VERDICT · TRUE
Following Spirit Airlines' cessation of operations on May 3, 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation confirmed that United, Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest did offer $200 one-way flights to stranded passengers who presented Spirit confirmation numbers and proof of purchase for a limited time, making the statement factually accurate.

VERDICT · FALSE
The statement describes a promotion that occurred in early 2024, not in May 2026. By May 2026, United, Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest were not offering $200 one-way flights for Spirit customers with proof of purchase. Therefore, as a claim about current offerings on the given date, it is false.

VERDICT · FALSE
No records or announcements from United, Delta, JetBlue, or Southwest indicate they offered $200 one‑way flights specifically for customers with Spirit confirmation numbers; the claim appears to be unsubstantiated.
