    A woman was treated to an asphalt sandwich by an Atlanta police officer after prancing onto the tarmac and then trying to outrun the frustrated cop. Excessive force? Perhaps. But trespassing on an airport ramp is a serious offense. Cop Takes Down Runaway Woman As She Sprints Past Spirit Airlines Plane At Atlanta Airport We don’t know quite why or how the woman got onto the ramp, but we can observe several things based on a pair of videos captured by ground staff: * She’s talking to cops, then decides to skip away before breaking into a run * She...

    Keyonne says he left his carry-on bag at the Spirit gate counter on February 19. He was headed back to Los Angeles from his uncle's funeral in New Orleans, that's when he got in a disagreement with the agent over doing a gate check of his large suitcase. “She said that I'd have to reschedule my flight instead of doing a gate check, and I knew that was not true because of my travels with my nonprofit.” He asked for a manager and paid an extra fee to take it on the plane, but he forgot his small carry on...

  • Spirit Airlines Will Give Employees COVID-19 Testing Option, Won’t Mandate Vaccines

    Unlike other airlines which are federal contractors and subject to stricter rules when it comes to their employees’ decisions to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or not, Spirit Airlines will give employees an option to get regular COVID-19 tests—though employees will need to agree to one of the two policies. In an email Friday, CEO Ted christie told staff that if they wanted to avoid the upcoming federal vaccine mandates for larger private companies, that they would need to get their vaccines soon, though testing would be an option when the mandate went into effect. “The federal government has made it...

    Indeed, the shocking footage features the mystery mischief maker walking nonchalantly through the terminal of an unnamed airport while sporting skimpy olive green swimwear and toting a backpack. However, while her itsy bitsy, teenie weenie airport attire may have left little to the imagination, she was still wearing a face mask in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration mandates, the Insta account — one of many posting the peculiar peccadillos of frequent flyers — observed. The Transportation Security announced in August that flyers who break mask mandates can be fined from $250 to $1,500. Meanwhile, when reached by The Post for...

    Shocking new video footage shows a Jewish family with a special needs child being removed from a Spirit airlines flight because their 2-year old daughter wasn’t wearing a mask while eating. Joe Biden must be incredibly proud. “What did I do?” asked the mother. “I told you, if you’re not in compliance, you have to get off,” the flight attendant said sternly. “What did we do?,” the husband asked again. “Non-compliance with the mask,” the attendant replied. “We’re wearing masks!” both parents replied. “She’s not wearing a mask,” said the angry attendant as she pointed to the young girl.

    Yet another story about airlines behaving badly broke on Monday. This time, a family of four got kicked off a flight because the two-year-old toddler was eating. However, unlike all the other grotesque examples of panicked mask fascism, this story has a happy ending: the flight attendant who caused the ruckus was the one who ultimately got kicked off the plane, and the family was allowed back on. As a preliminary matter, the evidence is very strong that little children neither get nor give COVID from or to those around them. And as a factual matter, putting masks on a...

    An incredible scene was captured on video that took place at the back of a commercial airliner. The video involved one obnoxious black woman, a white flight attendant, and several passengers. Unfortunately, you won’t see this video in the mainstream media, because it doesn’t fit their pro-Marxist BLM narrative.

    by Samantha Foster The BLM cult is spreading and having some ugly impacts on our society everywhere. A Black woman who was blocking the aisle of a Spirit Airlines flight with her body and bag, while talking with people in their seats. When asked to move, she then launched into a crazy, racist, Black Supremacist rant against the flight attendant and multiple white passengers, threatening violence against several. Here the attendant, who was trying to prepare for takeoff, and had waited for several minutes for the woman to move, tries to get past her. The Black woman then claims...

    ATLANTIC CITY - Officials say a strange odor caused a Spirit Airlines flight to make an emergency landing over the weekend at Atlantic City International Airport, causing a brief closure of the airport. According to officials, Flight 341 from Atlantic City to Tampa, Florida, returned to the gate Saturday following reports of the unusual odor in the cabin. The airfield was closed for about 15 minutes, and the flight took off a few hours later. No injuries were reported. Officials have not said what caused the smell.

    It was a scare for passengers on Spirit Airlines flight 630 from LAX to Denver, Colorado. About 40 minutes into the flight, the plane was forced to turn around. Some passengers in the front of the cabin said they felt ill. On the ground, firefighters opened the baggage compartment door wearing full protective gear with oxygen tanks. They entered the belly of the plane looking for anything unusual. Only one person was transported to the hospital. In a statement, the company said in part: "The aircraft in question has been taken out of service while our maintenance team inspects it....

    On Saturday, the U.S. Embassy in Haiti warned American citizens, volunteers and missionaries in Haiti to stay in place and hunker down after angry demonstrators attempted to get past a barricade and security guards at a Port-au-Prince hotel. CNN reports that American Airlines, JetBlue and the Spirit Airlines (whose official slogan is: “We’re like a Greyhound bus with wings”) canceled all flights to Haiti following unrest in the country related to rising fuel prices, corruption and widespread poverty. When comparing them side-by-side, the story of the American Revolution ain’t got shit on the history of Haiti. For black people, Haiti...

    A passenger's rant onboard a Spirit Airlines plane is going viral on social media. Passenger Safira Allen had apparently missed an earlier flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas on May 1. Airline officials said Allen ran down the boarding ramp of another Spirit flight to Vegas and took a seat that wasn't ticketed to her. When the gate agent tried to remove her from the flight, Allen refused and instead fired up her cellphone to take her story to Facebook Live. In her video, which has landed millions of views on Facebook, Allen goes on a tirade about the airline's...

    In the past, when we studied the collapse of civilizations, we learned about Barbarian invasions and slave revolts. When our history is written, I suspect it will include peacocks on airplanes and emotional support hamsters. So how did we get here? How are farm animals such as pigs getting into first class to keep their owners soothed and sedate? That's what the Jack Daniels was supposed to do. As we’ll see in a moment, we can blame the unhinged era of Eric Holder at the Justice Department. In case you missed it, Spirit Airlines is getting grief for advising college...

Aldecosea claimed the airline told her it was not a problem to bring her hamster on the flight.

    A negligence lawsuit claiming Spirit Airlines fed alcohol to rowdy female passengers and then failed to defuse a subsequent cabin brawl has crashed and burned. After a 12-day trial that ended Thursday in Los Angeles, a jury decided the carrier was not responsible for the violent March 2016 clash that was caught on video and quickly went viral. The lawsuit, announced in New York last year by three Delaware women and their plaintiff's lawyer Gloria Allred, claimed Spirit's flight attendants had an obligation to act when the problem passengers exhibited aggressive behavior such as blasting music and waving a boom...
