During the Thanksgiving travel period, Spirit Airlines plans to operate more than 3,200 flights (covering over three million miles, which is the equivalent of more than 21 billion pumpkin pies laid end-to-end). The busiest travel days are expected to be November 30th and December 1st, when travelers return home after the long weekend.
This holiday season, Spirit will offer more premium seating than ever before, thanks to its expanded Spirit First and Premium Economy travel options. Passengers booking these enhanced experiences can enjoy additional legroom, priority boarding, and other perks designed to elevate the inflight experience. Those opting for the Big Front Seat® can indulge in complimentary snacks, beverages (including alcoholic options) and extra space to unwind before reaching their destinations.
As Thanksgiving approaches, Spirit Airlines continues to position itself as a go-to carrier for value-minded travelers seeking both affordability and comfort. Whether heading to the beaches of Florida, the lights of Las Vegas, or a family gathering in the city, Spirit’s growing network and enhanced travel options ensure passengers can make the most of their holiday journeys.
Rana Ghosh, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spirit Airlines, said:
This Thanksgiving, travelers are searching for flights to spend the long weekend with the people and places they’re most thankful for. Guests heading home or carving out time for a much-needed vacation can count on us to deliver the greatest value on their travels this holiday season and beyond.”
Anthony’s Take: Spirit has been struggling this year. A series of recent moves to cut down its fleet size and routes seems to be helping it stay on track. Here’s hoping this is a profitable holiday for the low-cost carrier.
