Spirit Airlines Bans TikTok User Who Shares ‘Hack’ for Getting Free Carry-On
Spirit Airlines airline has reportedly banned a TikTok user who altered his digital boarding pass, making it appear as if he had paid to board with a large carry-on bag, without actually doing so. TikTok user RobKAllDay, who identifies himself only as Rob K. on the video-sharing platform, first uploaded a video of his so-called “hack” in September.
In the clip, he can be seen manipulating what appears to be the “carry-on bag” section of his digital boarding pass to read “1” instead of the “0” that was previously printed on his ticket. In the caption, however, Rob K. claims he “didn’t actually” go through with the scheme, despite demonstrating it for his 180,000-plus followers.
Nevertheless, Rob K. later claimed that Spirit sent him a letter confirming that he was banned from flying with the carrier for at least two years. For his alleged infractions, Rob K. had not only been banned from flying with the airline but also banned from entering any of “Spirit’s facilities,” with Spirit promising to call law enforcement if he should try to trespass. The letter also indicated that if Rob K. were to try and buy a Spirit Airlines ticket, it would be canceled and he would not be refunded.
