Understanding Name Changes
Spirit typically allows minor spelling corrections when it’s clear the same passenger is traveling. Legal name changes may be processed with valid documentation. Tickets cannot be transferred to a different person.
Fees and processing depend on fare rules and where the ticket was issued. If your ticket was issued by an agency or OTA, they must process the correction.
