Overview

  • Spirit Airlines is introducing 32-inch pitch extra-legroom seats, available for purchase this month and flying on most routes by July 2025.
  • The new seating option replaces the previous Go Comfy offering, which featured blocked middle seats, and includes bundled perks like priority boarding, carry-on bags, and complimentary snacks.
  • More than 40 extra-legroom seats will be installed across seven rows near the front of Spirit's aircraft, with the first flights featuring these seats scheduled for July 9.
  • Spirit has revamped its Free Spirit loyalty program, offering complimentary seat upgrades for elite members, expanded point-redemption options, and a free checked bag perk tied to its co-branded credit card.
  • The changes are part of Spirit's strategy to recover from Chapter 11 bankruptcy by targeting higher-spending leisure travelers and aligning with broader industry trends toward premium offerings.
