How to Check Spirit Airlines Flight Status

How to Check Spirit Airlines Flight Status?

Honestly, I learned how to check my Spirit Airlines flight status the hard way. A few months ago, I was flying from Orlando to Las Vegas for a weekend trip, and Spirit’s constant “delayed” updates had me totally anxious. I kept refreshing my email and didn’t realize Spirit actually makes it super easy to check flight status in real time—if you know where to look.

Here’s what I did (and what I wish I’d known earlier):

Step 1: Go to Spirit Airlines’ official website. On the homepage, there’s a “Flight Status” tab right up top. Just click it.

Step 2: Enter either your flight number or your departure and arrival cities. Once you hit “Search,” you’ll see real-time updates—whether it’s on time, delayed, or boarding.

Step 3: You can also use the Spirit Airlines mobile app, which I honestly recommend. It sends live push notifications if your gate changes or if there’s a delay. It’s saved me from a lot of airport stress since that trip.

Step 4 (Optional but smart): Call Spirit’s customer service line at 844-734-0813. I did this once when my flight status online showed “pending,” and the rep was super helpful—they confirmed the gate, boarding time, and even helped me adjust my seat since I had a tight connection. It’s honestly the quickest way to book, cancel, or modify flights too, especially if you don’t want to wait around for online updates.

Pro tip: Always double-check your flight status a few hours before heading to the airport. Spirit tends to update schedules close to departure time, especially for weather-related delays.

Since that Vegas trip, I’ve made it a habit to check both the app and call 844-734-0813 whenever I fly with Spirit. It gives me peace of mind knowing I have the latest info straight from the source.

So yeah, next time—skip the stress and just check early. A two-minute call or quick search can save you hours of confusion at the gate.
