What’s the Spirit Airlines Class Action About?

A class action lawsuit was filed against Spirit Airlines in 2017 alleging that the airline charged passengers illegal carry-on bag fees. The lawsuit claimed that Spirit Airlines deceived passengers by not clearly disclosing its carry-on bag policy on its website or at the time of booking.

In 2023, Spirit Airlines agreed to settle the lawsuit for $8.5 million. The settlement does not require Spirit Airlines to admit any wrongdoing, but it does provide compensation to passengers who were charged illegal carry-on bag fees.

  • You booked your flight through one of the following Online Travel Agencies (OTAs): CheapTickets, Travelocity, Bookit, Expedia, Kiwi, or CheapOair
