How this airline usually checks

Spirit's Contract of Carriage says that for travel to or from an international destination, every traveler, including children of any age, must have a valid passport and all foreign government documents required to enter and leave that country, and these must be provided to Spirit at check-in. Spirit may refuse to transport anyone crossing an international boundary whose travel documents are not in order.[1]

  • Staff verify your passport and entry documents at check-in for international flights.
  • Every traveler is included, with no exception for children.
  • If your documents are not in order, Spirit can refuse to board you.

When to be ready

Have your passport and any required entry documents ready at check-in for any international Spirit flight, and remember that a valid onward or return reservation covers the proof-of-departure part of that check.
