Spirit, Frontier eliminate fees for passengers who cancel or change their flights

South Florida-based Spirit Airlines and rival discounter Frontier Airlines of Denver have swept away an array of fees for passengers who change or cancel their flights.

The two ultra-low-cost carriers, which came close to merging in 2022, made the moves effective last Friday.

“As we have said, Spirit has been evaluating changes to our product and strategy that will help us better compete, elevate the Guest experience and return to profitability,” the Dania Beach-based company said in a statement.
