How Spirit seat selection works by fare, extra legroom options, upgrade routes, and the family seating rules that let children sit with a parent free.
Key Travel Facts & Insights
All seat assignments are paid. Passengers who decline are assigned a seat at check-in at no cost — travelling alone and accepting a random seat is a legitimate way to keep the fare low.
The Big Front Seat is a wider 2-2 recliner at the front of the cabin, sold outright rather than as a cabin class. It is often remarkably cheap relative to a legacy First Class seat.
Big Front Seat upgrades can be bought at booking, check-in or the gate, with gate pricing sometimes the lowest if the seat is otherwise going out empty.
Spirit seats children 13 and under with an accompanying adult at no additional cost under DOT family seating rules, though selecting seats at booking remains the reliable approach.
