? 1. Free Spirit (Frequent Flyer) Account Name Updates

If your name has legally changed (e.g., after marriage or divorce), Spirit lets you update your Free Spirit account name by submitting official documents like a marriage license, court order, or divorce decree. Your updated name should match your government-issued ID exactly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

? 2. Name on Flight Reservations

Changing the name on your actual flight reservation is a different process:

• Minor corrections (typos or small fixes) may be permitted through the "My Trips" portal—up to 1 hour before departure.
  
  
• Major name changes (e.g., new traveler) generally aren’t allowed via the website. You’ll need to contact Spirit directly—via phone, chat, or airport agent—and pay any applicable fees based on fare type and timing.
  
  

⏰ 3. Timing Fee Details

• Within 24 hours of booking (for travel 7+ days out): Eligible for full refund if you cancel—use the window to rebook under the correct name too.
• Minor typos online: No fee, but within flight time limits.
  
  
• Major or late changes: Fees may apply based on fare bundle (e.g., Go, Go Saver), and name changes are typically allowed only through customer support.
  
  

? 4. How to Make a Name Change

Online (My Trips):

• Log in to Spirit’s website.
  
  
• If available, select “Change Name” and follow the prompts.
  
  

Customer Support:

• Use chat support or call Spirit to assist with name updates if the website doesn’t allow it.
  
  
• For legal name updates, be prepared to upload documents.
  
  

At the Airport:

• Visit a Service Desk before departure—they may help with last-minute corrections or errors.
  
  

? 5. Group Travel Name Changes

If you're traveling as part of a group (10+ passengers), Spirit lets you correct names for free up to 30 days before departure. After that, a $50 fee per person applies.

? 6. Why It Matters

• Airlines verify full names against government ID at check-in and departure—any mismatch risks denied boarding.
  
  
• Every airline enforces different rules and fees for name changes. Spirit’s policy is fairly typical, but timing and fare class still matter.
  
  

✅ Pro Tips Before You Fly

1. Double-check name accuracy before finalizing your booking.
   
   
2. Use the 24-hour risk-free window immediately if you spot an error.
   
   
3. Save documentation (marriage certificate, court order) when updating a legal name.
   
   
4. Make changes early—don’t wait until the day of departure.

Final Takeaway

Spirit Airlines makes it fairly straightforward to update your name—spotless typos via the website or legal updates with documents. Group travelers get extra flexibility too, with name corrections free up to 30 days before departure. Just be sure to act early, stick to the rules, and ensure your name aligns with ID for smooth travel.
