@chewstoexplore: Spirit Airlines is gone. And whether you loved ‘em or hated ‘em, this affects you. 💔 The yellow plane was the first airline that made me believe travel was for me. A kid from New York with $50 and a bookbag. Spirit said buckle up. But here’s what nobody’s talking about 👇🏽 When Spirit left Minneapolis last December, Delta fares to Atlanta and Detroit jumped 50%+ in DAYS. CBS found that on average, fares go up 23% when Spirit exits a route. Atlantic City Airport? Spirit basically WAS that airport for 30 years. Rochester to Fort Lauderdale? Spirit was the ONLY nonstop. Now it’s just gone. Today is a sad day. For 17,000 employees. For everyone in aviation. And for my see-the-world-save-a-dollar community. The door Spirit kicked open just got harder to walk through. Rest easy, big yellow. ✈️💛 Follow ChewsToExplore for how we adjust the travel strategy from here. #seetheworldsaveadollar #spiritairlines #spirit #budgettravel #travelnews
