"Spirit Airlines, once the seventh-largest airline in the U.S., ceased operations on May 2, leaving thousands of passengers stranded and uncertain about their unused tickets and refunds."
"Passengers who paid with credit or debit cards will receive refunds for their tickets and any pre-paid fees, while those who booked through travel agents must contact them for assistance."
"Membership points in the Free Spirit program will become claims in bankruptcy court, and it is uncommon for members to receive compensation for unused points."
Spirit Airlines shut down on May 2 after 34 years, affecting thousands of passengers. The airline, which was the seventh-largest in the U.S., operated on an ultra-low-cost model. Passengers with credit or debit card purchases will receive refunds, while those who booked through travel agents must seek assistance from them. Membership points and travel credits are subject to bankruptcy court decisions, and refunds may take time to process. Spirit has already initiated refunds, but no staff is available for rebooking assistance.
