Requesting wheelchair assistance at the Airport

Spirit Airline does not have a curbside check-in. Therefore:

• You may request the airline representative at the terminal for assistance. In this manner, you can receive a wheelchair outside the Spirit's terminal to the check-in counter, security, and finally, your gate. The wheelchair porter can also assist you if you need to go to the washroom or eat.
• If you need to pre-board the aircraft in a wheelchair, inform the representative at the gate. You'll be required to be present at the gate before boarding begins.

Spirit Airline will request wheelchair-assistance passengers to remain on the plane once they arrive at their destination until every person has deplaned. This allows agents to identify guests who need help and assist them promptly.

The agents will also help you to pick up your bag and assist you to your connecting flight outside the Spirit's terminal. Also, you are required to identify yourself to a Spirit's representative to get wheelchair assistance.

Onboard assistance - Aisle wheelchair

Spirit Airline offers onboard and aisle wheelchair assistance for guests who need support to their flight seats after boarding the plane.

When you arrive at the airport, ensure to inform the airline agent that you'll need an aisle wheelchair when boarding. Once you land at your destination, you'll receive aisle wheelchair assistance after the last guest has deplaned to facilitate a smooth transition.
