We used to fly Spirit from Boston to AC on Harrah's nickel.
One trip the flight was cancelled and Spirit (after four hours) announced that they have were bringing buses to shuttle their passengers to AC. That would be about 7 hours? And I know a lot of the passengers were heading to points way beyond AC.
We declined and went home.
Would an airline do that if the flight was cancelled out of LAX?
