Does spirit compensate for Cancelled flights

What your rights are when it comes to Spirit Airlines Flight Compensate

There are few things more aggravating than learning that your flight has been delayed — or worse, canceled. A canceled flight may wreak havoc on your travels and entirely derail your plans. You might get detained at the airport and miss out on bookings you've already paid for, such as tours, events, and concerts. You may even miss out on crucial events in your destination, such as a wedding or a business meeting.

However, if your flight was departing from an EU airport, you're in luck. You have the right to seek Spirit Airline's flight reimbursement. Though Spirit Airlines is not a European carrier, its flights departing from an EU airport are protected by EC 261, an air passenger rights statute that protects travellers.

When your flight is qualified, you can get up to €600 in compensation per passenger, according to EC 261. This covers delays of more than three hours as well as cancellations reported fewer than 14 days before departure.

EC 261 is not just limited to Spirit Airline's compensation. The regulation also forces airlines to give their customers free food, drink, and accommodation while they wait.

When are you ineligible to get compensation?

Despite the fact that EC 261 is one of the most extensive air passenger rights rules in the world, not all delayed flights are eligible for flight delay compensation from Spirit Airlines.

As previously stated, only Spirit Airlines flight delays occurring while departing from an EU airport are covered. If your flight originated from a non-EU airport, EC 261 will not cover you.

Another important exemption is if the flight was canceled due to unusual circumstances, which are events over which the airline has no control. Severe weather, medical emergencies, security risks, political instability, and airport worker strikes are all examples of this.

Strikes by airline employees, on the other hand, are not considered unusual circumstances since the airline is held liable for the acts of their employees.
