I booked airfare for my Sept 1st-8th trip last Dec when Spirit was having a sale. A couple of weeks ago, my mom decided she wanted to go with me, so I booked her on the same Spirit flight and prepaid for seats and carry ons, so we could sit together. Now she's decided she does not want to go after all. I know airfare is nonrefundable, but am wondering if since I paid for both tickets (including seat fees) with my credit card, is there anyway I could check us both in at the 24 hour mark, then when I arrive at the airport explain she is not going to be able to fly, but I want to keep her seat as a second seat, so I'll have more room on the flight? The ticket is obviously in her name, but I paid for it with my credit card and would like to have the use of it. I doubt it, but wonder if that's possible?
She lives with me, so the address used for hers is the same as mine.
