Spirit’s “Shortcut Security”

December 2020: The case was dismissed.

November 2019: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Spirit Airlines for allegedly misleadingly advertising a “Shortcut Security” option that the airline claims allows customers who purchase the option to use a separate, faster line to get through security at certain airports when, according to the complaint, the service is “illusory” because most airports do not allow airlines to conduct their own security checks. (Guzman et al v. Spirit Airlines, Inc., Case No. 19-cv-62725, S.D. Fla.)
