Did your Spirit flight get Canceled?

There has been lots of news regarding Spirit Airlines in the recent days and week.  Spirit Airlines began cancelling flights last week citing bad weather, technical and labor shortages. Hundreds of travelers were left stranded at the airports.

FlyersRights President, Paul Hudson, was recently interviewed by WKYC regarding the operational melt down and what travelers need to know.  According to Paul Hudson, if the airline cancels your flight, you can demand a full refund.

"They'll say, 'We'll give you a voucher or a credit, or a later flight,' Paul Hudson explained. 'You need to ask for what’s called an involuntary refund.'  

"Involuntary refund," according to Hudson, are the magic words. If you're stranded at the airport, you can also take your ticket to another airline counter and see if they'll honor it. They don’t have to, but some will voluntarily honor the ticket, get you to your destination and back-charge the defaulting airline for the expense.

In addition, you can make a complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation here.
