You can never do enough for military members and their families. Spirit Airlines is certainly trying to make air travel as easy as
possible.
The
carrier is extending the existing benefits for active-duty United States military
service members to their spouses and children when traveling with the
service member.
The new policy is effective immediately. It includes two free standard checked bags, one free standard carry-on bag, and one free personal item per person. Complimentary priority boarding is also available for active-duty service members.
"We
applaud and appreciate our military families who make sacrifices every day to
support their loved ones who are in service to our country, and we're happy to
extend our gratitude to them with new inclusion in our military benefits,"
said Matt Klein, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at
Spirit Airlines. "These expanded free baggage benefits, coupled with
Spirit's low fares to more than 85 destinations, make travel for our U.S.
military families more accessible and offers them the opportunity to make new
memories together more often."
In addition to the newly expanded
military benefits, Spirit has a long history of supporting initiatives for U.S.
service members. The airline partners with Luke's Wings and Wounded
Warriors to provide immediate family members with free flights to visit
service members and veterans who have been injured in the line of duty.
Spirit is headquartered in Miramar,
Florida, home to an active military base and National Guard unit.
Spirit also proudly partners with Honor
Flight South Florida up to four times a year to fly World War II and
Korean War veterans, as well as those veterans who are terminally ill, to the
Washington D.C. area to visit and reflect at the memorials built in their
honor. In spring 2023, Spirit flew more than 80 veterans as part of Honor
Flight South Florida and will host another Honor Flight this summer.
