Whew⌠today is one of those days in travel.
Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations, and I know a lot of travelers are trying to figure out what now.
If you or someone you know was affected, I want to help you navigate this calmly and clearly đ
Firstâabout rebooking:
Some airlines are stepping in to assist stranded passengers.
Right now, options may include:
⢠Frontier Airlines (offering limited ârescue faresâ)
⢠Delta Air Lines
⢠American Airlines
⢠United Airlines
⢠Southwest Airlines
These are limited, route-specific, and time-sensitive, so flexibility is key. Checking nearby airports and different times can really help.
Nextâgetting your money back:
Since Spirit has stopped operations:
⢠If you paid with a credit card, contact your card company and request a chargeback for services not rendered
⢠Spirit has set up a claims process through their agent (Epiq)
â Email: [email protected]
â Phone: (855) 952-6606
Keep your receipts and booking confirmationsâyouâll need those.
A gentle reminder for future travel:
Moments like this can feel overwhelming, especially when youâre trying to figure it out on your own.
Having someone in your corner to guide you, pivot quickly, and help you explore options can make all the difference.
If you need help rebooking, exploring options, or just figuring out your next step, Iâm here. No pressureâjust support.
And please share this with anyone who might be affected. Traveling is stressful enough⌠you donât have to navigate it alone.
