+1 (877) 370-5301Refundable vs. Non-Refundable Tickets
Many travelers think they can give their flight ticket to someone else by changing the passenger's name. In most cases, that's not allowed. Here's the difference.
Refundable Fares
Refundable tickets offer more flexibility. Passengers can cancel before departure and may receive a refund according to the fare rules. Eligible refunds are usually returned to the original payment method.
Examples include:
If you cancel a refundable Main Cabin ticket before departure, you may receive a full cash refund.
Non-Refundable Fares
Non-refundable tickets have more restrictions. After the 24-hour cancellation period, passengers usually do not receive a cash refund but may qualify for reservation credit based on Spirit Airlines’ rules.
Examples of what is NOT allowed:
A non-refundable economy ticket may be converted into flight credit instead of a refund.
