Guess they will only be here in Spirit now

(Couldn’t resist the dad joke )

probably not missing much because spirit is the very rock bottom of airlines in America it’s like greyhound in the skies apparently with no service and price is only for the basic anything else you’re gonna have to pay so I’m not sure it’s a good airline to save anyhow

Am I mismembering that in the old days people used to have to call in to make confirmations with the airline and hotels a few days ahead of the trip so your reservations don’t get cancelled? Maybe that’s what this online check-in thing is replacing.

How far back are you thinking? I’ve never had to do that (before online checkin, and don’t have to do that now when not checking in online).

Maybe the mid-80s?

yes, to ā€œreconfirmā€ your booking

I recently checked in and then ā€œun checked inā€ because I decided to take the ferry instead and online advice said to cancel my check in so the airline could resell my seat.
