Help

Good questions, straight answers

What's included in the $39 fare?

Your seat, assigned at check-in, and one personal item that fits under the seat in front of you (18 × 14 × 8 in). Everything else is optional, priced up front, and cheapest when you add it during booking.

Why is it spelled with an "s"?

Because we keep only the essentials, and one of them turned out to be a letter we liked better. The name stuck before anyone could charge us for a second opinion.

Can I change my flight?

Yes. Changes are free up to 7 days before departure on every fare; you only pay any fare difference. Add Flight Flex for a free change closer in.

Is Front Seat first class?

It is a wider seat with 36 inches of pitch, a snack and a drink, and first boarding. There are no hot towels, and the price is a fraction of first class.

Where is Essense based?

Our headquarters and largest base are in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Most routes start in Florida, Las Vegas, Detroit or Atlanta.

Can I bring my own food?

Yes. Solid snacks are welcome on board. Liquids follow the usual TSA rules at security.
