Passenger Change Details

The airline offers two types of tickets: non-refundable and refundable. If you cannot make your flight, call the Spirit Airlines reservation centre as soon as possible prior to your flight's scheduled departure time. By doing so, you avoid the risk of forfeiting the value of your reservation. Changes or cancellations may be made up to three hours prior to departure for $40 (£20) per customer, plus any difference in airfare for the alternate requested dates(s) or flight(s). Changes are not permitted within three hours of scheduled departure.
