Spirit Airlines Complete scam artists and charlatans, book flight at your own risk mirimar Florida

  In other words, I paid for a full flight, cancelled in the appropriate time frame and then did not get a d**n thing

- You apparently don't fly much, or at least not in the last decade or so.  You bought a discounted fare "non-refundable" ticket.  Once you buy the ticket, there is no such thing as the "appropriate timeframe".  Also, unless you specifically ask for a full fare ticket with just about any airline you are going to get the discounted fare with the same restrictions...yes this would have happened with just about any airline you bought a ticket with.

Oh and if you wanted a FULL fare ticket that would have allowed you to get your money back right up to the flight..it would have been around $1000 instead of the $380 you originally paid. 

Now, don't get me wrong I would not fly Spirit even if I was given a free ticket(well perhaps in that case).  The point is that you are complaining about something that is standard and would have happened with just about every airline.  The one exception is with Southwest Airlines...their tickets are still non-refundable but they are really the only airline left that doesn't charge a "change fee" on their discounted fare tickets.
