By Sabrina Valle NEW YORK, May 3 (Reuters) - Spirit Airlines said on Sunday it had almost completed refunding passengers and returning its crew to their home bases following its decision to cease operations over the weekend. Most customers who booked with credit or debit cards were refunded by Saturday evening, with a small percentage still being processed, the company said. A final group of about 1,500 crew members was rebased over the weekend. Other airlines have offered discounted rescue fares for stranded passengers.
