Spirit Airlines Seat Assignment and Seat Selection

What is Spirit Airlines Seat Assignment?

• Automatic Seat Assignment – If you do not choose a seat when you book, Spirit will assign you one at check-in. This seat may be anywhere on the aircraft and that includes middle seats.

• Paid Seat Selection – Passengers are able to select a particular seat at the time of booking or subsequently for an extra fee. This allows you to have control over where you will be sitting, whether the aisle, window, front of plane or extra legroom seats.

How Does Spirit Airlines Seat Selection Work?

• At Booking – Once you select your flight, you will find available seats and what each costs. Choose your preferred seat, pay the applicable fee, and confirm your booking.

• After Booking – Navigate to Spirit Airlines' Manage Travel page to pay and choose a seat if you missed it on booking.

• At Check-In – If you did not pick a seat before, Spirit will randomly assign one during online check in.

• Standard Seats – Economy seats across the board may have a fee to reserve.

• Big Front Seats – Roomier seats with more legroom at the front prices vary from $40–$99 based on the flight.

Spirit Airlines Seat Assignment Policies

• Families and Groups – Passengers traveling together should pay for seat selection to sit together. Random assignments may separate travelers.

Tips for Picking the Best Seat

• Book early – Early seat booking guarantees that the best seats are available.

• Consider Big Front Seats – These are the best for long flights or if having extra legroom is essential.

• Know your aircraft configuration – Spirit flights are primarily single-aisle; knowing seat configurations assists in selecting aisle or window seats.
