Spirit Airlines Shutdown: Your Rights And What To Do If Flights Canceled

Spirit Airlines has entered bankruptcy, meaning thousands of flights have been canceled and tens of thousands of passengers no longer have their scheduled travel plans. But what rights do they have?

The budget carrier, which had been operating since 1992, confirmed it has begun an immediate and "orderly wind-down of operations," canceling all flights and advising customers not to head to the airport, meaning travelers from today with booked services will need to make alternative arrangements.
