Past Pricing Tiers

Before its shutdown, Spirit Airlines offered two distinct pricing tiers for its in-flight WiFi service: a Browsing Pass and a Streaming Pass. The Browsing Pass, suitable for email, chat, and social media, typically started at $2.99 per flight. The Streaming Pass, marketed as approximately 20 times faster, allowed for video streaming and more data-intensive activities, with prices starting at $5.99 per flight.

Variable Pricing by Route

The cost of Spirit's WiFi passes varied depending on the specific route and flight length. While starting prices were $2.99 for browsing and $5.99 for streaming, these could increase to around $10 for the browsing pass and up to $16 for the streaming pass on longer, transcontinental routes. Each purchase provided access for the full duration of a single flight.

Historical Service and Payment

Passengers could purchase WiFi directly on board their flight or pre-purchase it through Spirit's website or mobile app. However, as Spirit Airlines ceased all operations on May 2, 2026, these pricing structures and services are no longer available.
