We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
We have updated the Spirit Airlines Policy for Portly Passengers information to provide more comprehensive information about their customer of size policy. To learn more, check out our updated blog post, here.
Seat Sizes
The economy seats on many of the aircraft for Spirit Airlines measure 17.8 inches from inside the armrests. ‘Big Front Seat’ on many Spirit planes measures approximately 18.5 inches but some do go up to 20.88 inches on certain aircraft.
Seat Belts
Unfortunately, there was no information available about the length of Spirit Airline’s seatbelts at the time of this study. However, extenders are offered, but you cannot use them when sitting in a seat with an inflatable seatbelt. Flight Attendants will ask you to move if you are in one of these seats, but Spirit does offer a list on their website of rows and seats to avoid when selecting your seat if you are in need of an extender. Click here to see the list.
Policy for Overweight Passengers
Spirit Airline’s policy for overweight passengers states “To accommodate a guest of size who encroaches on an adjacent seat area and/or is unable to sit in a single seat with the armrests lowered airline staff might reassign you..” – Spirits Seating Policy
