Spirit Airlines to introduce premium travel class amid raft of service upgrades | Airlines

Florida-based budget carrier Spirit Airlines has announced it is to introduce a premium class product akin to other US carriers’ first class cabin onboard its flights. The move comes amid a raft of changes being introduced by the carrier as it seeks to improve its profitability and capitalize on the rise in demand for premium travel options in the US domestic market.  

In what the airline is calling a “milestone moment for low-fare travel”, Spirit will offer its customers the option to select a choice of premium experiences on its services.

Each of Spirit’s Airbus aircraft will feature two rows of four abreast ‘Go Big’…
