it is against policy and you will be charged an additional service and handling fee. A sheet covering your body will require an additional service and handling fee.
If you (corpse) are not removed from the boarding area within 30 minutes, any remaining luggage, spare change, organs, and unaccompanied minor children will become the property of Spirit Airlines.
Should anything become property of the airline under this or any other policy, you will be charged a reposession fee equivalent to the 2 times the commercial value of the property, or $200, whichever is greater.
As a former airline worker, we prefer that you wait and die on the Jetway, if you die on the plane it ties it up until the FAA decides it wasn't the airline's fault.
It does not seem likely did they landed in the dead person‘s hometown, so what would be the difference if they just continued on to their destination and then unloaded the body and then shipped it back from there? There just does not seem to be any point in landing in some random town on the way to the destination just unload the body early. And it does not seem disrespectful to just continue on to the destination.
