Find Cheap Flights from Boston to Illinois

Pros: Reasonable fares friendly staff

Cons: Try to charge my daughter an outrageous amount to check in her luggage, ended up having to leave her luggage and have it shipped. Claim a pocket book is a carry on. No other airline does this. We save on the flight but then ends up the same or more with baggage.

Pros: Flight departed on schedule and arrived before scheduled. Attendants were courteous and helpful.

Cons: Very cramped seating. Was OK for short flight, but would be very uncomfortable for longer flights. $3.00 for a drink of water!

Pros: Arrived early

Cons: Plane was dirty

Pros: Plane was clean and new looking, seating comfortable, storage good.

Cons: Long check-in line, clerk didn't seem to understand the software. Boarding lounges crowded and shabby. Website confusing and too "cute."

Cons: Try to be on time!

Pros: On time,

Cons: WiFi didn't work.

Cons: Avoid a 3 hour delay.

Pros: The flight crew was pleasant and the flight was smooth and on-time (both departure and landing).

Cons: The seats are *tiny* and cramped. The aisle is so narrow that you can't roll a standard sized rolling carry-on suitcase because you're constantly catching on the seats. The 'entertainment' is the old-style 'everyone watches the same thing on tiny monitors' as opposed to seatback monitors.

Pros: good snacks and this route (DCA-BOS) has the 2x2 seat configuration so no middle seats.

Cons: I took this flight last week and this week and both weeks the flight were delayed a minimum of 1.5 hours

Cons: 2 hr delay. Poor ventilation

Pros: Great service and smooth flight. On time, all good things.

Cons: An individual who was very overweight sat next to me and took up half of my seat as well. I understand we all deserv to ride comfortably and my intent is not to shame them. That said, if someone can’t put the armrest down I think the airline should require them to purchase both seats as it’s very uncomfortable to be in the position of having no seat for the entire ride. I’m an average sized person so it was a challenge but even tiny people deserve the full seat they purchased. There really should be a rule or something.

Pros: Everything was great!

Cons: Delays, had to stay overnight in Chicago since we arrived 6 hours late

Cons: Bereavement switched flights for me thanks

Cons: Flight was delayed 3 times, I was rebooked on another flight, lost my upgraded economy plus seat and was squished in the windrow seat beside a larger man. I was traveling with my infant son which made everything a lot more stressfull! Then missed my connection in Chicago

Pros: Refund was prompt

Cons: Flight was canceled

Pros: Seat was great, complimentary snacks and alcoholic beverage

Cons: More leg room.

Cons: Add A Display Board For When Cabin Sections Are Boarding

Cons: More leg room and seat width. I don’t like having other passengers pressed against me.

Pros: Very attentive and professional crew.

Cons: The cabin was EXTREMELY cold!

Pros: Crew did an excellent job serving us.

Cons: had a delay on the return flight, minor setback but overall good.

Cons: Flight could have left on time. And the terminal I landed at at was a 30 minute walk from baggage claim.

Pros: Crew was humorous & awesome!

Cons: Free the wifi!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: My return flight is cancelled and I realized that exactly at the time of getting boarding pass and it cause me 12 hours delay to teach my destination as I looked for alternative flight from another airlines ....All in all it's an awful service and awful trip simply I choose Spririt airlines.Charging luggage fee is another worst thing that I realized!!

Cons: I just don't like to fly in general....

Pros: One front desk attendant tried to be helpful

Cons: I was unable to board because my boarding pass wasn’t showing up while checking in online beforehand. Trying to explain this was useless. And I was told it was too late. Although in reality there was plenty of time. I spent the rest of my time talking to a different person whos solution was for me to take a bus to NYC from Boston and catch a flight 8 hours later; at least she tried. If they had just printed a boarding pass initially, I would have already been through security with time to spare. I just flew with United instead. I will never fly with Spirit again if I can avoid it. It’s the absolute worst. Satan must be on their board of directors.

Pros: Cheap fare

Cons: Idiots cancelled the flight.

Cons: The lack of comfort,the idea of paying for food,I thought it was extremely tacky to promote a card on flight.

Pros: Crew was great.

Cons: We had a mechanical issue which delayed the flight by 30-45 minutes. That wasn't so bad but the whole strategy that Spirit employs is sketchy. We booked our flight through Kayak at a set price and then when we checked in with Spirit online there were no seats available that we didn't have to pay an upgrade fee. To me that is fals marketing or even bait and switch. Won't be flying with them again.

Cons: most uncomfortable seats EVER. No place to sit waiting to board. Will never fly Spirit again.

Cons: Flight was delayed. No attendants around to announce what was occurring. Passengers standing around asking questions but no one at kiosk. Monitor said flight was on time but clearly was not.

Pros: Crew was amazing, they made sure we were comfortable and would ask if there was anything we needed.

Cons: Nothing we had the best flight staff one could ask for, very attentive. Would definitely fly with them again.

Pros: Flight was on time

Cons: There was water dripping from the vents. When I tried to inform the flight attendant, she shut me down so fast I couldn't believe it. All she had to do was reassure me that it wasn't a safety issue. Her attitude was like she was tired of telling passengers that it was perfectly normal. Very unprofessional!

Pros: On board crew was great!

Cons: Be on time! Flight was initially delayed 2 hours, supposedly for weather, but other airlines were flying to same location with no problems. Delay caused me to be rescheduled on 3 hour later flight. When I landed, initial connecting flight was boarding so was able to run to gate and get on anyway.

Cons: I was supposed to be there right now, but I'm still waiting in Chicago for my connecting flight to Dayton that was delayed.

Pros: good snacks and this route (DCA-BOS) has the 2x2 seat configuration so no middle seats.

Cons: I took this flight last week and this week and both weeks the flight were delayed a minimum of 1.5 hours

Cons: There was a 1 hour delay

Cons: Overhead space limited

Pros: Solid crew, comfortable flight, free tv and Wi-Fi

Cons: A few factors led to a 6 hour delay. Not necessarily Jet Blue's fault but it was certainly a frustrating day of travel

Cons: Delayed two hours without any notice, and changes $50+ for a carry on.

Cons: Flight was delayed lost an hour, which threw off my connecting plans.

Pros: delivered as expected

Cons: drink cart earlier and more often

Pros: Flight was on time

Cons: There was water dripping from the vents. When I tried to inform the flight attendant, she shut me down so fast I couldn't believe it. All she had to do was reassure me that it wasn't a safety issue. Her attitude was like she was tired of telling passengers that it was perfectly normal. Very unprofessional!

Pros: The seat and entertainment were good!

Cons: The female flight attendant in business had a serious attitude problem! She made us feel that she was doing us a favor! My wife never received her coffee or her silverware. I had to ask the male flight attendant who was very courteous.

Pros: American airlines bad service

Cons: Better Customers service

Cons: Our plane was constantly moved around prior to boarding and it was 2 hours late.

Cons: I had to fly to San Francisco bcs maintenance and delays bullshit

Cons: Crew stop carry on bags when there was still lots of roon

Pros: United doesn't care about customers, It was nothing to like about this flight over four hours late, the flight went to it's destination and came back, seems like every other United flight was canceled, Dora huge line about 2 to 3 hours long to get you an agent, there were no hotels available, slept in the airport

Cons: Flight over four hours late, had to sleep in the airport on the chairs, because there was no hotels left, United didn't offer anything, I'm really displeased with them

Pros: Having a tv

Cons: Sound jack not working properly , older plane no amenities

Pros: Extra leg room, comfortable, leather seats, cleanliness of the cabin, efficiency and friendly manner of the staff, assigned seating and enough room in the gate area to be comfortable. I also appreciated being able to hear and understand all announcements made in the gate area and on board by the support staff and the captain.

Cons: Some passengers in the gate area were "seat hogs" sitting in one seat and taking up one to two extra seats for their baggage while people were trying to find places to sit, especially when we experienced delays.. This is not the fault of the airlines, however, but it occurs to me that there could be gentle reminders on in print or in announcements asking people to make room for other passengers.

Pros: Captain was very funny and thoughtful. Crew were great.

Cons: Plane boarded and left about 30 min late and when we arrived gate wasn't available. Things out of their control but of course have an affect on the experience. Also the plane was very oldz

Pros: leg room & movie

Pros: Seat was great, complimentary snacks and alcoholic beverage

Pros: Free movies

Cons: Bad food, cramped seating, slow food service

Pros: Amazing crew as always

Cons: Wifi on smaller hoppers

Pros: Friendly crew. Landed early.

Cons: Delayed flight and cancelled flight home

Pros: NOTHING POSITIVE!

Cons: They chose to cancel the return flight within 2 hours of the scheduled departure and were not at all helpful trying to get anyone out on any other airlines (because they're next available flight to that destination was 4 days out...) Not to mention on the initial flight to my destination, they had everyone board the plane 40 minutes early and then told everyone they had to all evacuate the plane and delayed the flight for 4 hours for NO reason!!!!! I would highly recommend avoiding flying spirit airlines at all cost, what I thought was a decent deal ended costing me an extra $400 for my last minute one-way trip and adding many many hours to my time traveling......

Pros: Good service

Cons: Everything was good.

Cons: The customer service agent over the phone had told me "you are allowed one carry one and one checked bag." So I get to the flight desk and turns out I was allowed one checked bag, however I had to pay $52 for it. On top of that our flight was late and the workers at the boarding site was extremely rude. The overall experience was absolutely horrible.

Cons: Paid for extra legroom, got a seat that didn't recline :(

Cons: They cancelled the Flight and we had to book with Air France instead and made us late to our cruise

Cons: I do not like that I am missed my flight and got stuck in a city without any re-embersement. I usually use United, but decided to use American Airlines this time. Sleeping in an airport tonight. Thanks.

Pros: Not much!

Cons: Flight was 90 minutes late leaving Manchester so J missed my connection in Philadelphia! After a rebooking I was put on a flight to LA but that flight was also late and delayed getting to the gate in LA so I missed the flight to Seattle

Pros: Between the rude and smippy flight crew, getting kicked out of my premium seat for a flight attendant with only a promise of a refund if I saw the gate agent when I landed, and the a/c quitting mid flight to turn the plane into a flying sauna, I now remember why I hate to fly United.

Cons: I had to fly to San Francisco bcs maintenance and delays bullshit

Pros: Despite a slight delay in take off the flight landed on time; crew was friendly and efficient

Cons: Couldn't get a seat assignment until I arrived at the gate; boarding was slow and a little disorganized; seats are small

Cons: The delay in my flight and that nothing was done to compensate that my entire schedule had to be redone to meet the needs of late air crafts, not enough fule and cargo doors not being able to shut.

Pros: Despite boarding late, and sitting on the tarmac for half an hour since we missed our take off time, and having to move passengers around to balance the weight on the plane, we made it home alive.

Cons: We landed over half an hour late. Flight attendants needed to move passengers to balance the weight on the small plane, and asked for "volunteers." When there were none, the FA stood in the aisle and said we just weren't going to take off if nobody volunteered. They should have just MOVED people.

Cons: It was all good ✈️

Pros: Amazing crew and seating. Worth the upgrade to premium.

Pros: Great and faster

Pros: Plane was clean and new looking, seating comfortable, storage good.

Cons: Long check-in line, clerk didn't seem to understand the software. Boarding lounges crowded and shabby. Website confusing and too "cute."

Pros: Reasonable fares friendly staff

Cons: Try to charge my daughter an outrageous amount to check in her luggage, ended up having to leave her luggage and have it shipped. Claim a pocket book is a carry on. No other airline does this. We save on the flight but then ends up the same or more with baggage.

Pros: Good legroom, no delays

Cons: My flight was delayed twice to Boston and I had an appointment to keep. I called the Spirit customer service line repeatedly to ask about travel options and discuss my dilemma. Unfortunately, it seems that phone line is entirely automated. I could not find a human to answer my questions. I finally booked a flight with another airline that was set to arrive in Boston prior to my Spirit flight. I planned to take my return flight home to Chicago, but was informed through email that I had been removed from the flight. I was very upset to learn that my round trip was cancelled by Spirit since I did not take the departure leg of the trip due to all the delays and my time constraints. If I was able to speak to a customer service representative when I repeatedly called for answers, I may have learned of this policy. I was told I could repurchase my flight home for $150, which was too much for me to spend. I am very disappointed that Spirit's budget nature even extends to poor customer service and lack of real humans to provide information during stressful travel situations. Since Spirit has done nothing to make me want to use this airline again, I will be seeking other carriers for my future travel needs.
