The Best Spirit Airlines Baggage Hack

Did your round-trip airfare just double in price due to baggage fees? It’s definitely happened to the best of us. Well, your mind is about to be blown with this one Spirit Airlines baggage hack that will save you $100’s on future flights. This travel secret can also be applied to any other low-cost airlines that charge for carry-on bags as well.

I wish I had known about this hack years ago before flying numerous low-cost flights around the world and spending $100s (if not $1000s) on baggage fees.

When booking a Spirit Airlines flight, I always have to ask myself “do I pay more for a carry-on or save a few dollars on a checked bag but lose a few minutes of my life waiting at check-in and baggage claim?” If you’re reading this blog, I’m guessing you’ve probably asked yourself the same question.

Note that this Spirit Airlines baggage hack won’t work for checked baggage, only for carry-on baggage.

Currently, these are the Spirit Airlines carry-on baggage fee prices:

During Booking:

  • $9 Fare Club – $26-$31
  • Standard – $30-$40

Before & During Online Check-In:

  • $9 Fare Club – $36-$41
  • Standard – $40-$50

Airport Reservation Desk: $55

At Gate: $65

Showing off my math skills here, this Spirit Airlines baggage fee hack could save you up to $130 on a round-trip flight.

Checked bag prices are slightly less, but really, who wants to have to check a bag for a quick weekend trip if they don’t have to?

Ready to find out what the hack is? It’s as simple as can be!

One word: Pillow

Yes, you read that correctly. Using a pillow as a carry-on will save you $100s on Spirit Airlines baggage fees.

Sound crazy? Here’s what I mean!

Take an empty pillow case and fill it with all your traveling needs. Then, walk right through the gate without the attendants giving you a second glance.

I’ve used this hack, as well as a bunch of my friends, and it has worked every time!!!

PRO TIP: I’d recommend getting a zippered pillow case like the one below so you don’t have to worry about anything falling out.

Or, better yet, a colored pillow so be super discreet.

Unless you’re a super-seasoned packer (which I am not), this Spirit Airlines baggage hack will probably only work for a quick weekend trip where you’re carrying only a few changes of clothes.

Hmmm… this gives me a good idea. Perhaps my next video will be a packing tutorial on fitting all the necessities into a pillowcase 🙂

If a pillow isn’t going to provide you enough space for all your travel goods, these light weight carry-on bags are your next best bet.

    I honestly like Spirit — they’ve never been late for me, gotten me to my destination when other airlines had canceled my flight but they have some confusing airline policies. After searching so much I have finally got a solution by {airlinespolicy}, they helped me a lot during Covid time. I am very thankful to the team of airlinespolicy.
