How I Pack for Spirit Airlines (8 Days, No Additional Fees)

[@TDLTheDailyLife]

@Christine Celine (And other viewers) Here’s an additional tip. Don’t forget to measure the bag AFTER PACKING. Since it is not a hard case, the suitcase bulges. While the initial measurement is within their size requirements, a full suitcase may not fit. I’ve had my bags questioned, but because I measure after filling my bag (soft case suitcases or sometimes a backpack) I know it will be within their size limits when asked to put it in the sizer thing.

[@ChristineCeline]

TD Lazaro That’s a great tip! I definitely had a little bit of a bulge after packing but luckily no one thought twice about it at the gate. I also wonder if it’s because I checked-in online or they weren’t really looking ? I can’t really be sure why that is. I agree with you 100% because it can vary case by case! It’s definitely better safe than sorry! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@gabriellwalker4342]

So was it a personal item or carry on item, because carry ons are additional right? This is my first time flying and idk what I'm gonna do. Wish I had a bag like that

[@gabriellwalker4342]

*flying with Spirit

@@gabriellwalker4342 how did it go with your flight? I'm in the same position this year but with Frontier

[@tammarawiggins4193]

@@DivaDen you should be fine...i have the same bag and we fly frontier all the time.

I love that you packed your shoes in plastic. I do that. It gives me anxiety watching videos of ppl packing their shoes next to their clothes not in plastic. 😱🤢🤮

[@ChristineCeline]

AHAH omg good because the people that don't are savage sis. that gives me anxiety too!

[@aliblue3605]

Me too, I hate seeing when people put shoes and clothes together without a bag for the shoes.

[@tishypoo]

You know what else is gross AF? When people put their luggage on their bed 🤮 with allll the crap you drag along through the airports and outdoors... 🤢

[@dializ7253]

Me too 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅

[@journey4109]

Wow, such a typical women's pickiness for everything )( How is horrible that, microbes are going kill us (!)

[@2626firefly]

You can fit even more if you put clothing items in a ziploc and squeeze all the air out, like vacuum packed. I do that with socks, shirts, and sweaters.

[@ChristineCeline]

this is very true!

[@jennifermaggio7784]

Wow! I’m impressed you were able to fit all that in that tiny carry on suitcase! I didn’t think it could be done! I have a hard enough time fitting everything into my 22inch suitcase!

[@brigittetaylor1646]

Very very nice vid. Not too wordy and just what I wanted to see. You packed 8 days and I'm going away for 5 so I know my clothes will fit.

[@ChristineCeline]

how was your experience? i would love to know!

[@dializ7253]

NAILED IT!! 🥳🥳🥳 I military roll too!! Put these bags in my amazon cart late last night and have been researching ever since to if its gonna work for myself, my husband, and the kids (each will have their own on a 6 day trip. This was PERFECT!! ...I also wrap my shoes in plastic bags too when packing so glad I'm not alone!! 😅😅😅 People walk on and step in things then put them near their clothes or inside bags or luggage 🥴🥴🥴. Be blessed and thank you for posting and putting a wife with 4 kids at ease before a short trip 😄😄😄

[@ColetteOConnor]

I use elastic bands on my rolled items, to keep them in shape when I have to move/find things later.

[@osvaldoarreola2434]

I work with spirit airlines I'm an agent and you really did a great job congrats

[@roseanduxar1453]

Quick question @Osvaldo Arreola. Is this a carry on or a personal item bag? I know that you pay for carry on, but do you also have to pay for personal?

[@rosemaldonado6596]

Does this fit underseat spirit?

[@naturalhairchickonabudgett849]

Great packing tips! I’m planning a 14 day trip and I actually think I can get away with packing for 7-8 days on spirit airlines. Thanks love video 👍🏾

[@christieervin6494]

Great video! I have the same bag but I’ve upped my packing by using a couple of sleeping bag compression bags, they compress more than anything else I’ve used. Since I basically live in leggings, sweats and t-shirts, wrinkles aren’t a concern. I can double what I carry in the bag!

[@Godcelina]

Your video just saved me from buying another under-seater. I have the same bag and packing for 3 days I worried that Spirit will notaccept it haha THANK YOU!!!

[@soniachalmers4758]

Love that you didn't talk on and on about irrelevant stuff. Short, visual, and to the point. Thank you. Did you weigh you bag. Here in Australia, the budget lines seem more concerned about weight.

[@3Kitais]

How nice travelling by air could be if everyone would pack like this. Great video. Thanks!

I have packed for 9 days in a bag similar to this. Only difference is I used packing cubes. It can be done people.

[@aaronjoshuaa]

Thank you for this video, it finally pushed me to buy the carry on I'd been looking at. I wasn't sure I'd be able to fit everything for a 7 day trip but this made me feel like it was possible.

[@AnneMB955]

Love that you have a manageable size bag. Not too unwieldy. Great job!

[@gabriellexoxo21]

thank you so much for this review. i just ordered two! cant believe this bag came from walmart. its a great price.

[@KylaF904]

So I know you mentioned it as a "carry on" item. Were you able to fit this under the front seat or did you have to place this in the overhead bin? Plus you brought a backpack, did that fit under the seat along with your roller bag? I know you posted this back in 2018 and might not remember exactly but im plannin in being a minimalist for my upcoming short trip and I will be flying spirit for the first time. so I was just curious how it worked out for you.

[@Mochiboba90]

So i bought this bag because of this video.I packed myself and my son’s clothes for a week trip in FL! Thanks for the info 😊

[@ChristineCeline]

I hope you have a blast! I'm so glad that this video helped!

[@playwithrj4802]

That is unbelievably amazing... seriously... packing goals! You've inspired me to up my packing game!😅

[@mindysalsberg6649]

Great job packing that all into such a small carryon. Thx for sharing

[@ChristineCeline]

Thank you so much! I hope it was insightful should you ever need to fly a budget airline like spirit!

[@dominique2o06]

thanks I'm great at packing and our styles are similar I watched this because I'm planning to buy this bag and wanted to see how it looked

[@lup3wond3rland85]

Thanks so much for this video. I’m riding with spirit in October, so hopefully this bag will get me through. 🖤

[@julietrosner9839]

When I'm packing anything, whether it's a suitcase or my purse or a box, I always start with the largest or oddly-shaped items first and fit everything in around it using sequentially smaller items. I find it to be foolproof.

[@ChristineCeline]

great tip as well!

[@kevinonthank]

🤩 WOW great job!! Yea I don’t bring as much either anymore and mix and match like you. Just easier and then you can take advantage if low fares !! If I find something I cannot fit in my bag during my travels I just mail it to myself lol.

[@ChristineCeline]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes! Mailing things is a great way to avoid additional fees and isn't crazy expensive!

[@MissMerMer1980]

Im so glad that i saw this video. I leave for a week long trip in about... 11 hours, flying on Spirit Airlines. I have this exact bag and was wondering if it was small enough to fit in the personal free item box. I dont have mine packed as full as what you did (going to Florida, and its still hot...). Now that ive seen this, maybe i can get a few hours of sleep.

[@fana2chucky]

Hey just curious if it fit in the sizer for the trip MissMerMer1980?

[@MissMerMer1980]

@@fana2chucky yes it did. Even with having a few extra things on the way back (2 t shirts, a tall coffee mug and a new bathing suit). I had no problems getting it to fit.

[@aileruful]

This is the video I needed before I left for break haha

[@ChristineCeline]

hahah i hope this helps in the future! I actually ended up shopping a little and STILL fit it all. Granted I did have to hold my camera and stuff my parka with some batteries, sunglasses and chargers.

[@thebritfix]

I freakin love this! thanks for making this video. Ive never folded like that but it makes sense also I just ordered this off of amazon and your is the Only helpful vid I've seen. and WOW lol idk how you were able to pack so much *takes notes*

[@kellyt316]

If fully packed is it still hard to get under the seat? And will this bag fit all spirit airplanes...so nervous to get on and it not fit...

[@ChristineCeline]

It definitely required some pushing on the way back but I am also 5ft1 and was fine. If you're taller, it could be cramped.

[@rosemaldonado6596]

Kelly did it fit, she didn’t say.

[@leilagarcia9451]

Did this fit under the seat on Spirit and did it fit the sizer box?

[@geysasantiago9158]

That bag fits as a personal item for Spirit? Awesome!

[@lorihunt2503]

***I HAVE THIS BAG AND IT FIT IN SPIRIT BOX YESTERDAY. maybe they enlarged the box. Dimensions are 19 inches x 9 now. Theres a tape measure tape on back of it.

[@lydellcortez8283]

Great video. That little bag has amazing packing capacity!

[@pek264]

I LOVE this video, incredibly helpful... BUT: I REALLY want to know if anyone has purchased this bag and gotten it past the Spirit luggage sizer. The listing on Walmart says it's 16 x 16 x 8 inches (fine print says 16.5 with wheels). Spirit Airlines web info says the size limit is 18 x 14 x 8 inches...

[@kandi83]

George R. Thank you for the tip. Do you have a link for that bag ?

[@eastcoastenergy]

Christine great video - Keep up the good work!!

[@heatherframpton9693]

Thank you, as this has given me new ideas about packing a new carry-on (that's very similar this one, maybe a couple more compartments...still the same main open packing space.) that I brought on a current trip. 👍😊 Just when I thought that I saw a sufficient number of packing videos...😊

[@anA-to1cz]

This video was super helpful! but I have a question... did they let you in with the razor? I'm kinda scared to pack mine because I don't feel like having to open my bag and throw away my razor in the middle of everything because it's a safety hazard or something.

[@j3nnie99]

I remember reading that the razor has to be Disposable and the razor part cannot detach ( so one piece with no removable parts)

[@ChristineCeline]

It was a disposable razor and I had no issues! Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm happy this could help you!

[@laurab4570]

Did this bag go under the seat so you weren’t charged for a carry-on or checked bag? It’s considered a personal item??

[@alejandro_ramirez]

Yes, that bag is considered a personal item so you don't have to pay for it. I personally have flown Spirit using the bags from a brand called UNDERSEAT PRO®, their backpacks, suitcases and carry ons are designed to meet Spirit's personal item and carry on size requirements. You can buy them on Amazon, I don't think I am allowed to post a link but you can search on Amazon with their product code, the under seat suitcase number is B091NL6G64, the carry-on is B091DRRNNB and the backpack is B091WSV6X9. Or you can check them out in their site underseat.pro

[@scrambledwithcheese]

Would have liked to see what it looked like under the airplane seat.

Where did you purchase your luggage? What brand is it?

[@msblackpinkie6866]

I'm actually not surprised it all fit. I'm just wondering about the weight. You can fit a bunch of stuff but it'll probably weigh a lot. Does Spirit Airlines have any weight limiy with the carry-on?

[@ChristineCeline]

Hey! I just double checked and they only specify a 40 lb weight limit on checked baggage. My bag was definitely heavy but not anywhere near that heavy. I could manage it well and it fit under my seat decently. It was a little tight but it worked. Thank again for watching and I hope this helps!

I'm planning on using an underseat bag for 4-5 day business trips with men's dress shoes, business dress shirts and pants, etc (no suit). I assume that if I roll or do the triple fold technique, everything needs to be ironed?

[@RayneRuth]

What size is the laptop you placed in that bag during the video? Or did you just place the empty sleeve in there? Thanks.

[@ChristineCeline]

Corey Sabatino I recently switched to a newer model of the 13 inch MacBook Pro. I used to have an older, thicker model so the sleeve is a little bigger. I did place the laptop in the bag

What brand is that carry on and did it easily fit in the Spirit sizer? Thanks!

[@ChristineCeline]

Tanya S it’s from TPRC. It’s found at Walmart. I didn’t put it in the sizer because I opted to check-in online to save time. I went straight to security and then to to the gate for boarding. None of the staff actually put it in the sizer at either PHL or LAX when boarding of course! The bag itself fits within the sizer dimensions although it got a little more expanded when I came back after some light shopping. I placed the bag under the seat going and up in the overhead coming back since there was space! I hope that helps and thank you for watching! ❤️

[@tanyas7511]

Christine Celine thanks!

[@MrJflashman]

I’ve watched a ton of these videos and I’m really impressed with what you managed to pack in that little case!

[@johnnydelgado5828]

So you will bring 2 Personal items? The purple bag + the brown for your vlogging stuff?

[@yelenarivera2422]

Johnny Delgado i was wondering the same. I wish she elaborated more on that and the spirit airline fees etc

[@ChristineCeline]

The brown bag actually was packed into the purple under seat bag during each of my flights. Once I was at my destination, I took out the brown bag for my vlogging gear. I did not have to pay any additional fees as a result since they allow one personal item (within the dimensions listed in the video) for free. My purple bag counted as a personal item. If you have an additional bag, then it costs 25+ depending on the flight and whether it is a carry-on or checked bag. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!

Lately, they’ve been cracking down HARD on sizing bags and extra baggage (keep in mind these people earn a commission of $10 for ever person they catch). Best advice I can give is wear a thick cardigan/jacket/coat over your mini backpack/purse.

I suggest keeping an eye out since the inventory always changes!
