Why does Spirit not have its own page.

Probably because they have only very recently had a FF program and the volume of Spirit questions hasn't justified its own forum yet. Feel free to post Sprint questions here.

Good question. Frontier does, why not Sprit, esp. since they have a brand new program (replaced previous one)?

Frontier has been around in one form or another for a long time. Originally it was a small full service airline. The original Frontier was founded in 1950 and ceased operations 1986. The modern Frontier was founded in 1994 and has gone through a lot of changes most recently being bought by Indago Partners after the cashed out of Spirit. Spirit was founded as Charter 1 in 1990

I brought it to a TalkBoard Vote.

I tried, but my personal efforts failed, soon afterwards, our representative body was dissolved.
I did get the Avianca to pass, but my main project Spirit failed.
There was a great deal of animosity with Spirit, it was due to this bias, that this failed.
For a short time, Spirit did have its own form, then oddly it was taken down.
No reason was ever provided.

When does NK finalize their schedule?

Looking to book STL-LAX on NK on May 27. Currently the flight is blocked for 3 hours 5 minutes (very aggressive considering AA and WN are both around 4 hours) with a departure time of 11:14am. I know this will probably be changed; the question is when?

Just in case you didn't notice ... indeed Spirit has its own page. The senior moderators are in the process of getting all the Spirit threads moved over, but all the most recent and active ones should be here now.

Cool, this is a great addition as NK becomes a much more relevant airline in the US.

A+ on opening the Spirit forum.

This is great news: Spirit will have the second largest amount of flights at MIA, after American!
Who would have thought Spirit would be #2 out of MIA?

In fairness, it’s not a particularly difficult designation to attain.

AA had been #1 with everything else being a tiny fraction for 30+ years. Basically since Eastern was a thing.

I am glad to see this forum has finally come into its own.

I suggested back in 2016 when the Talk Board was disbanded that the best thing they could do to leave a legacy was to create this forum.

Hard to believe that it took this long, and I am not the moderator of this board.

Looking forward to the future of Spirit in the NA/SA market and the discussions that will surround them here on FT.

Hopefully, they'll make a dent on premium fares. They're usually outrageous.
