Spirit Airlines in a nutshell

Spirit

Spirit Airlines was one of the most prominent ultra low-cost airlines in the USA.

It was known for its often very cheap base fare tickets, with everything else (carry-on and checked baggage, check-in, seats, etc.) at an extra cost.

In May 2026, Spirit Airlines suspended all flights and ceased operations after long-term financial problems.
