Does Spirit Airlines allow you to bring food onboard?
I had heard that at one time Spirit Airlines won't allow you to bring any of your own food onboard the plane. Is this still the case?
Thank you.
Thank you.

The last time I flew on spirit, we had no problems bringing food. Although, if u bring food from outside (before going through security) just make sure it's like a sandwich or snacks. They scan it through the machines and if it's like a soup or anything similar, the security will not allow it. But spirit itself has no problems.
On another note, have they started charging for boarding passes if I get them at the airport? Or should I print it out at home?

Thanks for the replies.
I had read (probably an old report) that Spirit set up a table at the gate, going through all carry on luggage looking for food being brought on board! I guess those were old reports.
Spirit's website says that they charge for a boarding pass at the airport. I can print one at home before I leave and hope I can print one at my hotel for the return flight.

This has never been the case with Spirit, you have always, and continue to be able to bring food on board. The former SkyBus had a policy that they said you were not allowed to bring any food on board
