I have never flown Spirit Airlines, so I don't know what their size limits are for a personal item. I will say that I used this bag as a carry on last spring when we flew from Charlotte to Philadelphia to Athens. The plane from Charlotte to Philadelphia was a smaller regional jet and the one to Athens was the typical large plane used for international flights. (I'm afraid I don't have the planes' make and model; however, we flew USAirways, if that helps.)
I had no trouble at all storing the bag in the overhead compartments on both flights. I do remember thinking on the international flight I could have easily carried on a much larger bag.
Hope this helps.

I have the bag. From the base of the wheels to the top of the bag is 22" and the width is 14". The height depends on how much you stuff in and whether you use the expansion zipper.

"Packability" is a better way to quantify/ qualify this piece of luggage. Although dimensions are similar to most larger end "carry-on", I have packed astounding amounts of clothing in my eagle creek bag. Enough for 2-3 weeks of travel. I've used similar styles of Eagle creek bags for over 20 years.
Love'em
