Spirit Flight between ORD and OAK
Is Spirit planning to cancel their nonstop flight between ORD (O'Hare in Chicago) to OAK (Oakland, CA)? And, if so, are there any plans to reinstate this route?
I can't seem to be able to find or book flights beyond November 9th for this route. I tried Googling but I haven't been able to find any news articles or announcements.

This news report says that "The routes being cut where Spirit is the only operator are flights from Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago O’Hare to Oakland." So it appears that Spirit is withdrawing the route.
In this case, I suggest the OP look for Southwest flights into Midway (MDW) in lieu of O'Hare.

@AndrewLazarus: Or any of the 4 airlines that fly SFO-ORD. SFO and OAK are closer together than ORD and MDW.

Sure. Once upon a time Southwest was more likely to have Spirit-level fares, but less so today.

Thank you @skifans! And yes, as @Andrew Lazarus suggests, Southwest is not nearly as cheap as they once were. Their prices are nearly twice as high as Spirit's usually (I don't need any bags other than a backpack). The SFO-ORD routes can sometimes be comparable to Spirit prices but it's hard to find those sales. SFO-ORD routes are usually closer to 1.5-2x as expensive as the OAK-ORD Spirit route, so I prefer to take the Spirit route even though SFO is closer to where I need to go. There's also the hack where you can get $10-14 off each segment with Spirit by booking at the airport.
