His flight was delayed delayed delayed and five hours later it was canceled. It's now 1:00am and they kicked him out of the terminal at Atlanta along with 400 others. Spirit Airlines.

Spirit is the worst!!!

I flew up to Seattle once. During the week I was there, the entire airline folded. Didn't find out until I got to the airport to fly home.
copingcabana
We've got Spirit, yes we do, we've got Spirit, now go...shoooe!
Dyslexicbirch
How old is he
ScienceGoneTooFar
From what I've heard Spirit Airlines is one of the worst airlines in the business, so you should have already known this was going to happen
groundfyter
Something tells me this isn't some 9-yr old. I'm sure he can handle it.
lloyd2287
Sorry your flight has been cancelled, enjoy being homeless now...
ashamedson
Hahahahha
citiesindust009
Moral of the story: don't fly Spirit. Not sure why anyone flies with them anymore.
Corona688
Lack of other options.
I8rmnky
At least you didn't pay $30 for a seat. Get a different seat on the same flight. Then get a refund. I hear that is the absolute worst.
DJasperProbincruxtheThird
This happens all the time with Spirit and they don't care that's why you get the ultra low price from them
realmdweller
That's the Spirit.
DeaconJon
I once got a booking confirmation email from Spirit even though I had no flight booked and live across the Atlantic (1)
DeaconJon
I contacted them to warn them that someone had used someone else's email to book their flight I was rewarded with 2 spam emails a day (2)

That's the spirit, have faith in the dude.
PolarChi
Honestly, by the look of him (I zoomed in on the pic), he doesn't looked older than...maybe 15/16 yrs old, if that. @OP, how old is he?
niantic
Read OP's comment history. I went there to find out more abt her son and wow. Just wow.

mritty
You left your son in the care of the cheapest possible service available.
aconsolationprize
These things happen when the only factor in a ticket is the lowest price. YGWYPF.
laskis
They can do that? Here the airline would have to provide hotel and transportation and a seat on the next available flight.
whydomyboneshurt
My cousin was getting married. Her parents were flying in three days before the wedding on spirit cause it was cheap. The flight got (1/2)
whydomyboneshurt
Cancelled last minute and they were offered no refund. They had to drive across the country in three days. They made it with 30 min to spare
sombrerohorsewagon
Dont choose an airline known for canceling flights.
AdongWrecker
I'm sure someone else posted this but that's the spirit!

Seriously this is one of the stupidest things to hit front page since the haunted mine in Australia.
JustHereToFactYouUp
Not a source in sight!
sonicgo
Don't ever fly spirit. Every fgc member trying to go somewhere flying spirit has never had a good time.
ICantThinkOfAU
FGC? Sorry all the things that pop up for it are a bit obscure so I have no idea which one it could be haha

Fighting game community, I'm assuming.
vudak
Also what I assume, especially giving the timing - evo etc.
JoeT85
kicked out of the terminal, not the airport. You're not telling the whole story, just surfing for pity. May you should talk to him 1/
fattytunadouche
Yeah that part is bullshit.
JoeT85
2/ and ask him about if they rebooked him. Shit happens, but no company wants that sort of bad press, they usually fix that sort thing.
Thneitis
You pay for "ultra low fare" get "ultra low service" get what you pay for
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
I paid ultro low fares and got cancelled, got 400 euros, hotel room, coupon for food and a flight the next day.
ProgeriaProstitutes
How is this service at all?
fattytunadouche
This is what you get when you fly an airline that does one flight a day or even a week between places. If they cancel you're fucked.

revdondunne
Why does such crappy service by airlines our seem to affect the US?
fattytunadouche
It's definitely not only in the US, there are shitty low cost carriers all over the world.
MagnetBox
In this particular case it is because it's an ultra-cheap, shitty airline.
AngryRaven
Because american's are brainwashed into believing "you get what you pay for" and constantly accept less and less for more and more.
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
Because airlines like spirit and United are budget as fuck and it's to be expected? Least we're not Malaysia.
barqshasbyte
Because we're whiny babies.
lizthearchitect
Aer Lingus has been pretty crappy so far in my experience.
revdondunne
A tad irrelevant, but do detail?
lizthearchitect
Responding that it's not just American airlines that suck. Aer Lingus cancelled all routes out of Nice and just cancelled our flight.
MininMark
breathesometimes
Former AA employee here. Can confirm.
TripUpStairs
I think being bumped off a flight, and flight being cancelled are different.
kraeftig
Dang woulda been nice to know this like a year ago.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
how do people not know rules like this ? here in Europe it is not % of your flight but 200 - 600 euros for a late flight or cancelled
CraftedLine
Wish we had that here for delayed flights
kraeftig
I mean I was there before the plane was to depart the gate but only barely so they put someone else on my seat. Would this even apply?
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
ahh no, then you where late :) totally your own fault
kraeftig
I mean I still had 5 mins :(
DNJANinSFL
Of course declaring force majeure would instantly negate this, which is more than likely what they did
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
Only if it was like terrible weather that shut down the flight. force majeure can't be used for normal incompetence.
ChlorideCull
Can't declare force majeure unless it was beyond their control (couldn't have been prevented), according to their T&C.
CraftedLine
Oh they'll claim that shit over anything. Including talking on a 9hr delayed flight because people are sleeping.
LoudBirb
Beyond their control... like a pilot strike... which is the problem they've been having and the reason I got stuck in Vegas overnight.
ChlorideCull
Ah, I didn't know. Yeah, then they can do that.
LoudBirb
To be fair, in the case of the 4 flights that got cancelled during my trip, everyone got a hotel and rebooked on other airlines.
TheWorldIsATollFreeToilet
Damn. And I just bought a ticket with Spirit.
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
Have fun paying $3 for little half bottles of water. WITH CASH ONLY. Also, enjoy the ballpark bench seats with cloth on them. Terrible
TheWorldIsATollFreeToilet
Shhhhiiiiiiit
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
Yeah. I've flown on spirit once and won't ever again. I have a bad back and was tremendous pain for a week on a two hour flight. Sorry man
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
Oh also, MAKE SURE you read their baggage policy closely. It's $100 to check one at the gate. I watched an old man almost cry because of it.
ITalkAboutGoats
Whyyyyyyyy? Was southwest not going where you were going?
RepublicofTexa
Ha, yeah I used to fly Spirit because southwest had to have a layover by law out of Dallas. Once that was lifted haven't flew anything else
doctorbees
Southwest never flies where I need them to.
ITalkAboutGoats
Shame.
doctorbees
I know, I like them a lot. They fly to my hometown and where I currently live, but they won't fly between the two. It's BS.
pineapplesaremything
Spirit sucks major dick
noptic
As someone who has served with major Dick since he was still a private I must object to this slander! Dicky is a faithful husband!
clevernametom
I only fly Spirit if its a commuter flight under two hours and I can fit everything in my backpack otherwise its not worth it and it sucks.
derfisher
When you book budget airlines, you get budget service
confessionsofacataholic
That's the spirit

micmic00
at least they don't drag you off the plane
gingen
Yes they do. I had to fly to a specialist surgeon a month ago to take care of some shit and spirit cancelled my flight. I couldn't take 1/4
gingen
the rescheduled one for the next day because it literally didnt fit my schedule for surgery prep or anything. Had to book another flight 2/4
gingen
with delta at 300 bucks. Then the day before I come home I find that because I didn't go to my reschedule flight THEY CHOSE for me... 3/4
gingen
they cancelled my return trip, so I had to pay ANOTHER 200 bucks just to get home on the same god damn flight. $120 total originally... 4/4
gingen
Ended up spending $500 extra because of their fucking shit. I'm so livid. Never flying spirit again. Even travel insurance screwed me.
adumbadam
That's why it's cheap as balls. Gotta weigh how much you want to save money versus how much don't like getting ass raped.
ITalkAboutGoats
It ain't even that much cheaper than southwest. Owned by the same company, one is heaven, one is Satan's ball itch.
mysticarchives
My wife booked spirit because it was the "cheapest". I showed her baggage fees, did the math, booked AA, & cancelled Spirit. Saved $30
mysticarchives
For a regular sized carry on. Not sprits backpack load.
Ghost2414
Same as Frontier and Allegiant. As someone who works at an airport, the low cost carriers treat their customers like scum.
BaselessRumors
Janusha
Is your son 40 or 4. Need more context to this.
wowheylookdotcom
He just turned 18, so on paper he's an adult. But no 18 year old, no 48 year old should be treated like this. Lesson learned.
Janusha
Abandoning a 4 year old at an airport is quite a different matter than abandoning a 18 or 48 year old.
BirdmanSucked
If he's under 18 and he was under their care, you can sue.
wowheylookdotcom
Thanks for commenting, he just turned 18, but if you got 'em, you know that's just a useless number. He was crying and angry.
