​

My wife and I take a long weekend to NOLA every year.

Same route. Same weekend. Screenshots almost a year apart to the day. 114% more money for a stripped-down fare class that didn't exist a year ago. If I didn't have a Southwest credit card, I'd have to add another $70 for a checked bag.

Spirit was the only real competition Southwest had on MCO-MSY. I'd noticed Southwest jacking up rates on routes Spirit was pulling back from at MCO even before the shutdown. Now that Spirit's gone, this is what a route looks like without a discount carrier.

Yes, jet fuel is up, but it doesn't come close to explaining a fare that more than doubled.

Anyone else seeing this on Orlando routes Spirit used to fly?
