Spirit travelers scramble to book new flights and secure refunds
On early Saturday morning, Spirit announced it was permanently closed, meaning if you had a return flight booked, you were left scrambling to find a new way home. For those who had booked a flight in the near future, passengers were told by the airline not to go to the airport, as no one was working there to help them. Instead, they were told they were eligible for a refund through a reserve fund the airline set up.
