The issue persisted, and an hour later, the airline informed flyers to expect “longer than usual lines at the airport” and suggested that travelers arrive early. Shortly before 10 a.m., Spirit posted again, claiming that a network issue affecting the airline’s website, mobile app and some internal applications had been resolved.

Travelers were still encouraged to check flight statuses and to plan accordingly. As of 2:45 p.m., several afternoon and evening Spirit flights leaving LAS were listed as delayed on the Harry Reid website.
