Right that’s what I assume happens, I also think that most people don’t want to take it to the next level and hire lawyers, they’d rather move on than have the story drag on
When your father is worth millions of dollars you can afford to hire lawyers for just an "apology".
My question is, why fly spirit if you have money? they got cheap tickets and have to pay for a lawyer now

I would venture to say that Inzelbuch is not charging them. He probably wants to do this for other reasons, and they agreed, being that he represented them in the past.

Spirit offers the best travel times to FL for a Lkwd area family. Many "rich" people fly with them for that reason.

This is an excellent question. It's also an excellent question if you don't have money.

What times do they offer that B6/UA don't?

ACY
Worry less about traffic OTW to the airport, very fast to gate even without GE, walk from parking 30 seconds and it'll cost you less too.
All in all, flying from ACY is much less of a headache and you don't have to give yourself extra time in case something goes wrong.
I'm not who you think I am.

That was my guess as well, knowing him

When I flew Frontier it was for TTN and no other reason.

Really?? Is the family's personal financial situation a thing to be discussed now?

There are certain blanket attitudes on this forum that often don't take into account individuals' needs/desires. This crops up when discussing the value of points/miles, and blanket statements like "there is never a good reason to fly Spirit," which is all good and well until you need to book a flight at a busy time for the whole family and all other airlines are either sold out or charging more than 4 times the price, etc.

Exactly this. ACY is great for families. EWR/JFK is a guaranteed headache, while Spirit flights are not usually bad.

They should've definitely flown private. Starting with a helicopter from their front lawn to the FBO.

Closest bus station (or at least that's what it looks like) to Lakewood with commercial flights.
FTFY

Best thing about it is that you can walk from your car to the airport in 30 seconds, and you can walk through the entire airport in one minute.
