I’ll be sad to see if Spirit goes. It often had significantly cheaper flights - especially if you didn’t need luggage or care about seat selection. It was great for solo travelers. As the low cost carriers fold, the majors continue to jack rates. This is not good for consumers.

Maybe they aren't prominent in the eastern part of the US, but we have Allegiant Air which is basically the same thing.

They used to have a lot more east coast flights. They scaled way back the last couple of years. Their seats were very uncomfortable once you got beyond 3 hours. But they were pretty good for short hops - like SoCal to Vegas.
