Spirit Airlines policy at a glance
- Flight changes: Spirit dropped standard change fees in 2024. Higher fare bundles change free; the lowest fares may carry route-dependent charges close to departure.
- Cancellations: Cancellation follows the same structure — free on premium bundles, possible charges on the lowest fares depending on route and timing.
- Basic / lowest fares: Spirit's lowest fares may still incur change/cancel charges that vary by route and how close to departure you modify.
- 24-hour rule: All Spirit Airlines tickets booked 7+ days before departure can be canceled within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund (U.S. DOT rule).
