southwest flies to midway-Chicago and spirit flies to Chicago ohare...big difference there and ORD has way more traffic, and with the weather Chicago has had the last 3 days....there you go.
Spirit offered you a flight on the next available flight. with spirit being on their own and a low cost carrier, they cant put you on a partner flight (they don't have any).
I live in Chicago. it snowed from early 2/26-2/27. our roads were snow covered and icy. what should have been a 20 minute drive took me almost an hour. we had white out conditions and 40 mph winds.
Airlines don't always have a say in what flights cancel...atc also does this. they will only allow so many planes take off and land.
I avoid spirit for many reasons..customer service being one, and the fact they cant put you on another airline if something happens. Bottome line...don't fly them
I don't know what day you were trying to fly into Chicago, but I do know that 200+ flights were cancelled on the 25th, more on the 26th and 27th.
