Route Pricing Aftermath of Spirit Shutdown

Went to look at flights from NYC to Columbus later this summer and was shocked by what I found.

Over the past 2–3 years, I've flown this route regularly. Spirit fares were often around $40 one-way, and even upgrading to a Big Front Seat was usually only about $150 total. The legacy carriers typically hovered around $125 for a standard economy ticket.

Now that Spirit is no longer serving the route, it looks like one-way fares on American, Delta, and United are consistently around $264, regardless of the day.

Pretty mind-blowing.

What other routes have you noticed seeing a major price jump on lately?

Late Night Construction at 181st & Broadway

Has anyone else near 181st St and Broadway been getting absolutely worn down by the overnight construction?

There has been jackhammering, stone grinding, paving, and other street construction work going on after 10:00 PM at the corner of 181st and Broadway for nearly the past NINE MONTHS on what feels like a nightly basis.

As the NYC 311 website states: “Commercial, Street, and Highway Construction is allowed on weekdays between 7 AM and 6 PM. However, emergency work necessary for public safety, or work that cannot be performed during normal work hours may occur after hours or on weekends.”

If this overnight noise occurrence had happened one night, or even one week, I think most people could understand it being classified as “emergency work.” But after nine months straight, it’s getting pretty difficult to tolerate.

I sleep next to just one of the dozens of Broadway-facing windows in my building alone, among dozens of other residential buildings facing this same intersection. I genuinely cannot be the only person in this subreddit living nearby and slowly losing it from this on a nightly basis. Does anyone have any idea how much longer this is supposed to go on for?
