Looking for the absolute lowest fares to party in Miami, hit the slots in Las Vegas, soak up the sun in Cancún, Punta Cana, Montego Bay, or visit family in Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, or any of Spirit’s 90+ nonstop destinations across the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean? Spirit Airlines – the original “Bare Fare™” pioneer – continues to dominate the ultra-low-cost category in 2026 with jaw-dropping base prices that can be as low as $29–$49 one-way on many routes. Spirit knows that when you save that much upfront, you still want clear, predictable rules if plans change. Whether a bachelor party gets moved, a work conference is rescheduled, a hurricane watch pops up, or you simply find an even crazier deal, Spirit’s 2026 cancellation and change policy is 100% transparent, fully online, and gives you multiple ways to keep your money working for you. Need someone to cancel for you right now, combine credits, add Flight Flex after booking, or explain exactly how much you’ll get back? Our 24/7 expert team is standing by, any day, any time.
