Look, everyone and their brother has problems. It's unfortunate this individual has received bad news (the same news we're all going to get some day); but I agree with Spirit and their policy. Want to ensure you can change your travel??? Buy a refundable ticket or purchase travel insurance....that is, unless you're too cheap to do so. If that's the case, well....guess you get what you deserve.
+1. Airlines sell refundable tickets. Buy one, or choose an airline that offers that option if NK won't. There are many products one can buy and not be entitled to a refund should circumstances go bad in their lives. Feel bad for the guy, but IMO NK is totally correct.
