Delta offers rescue fares to support travelers following Spirit Airlines suspension of operations

Following Spirit Airlines' suspension of operations, Delta Air Lines is offering reduced rescue fares across all domestic markets where Spirit operated and U.S.-Latin America routes for the next five days. These nonrefundable fares are available on Delta's nonstop flights, one-stop connections through its hubs, and even on nearly full flights to provide maximum availability for displaced travelers.
