Post Spirit Survival Kit
The bright yellow planes are grounded. Your money doesn't have to be.
On May 2, 2026, Spirit Airlines shut down. Every flight canceled. Customer service gone. No rebooking help. Just you, a useless confirmation number, and a trip that's suddenly in pieces.
If that's where you are right now — this guide was written for you.
What you get:
The Post-Spirit Travel Survival Kit is a step-by-step recovery playbook that walks you through exactly what to do, in exactly the right order, to get your money back and get back in the air.
✈ How to request your refund — and what to do when it stalls ✈ The three-word phrase that unlocks your chargeback rights under federal law ✈ Rescue fares from JetBlue, Southwest, Frontier, United, Delta, and American — with deadlines, prices, and how to book each one ✈ What to do if you paid with a voucher or points (and why this requires a different strategy) ✈ How to file a formal Proof of Claim through the bankruptcy court if you're owed a significant amount ✈ The two words to look for in your travel insurance policy that could reimburse your entire replacement flight
Who this is for:
Any traveler who had a Spirit flight on or after May 2, 2026 — and wants their money back without having to figure out the legal fine print alone.
Why listen to me?
I'm Kim Kirkley, JD, MSW — a retired attorney, travel rights strategist, and the founder of SeniorSavvyTravel.com. I've spent years helping travelers 60+ understand the rights they already have but don't know how to use. This guide is that knowledge, organized for a crisis that is happening right now.
The rescue fare windows are closing.
JetBlue and Southwest deadlines expire within days. Every hour you wait is a fare that disappears. This guide costs less than a airport coffee and could help you recover hundreds.
