Strands #269
“Come fly with me”
🟡🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. This one is potentially problematic for those who aren't residents of the USA.
That said, I managed to muddle through without any clues, partly because the theme - "Come fly with me" - didn't leave much room for ambiguity and I got the spangram of AIRLINES right away.
I'm familiar with a few American airlines, so I was able to make a start, ironically finding SOUTHWEST in the northeast of the grid.
Just below that was DELTA, and because the remaining characters on the right side of the grid were in a single lane, I was able to connect SPIRIT without actually having heard of it.
Moving over to the left of the board, I figured out FRONTIER in the top left, before finding UNITED below it. That left just VIRGIN in the bottom-left corner to complete the puzzle.
