Help!!!!

[cruisedis05]

Please someone tell me what I should do. I booked our air after the cruise to leave Orlando, flight time 6:45pm. I just received an email from Spirit air that they are changing our flight to 10:30 AM. What do I do? I know from you guys that no way in you know where will we get to the airport in time for a 10:30 am flight. I'm thinking we can stay some place for the night but we also have to check if we can get off of work that extra day. If we can stay please let me know of some hotels we can stay at. I checked other airlines and it would be cheaper for us (8) to stay the extra night.
Thanks

If memory serves, if an airline changes their itinerary and there is no way you can make this flight anymore, they should give you a 100% refund. Have you talked to spirit yet and told them about this? What did they say?

You may be stuck having to get a refund and book it on another carrier. Good luck!

Have you called them to find out if there is a later flight that day that they can change you to? They shouldn't charge you for your first adjustment after they changed the times on you.

I do not think you could make a 10:30 flight. You never know how quickly the ship will clear customs and you are allowed to leave. Personally we have been able to leave as early as 7:30. BUT if you have DCL transfers this would mess you up. You would have to take a rental vehicle to the airport, and like I said that is only if you can leave very early. It is an hour drive from PC to MCO. To close for my taste.

I would call the airline and see what is up. Explain the situation. I would think they would try to get you on a later flight. Anthing in the afternoon would be better.

Yes I talked to Spirit and they will refund us but when I check other airlines the are lots more money. We have 8 of us going. Other airlines are about $50 more then what we paid for Spirit. So I guess it's right "you get what you paid for".

I called and no later flight. We were on the later flight and they cancelled it.

What options did they offer you? It may be cheaper for you to stay & leave the following day, if you can....
