Can I Get My Money Back from Spirit Airlines if I Cancel My Flight?

Spirit Airlines has a strict refund policy, especially if you need to cancel your flight. Unless you cancel within 24 hours of booking and your flight is at least seven days away, Spirit will not issue a cash refund. Instead, you’ll receive a travel credit for future use. These credits come with an expiration date, so it’s important to track them if you plan on rebooking.

Spirit also charges cancellation fees, which are deducted from the amount of credit you receive. To avoid losing too much money, consider purchasing Spirit’s "Flight Flex" add-on, which allows one free change to your itinerary without penalty. Another option is to invest in travel insurance, which can provide coverage for cancellations under specific circumstances.
