Same. Had a 6am flight to vegas from kc. Sat around til 11am for them to tell us the plane can’t move. You get for what you paid for but this is unfathomable. Never again but after this I doubt there’s gonna be a spirit airline 🤣
I was at the airport 3 days ago and there was no strike but I was told that, indeed, their staff was abused daily by rude costumers so they are leaving without previous notice. That was what was told to me at the airport. Not sure how real it is. I did saw a lot of angry ppl. Who wouldn’t?
Never again with them. I traveled with them to the Caribbean like 3 years ago and had no incidents but will never travel with them again. This is way too scary to not learn the lesson.
Probably not. If you read the small print when you book a flight, the airlines can do pretty much anything. I have less of a problem with that than the fact that they are private corporations and yet receive so much in the way of taxpayer subsidies, over and over.
Under past administrations, that would be true. I don’t know if the current is capable. Maybe they paid Spirit with our tax money called “relief” and have them right where they want them-a distraction. Sad for these people that tried to save a buck. I can’t believe DC has not spoken out yet.
As a former Flight Attendant of a legacy carrier I say : 1) You get what you pay for. 2) Read the small print on these low end cattle carriers. 3) Stick with a legacy Airline, while they have problems at times , you are better off . 4) Always book and fly First Class if you can. While it’s a disgrace from what it was when I flew , you still get better treatment. 5) Stay away from these flying Walmart carriers…….
All these businesses that got Federal Aid are still raising their prices. Perhaps taking advantage of hard times. I refuse to go out and pay 20 dollars for a burrito or burger. Wait till summer is over, who will shop at these places then ???
@liveyourbestlife 1 that’s the whole point and this is how it started from world and Domestic travel people getting on airplanes. You don’t think the people that traveled on the airplane are not going to shop at the supermarket. That’s how the world got into this shit in the first place. By the time they get to their destination or get home they don’t even realize they’re sick until a few days to a week later.
Spirit has created for itself a public relations nightmare from which there is no way of making things better. Staff at the counter are heroes for getting dressed and preparing themselves for customer service battles where there's nowhere available to turn for relief while being in a pinch.
It seems to me one major event caused these airlines’s issues, and the airlines do not want to disclose what that event was. Any major issues with their computer networks, whether internal or external (hacking) will cause massive cancellations. If this happens, the effect is going to be colossal. Hundreds of planes, thousands of pilots and copilots, and tens of thousands of flight attendants will not be available at their next scheduled airport for their next scheduled flight, disrupting connecting flights, and maintenance schedules. The number of their customer service employees will not be enough to answer their customers questions or resolve their complaints, which in turn will turn this mess into a vicious cycle. Even a well staffed airline could be victim of this misfortune. No airline can afford to have hundreds of “extra” pilots, flight attendants, and customer satisfaction personnel on stand-by for a “just in case”eventuality. Now the question is: What really caused this massive domino effect?
More like that’s what happens when they fly too soon now they stuck hahaha!! Well they have money anyway let them spend more for other cancellations buahahaha I’m jk.
You think people are lining up to work these kinds jobs ? Have some empathy and patience people. Be grateful to those who show up to work and are trying to help you .
It's going to be more than Just spirit that this happens to. Sorry for all of the people stranded. I flew spirit monthly a few years back and never have had issues with them. I quite liked getting the rates it allowed me to commute
Why are people complaining dont they realize things like fuel and food and products just fall out of the sky it's not like these things are produced and made by people working but we dont need to open the economy these things make themselves
I don't live in The U.S.and even I know how bad Spirit is so why would someone in a wheelchair, with a breathing mask e.t.c fly with Spirit and for a bargain basement flight expect extra service that a passenger in a wheelchair would require? Stop being cheap.
I booked to NY in June and luckily the trip went smooth. 1 cancellation, but it was fixed quickly. Glad I missed this surge. American Airlines don't let me down for my next flight 🤞🏽

They are not the only airlines having issues. I was at the airport and at least 3 airlines were having problems but the one that was getting all the heat was Spirit. Apparently customer’s rude behavior is causing employees to flee.

Just bycot spirit and as many people sue them. The workers should go on strike let the ceo work the helpdesk at the airport. I think he wil be killed in an instand
Good airlines flight cancelled. They should know employment is low no one wants to apply yet you decided to travel that’s the passengers problem hahaha. Karma bites you.
That woman that said that employees were going on breaks? She thinks that employees shouldn't get their scheduled breaks????
Sounds like employess went on a permanent break straight to another job.
This is perhaps the beginning of the end of spirit airlines

I hope not bc they have the cheapest prices.

Are you people that clueless … employees protesting against mandates! Are you that brainwashed that you can’t figure this out?
Spirit is the worst airline, why would anyone book a flight with them? We learned our lesson 10 years ago, never again.
The same for delta airlines
Delta is no where near spirits level of trash 💀

@@Frankieefootballmundial Never had a problem on Delta. Never!
You all always seem to ignore the ticket prices. These days everybody wants to fly and many want to fly at basement bottom prices.
Ah yes cares. That money went to pay CEO bonuses without a doubt.
Yeah 💯
Rather drive than deal with this mess.
Yes, Travel is a purchase option at the Neuralink Google Play store. Safe travels without leaving home. Total Recall 2
Might be because their employees went on strike due to getting beat up daily 😨

I was thinking same . Not worth it
They need to change their motto. SPIRIT AIRLINES. We keep the turbalamps on the inside of the plane.
Never again with them. I traveled with them to the Caribbean like 3 years ago and had no incidents but will never travel with them again. This is way too scary to not learn the lesson.
Who trusts Spirit Airlines?
Morons do that’s who
I do
To do what exactly? As long as they don't hit my house, frankly I don't care.
I would ride in a storage container across the Atlantic on a ship before I fly spirit.
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
Now is not the time to travel.
Covid seshpools at our favorite airports thanks to Spirit. I think they and China are in cohorts 🧐🧐😅😅😅 or they are simply just a crappy Airlines
A new motto! SPIRIT AIRLINES: Now is not the time to travel.
Wow, this is so bad. There's going to be a huge investigation after all this debacle
And this might be the end of Spirit.
Probably not. If you read the small print when you book a flight, the airlines can do pretty much anything.

So Let me get this straight, after everything people know bout spirit airlines they still book flights on that airlines 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..
I know right
Right? 😂
You get what you pay for. That's why I don't mind paying more to go delta which is the best airline in the country. I always fly delta
American is a good middle ground
Delta is awesome. ❤️

These people don't watch the news? Spirit airlines been taking passengers soul all week long. Why even go to the airport?
If you're flying on spirit you deserve everything you get..case dismissed.
I’m so relieved the spirit flight I booked last month wasn’t cancelled. Never booking again.
I mean don't pay for the absolutely cheapest ticket on the cheapest airlines then.... Perhaps pay out more if you want more quality
I thought the delta variant was killing everyone?
Wow really you think more people need to die moronic statement

Who is the incompetent CEO?
Get on your knees and beg forgiveness.
That's what happens when you fly Super cheap
More like that’s what happens when they fly too soon now they stuck hahaha!! Well they have money anyway let them spend more for other cancellations buahahaha I’m jk.
Worse airline ever..I learned this years ago and said if they sold a ticket for $1 to Hawaii I would decline. Fool me once.....you know the rest🙂
They ran out of gas
Examination of the money from the government is in order. Where did it go? Penny to penny.
It's like everybody who works for Spirit woke up and said, AM I OUT OF MY FRIGGIN' MIND????
You think people are lining up to work these kinds jobs ? Have some empathy and patience people. Be grateful to those who show up to work and are trying to help you .

That particular airline was low on duct tape for the onslaught of republican travelers with unresolved medical challenges.
Lol. 😂
Lol, you see who flies spirit? Those aint reds! 🤣🎤🤣😂🤣😂
I would not fly budget airlines the reality is staffing is going for the money and a budget airlines is not paying just that simple

Ol Sully Sulenburger would flyem
USA needs to look at the EU or how to regulate airlines
If they spent as much money on the airline ticket as they do on fattening snacks they may have been traveling by now.
I was dead on "the staff was walking out taking their breaks" during the chaos ☠
Getting yelled at all day, I'd take a break too!
I was at the airport a few days ago and they were really stressed out. I saw a few police officers there to help with angry customers.
White kids parents had uncle Phil in there pockets 😂😂😂
At this point, just file for bankruptcy . Theyve cancelled so many flights throughout the week. Not sure if they can rebound from this.
They are not the only airlines having issues. I was at the airport and at least 3 airlines were having problems but the one that was getting all the heat was Spirit. Apparently customer’s rude behavior is causing employees to flee.
Due to Vacc. mandate, pilots were on strike
A Spirit Airlines plane in flight - must be photoshopped cuz that ain't real.
Looks like their spirit is gone. Lmao
Because half of the planes cannot fly due to mechanical failure.
