On Spirit, there’s no such thing as a “free” bag (except for one personal item). This is because the
added weight requires more gas for the plane. The good news is you pay for additional bags only if
you need them, which means you save money by not paying for other people’s stuff. We call that Frill
Control™, and it’s what keeps our Bare Fares™ ultra-low.
One personal item is included in the Bare Fare. We’re talking something like a small backpack – one
that can fit entirely in the smaller sizer box, including handles and wheels (16″ x 14″ x 12″ for travel
through March 31st, 2016, and for travel after March 31st, 2016 - 17” x 13” x 8”). Another personal
item or anything larger like a standard carry-on or checked bag is a little extra.
Included with every Bare Fare™
Only 1 per seat purchased.
Must fit entirely in the smaller sizer box (including handles and wheels).
16″ x 14″ x 12″ for travel through 3/31/2016
17” x 13” x 8” for travel after 3/31/2016

Golf equipment is charged as a standard checked bag. Golf equipment is considered one golf bag with up to 14 golf clubs, 12 golf balls,
and one pair of golf shoes. You can also bring a pull cart if it is attached to the golf bag. We recommend a hard-sided carrier to protect
your clubs from shifting during the flight. Don’t worry if your sticks are a little big – we waive oversize charges on golf equipment.
However, please be mindful that golf equipment over 40 pounds (18.1 kg) is considered overweight and costs more, so save by
keeping your bag light.
You can bring one non-motorized bicycle with a single seat on your trip as checked baggage for an additional charge. Make sure you
deflate your bicycle tires for the flight to prevent damage. For their protection, bicycles must be encased in cardboard or a hard-sided
bike container for travel.
You can bring your surfboard or other surfing equipment (wakeboards, boogie boards, body boards) as checked baggage on your next
trip for an additional charge. If you are bringing a surfboard, make sure to remove or protect your surfboard keels and/or skegs to
prevent damage to it and other checked baggage. To save you more, you can put up to two (2) similar items in a case together for the
same price. Don’t worry – overweight and oversize fees do not apply to surf equipment.
Boxes and plastic containers (such as Rubbermaid) are accepted on both domestic and international flights as checked bags with
certain restrictions. Visit Spirit.com for more information.
Bassinets, infant/child seats and strollers are accepted as checked baggage at no charge and are not considered part of a customer’s

checked bags may be pre-purchased via the Group Department based inventory availability.
Only one (1) checked bag per customer is permitted year round (no overweight or oversized checked bags are allowed).
