byAir vs. Spirit Airlines App
Spirit flights are gone. Your travel plans still need a home.
Spirit Airlines has started winding down operations, and all Spirit flights have been canceled. The Spirit app was useful for booking, check-in, boarding passes, bags, seats, upgrades, flight status, and Free Spirit account details - but it was built around one airline.
byAir is different. Track replacement flights from any airline, import trips from email or calendar, get real-time alerts, store travel documents, and keep your flight history in one place.
byAir cannot refund or rebook a Spirit ticket. But it can help you move forward with the flights you take next.
Coming from the Spirit app?
Add your replacement flight manually, forward your confirmation email, connect Gmail/Outlook or calendar import, or use Quick Scan on a PDF or ticket screenshot. byAir helps rebuild your itinerary and notify you when something changes.

What happened to Spirit Airlines?
Spirit Airlines began winding down operations in May 2026 after failed rescue talks and worsening financial pressure. All flights were canceled, and Spirit says customer service is no longer available. If you had an upcoming Spirit flight, check Spirit's official restructuring information or contact the company you booked through for refund details.
What the app handled
The Spirit app was useful while Spirit flights existed.
The Spirit Airlines app helped customers manage upcoming Spirit trips, check in, access mobile boarding passes, view gate and seat information, add bags, change seats, buy upgrades, receive flight-status notifications, book flights, and manage Free Spirit account details. After the shutdown, travelers need an app that works across airlines, airports, rebooked itineraries, and future trips.

Positioning
Spirit was an airline app. byAir is your travel continuity app.
Airline apps are tied to one airline. Dedicated trackers are tied to your trip. Your next flight may not be on Spirit, and your travel app should not be limited to Spirit either.
Track replacement flights
Add new flights from other airlines and keep status, gates, delays, and aircraft context in one timeline.
Preserve travel history
Old Spirit confirmations in email or calendar can help rebuild your flight history and statistics in byAir.

Easy to add flights and track real-time delays before the airlines report them at the airport. So far it's been great!
Overall, this is an excellent app for tracking flights, especially if you have a complex itinerary involving multiple airlines.
This is the best traveling and tracking app I have ever used. Everything is synchronized in one place, and I don't even have to do anything.
