As JetBlue prepares to begin its takeover of Spirit Airlines in a $3.8 billion deal, many are left wondering what the future holds for both airlines and their loyal customers.

In this Jan. 23, 2020, file photo, a JetBlue Airways Embraer ERJ-190AR commercial aircraft is seen on final approach landing at JFK John F Kennedy International Airport in New York.

Keyes said Spirit is an “anchor” in the airfare market and its low fares tend to drive down ticket prices offered by mainline carriers. In this Dec. 12, 2018, file photo, a Spirit Airlines plane is parked on the tarmac at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Texas.While experts say the Spirit shareholder vote should pass, JetBlue is expected to face regulatory hurdles.

An airline I would never fly.

What a horrible idea. Spirit is the equivalent of ValuJet if anybody remembers

JetBlue: the Wings of Demos.

JetRed, since Demos are bankrupt.

What happened to JetBlue?

I have already sold my Spirit Airlines. I have no time for slow moving stocks. This sh*t refused to go up to $30. It’ll go down to $16.00. FTC and DOJ have the last word. Good luck!

The beginning of the end for JetBlue

What it called Bluespirit lol

Headline should read: “Garbage airline buys another garbage airline.”

Sure it will be delayed for some reason.

Airplanes have long been a dream of children. Thank you, 37. Amen

Nobody wants to fly spirit

I think this is worded wrong. JetBlue is doing the takeover.

It is not a good deal for consumers. Reduces competition, routes and capacity.

Bigger, not necessarily better.

Too many mergers, too many super corporations! It's not capitalism!

High prices
