Markanddonna Posted December 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2022 We have a one way SW flight in mid January- nonstop to FLL from CMH. While it is likely that SW will have things close to normal by then, we are looking to book a flight on Spirit that same day Jan 18) and change our current SW flight on Jan 18 to the next day(19). The cost of the flights have decreased significantly, therefore the financial motivation to change. We will go on the Spirit flight if it takes off on the 18th and then cancel the SW flight and get the credit for future travel (credits no longer expire.) The scenario again: Current flight SW on Jan 18 Change SW flight to Jan 19 Book Spirit flight on Jan 18 If we take off successful on Spirit, cancel the SW flight on Jan 19 and get the credit. Does anyone see any pitfalls in our logic besides the opinion that Spirit is not the greatest? We prefer SW with the two bag policy, but have lost confidence in them. Also, we are concerned the government is going to start to dictate things to SW and that never goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted December 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I try not to unnecessarily complicate an already complicated life. I am not really sure why you would think Spirit is better than WN. All airlines have problems, and neither of your choices have interline agreements with other airlines. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted December 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Hmmm. Southwest is always only one step away from a meltdown until they fix their computers. I would not fly Spirit or Southwest. Choose an airline that can put you on another airline if you run into problems.
