Musical Instruments as Carry-On on Spirit Airlines
Small musical instruments (e.g. violins, flutes, guitars, etc.) are permitted as carry-on baggage as long as the instrument can be safely stowed in the overhead bin or under the customer’s seat. Stowage in the overhead bins is available on a first-come, first-serve basis

Purchasing an Additional Seat for A Musical Instrument on Spirit Airlines
Spirit Airlines allows the carriage of musical instruments in the cabin as seat baggage (cargo in the cabin) if the instrument is too large to be stowed safely in a suitable baggage compartment in the aircraft cabin or under a passenger seat. The customer must purchase an additional seat and the cost is the applicable fare for the portions of the flight that the extra seat is requested plus sales tax. No additional fees will be charged. The instrument must be appropriately packaged in a container/case in a manner to avoid possible injury to customers and customer compartment occupants. The instrument may not impose any load on seats or the floor structure that exceeds the load limitation for those components. The item must be properly secured by the aircraft’s seatbelt or other tie down having enough strength to eliminate the possibility of shifting under all normally anticipated flight and ground conditions. The instrument cannot block any customer’s view of the “SEAT BELT” sign, “NO SMOKING” sign or required “EXIT” sign. The instrument cannot occupy an emergency exit seat or impede access to the cabin aisle. The instrument may occupy a middle seat provided the adjacent window seat remains unoccupied.
Musical Instruments as Checked Baggage on Spirit Airlines
Musical instruments are considered fragile items. Fragile items will be accepted as checked baggage if they are appropriately packaged in a container/case designed for shipping such items. The cost to check your musical instrument includes the appropriate checked bag price plus any applicable over-sized and overweight charges. A limited liability release form must be signed by the guest relieving Spirit Airlines of liability for loss/damage of the instrument.
