The gate area was incredibly short staffed, with one representative manning 4-5 flights, which caused a 3 hr delay in boarding even though the plane was all ready to leave. Other flights also were delayed because of this. The flight crew was awesome and I feel bad for the only gate worker on call, but Delta needs to hire more employees.

They did a fine job. Can't wait to use Delta in the future.
It was a crowded flight. They did the best they could.
Boarding was great. The flight landed early. It took the crew over an hour and a half to bring out drinks. I paid to upgrade my seat to Comfort+ only to be near a crying/screaming baby who was seldom quiet. Noise-cancelling earbuds didn’t even help. Waste of money to upgrade.
Seats in first class on the E175 recline too far back. I was in 2A, and the man in 1A fully reclined almost the entire flight. It took 6-7 inches of space away from me and made it very difficult to work on my laptop.
Boarding was a sh!t show. JFK BOARDING was awful. The agent called three sections at a time Clogging the area then yelling at people to not block the walk way. How are you going to call delta one , premium select and comfort plus at once and the yell at highest paying passengers. Need to do a lot better and the flight attendants in the galley need to understand that their voices travel. They were talking about others and everyone in the cabin heard them
The main person that was coordinating everything was a short white/light skin Spanish man and he was very rude. It honestly made me feel like it was everyone’s First day at work. His announcements were very not reasonable and they did not make sense. The stewardess on the flight that made the announcements she didn’t even know what she was talking about she sounded inebriated. There were no snacks or drinks on our flight there wasn’t even much turbulence. This flight was not enjoyable nor was it what a Delta flight should be and just this past week I flew with Delta 3 times.
Mario was great. Made a night flight on a small aircraft pleasant and memorable.
Crew were exceptional. Plane was quiet and quite empty, so I had a row to sleep across.
The seat could use more support or cushion. I'm in my 50's and have back issues so the seats are a bit hard for longer flights.
I had back trouble prior to my flight and everyone was great about helping me.
My tv was broken on the flight which is disappointing when you pay for a seat and expect a service
Always delays from Boston to Salt lake but this time was very long. Don’t understand while they board the passengers and then make them sit in the plane
Service for food to our seat was a bit slow. Snack choices were just pretzels or baked chips. My seat cushion was not attached. Other than Barbie, video choice were not very good or current.
After we landed, we were held on the plane for 30 minutes. There was no one at the gate once we landed and we forced to sit on a plan that had already over an hour delayed.
almost 4 hour delay as they over booked and had to wait for 8-10 volunteers to agree to travel next day.
Old plane. No outlets for laptop or phone. Seats worn out. Area around seat dirty.
I loved the flight and the crew. It was comfortable and smooth.
The crew was openly hostile and condescending to the customers. They spent the majority of that time in the rear talking and seemed really agitated when people asked questions. I heard five different people told that the information they requested was in the handout or safety brief.
ticketing issues caused many customers to have to go back to check in after waiting in security, then go through security line again.
Surprisingly easy! I was hesitant to try this, but the cost swayed me. I actually felt like I had less stress than all the taxiing and possible delays that occur with short regional flights where you spend less time in the air than getting to and from the plane..
This flight was delayed multiple times and eventually canceled around 2-3ish. Original take off time was around 10:30am. By 3, there were no other options out of Houston, so stuck in Houston for from 3pm - 11am the next day.
Should have video screens Plane audio was poor and without wired connection hard to understand crew. Should serve more than just cups of water and pretzels on six hour flight. Did not see crew rest of flight. Fix charging sockets to retain charging blocks.
I paid $380 for my one-way ticket from California to Minnesota. The fair did not include online check-in. I received instructions from their app to check in at a kiosk. At the kiosk, the boarding pass would not print until an actual person came to verify that I had a personal item and not a carry-on item, On the plane, the person next to me was drunk and allowed to continue to order alcohol. United is garbage I’d rather fly spirit.
The plane was dirty and the in seat air wasn't blowing as planes usually do.
Generally good but there wasn’t any staff available when my luggage didn’t appear at baggage claim in Fresno. It took about half an hour to locate a staff member to open up the locked room where it was being kept.
Do not like the feeling of being in the basic economy. Everyone should feel good no matter what.
All flights were on time and boarding was issue free
Terrible! The plane was old and you are required to connect your own device to their Wi-Fi rather than have entertainment options in the back of the seat in front of you. The Wi-Fi went out during the flight and there was only one plug for the devices every two seats. Three out of five surrounding my family did not work. The seats and spaces under them were so small I could not fit my backpack, which I’ve always brought on flights and fit before no problem. The crew were unpleasant and patronizing.
Great! The plane was decently sized and comfortable. The staff was nice and there was great in flight entertainment
Not being able to purchase my check in baggage online was a negative.
Comfort of seats, ease of boarding. Food selection could be better
I arrived to the airport 2 hours before my American Airlines flight was scheduled to take off. I have TSA pre-check. The airport was crazy packed when I arrived. After momentarily standing in the pre-check line, the TSA agent said that I am not pre-check. Of course I said that I am because I entered my KTN number on all my traveling sites and programs. I had to get out of line and go back to the AA counter to discover that American Airlines did not add my KTN to my boarding pass. I had to call TSA to find out my number, then have AA enter it onto my boarding pass. The emblem would not load onto my boarding pass. By this time, I decided to use my Clear in order to get through TSA but the line was ridiculous long. By the time I made through TSA, I missed my 11:08am flight and was re-booked for the 5:30pm. This is after the AA employee told me I should have gotten to the airport early. AA use to be a dependable airline not I use them only if I have too.
Horrible people at the gate, they force me to check in my carry on, even thought no one behind me has to do it. I had to get out of the airport in NY to get my bag and go thru security again on my way to Honk Kong. The worst part is the employee threatened me with loosing the flights if don’t comply.
delayed delayed delayed. was supposed to have a 2 hour layover and very nearly missed my connection.
Cut off carry ons, had to check, got on and there was plenty of bin space. Disappointing.
One of the worst flights I have ever taken Delayed over an hour without communication from the crew; very scary Entertainment not working Crew NASTY cabin cold
May never fly American again Delay in take off WITHOUT EXPLANATION Cabin freezing Crew NASTY entertainment did not work entire flight
Despite a bumpy flight the pilot was great. The rest of the crew on the other hand couldn’t care less if a passenger would colapse and die. Horrible service, robot like, lifeless…
No service due to turbulence. No entertainment on this type of aircraft. But nice old comfortable seats.
They didn’t let me get my boarding pass through the app because I have a lap infant. The ticket said to see a gate agent but there was no gate agent available. I was supposed to go to the kiosk. Ended up missing my flight and they said that I never checked in to my flight so there was nothing that could be done. I will never fly spirit again. Not even worth the hassle and poor customer service.
I like strict carry on policy. Quick to board, quick to leave. Less time at gate and get there quicker
comfortable flight. not fond of the idea to pay for every little detail. baggage checkin or carry ons, basic snack, or some sort of basic entertainment/wifi. would be nice to offer these as perks and stop with the penny pinching.
The seats were larger & more roomy than the old planes. the crew was excellent. . overall a very good flight.
We reached alomat 45 mins before but we were not allowed to checkin. I tried check in online 4 or 5 times but was always getting an error. The agents at Boston logan airport were very very rude and unwilling to help inspite of the fact that we were travelling with a small kid. Finally I was unable to checkin my bag and we ended up booking other airlines for Miami. Finally understood that we were unable to check in online coz we had a kid with us and we that when there is a kid, we have to check in at airport.
No water for handwashing and they charged $5 for water. Spirit up-charges for every little thing and the planes themselves are old and nauseating.
4 hour delay and hardly attempt to make it up. I might be stranded in Vegas tonight.
I would not recommend choosing Spirit Airlines, despite their seemingly low fares. Upon booking one’s flight, one must also pay for seating, carry-on bags, checked bags, snacks, Wi-Fi, and beverages, including water. One will also receive multiple solicitations to “bid“ for roomier seating among other obnoxious offers. Our flight was delayed due to weather and traffic, which is not the fault of the airline, but the staff and system were unable to communicate in an accurately and timely way. The gate information was not updated in real time. The gate crew and flight crew instructed us to reach out to customer service for assistance, which we did prior to departure, but Wi-Fi was not available on this flight, so once in the air, we were not able to prepare for any connection issues when we landed. I able to text with customer service prior to departure, but that representative did not have information about connecting flights and gates at other airports. The flight crew was unable to share gate information as we arrived at the connecting location. They did attempt to hold one connection for people traveling to Chicago. (there were 21 on board), but when those people deplaned, the flight they were told had been held for them had not actually been held. We were all herded to a customer service desk with only two individuals to manage it. Most of the crew throughout the day did not seem to have training in how to work with tired and stressed travelers, and they did not use any de-escalation techniques. As a result, there were four screaming matches at the customer service desk we were sitting near during the five hours we waited to make a standby connection. At one point a gate agent and passenger were screaming at one another across the entire gate area. The second flight was also delayed (once again a result of a challenging weather day), but when the crew arrived to inspect the aircraft, there was a fight among crew members that was audible from the gate. At one point a manager ran in and closed the door so we could not hear our “professional“ crew screaming obscenities at one another. We were ultimately herded aboard and reached our destination at 3 AM. While the weather and airport traffic was out of everybody’s hands, the lack of communication and professionalism and the unsafe conditions (passenger and crew tempers were raging) make me believe that Spirit Airlines is not a safe or reasonable choice. Once all the additional fees are added, it is as economical and much more pleasant to fly another airline.
Flying with Spirit is simple- it’s a minimalist airline that gets you from Point A to Point B. I have flown Spirit many times & have never had a problem with it, just don’t expect luxury or convenience. And know that, because the tickets are so affordable, the real charge comes in the bags, food, & extra purchases. The planes are simple, modern, and clean. They function in a way that moves large amounts of people in a more efficient manner, so the seats aren’t the most comfortable but I always bring a pillow and have no problem. I will continue to fly Spirit & would recommend to others
Comfortable experience but the boarding process was not efficient and the delay in departure caused some anxieties for the connecting flight. Flight from FLL to LGA was on time but the legroom for a taller person was a bit uncomfortable
