Can I cancel or make a change on a Free Spirit® reward flight ticket?
To change or cancel your Spirit reservation, contact customer service at +1-888-415-1051; have your booking reference ready before calling.
* Spirit allows you to modify or cancel a reward flight that you booked with Free Spirit points. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* Changes may include origin, destination, stop‑over city, flight, or class of service. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* You can make changes or cancel up to one hour before scheduled departure. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])

## 📝 What Happens When You Change or Cancel
* If you change to a different flight or routing, you’ll need to cover any difference in fare (or more points) — just like with paid tickets. ([UpgradedPoints.com][2])
* For cancellations, your points are typically redeposited into your Free Spirit account; there is no cash refund because award tickets have no cash value.
* Taxes, airport fees or any additional charges you paid at booking (if applicable) are handled as per Spirit’s standard award-ticket rules.

## 💲 Fees & Limitations — What to Watch Out For
* According to Spirit’s own documentation, modifications to award itineraries may incur a fee of **US $110 per passenger**.
* You **cannot** change or cancel an award ticket within 24 hours of scheduled departure.
* Also, because award tickets are non‑refundable in cash value, any “value” of the ticket is only in points which get redeposited — you don’t get back a cash refund.

## ✈️ What You Should Do If You Need to Change or Cancel
* **Act early.** If you need a change or cancellation, call Spirit’s designated number for award tickets before departure. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* **Be prepared for a possible fee.** Especially if it's close to departure — a $110 fee per passenger may apply.
* **Expect point redeposit.** On cancellation, your redeemed Free Spirit points should return to your account. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* **Expect paying again if you rebook.** Any new flight booked with points may require additional points or taxes/fees, depending on availability and fare level.

## ✅ Bottom Line
Yes — you *can* cancel or change a Free Spirit reward‑flight ticket with Spirit Airlines. But unlike a refundable cash ticket, award tickets have specific limitations: changes/cancellations must be made before a set cutoff (typically 1 hour pre‑departure), and there may be a standard fee (often $110 per passenger). On cancellation, your points are redeposited — but you won’t receive cash. If you rebook, expect to pay any fare difference in points or applicable taxes/fees.
