The rules of the game

The fundamentals

Four things to know about Sun Country price drops before deciding whether to claim one.

The 24-hour window

Book directly with Sun Country more than 7 days before departure and you can cancel without penalty within 24 hours. If the price drops in that window, book the cheaper fare first to lock it in, then cancel the original in Manage My Trip.

Free to cancel 60+ days out

Sun Country prices are not retroactive, so a held ticket never gets cheaper by itself. But when your flight is 60 or more days away, changes and cancellations are free. Cancel into a flight voucher, buy the cheaper fare with it, and the leftover value is yours to spend.

Closer in, a fee applies

Within 59 days of departure, Sun Country charges a change or cancellation fee per direction, per traveler, and shows the amount when you cancel. A drop only pays when it is bigger than that fee. The Flexible Fare add-on waives the fee once, if you bought it when booking.

A voucher with a deadline

What comes back is a Sun Country flight voucher, not cash. It cannot be transferred to someone else, and it expires one year from the date you first booked, so an early booking leaves you less time to use the balance.
