Spirit Airlines Cancellation
Policy
Spirit Airlines offers a straightforward
cancellation policy designed to cater to
budget-conscious travelers. Below is an
overview of their policies and key details
to help you manage your travel plans
effectively.
1. 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation
●
Passengers can cancel their booking within 24 hours of purchase without incurring
cancellation fees, provided the flight was booked at least 7 days (168 hours) before
departure.
● Refunds are issued to the original payment method.
2. Standard Cancellation Policy
●
●
After the 24-hour window, cancellations are subject to a
cancellation fee, which varies depending on when the
cancellation is made:
○ 60+ days before departure: No cancellation fee.
○ 7–59 days before departure: $69 fee.
○ 0–6 days before departure: $99 fee.
The remaining balance is issued as a Future Travel Credit,
valid for booking travel within 12 months.
3. Refund Eligibility
●
Spirit Airlines typically issues non-refundable tickets, meaning cash refunds are rarely granted unless:
○ The airline cancels the flight.
○ Passengers meet specific criteria (e.g., military orders or bereavement cases).

Cancellations can be made through:
● Spirit’s website: Log in to your account and select "My Trips."
● Spirit’s mobile app: Manage bookings under "Reservations."
