Aug 19, 2019

If you book a flight, there are plenty of reasons that can come up that lead to you changing your flight. Regardless of the reason, you will rest better knowing you can get a refund from the airline.

Spirit Airlines is like no airline on the planet. It seems like they have instituted policies specifically to get a hold of your money and keep it.

The airline's customer service has a long history of being unhelpful and ineffective. Many customers of the airline have had to drop complaints because they did not receive any help or the help they received was poor at best and the worst was horrendous.

However, they are trying to improve and recent evidence proves that although, it has been mainly stirred by negative complaints and a drop in customer numbers.

To get a refund from Spirit Airlines, you first have to know their cancellation and refund policy.

Spirit refund policy

Spirit does not voluntarily offer any refundable tickets whatsoever. All tickets are non-refundable outside of their 24 hours cancellation policy.

If Spirit Airlines is unable to provide a previously confirmed seat and is unable to offer the customer an alternative route, the airline will refund the customer under special circumstances. If no amount of the reservation has been used, the refund will be equal to the paid amount. If some of the reservation amount has been spent, the refund will be equal to the unused portion.

Spirit Air customers who have been delayed for more than two hours are also eligible for a refund.

Regular tickets and Flex Flight tickets refunds from Spirit Air are offered as credit also called Future Travel Credit. Therefore, you can only use it with Spirit Airlines, and for the passenger for whom the credit was issued.

Refunds made by Spirit Airlines will only be made through the method of payment used to make the original purchase. However, cash refunds will be made via check.
