Spirit Airlines personal item size was 18 × 14 × 8 in — and Spirit Airlines is gone

Spirit Airlines ceased operations on 2026-05-02, so these limits no longer apply to any flight. They are kept because the bags people bought to meet them still exist — below, every airline still flying that accepts a 18 × 14 × 8 in bag. Sizes checked against Spirit Airlines's official pages on 2026-07-02.

Sizer enforcement: strict editorial view, not airline data
Historically the strictest US enforcement (paid carry-on)

You bought a 18 × 14 × 8 in bag for Spirit Airlines. Where does it still fit?

Spirit Airlines is gone, but the bag is not. Every limit below is that airline's own published personal-item size, checked on 2026-07-02 — the same numbers as each airline's page on this site. A bag can be turned, so we compare longest side to longest side.

No published personal-item size to compare against: Delta Air Lines, Alaska Airlines, Avelo Airlines, Emirates, Hawaiian Airlines, Qatar Airways. A carrier with no published limit is not the same as a generous one — the gate agent still decides.

Soft-sided bags compress a little and the gate agent is the final word — this is the published rule, not a promise about your check-in. Measure your bag against the exact carrier before you fly.
