Congrats.  Do a chargeback against  Spiritless Airlines for the rest of your ticket value.     As an executive platinum on AA I am disappointed their ground crew in Cancun is so under educated.

Hey everyone! So sorry for the late reply, it’s been hectic and extremely stressful. After going back and forth with Spirit, we gave up and went to American Airlines, where we encountered the same issue (they never seen the CR1 endorsement) but they called in to Miami and after what seemed like forever, they let us book a flight to Dallas. We boarded the flight, got to Dallas but could not land due to severe storms and were diverted to Houston after sitting on the runway for over an hour. The anxiety was so bad. But we got through customs with no issue. Thank you all SOOOO MUCH for all the help. It is so greatly appreciated and we are so thankful for this community for always getting us through some very difficult times during our visa journey.

Thank you! Definitely calling Spirit Airlines tomorrow. We usually fly AA, but they didn’t have any decent flying times to Cancun. Lesson learned, but I highly doubt we will be traveling again until my husband gets his physical green card.
