Spirit Airlines carry-on and personal item size

Spirit Airlines stopped flying on 2 May 2026, so there is no Spirit Airlines bag allowance to check any more. If you had a booking, the airline's last notices said refunds go through the card you paid with or your travel agent.

Spirit Airlines used to be known for the strictest free personal item in the US. If you're rebooking on another low-cost airline, these are the current sizes (checked 5 October 2026):
