Flexible Travel Policies
In May, Spirit Airlines implemented a significant policy change, eliminating fees for ticket modifications made at least one hour before departure. While fare differences may still apply for flight changes, cancellations result in a Spirit credit valid for 12 months.
Upcoming Changes to Fare Classes
This sale coincides with Spirit Airlines’ recent announcement of new fare classes, set to launch on August 16. Following a reported net loss of $192.9 million for Q2 2024, the airline is introducing ticketing bundles that include premium seats, carry-on bags, Wi-Fi, and other extras.
These changes aim to compensate for lost ancillary revenue and enhance the passenger experience within Spirit’s low-cost model. Travelers looking to take advantage of these deals should act quickly to secure their seats before the sale ends tonight.
