Travelers around the country with tickets for Spirit Airlines flights are reportedly dealing with a lot of delays and cancellations right now. And many passengers say those hiccups aren’t only due to bad weather, but a possible pilot strike.
Several passengers have contacted Consumerist sharing their story of being stranded at airports, sometimes for several days this week, after the airline canceled or repeatedly delayed their flights.
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Spirit blamed the travel issues on weather. She did not provide comment on the possibility of a strike.
“The bad weather over the past few days has adversely affected us,” she tells Consumerist. “Basically we have had to cancel many flights because of the bad weather.”
While it’s true that certain areas of the U.S. are being drenched by Tropical Storm Bill, many stranded travelers say the bad weather is nowhere to be found at their location.
One person who reached out to Consumerist on Twitter says for the past two days the airline canceled all flights out of Myrtle Beach, SC, to New York’s LaGuardia Airport, citing what she called “non-existent bad weather.”
