What are the size and weight limits for bags? · Spirit Airlines Support (2024)

To keep ticket prices low for everyone, we charge for carry-ons and checked bags. We charge more for checked bags over 40 lbs. This is because the added weight requires more gas for the plane. One personal item that fits entirely in the smaller sizer box (like a purse, small backpack, etc.) is included with your ticket. Another personal item or anything larger like a standard carry-on or checked bag will need to be paid for.

Personal item:(e.g., purse, small backpack, etc.): Dimensions must notexceed 18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x 35 x 20cm) including handles and wheels.

Checked bags: Maximum of 62 linear inches (length + width + height; 158 cm) including handles and wheels and maximum of 40 pounds in weight (18.1kg). Any bag that exceeds these dimensions or weight limit is considered oversized/overweight and has acorresponding charge. Unfortunately, wecannot accept bags that weigh more than100 pounds (45 kg) or that measure morethan 80 linear inches (203 cm) in overalldimensions.
