Passenger change details

Spirit Airlines offers two types of fares: non-refundable and refundable. If you cannot make your flight, call the Spirit Airlines reservation center 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 $100 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.

No name changes may be made.

Child fares

Spirit permits infants (under the age of two) to fly free on the lap of an adult. If you are booking flights online and wish to carry an infant or child on your lap, you will need to call Spirit Airlines reservations. Children between the ages of two and 11 are charged the full adult fare.

Senior fares

None.

Pets

Small pets may be carried in the cabin only for a fee of $100 each-way.
