Traveling with your furry friend can be a rewarding experience, but it's important to make sure you're prepared before you hit the skies. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add a pet to your Spirit flight:

How to Add a Pet to Spirit Flight

1. Check the Pet Policy

Before you book your flight, be sure to check Spirit's pet policy to make sure your pet is eligible to fly. Spirit allows dogs, cats, and household birds in the cabin, but there are some restrictions on the type, size, and weight of the animal. Emotional support animals may also be allowed on board.

2. Book Your Flight

Once you know that your pet is eligible to fly, you can book your flight. Spirit allows you to add a pet to your reservation online or via their customer service line. Be sure to select a pet-friendly flight when booking.

3. Complete the Pet Reservation

After booking your flight, you'll need to complete the pet reservation. This can be done online or through Spirit's customer service line. You'll need to provide your pet's name, age, weight, breed, and any other required information.

4. Prepare Your Pet for Travel

Before your flight, you'll need to make sure your pet is ready to travel. This includes providing a carrier that meets Spirit's size and weight requirements, as well as making sure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations. You'll also need to provide food and water for your pet during the flight.

5. Arrive at the Airport Early

On the day of your flight, arrive at the airport early to allow plenty of time for check-in and security. You'll need to present your pet's health and vaccination records to the airline staff, as well as pay the pet fee.

6. Check In Your Pet

Once you've checked in, you'll need to take your pet to the airline's pet check-in area. Here, your pet will be weighed and placed in a carrier. The carrier will then be loaded onto the plane.

7. Pick Up Your Pet at Your Destination

Once your flight arrives at your destination, you'll need to pick up your pet at the airline's pet claim area. Be sure to have your pet's carrier and all of their paperwork with you.
