Spirit Airlines flight changes and cancellations (for bookings from Feb 5, 2025 onward):


“Go” fares incur change fees ($0–$99 depending on timing) and a $99 cancellation fee (unless within 24‑hour grace period). “Go Savvy/Comfy/Big” fares include free changes and cancellations. Optional CFAR adds 80% refundable credit if canceled 24 hours before departure.

Spirit’s ultra‑low‑cost “Go” fare reinstates change/cancellation fees for tickets bought on or after February 5, 2025. Changes within 60 days of travel cost $59–$99; cancellations cost $99 (plus tax/fees). No fees apply for Go Big, Go Savvy, or Go Comfy fares. A full refund’s still available within 24 hours of booking.

I had to cancel a Spirit flight to Vegas earlier this year, and their policy was pretty straightforward. If you cancel within 24 hours of booking (and at least a week before travel), you get a full refund. Outside that window, they usually give you a credit minus a fee. In my case, I needed to move my flight instead of canceling, so I called (844) 734-0813. They explained the change fees, helped me switch to a later date, and applied my payment toward the new ticket. Honestly, it was way smoother than trying to handle it online. So the policy allows changes or cancellations, but the faster you act, the better — and calling that number was the quickest way to get it done.
