My experience was okay. The flight did not offer even water without a fee. Also had to pay extra for my carry on, as I was told I had to check my bag, even though it said I had the option to carry on a bag when booking. This costed me an extra $100. Would likely not fly with Spirit again.
The booking was cancelled the next day. Spirit Airlines refunded Kayak cheapflay the full amount, but I was only refunded half. Costumer service is disgusting. Be careful. You can lose your money.
There should be a “Ticketing/Check In” section. A Spirit employee helped us operate the self-serve check-in kiosk, and he was very helpful. However, the ticket agent was another story. She took our (2) checked bags, but when placing them on the conveyor, dropped one of them - it fell over on the conveyor and broke the retractable handle. Two pieces of the handle broke away and landed behind the counter. She knew what had happened, but chose to ignore and moved on to the next person in line.
They are very particular about size of the bag. Mine is small bag and has wheels. Bag wheel edges are bit outside of the measurements bucket. They charged $99 as carryon bagage
The plane flew smoothly and the crew was polite and kind. We loved our flight!
The senior flight attendant was engaging, funny and made everyone feel at ease. She is an asset to your team.
Needs legroom for tall people. Needs to offer a glass of water.
Spirit canceled the flight, sent no notification and then refused to issue a refund. Trash airline, will never fly again.
Boarding was smooth and on time. Flight itself was smooth (aside from some turbulence) and no glitches. On the downside, Spirit's no-frills service was as expected (no food or drink, cramped seating, extra cost for carry-ons, etc.), the announcements were nearly incomprehensible, and the constant niggling offers of upgrades and other services for sale (wifi, sandwiches, etc.) is annoying. Overall, a pleasant and uneventful experience - definitely worth the price.
Not efficient. Missed my connecting flight over improper operation of spirit crew.
