Spirit Airlines extends flight credit validity, raises checked bag maximum weight

• Spirit Airlines is increasing the weight limit for checked bags to 50 pounds.
• The carrier is also extending the validity of flight credits to 12 months.
• These changes bring Spirit more in line with the rest of the airline industry.

More changes are coming to Spirit Airlines’ policies. 

The carrier announced it was upping the weight limit for checked bags to 50 pounds and extending the validity of flight credits to 12 months. 

"Spirit has changed the game before and we're doing it again with this first round of initiatives that will lead the way to a new era of low-fare, high-value flying," Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Spirit Airlines Matt Klein said in a statement . "These enhancements provide each and every one of our guests unparalleled flexibility and peace of mind, and it's just the beginning of our pursuit to make affordable travel easier and more seamless than ever."

Cruising Altitude: What the new FAA funding legislation says about airplane seat sizes

Prior to Tuesday’s announcement, checked bags were limited to 40 pounds before incurring overweight fees, and flight credits expired after 90 days.

These changes bring Spirit more in line with the rest of the airline industry, as well as its closest competitor, Frontier, which also extended its flight credit validity period last month. Frontier , however, still caps checked bags at 40 pounds.

Spirit Airlines also announced it was eliminating change and cancellation fees on all tickets.

There are several types of travel insurance you'll want to evaluate before choosing the policy that's right for you. A few of the most popular types of travel insurance include:

COVID travel insurance Select insurance plans offer some or a combination of the following COVID-19-related protections: coverage for rapid or PCR testing; accommodations if you're required to quarantine during your trip if you test positive for coronavirus; health care; and trip cancellations due to you or a family member testing positive for COVID-19. Read more about the best COVID-19 travel insurance options .

Cancel for any reason insurance Cancel for any reason travel insurance works exactly how it sounds. This type of travel insurance lets you cancel your trip for any reason you want – even if your reason is that you simply decide you no longer want to go. Cancel for any reason travel insurance is typically an add-on you can purchase to go along with other types of travel insurance. For that reason, you will pay more to have this kind of coverage added to your policy.

Also note that this type of coverage typically only reimburses 50% to 80% of your nonrefundable prepaid travel expenses. You'll want to make sure you know exactly how much reimbursement you could qualify for before you invest in this type of policy. Compare the best cancel for any reason travel insurance options here .

International travel insurance Travel insurance is especially useful when traveling internationally, as it can provide medical coverage for emergencies (in some cases for COVID-19) when you're far from home. Depending which international travel insurance plan you choose, this type of travel insurance can also cover lost or delayed luggage, rental cars, travel interruptions or cancellations, and more.

Cheap travel insurance If you want travel insurance but don't want to spend a lot of money, there are plenty of cheap travel insurance options that will offer at least some protections (and peace of mind). These are typically called a company's basic or standard plan; many travel insurance companies even allow you to customize your coverage, spending as little or as much as you want. Explore your options for the cheapest travel insurance here .

Trip cancellation, interruption and delay insurance Trip cancellation coverage can help you get reimbursement for prepaid travel expenses, such as your airfare and cruise fare, if your trip is ultimately canceled for a covered reason. Trip interruption insurance, on the other hand, kicks in to reimburse you if your trip is derailed after it starts. For instance, if you arrived at your destination and became gravely ill, it would cover the cost if you had to cut your trip short.

Trip delay insurance can help you qualify for reimbursement of any unexpected expenses you incur (think: lodging, transportation and food) in the event your trip is delayed for reasons beyond your control, such as your flight being canceled and rebooked for the next day. You will want to save your receipts to substantiate your claim if you have this coverage.

Lost, damaged, delayed or stolen bags or personal belongings Coverage for lost or stolen bags can come in handy if your checked luggage is lost by your airline or your luggage is delayed so long that you have to buy clothing and toiletries for your trip. This type of coverage can kick in to cover the cost to replace lost or stolen items you brought on your trip. It can also provide coverage for the baggage itself. It's even possible that your travel insurance policy will pay for your flight home if damages are caused to your residence and your belongings while you're away, forcing you to return home immediately.

Travel medical insurance If you find yourself sick or injured while you are on vacation, emergency medical coverage can pay for your medical expenses. With that in mind, however, you will need to find out whether the travel medical insurance you buy is primary or secondary. Where a primary policy can be used right away to cover medical bills incurred while you travel, secondary coverage only provides reimbursement after you have exhausted other medical policies you have.

You will also need to know how the travel medical coverage you purchase deals with any preexisting conditions you have, including whether you will have any coverage for preexisting conditions at all. Read more about the best travel medical insurance plans .

Evacuation insurance Imagine you break your leg while on the side of a mountain in some far-flung land without quality health care. Not only would you need travel medical insurance coverage in that case, but you would also need coverage for the exorbitant expense involved in getting you off the side of a mountain and flying you home where you can receive appropriate medical care.

Evacuation coverage can come in handy if you need it, but you will want to make sure any coverage you buy comes with incredibly high limits. According to Squaremouth, an emergency evacuation can easily cost $25,000 in North America and up to $50,000 in Europe, so the site typically suggests customers buy policies with $50,000 to $100,000 in emergency evacuation coverage.

Cruise insurance Travel delays; missed connections, tours or excursions; and cruise ship disablement (when a ship encounters a mechanical issue and is unable to continue on in the journey) are just a few examples why cruise insurance can be a useful protection if you've booked a cruise vacation. Learn more about the top cruise insurance plans here .

Credit card travel insurance It is not uncommon to find credit cards that include trip cancellation and interruption coverage , trip delay insurance, lost or delayed baggage coverage, travel accident insurance, and more. Cards that offer this coverage include popular options like the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card , the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card and The Platinum Card from American Express . 

Note that owning a credit card with travel insurance protection is not enough for your coverage to count: To take advantage of credit card travel insurance, you must pay for prepaid travel expenses like your airfare, hotel stay or cruise with that specific credit card. Also, note that credit cards with travel insurance have their own list of exclusions to watch out for. Many also require cardholders to pay an annual fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to buy travel insurance is normally within a few weeks of booking your trip since you may qualify for lower pricing if you book early. Keep in mind, some travel insurance providers allow you to purchase plans until the day before you depart.

Many times, you are given the option to purchase travel insurance when you book your airfare, accommodations or vacation package. Travel insurance and travel protection are frequently offered as add-ons for your trip, meaning you can pay for your vacation and some level of travel insurance at the same time.

However, many people choose to wait to buy travel insurance until after their entire vacation is booked and paid for. This helps travelers tally up all the underlying costs associated with a trip, and then choose their travel insurance provider and the level of coverage they want.

Figuring out where to buy travel insurance may be confusing but you can easily research and purchase travel insurance online these days. Some consumers prefer to shop around with a specific provider, such as Allianz or Travelex, but you can also shop and compare policies with a travel insurance platform. Popular options include:

• TravelInsurance.com: TravelInsurance.com offers travel insurance options from more than a dozen vetted insurance providers. Users can read reviews on the various travel insurance providers to find out more about previous travelers' experiences with them. Squaremouth: With Squaremouth, you can enter your trip details and compare more than 90 travel insurance plans from 20-plus providers.
• InsureMyTrip: InsureMyTrip works similarly, letting you shop around and compare plans from more than 20 travel insurance providers in one place. InsureMyTrip also offers several guarantees, including a Best Price Guarantee, a Best Plan Guarantee and a Money-Back Guarantee that promises a full refund if you decide you no longer need the plan you purchased.

When you need to file a travel insurance claim, you should plan on explaining to your provider what happened to your trip and why you think your policy applies. If you planned to go on a Caribbean cruise, but your husband fell gravely ill the night before you were set to depart, you would need to explain that situation to your travel insurance company. Information you should share with your provider includes the details of why you're making a claim, who was involved and the exact circumstances of your loss.

Documentation is important, and your travel insurance provider will ask for proof of what happened. Required documentation for travel insurance typically includes any proof of a delay, receipts, copies of medical bills and more.

Most travel insurance companies let you file a claim using an online form, but some also allow you to file a claim by phone or via fax. Some travel insurance providers, such as Allianz and Travel Insured International, offer their own mobile apps you can use to buy policies and upload information or documents that substantiate your claim. In any case, you will need to provide the company with proof of your claim and the circumstances that caused it.

If your claim is initially denied, you may also need to answer some questions or submit some additional information that can highlight why you do, in fact, qualify.

Whatever you do, be honest and forthcoming with all the information in your claim. Also, be willing to provide more information or answer any questions when asked.

Travel insurance claims typically take four to six weeks to process once you file with your insurance company. However, with various flight delays and cancellations due to things like extreme weather and pilot shortages, more travelers have begun purchasing travel insurance, encountering trip issues and having to submit claims. The higher volume of claims submitted has resulted in slower turnaround times at some insurance companies.

The longer you take to file your travel insurance claim after a loss, the longer you will be waiting for reimbursement. Also note that, with many travel insurance providers, there is a time limit on how long you can submit claims after a trip. For example, with Allianz Travel Insurance and Travelex Insurance Services, you have 90 days from the date of your loss to file a claim.

You may be able to expedite the claim if you provide all the required information upfront, whereas the process could drag on longer than it needs to if you delay filing a claim or the company has to follow up with you to get more information.

Travel insurance is never required, and only you can decide whether or not it's right for you. Check out Is Travel Insurance Worth It? to see some common situations where it does (and doesn't) make sense.

Jets’ Schedule and MetLife Turf Should Have Them Thinking Load Management

Conor orr | jun 7, 2024.

• New York Jets

Here are two (mostly) factual sets of information about the 2024 New York Jets, delivered with as little editorializing as I can possibly muster.

No. 1: The Jets’ 2024 season will feature four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, former Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the year Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson, eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith (seven of those Pro Bowls came in consecutive seasons) and Morgan Moses, who had an eight-year stretch in which he played every single game, at the other tackle spot. Wilson will be aided at wide receiver by a former No. 7 pick, Mike Williams, who has had two 1,000-yard seasons and a 10-touchdown season during his Los Angeles Chargers career. They will have the distinct advantage of facing either rookie quarterbacks, largely unproven quarterbacks or journeyman quarterbacks in four of their first five games. 

No. 2: The 2024 Jets will feature a 40-year-old quarterback, two 33-year-old offensive tackles, one of whom has not played a complete season since ’15, and a 30-year-old No. 2 wide receiver who played in just three games last season. That crew will play on a home field comprised of sometimes snaggy artificial turf, and against a schedule that features back-to-back road trips to start the season (one game against the defending NFC champions), three games in the span of 10 days, a net rest differential six games worse than the year before, the second-highest number of back-to-back road trips in the NFL this season, the most prime-time games of any team the season, the second-most short road weeks and short weeks in general of any team this season, and the ninth-most grueling travel schedule measured by total miles traveled. The slate also includes an international game and, instead of a bye week after that trip, a prime-time matchup against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. 

We can do this with almost anything, of course. I can call the Grand Canyon a geological marvel that has been known to spark beautiful poetry, awe of our planet and the wonders of nature and a love of the outdoors, or I can call it a big old hole in the ground. There are people who enjoy the glass being half full, people who enjoy the glass being half empty and people who like to smash the glass. The Talking Heads were right when they sang , “Facts all come with points of view, facts don’t do what I want them to, facts just twist the truth around, facts are living turned inside out.”

But the deeper we get into the preseason ramp up, the more I cannot stop thinking about the No. 2 description of the upcoming Jets season. I recognize that there are some qualifying statements that need to be made. The Jets drafted a successor to one of those aging offensive tackles in the first round (No. 11 pick Olu Fashanu). Rodgers is very unlikely to re-tear his Achilles and has had only three seasons over a very successful 19-year NFL career that were truncated by injury. When it comes to the artificial turf and grass debate, I give the Jets more of a pass than other franchises because the stadium is often utilized on back-to-back nights in a cold, damp and rainy climate that could potentially render a field unplayable on Monday Night Football for the Giants after a Sunday Jets rainstorm. 

I also barely mentioned the defense, which could end up being as good as the unit Robert Saleh coached in San Francisco when he helped lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl in the 2019 season. There is a chance this team is simply good enough to overcome an injury-plagued offense. Indeed, last season—even without Rodgers, and with a rotating cast of offensive linemen—the Jets defeated the Bills and Philadelphia Eagles. They also very nearly defeated the eventual Super Bowl–winning Kansas City Chiefs. 

All that said, the stage is set for a season that I don’t think we’re truly, properly placing into perspective, and one that I don’t think we adequately understand. If this team is successful, it won’t just be because it has a good quarterback. It won’t just be because of the first set of facts we articulated above. It would be because those facts were supplemented by a masterclass in load management; a top-down, synchronized approach from the head coach to the strength and conditioning staff, to the trainers, the physical therapists, the performance specialists and dieticians to shepherd a roster in which 15 of its potential contributors are 29 or older through a schedule created by television executives that more closely resembles a Saw house than a fair and balanced slate of football games. A masterclass in emotional management. In ego management. In Being a Human Being Under Immense Pressure 101 from a whole slew of coaches and executives who know that they will pay the price if a deep playoff run is not on the table. We’ll call that self-management.

As it pertains to load management in particular, combine what we are saying about the schedule and its lack of built-in rest days with player age and the fact that only five of their 17 games take place on a natural grass surface. The league is split evenly between turf and grass fields, and while studies have not shown a marked increase in injuries specifically related to turf fields, the player preference is obvious and many of them believe that increased wear and injury issues are related to the playing surface. The NFL Players’ Association and its executive director have both asked for a uniform switch to grass surfaces citing player preference.

In that regard, one would imagine that the Jets, who have a natural grass practice field and a synthetic turf field they rarely use outdoors, along with an indoor field with synthetic turf, are going to have to make some kind of calculation based on how often their players touch these specific surfaces and whether they can, in some way, alleviate any perceived dangers on the part of their older stars. The MetLife Stadium field, in particular, has been criticized by players given the number of injuries that have taken place there in recent seasons, including to Aaron Rodgers, Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, Raheem Mostert and Jaelan Phillips. Rodgers, during his time with Green Bay, was vocal about the way the Packers traveled and practiced, and appears unafraid to voice his opinion on load management when he feels his comforts are infringed upon.

Again, all of this mandates careful thought and planning.  

If this team is not successful, it will be exactly because of what we outlined in the second set of facts. This incredible, borderline Sisyphean journey they are about to embark on is dependent largely on the health of older players going through a gantlet of a schedule while playing most of their games on a surface most players despise and personally associate with a higher rate of injury. It begs a question of preparedness. 

I cannot remember a team that was more of a Rorschach test for personal optimism. This could either be a wonderfully constructed roster or a nice paint job on a brakeless death trap of a motor vehicle that was always going to spin out of control. There is no middle ground, and I’m not sure that, through the early and glorious haze that is preseason activities where a roster is whole and the games are still theoretical and imaginary plays in our heads, we’ve truly laid it all out.  

As the song says, “Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us.”

BLM seeks input for San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plan

Media contact.

PRICE, Utah -  Today, the Bureau of Land Management released the preliminary environmental assessment and travel network alternatives for the San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plan in southeastern Utah.

When finalized, the plan will designate nearly 2,200 miles of routes as open, limited, or closed for off-road vehicles on more than 1.1 million acres of public land in Emery County and approximately 44,000 acres of public land in Sevier County.

“This travel management plan aims to address the diverse needs of our communities,” said Acting Green River District Manager Lisa Everett-Stringer . “With robust public involvement, we can ensure responsible and sustainable land use in the San Rafael Swell area.”

Nestled in the heart of Utah, the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area draws visitors with its mesmerizing blend of rugged beauty and outdoor adventure. This expansive and diverse landscape, characterized by towering red rock formations, slot canyons, and expansive desert vistas, serves as a destination for many diverse outdoor enthusiasts.

The public input period will close July 22, 2024. Substantive comments may be submitted through the “Participate Now” option at the BLM National NEPA Register (preferred), emailed to [email protected] , or delivered to the BLM Price Field Office, 125 South 600 West, Price, UT 84501. Additional information, including planning documents and maps with proposed route designations, are available at the BLM National NEPA Register .

The BLM plans to host three public meetings to discuss the travel management area, planning process, proposed alternatives, and how to provide written comments . Meetings are scheduled for:

• June 25 from 6-8 p.m. at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum in Green River, Utah
• June 26 from 6-8 p.m. at the Emery County Public Lands Office in Castle Dale, Utah
• June 27 from 4-5 p.m., via Zoom, registration link .

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
