[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've discussed this. It's fine when everything is on time/not cancelled. Its a disaster when your flight is cancelled because they have no partners.

[b]Isn't that true of every airline? [/b]
I haven't found it worse with Spirit TBH.  Most airlines won't rebook you on a partner.  They just tell you to wait until there is one available.  It's been this way for American, United and Southwest for me. [/quote]

No, the "Big 3" (Delta, United, American) have what are called "Interline Agreements" with each other, whereby in "Irregular Operations" aka IROPS, when flights are cancelled/heavily delayed due to weather or mechanical issues, they will rebook you on one of the others.  Southwest and Spirit have no such agreements, nor do airlines like Frontier.[/quote]

Can you refer me to where it says that the big 3 have an interline agreement and will rebook you on the other airline. Sure hasn’t happened for me on United where I have “status”[/quote]

That's the Delta ones. It's not something they will generally proactively do. You have to push for it, and they will only do it if there is no way to get you to your destination on their airline/partners.

Yeah. They generally make me wait for the next one available on their airline. This isn’t a reason to use them (for me). [/quote]
