Bummer to read spirit might go under .. as a lite traveler ..stuff my clothes/belongings in a book bag ..spirit is very inexpensive and after ten or more good/fine flights in 2023 their my go to airline. None of my flights with them were any different than paying more to fly with the other more expensive airlines. My worst was a delta flight as they didn't clean the bathroom and it stink up the mid section of the plane and I paid double with delta vs. spirit.

Ironically I think Spirit’s big front seats are the best value in the sky in terms of price and comfort, and they’re usually available if you book early enough.
Yep, I have fiddled with my origin/destination cities just so I could take a Spirit flight with a Big Front Seat. The perks of a real domestic first class are nice, but the main thing you’re paying for is space to yourself. On Spirit, that space just costs a lot less.

Do you mean business class?

Spirit literally calls them "big front seats".

The seats are about as big as domestic first class on other airlines, but you don’t get upgraded service (e.g. free meals/drinks).
There is no business class on Spirit.
