Here's what to do if you had a Spirit Airlines flight at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
Captain Jon Jackson, who was planning to operate his last flight for Spirit on Saturday, was instead forced to fly as a passenger on a return trip operated by Southwest Airlines when Spirit announced it was going out of business after 34 years.
Southwest Airlines honored a Spirit Airlines pilot who missed out on his final retirement flight as his airline shut down. Congratulations, Capt. Jackson.
Customers reacted with shock and said they feel bad for fellow travelers who may be stranded and confused about what to do next.
