I think the best write up about the merger came from the new air travel correspondent at crownheights.info

To be fair, they say the name and link to the website.

Read the tweet, Dan isn't Reuters or AP. It's a clicks game. They ripped off Dan's post so that you read the story on their site. It's sleazy at best, otherwise theft. They didn't even link to his post, and spelled his site wrong.

Agreed. Although they did link his post.

Not originally. Maybe they added it, but I'm not going back to check.

It was always there behind the misspelled name

DW's flight back from FLL delayed. She says gate agents walked away, no-one to talk to. Spirit.com seems to be down, is it a computer issue causing the delays?

Not only Spirit might take you to a different destination.

Time for a global change to the Contract of Carriage that obligates airlines to nothing.

@Dan I may be able to get the contact info of the person who wrote this. You interested in getting involved? Or if there is no video, is it just a waste of time and effort?

Is anyone going to the ticking counter anytime soon and can buy me a flight. Please pm me.

Over my vehement protests, I recently found myself on a spirit flight. I just want to say, as someone who was in desparate need of a drink on the flight, and too appalled to shell out $4 for a water bottle, THANK YOU @Yo ssi this was a lifesaver!

When flying a budget airline (which charges for water), ask them for ice in the beginning of the flight, they commonly don't charge and it's quit refreshing to suck on. (not to mention the satisfaction of seeing your seatmate's face who just bought water for $4!)

Another hack I saw people use (general tsa hack and pretty sure someone here may have mentioned it) freeze a water bottle to get it through security.
