Spirit Airlines will soon be introducing business-class seating.
The airline announced it will allow customers to pay extra for what it’s calling “Go Big” class of tickets, for those passengers in one of the extra wide seats in the front of the cabin.
The seats have been available for a number of years, but the new class of tickets includes snacks and drinks (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic), one carry-on bag, one checked bag, and streaming access.
In the past, customers always had to pay extra for those items. The “Go Big” class of tickets will have priority check-in, which had not previously been offered, as well as priority boarding.
“We’re unveiling a new era in Spirit’s history and taking low-fare travel to new heights with enhanced options that are unlike anything we’ve offered before,” said Spirit CEO Ted Christie in a statement.
Additionally, the back of Spirit planes will also allow passengers to pay more for seats in rows where the middle seat will not be sold.

Last week Southwest Airlines announced it would end its open seating policy and let passengers reserve seats for the first time. A major reason for the change was plans by Southwest to reconfigure its planes in 2025 to offer extra legroom for a premium price in one third of its rows. However, Southwest has not announced any plans to offer wider, business class seats.
Southwest used to be the most profitable US airline, according to reports from CNN, but it has struggled financially as well in recent years and is facing an activist investor who is pushing for a change in management to improve its profitability.
