More airlines making changes
Spirit wasn't the only airline to make changes this year.
Delta announced in May it was folding the base fare into its new Delta Main category (previously called Main Cabin) for flights departing Oct. 1 or later, changing Delta Comfort+ to Delta Comfort and First Class to Delta First.
United Airlines started requiring all domestic passengers to be checked in for their flights 45 minutes before departure. Previously, check in for passengers without checked bags closed half an hour before departure.
JetBlue announced the airline was teaming with Florida's passenger rail service Brightline to offer "a seamless air-and-rail booking experience for travel across Central and South Florida" by allowing JetBlue passengers to book both a plane and train trip directly on jetblue.com as part of a combined itinerary.
Southwest announced that the airline's new assigned seating policy will begin Jan. 27, 2026. Earlier this year, Southwest ended its free baggage policy and added a new Basic fare.
