I bet you never expected Spirit Airlines to make news with free checked bags and seat assignments, but it’s true. Or rather, it will be true for some travelers when the airline rolls out its new frequent flyer program early next year.
Spirit Airlines has known for quite some time that its current frequent flyer program is, as the airline puts it, “dated.”
With miles that expired as soon as 90 days after earning them and award booking fees that could cost almost as much as some flights paid with cash, the old program didn’t always do much to reward loyal flyers.
