Spirit's reimagined Go Comfy travel option will be available to book beginning May 15

Free Spirit expands rewards and benefits starting today

DANIA BEACH, Fla., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Spirit Airlines (NYSE American: FLYY) today announced it is expanding onboard comfort and boosting the benefits of its Free Spirit loyalty program as part of the airline's latest initiative to elevate the Guest experience. The new advancements are significant milestones for the carrier, introducing a brand-new, extra-legroom seating option and exclusive new loyalty perks never offered before, including expanded redemption options, seat upgrades, two free checked bags benefit and more.

"Spirit's new premium options offer travelers exceptional value, and we're creating even more opportunities for Guests to experience them with our new extra-legroom seating option," said Rana Ghosh, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spirit Airlines. "We're also adding more value and perks for our loyalty members at a time when others are taking away benefits, giving our most loyal Guests even more reasons to choose Spirit."

Go Comfy Reimagined with the Addition of New Extra-Legroom Seating
Guests who prioritize comfort and an elevated experience will soon have the opportunity to stretch across four additional inches of legroom in Go Comfy with a new total pitch of 32 inches. The new preferred seating will include seven rows near the front of the aircraft and more than 40 seats. The extra-legroom seating will be installed beginning June 2025 and roll out across the majority of the fleet by July 2025. The remaining installations are expected to be completed in 2026. As part of enhancing Go Comfy, Spirit plans to phase out the blocked middle seat to allow for the introduction of extra-legroom seating.

In addition to the extra space, Go Comfy includes a carry-on bag, no change or cancel fees, Priority Boarding, reserved overhead bin space, a snack and non-alcoholic beverage. The extra-legroom seats will be available for booking based on availability starting May 15, 2025, for travel beginning July 9, 2025.
