Loyalty Program Perks
Complimentary Access for Elite Members
Before its cessation of operations, Spirit Airlines provided complimentary in-flight WiFi to its Free Spirit Gold elite members. This benefit was announced in September 2024, offering a valuable perk to the airline's most loyal customers.
Free Wi-Fi for Spirit First Guests
In addition to Free Spirit Gold members, passengers who purchased a Spirit First fare also received free gate-to-gate Wi-Fi access. This meant eligible guests could connect from the moment they boarded until they landed.
Service No Longer Available
It is important to note that with Spirit Airlines ceasing all operations on May 2, 2026, all services, including complimentary WiFi for elite members and Spirit First guests, are no longer active. The airline's orderly wind-down means these benefits are historical.
