YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTransportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the airlines United, Delta and Southwest will cap their ticket prices for Spirit customers seeking to rebook their cancelled flights. Travelers must provide their Spirit flight confirmation number and proof of payment.
Most airlines will extend travel pass benefits and spare jump seats for Spirit employees returning home, as well as offer “preferential employment interviews to ensure they jump the queue.”
Spirit will automatically process refunds to travelers who paid with a credit or debit card. Travelers are advised to request a “chargeback” from their card issuer for services not rendered, or check their travel insurance provider to see if their policy covers insolvency or service cessation. Lastly, travelers can file a formal “proof of claim” with a bankruptcy court to receive a partial refund.
