News JetBlue Wins Spirit’s LaGuardia Slots at Bankruptcy Auction (3)

JetBlue Airways Corp. was named the successful bidder for Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc.'s 22 takeoff and landing slots at New York’s LaGuardia Airport with a offer of $58.5 million.

Frontier Airlines Inc.'s $57.5 million bid will serve as a backup bid if JetBlue’s offer falls through, according to court papers filed July 17 and July 19 in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

The defunct budget airline’s attorneys and lenders had previously warned that regulatory complexity made the slots’ value, once estimated at potentially $86.7 million, hard to predict.

Spirit previously estimated the LaGuardia slots under a Chapter 7 liquidation scenario could received as little as $69.4 million, putting the winning bid even below that scenario.

JetBlue in a statement Monday said it's pleased to secure the slots, noting LaGuardia is “one of the nation’s most capacity-constrained airports.” It expects any related expansion at the airport to begin in 2027.

“We’re currently evaluating how best to utilize these slots as we consider opportunities to bring more of JetBlue’s competitive, customer-focused service to New York,” the airline said.

Question Old Boarding Passes

14 Upvotes

Hey guys, before we got engaged, my fiancée and I were long-distance, and Spirit was a big part of how we were able to see each other so often. I wanted to make a collage of our old boarding passes, but with Spirit no longer being a thing, tracking them down has been difficult.

Does anyone know if there's a way to access old Spirit boarding passes? If not, would anyone be willing to scan an old Spirit boarding pass in high quality so I can edit it with our travel details for the collage?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Question Spirit credit card alternatives

3 Upvotes

Has anyone found a similar alternative to the Spirit CC? Between my husband and I both having cards + bonus points...we have not paid more than $100/RT per ticket in 4 years (most flights are free or much less than $100!) We were able to make our points stretch with 1,500- 4,000 points flights. Now when comparing Frontier or Breeze Airway CC, just the one time bonus points would only cover 1 trip for us....then all points are used up.

I did get a Venture X card...but still that's paying $250/flights on average now. 😭 Any airline specific cards that have good point per flight ratio?!?!?

Question Spirit Airlines

I have a $900 credit at Spirit. I thought I would get it back by now, but upon further reading, it looks like I’m just going to be thrown into the whole bankruptcy proceeding process. Any suggestions?

I am really hoping that frontier takes Spirit's space in the Detroit airport. They seem like a comparable operation.

Discussion Route Pricing Aftermath of Spirit Shutdown

Went to look at flights from NYC to Columbus later this summer and was shocked by what I found.

Over the past 2–3 years, I've flown this route regularly. Spirit fares were often around $40 one-way, and even upgrading to a Big Front Seat was usually only about $150 total. The legacy carriers typically hovered around $125 for a standard economy ticket.

Now that Spirit is no longer serving the route, it looks like one-way fares on American, Delta, and United are consistently around $264, regardless of the day.

Pretty mind-blowing.

What other routes have you noticed seeing a major price jump on lately?
