Hey! I actually have some firsthand experience with Spirit’s flight change and cancellation policy, and let me tell you, it taught me a lot about reading the fine print before booking. Last summer, I had a trip planned to Las Vegas with a group of friends, but a few days before we were supposed to leave, one of my friends got sick and we had to shuffle our plans. Since I was the one who booked my flight through Spirit, I had to figure out how to change it without losing too much money.
At first, I was nervous because Spirit has a reputation for being strict with changes and fees, but I found that if you go directly to their website and click on “My Trips,” you can make changes or cancel your flight pretty easily. I ended up paying a small fee to move my flight to a later date, and the process was much smoother than I expected. The key thing I noticed was that if you cancel, you usually get a credit rather than a refund, which can be used for another Spirit flight within a certain time frame.
Now, whenever I book with Spirit, I always double-check the fare type and think about adding their “Flight Flex” option, especially if my plans might change. It’s a small extra cost that can save you a big headache later. Overall, Spirit’s policy isn’t terrible as long as you know what to expect and make your changes online instead of waiting to do it at the airport.
