This sucks. I need their clientele to stay their clientele and not start using the carriers I take for work trips…..

Just like malls. They will kill off everything.

People may celebrate this but that means more Spirit customers on regular airlines.

It’s crazy how pretty much every video of airports, cruises, bus stops are usually always black folks getting in fights are causing problems.

Marketing stunt so they can seem more relatable to their clientele

I like Spirit. Cheap direct to Vegas and Cancun.
I don't need luggage so it's perfect.

The problem with Spirit has never been the service they provide, its the fellow customers you're forced to travel with.

Walmart has a similar problem

No, they will drive or take the bus or train. It’s an affordability issue.

I used Spirit to catch a Cubs game. $44 RT from Dallas. Airfare, game ticket and one night in a hotel cost < $300, plus cheap meals since I was alone. I need more of that.

Carnival Cruise lines should buy it. It would make a nice addition to their portfolio!

Carnival used to have their own airline back in the day.

Sucks, I’ve taken more than one quick one / two day trips places with no luggage with them. Planes and service were always perfectly fine.

I haven’t used Spirit but it’s nice to have options. Sorry to see a low cost carrier go out of business.
