Can I transfer a Spirit Airlines ticket to another passenger without cancelling it?

No, it is not permitted to transfer a ticket to another individual on Spirit Airlines. Since tickets cannot be transferred, the passenger’s name cannot be changed once a reservation has been confirmed. But Spirit allows some minor name corrections and legal name changes with proper documentation. But, if you want to give your ticket to someone else because you are unable to travel anymore, your best bet is to:

Get a Reservation Credit if you are able to cancel your reservation.
Purchase a new ticket under the other person’s name using that credit.
