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, or connect email/calendar import. byAir helps rebuild your itinerary, keep trip details organized, 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.

What did you use the Spirit app for?
I used it for flight status

Track replacement flights from virtually any airline and keep multi-airline trips in one place.
Spirit Recovery Mode
Recover your trip in 3 steps

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.

What byAir users say
Thank you really much for this superb app. All other similar apps are flooded with ads or pay to gain benefits. This is the first one that does beautifully its duty without greed.
Overall best flight tracker app I have used ft. No Ads, Clean UI, Live Activities, Perfectly Optimised.
This is a really good app for aviation fans and frequent flyers. It's nice to be told when you can possibly arrive and be told the gate, carousel, and terminal changes.
Exactly what I wanted. Beautiful UI, great metrics, and the import works. Totally worth the price for Pro.
Finally deleted the Delta, United, and AA apps from my home screen. byAir shows all my flights in one place and the alerts are faster than any airline app I've used.
Flew JetBlue to Iberia to TAP last month. My airline apps were useless for seeing the full picture. byAir had everything in one trip view with all the alerts I needed.
