As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Spirit Airlines had a cancellation policy in place. However, airline policies can change over time, so I recommend verifying the most current information on the Spirit Airlines website or by contacting their customer service directly for the latest details. Here are some general guidelines regarding Spirit Airlines' cancellation policy as of that time:

 

  • typically allows passengers to cancel their reservations within 24 hours of booking without incurring any cancellation fees. This is in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.

 

  • Non-Refundable Tickets: Spirit Airlines often offers lower-cost, non-refundable fares. If you have a non-refundable ticket and you cancel your flight beyond the 24-hour window, you may not be eligible for a refund. However, the value of your ticket might be applied as a credit for future travel, minus any applicable fees.

 

  • Refundable Tickets: Passengers with refundable tickets are usually entitled to receive a refund when they cancel their reservations, subject to the fare rules and conditions associated with those tickets.
  •  
  • Cancelation Fees: If you cancel a non-refundable ticket after the 24-hour window, Spirit Airlines may charge a cancellation fee. The fee can vary based on factors such as when you cancel and the fare type. The specific fee and terms should be outlined in your ticket's terms and conditions.

 

  • Credits: In some cases, when you cancel a non-refundable ticket, you may receive a credit with Spirit Airlines for the value of the canceled flight. This credit can typically be used toward future travel with the airline. Be sure to check the expiration date and any restrictions on the use of this credit.

 

  • Changing or Modifying Flights: If you need to change or modify your flight rather than cancel it outright, Spirit Airlines may allow changes for a fee, and any fare difference may apply. The ability to change flights depends on the fare class and ticket type you purchased.

 

  • Travel Insurance: If you purchased travel insurance, check your policy to see if it covers trip cancellations and any associated costs. Travel insurance policies can vary, so review the terms and conditions of your specific policy.

Remember that airline policies can change, so it's essential to check the most up-to-date information directly with Spirit Airlines before making any decisions regarding your flight reservation. Be sure to review the terms and conditions of your ticket to understand the specific cancellation and refund policies that apply to your booking.
