Spirit check in for free#
They seem to follow the same approach as Ryan air: when you check in online, they will try to put you in a middle seat as long as they have one - in hope that you wouldn't like this and pay for another seat. I also checked in ~16 hours before a flight and got 17F. I checked in ~3 hours before a flight and ended up with 7B, which is near the front but a middle seat. Question: Is there an optimal time to check into a Spirit flight to maximize my chances of getting an aisle or window seat? If this is not possible, does anybody know if later check-ins will tend to seat me closer to the front of the plane?ĮDIT: In case anybody is curious, I have two data points. Usually the web check in option is available 48-24 hours before your flight. Of course, this is a very small sample size, so I don't know if it has just been a coincidence or if this is indicative of how their "random" seat assignment algorithm works. Online Spirit Airlines web check-in is the fastest and most convenient way to check-in for your Spirit Airlines flight. In the times where I waited longer (1-3 hours before), I have been able to get aisle and window seats. I haven't been able to find out much else via Google.īoth times where I have checked in as soon as possible (24 hours before), I ended up with a middle seat near the back of the plane. I will let Spirit pick my seat for me, which happens when I check in.įrom personal experience and from a few questionable sources, it seems like Spirit assigns seats at the back of the plane first (and possibly the middle seats first as well): In addition to this, the e-Boarding pass will also be sent to your email address by the respective airline. Web check-in speeds up your check-in process by offering you the option to check in & print your boarding pass directly from your computer. I am planning to take a Spirit flight where I have not prepaid for a seat assignment. Check Now check-in directly for Spirit flight from the comfort of your home/office.
