Is there anyway I can  cancel a priceline ticket without a fee? ,  booked a ticket with spirit,  after reading their cancellation rules I noticed that the 24 hr rule doesn't apply to spirit,  I'm still within 24 hr is there anything I can do?
If you used Priceline to book a Spirit ticket you have Piriceline's   'until midnight of day after booking'  window to cancel through Priceline, fee free.  On your confirmation page click   'cancel tickets'.

This 24 hr window rule doesn't apply if you booked a spirit flight

Just that booking was a huge mistake and that you know its non-refundable,but ask if they could make a one-time exception and if they refuse,just call again

Tell them you got confused between Spirit and Singapore and you realized that no shower on board is a deal breaker.

Because even the supervisor knows that nobody should be flying Spirit.

i need to cancel one of three tickets i got. it’s been a long time (3 months) so i know i won’t get a full refund. when is the best time for me to cancel? i was thinking of doing it like a day before the flight and have a possibility of an empty seat next to me. does it make a difference?
My greatest achievement? I am fluent in FRIENDS quotes

I just cancelled a priceline ticket and noticed a non-refundable $7 fee that I've haven't seen mentioned here.

When I chatted with a representative she said

"Kelly:  Thank you for patiently waiting. I further reviewed your reservation and I can see that a non-refundable per ticket processing fee applied to your reservation. This was also disclosed on your contract page prior to purchase.
Kelly:  This is usually charged to reservations that has two or more than one carrier or airline."

The ticket was RT NYC-TLV on 2 different airlines.  I chose the best timing for me not realizing that 2 carriers had additional fees.

This once happened to me (I think it was by the tickets LHR-JFK-LHR-OSL) after explaining to them on the phone how it's wrong of them, they refunded it.

Next time book 2 airlines as 2 one-ways to avoid fees.

...then I'll be paying the price of 2 OW tickets as opposed to a RT fare...$7 is less than the difference it would cost for RT..

If it's 2 separate airlines on the outbound and return it often allows for OW purchasing at the same price.
