Spirit Airlines has shut down operations—and if you have a flight booked, are stuck somewhere, or are trying to get your money back, this is what you need to know.
In this video, I break down what happened with Spirit Airlines, why they went bankrupt, and most importantly what YOU should do right now if your flight has been canceled.
We cover:
What to do if you have a future Spirit flight
How to get refunds (and when to file a chargeback)
What stranded travelers should do immediately
Rescue fares from other airlines like United, Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest
What happens to your points, vouchers, and baggage fees
And what Spirit shutting down means for future flight prices and competition
If you are currently dealing with this situation, the key thing is: don’t wait—get yourself home first, then deal with refunds after.
Even if you never flew Spirit Airlines, their shutdown will impact travel prices, routes, and availability going forward.
Safe travels, and I hope this helps you navigate a really frustrating situation.
