat selection is made to assist you from the very beginning of your journey. Whether it’s a window seat or a seat with more legroom, you can choose according to your needs. Let’s know more about the working and perks of this airline’s seat selection process to improve your future travel plans. 

A Guideline for Spirit Airlines Seat Selection 

As soon as we begin with the whole seat selection process, there are a few things that you must refer to for better understanding. 

1. The low-cost air carrier doesn’t offer a seat selection process for free. So you are expected to pay minimal charges while choosing your preferred seat. Although if you have Free Spirit elite status, you can proceed with seat selection without paying any charges.
2. You can also make the payment for seat selection and baggage as a part of a bundle while you are making bookings with the airline.
3. You can skip the step to select seats on Spirit Airlines if you prefer budget-friendly travelling over preferred seating. The airlines will assign you according to the availability of seats.
4. If the airline assigns the seat on their own, you may sit apart from your fellow traveller even if you are both on the same reservation.
5. Interestingly, if you are travelling with a 13-year or younger traveller, the airline will try their best to assign adjacent seats without additional charges.
6. You can use the “Manage Trips” option if you choose to add seats to your reservation more than 24 hours prior to the departure of the flight. But if the departure time is less than 24 hours, then you can purchase seats through the online check-in process.
7. If you are a holder of Saver$ Club then you have the perk to receive good discounts on the selection of seats for their individual booking as well as up to eight travel companions.

Different Types of Seats offered 

Even Though Spirit is a low-cost carrier, it still offers many choices to the passenger when it comes to seat selection. You can choose your seats from the below-mentioned options provided by the airline:

Standard seats

The airline offers standard seating with narrower seats in comparison to the Big Front Seats. However, the seats in this type still have enough space to make you feel comfortable throughout your journey. In case you prefer more legroom, then you can opt to upgrade your seat to another class.

Premium Seats 

While talking about the premium seats, they are the exit row seats with more legroom. As per federal guidelines, passengers under the age of 15 can’t choose premium seats because passengers on exit row seats are expected to provide assistance in emergencies.

Big Front Seats 

Being a low-cost airline, there are no first-class cabins on Spirit Flights. But you can enjoy the benefit of more legroom if you choose Big Front seats. These seats are on the front of the aircraft with enough space to make you feel comfortable. All the Big Front seats are either aisle or window seats.
