0:52Now PlayingSpirit airlines says it’s nearly finished refunding travelers — who were booked on its flights — before the airline announced it was ceasing operations over the weekend.
Spirit says the majority of people who bought tickets from the airline with a credit or debit card have already been refunded. Some other airlines are offering discounted “rescue” fares for Spirit customers who were left stranded when the company stopped flying early Saturday morning. Those discounts are temporary, and the details vary by airline.
