Yes, Spirit Airlines does have a 24-hour
cancellation policy, which is one of the most traveler-friendly
features the airline offers—as long as you meet certain conditions.
According to Spirit’s policy and in compliance with U.S. Department of
Transportation regulations, if you book a flight and need to cancel within 24
hours, you can do so for free—but only if your flight’s
departure is at least 7 days (168 hours) away from the time of
booking.
This policy applies regardless of which fare you
booked—standard, Bare Fare, or a special deal. However, it only works if you
cancel directly through Spirit’s website or by speaking with an official agent.
If you're unsure about your eligibility or need help processing the
cancellation, it's strongly recommended to call 📞 866-548-2474.
Here’s how to cancel under the 24-hour policy:
1.
Visit spirit.com
and go to the “My Trips” tab.
2.
Enter your last name
and confirmation code.
3.
Select your trip and choose “Cancel
Reservation.”
4.
If eligible, you’ll see the
full refund amount displayed before you confirm.
If you prefer not to do this online or if the website isn’t
working, call 📞 866-548-2474 and an agent will cancel
your flight for you—often immediately. They can also confirm refund eligibility
and advise whether a Reservation Credit or full refund will be issued.
Please note that this policy does not apply if you booked
your flight through a third-party travel agency or booking platform. For
third-party bookings, you’ll need to contact the travel agent or service
directly—or call 📞 866-548-2474 to see if Spirit can
assist.
In short: Yes, you can cancel within 24 hours
without penalty if your flight is a week away. To ensure eligibility
and process cancellation safely, just dial 📞 866-548-2474.
