I purchased an inexpensive flight on Spirit Airlines r.t from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa and back to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. So I missed my early morning outbound flight this morning and since they didn't have any other options, I walked over to the other terminal and purchased a one-way on SouthWest airlines to get me to Tampa today.

So I call Spirit just now to make sure that they don't automatically cancel my return reservation back to Fort Lauderdale tomorrow evening and the third world gentlemen on the phone tells me that since I missed my outbound flight that my return is void and I can't use it and that I have to purchase another ticket to get home.

I have traveled a lot on business and pleasure over the years and I have changed, canceled or missed flights many times and only used one leg of a trip and it was never a problem as long as you called to confirm that your reservation was still in the system. These airlines are really hurting and trying to nickel and dime their customers. At least on SouthWest you can come and go any time of day and if you miss a flight, it's no big deal. Fuck Spirit airlines, and be aware they will try to screw you if you make any changes to your itinerary.
