As a low-cost carrier where travelers must pay extra for onboard food and beverages, reserved seats, and both carry-on and checked luggage, it’s uncommon for these kind of carriers to provide any in-flight entertainment at all. However, Spirit Airlines had made a change are beginning to installing WiFi antennas across their fleet.
