What are the hours and when should I call?
Spirit Air operates the call center for this 855-728-3555 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Sunday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 4,637 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Spirit Air call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Spirit Air phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Spirit Air staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Spirit Air is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 36% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 4,637 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Sunday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday, which is 78% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call Spirit Air is Sunday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Spirit Air staffs up on Sunday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Thanks to a streamlined phone system, Spirit Air makes it easy for customers who need to reach an agent for questions or concerns. When calling their support line, I was greeted with an automated message offering Spanish language assistance by pressing 9 followed by a notice to stay on the phone at the end of the call for a short survey.
Customers calling from mobile phones are then given the option to converse with Spirit Air representatives in real time via text messaging by pressing 1. That sounded like an efficient method but I decided to wait on the phone to see if I could speak with someone.
After a minute of hold time, I was offered a full menu of options ranging from booking a new flight or checking on an existing reservations to help with general questions or Sprit Air credit card assistance. Since I was calling to get information about their payment plan program, I opted for general questions and was placed on hold. While waiting, the automated system shares informational updates regarding the new RealID card that will be required to fly starting in 2025 as well as Spirit Air’s reward program that helps flyers accrue miles for discounts.
Upbeat music fills the hold time, which lasted close to 10 minutes. This wasn’t too tedious of a wait for me but for those who don’t have much time to spare, the text option initially offered may be the way to go. When the rep came on the line, I was asked to give my identification before being asked how I could be helped.
Having never flown on Spirit, I asked the rep about any deals, promotions or payment plans that would make booking a flight more budget-friendly. He explained that any seasonal promotions are regularly posted online, adding that Spirit does offer a payment plan through Uplift that allows customers to pay for a flight in low monthly payments. Flyers are able to book flights now, choose Uplift at the time of payment and apply for the program. Approval isn’t guaranteed, he shared, and may be denied based on credit details or amount requested.
However, once approved and the loan terms determined, he told me flyers can reserve flights as soon as needed and begin making payments within the approved period. Interest rates tend to be lower than most credit cards, he added.
This sounded like a great way to make a budget-friendly trip happen, especially when tight finances prohibit making one large payment. He agreed and asked if I had any other questions. I thanked him for his time before the call ended and hung around for the survey, ready to share my appreciation for a helpful and knowledgeable employee.

Why Customers Call Spirit Air
If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Spirit Air, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.
Spirit Air has a unique baggage policy known as Bare Fare™, where passengers are only entitled to a small personal item, like a purse or small backpack, for free. Any additional luggage, including carry-on and checked bags, attracts an additional fee. Passengers can choose different options to add baggage allowances to their booking, with prices varying based on the weight and size of the bags. For those traveling with larger or multiple bags, it is recommended to pre-purchase baggage allowances online, as fees tend to be higher at the airport. The specific baggage allowance and associated fees can be found on the Spirit Air website or by contacting their customer service.
Spirit Air's carry-on baggage policy allows each passenger one personal item to be brought on board for free. This personal item must fit under the seat in front of you and should not exceed dimensions of 18 x 14 x 8 inches. However, for an additional fee, passengers can also bring a larger, overhead bin-sized carry-on bag. This larger bag should not exceed dimensions of 22 x 18 x 10 inches, including handles and wheels. It is important to note that Spirit Air charges fees for both personal item and larger carry-on bag if not selected during online booking and instead requested at the gate. Additionally, all carry-on bags must adhere to weight restrictions, which vary based on the fare type and destination.

If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Spirit Air provides this option.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Spirit Air customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
