I wouldn't pay it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-as-a-family-on-spirit-airlines#post-2480633 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 19:38:35 +0000 delight 2480633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just flew spirit a couple weeks ago with my 2 year old. I paid the 10$ per seat each way and my friends laughed at me and said they would have sat us together. When I was boarding, I asked if they would have just sat me with her and they said they certainly would have. I am pretty anxious flying just me and a toddler, so I'd probably always pay the 10$ per seat just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-as-a-family-on-spirit-airlines#post-2480519 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 17:45:15 +0000 Tanjowen 2480519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fly Spirit every 3 months out to see family with my 2 year old and my husband. We never pay to sit together, but they have always sat us next to each other, no problem. Based on my experience with them, I would be very surprised if they separated you from your LO, but they might split you and your SO apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-as-a-family-on-spirit-airlines#post-2480473 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 17:13:56 +0000 HabesBabe 2480473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want to guarantee seats together, you're going to have to bite the bullet and pay the extra fee. It's up to you if you think the $160 is worth it or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-as-a-family-on-spirit-airlines#post-2479713 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:42:55 +0000 youboots 2479713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bamblm: email? FAQ? I wonder if you could call the airport and be transferred to the desk?</p> <p>Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-as-a-family-on-spirit-airlines#post-2479709 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:41:22 +0000 bamblm 2479709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: there is actually no customer service number on the website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-as-a-family-on-spirit-airlines#post-2479699 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:37:40 +0000 youboots 2479699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just call customer service. SW lets families board early after group A. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-as-a-family-on-spirit-airlines#post-2479681 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:31:49 +0000 bamblm 2479681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any experiences traveling as a family on Spirit airlines? Is it worth it to pay to sit together? it's $10 per seat per segment, so it would be an extra $160 round trip for a family of four. And honestly, I'd *maybe* be okay not sitting next to my 3.5 yr old :wink: :silly: , just not sure how the rest of the plane would take it.</p> <p>Would they automatically try to put at least two of us together? </p>
