Pros: "Having status. Always on time. They run their schedules like European trains."
Pros: "When our flight was delayed by four hours they gave us snacks at the gate. No one offered to reschedule."
Cons: "The 45 minute wait in the Sky Priority lane to drop off baggage. The flight was delayed because of weather and then their scheduling system crashed. Had to wait for a pilot. When we finally boarded at 5 we got peanuts in first class. That was worth the mileage upgrade. Upon landing there was a 1/2 wait on the tarmac to get a gate. That same plane, upon taking off back to DTW blew a tire upon take-off, had to do an emergency landing and everyone had to spend the night in NOLA after being delayed all day."
Pros: "The crew was very apologetic and nice about the delays."
Cons: "The plane was 20 minutes late getting to the gate. Then we sat on the runway for over 30 minutes, while we waited in line for 30 other planes to take off. After a long day and a flight from Venice Italy, it was a bit disappointing to have this sort of delay."

Pros: "Flight was on time"
Pros: "No problems."
Cons: "All was well."
Cons: "I didn't like the fact that I was told to preboard when I checked in before the flight and was told by another employee i was in group 6 and shouldnt be in line. Had to explain why I was preboarding and didn't like having to hold up the line. It was embarrassing."
Pros: "We arrived safely The seats were comfortable We were on time"
Cons: "1) American's boarding process seems to be driven by ticket price and nothing else. Every other airline I've been with boards families with small children first. It lets those families and get on board and get setup so that they don't block aisle access for everyone else. American seems to board based on how expensive your ticket was. So, the aisles get blocked and boarding takes forever. 2) The cabin crew gave pretty apathetic service. When our baby threw up on us, they just told us to go clean ourselves up in the bathrooms. They gave us a can of soda water to help clean up, but that was about it. 3) When my wife asked if the bread was dairy free (for our baby with a dairy allergy), the staff's response was to turn to another staff member and ask them, "Do you want to go back and research that?" In the end they just told us they didn't have time to look it up."
Cons: "Have to pay for wifi use. Entertainment used to be included in flights and was apart of your airfare."
Pros: "All service once on board was lovely"
Cons: "Surprised by a snarky employee at gate check for my connecting flight home today. I fly with AA nearly every week for work. They grabbed my bag from me and insisted it be checked. I said I didn’t want to pay for checking and that it contained fragile items. It was a little over-stuffed for the scale. When I went to open it and remove some bulky items to put in my purse, they snatched my suitcase away and refused to let me touch my bag. I find this to be completely unacceptable. They had the gall to suggest I go to an airport store, buy a “suitable suitcase,” and take a later flight home. They made a scene and called a supervisor who kindly and promptly let me in my suitcase. The employee then spoke negatively about me loudly to nearby colleagues and refused to make eye contact. After the supervisor let me in my bag, I got on the plane with my suitcase. At one point, this employee made me feel like I was going to be kicked off of my flight; this was so unnecessary and extremely unprofessional. AA - your employees are better than this."
Pros: "Boarding was fast!"
Cons: "The staff was not great! When I had just arrived to the gate, they had already called group 5 so I went up and presented my boarding pass and the crew made a facial expression of annoyance since group 5 was called and they were boarding group 7. When I entered the plane, one of the staff just looked at me twice without saying hello back. I said it twice and the same lady gave me a cold goodbye when I was leaving the plane. There was no entertainment!!!! Also, no plug to charge my phone that I had to wait to charge my phone after getting my bags to contact a taxi driver (Lyft)."
Pros: "not much"
Cons: "not much"
Pros: "It was a larger plane than the first leg of my journey so I did not have to gate-check my carry on luggage."
Cons: "It was a bit of a bumpy flight during take off and landing. Flight was cold, but not freezing - tolerable."
Cons: "I was unable to log on to gogoinflight to watch a movie, my ipad was unable to connect."
Pros: "On time arrival"
Pros: "Cabin was clean. Flight attendants were courteous."
Cons: "Their snacks were merely a cookie which was okay, but not what I would have wanted."
Cons: "Middle seat and one of the last ones on. Enough said"
Pros: "The flight crew was great and it was a very smooth landing."
Cons: "Had to pay extra for seats so we could sit together, near the front of the plane (not really, and no bathroom nearby, very small seats with zero legroom). we were delayed twice (40m then 1h10m) then told to go to a different terminal because now our flight WAS leaving on time! so we hauled over there only to be delayed again several times. we know it was a weather thing, but just wish there was more accurate info about when we would actually take off. seats on outgoing flight from SFO to CLT were GREAT, very roomy, comfortable. Coming back- not so much."
Cons: "Missed the flight due to accident on the road. AA was more than helpful in trying to reroute me BUT British Air did not want to cooperate so my trip is now cancelled. This is my 3rd dealings with British Air and they are THE WORST! I will never buy British Air tickets again. Being less than satisfied for the 3rd time is enough to lose my business forever."
Pros: "Flight was on time and the crew were excellent."
Cons: "We get used to cramped conditions on domestic flights but normally get more for international flights. The 777 was very modern but small cramped seats (3 4 3 configuration) meant for a tough journey and almost impossible to sleep."
Pros: "I made it safely to my destinations and in a timely manner."
Cons: "The lack of space to breathe. Being herded like cattle to our seats. The fact that in flight service BARELY made it to the back of the plane before we landed."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "All well"
Cons: "Flight was late. More than doubled my layover time"
Cons: "The fact that people carry-on luggage that exceeds the max requirements for carry on luggage so they can avoid the checked luggage fee. It's a disgrace. It time to live by your rules, the same for everyone. I had to be rebooked out a different airport as PGV was flooded. I was seated in 21F which does not recline. AA cancelled my flight out of PGV, a better seat would have been nice since I had to drive an hour to EWN whereas I was staying only 10 mins from PGV."
Pros: "Very friendly crew."
Cons: "Plane landed in Pittsburgh an hour and a half late because of mechanical issues. So that was inconvenient."
Pros: "The flight was on time, I like the assigned seat, and the service was pleasant."
Pros: "Nice pilot, one of the flight attendants were nice. The seats were comfortable."
Cons: "This airline always has delays! There is no in-flight entertainment (music, tv, movies, etc.); thus, the flight was terribly boring! Also, only peanuts and a small cup of soda was offered to us. Other airlines give cookies and biscotti! The seats don't recline and they need more legroom. The majority of the airline crew largely ignored us and showed mediocre customer service."
Pros: "Easy to navigate site. Was given Pre-check on one leg, which was nice."
Cons: "Had to purchase a seat on one leg, resulting in an extra $12. That was a surprise."
Cons: "Baggage claim took extremely long time. It took a while before the baggage crew even became aware of situation."
Pros: "Evriting"
Cons: "The customer service from AA representitives in the airport was completely unnacceptable and the absolute worst service I have recieved in an airport to date! One incident during this trip was as follows: When arriving in Charlotte and running to catch my connecting flight, I arrived as the lady at the desk was closing the door, she looked at me and rolled her eyes. When I went up to the desk along with the other passengers arriving from the same flight as me the AA representative said "Hurry up , I want to go home!! At a point I'm just going to cut you off and that will be it!" She was of no help to me in anyway amd was forced tonstay the night in charlotte ; Normally this would not have been such a big deal, However I am on emergency leave from the Navy rushing home because I have a very serious family emergency, that representitive was very lucky I held my temper! From now on thanks to the poor unproffessional customer service I received I will no longer be flying American Airlines!"
Pros: "I got home"
Cons: "No tvs"
Pros: "Captain and crew were capable and friendly."
Pros: "Flight attendants were very friendly. Pilot was easy to understand and gave the passengers regular updates on flight status. Flight was short and easy."
Cons: "The seats on this smaller plane were shaped in such a way that they provide very little support to your back...I guess that's my only complaint."
Cons: "The flight crew was extremely unfriendly especially a redhead woman with short hair. When it was time for beverages, she would yell out at each passenger "beverage!" She had no manners. Probably the worse I've ever had experienced"
Pros: "Like I said before nice early boarding."
Cons: "No problem"
Pros: "Clean"
Cons: "Seat assigned"
Cons: "Broken seat and terrible gogo video experience with an attendant crew that was dysfunctional together for food/beverage service. I prefer to not fly AA."
Cons: "Seats are uncomfortable. Seats are too close together, not wide enough, to short, no knee room."
Cons: "Flight cancelled"
Pros: "Crew was polite and professional"
Cons: "Overall experience with American Airlines and those under them was definitely not a good one. In the future I will probably look at other airlines."
Cons: "Had another problem with the plane, this was the cargo door and after waiting forever, that was fixed and then they had to refuel, I was an hour and a half late getting to my destination and they kept telling us just a few more minutes."
Pros: "Short, sweet, uneventful"
Cons: "Roomier Seats more isle space and comfortable seating. Better head sets"
Pros: "The details about the flight info"
Cons: "THTe customer service at Charlotte airport were not friendly at all"
Pros: "Everything was very good"
Pros: "A bit more leg and knee room."
Cons: "The plane was hot. The pilot forced a landing quickly to be on time, instead of taking his time through rough winds. The plane was very turbulent and the landing was extremely rough. I actually pulled out the "puke bag" and almost needed it."
Pros: "Quick and uneventful flight."
Cons: "My reading light didn't work."
Pros: "On time schedule!"
Pros: "Crew was nice."
Cons: "Some travelers was not good."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Small plane"
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "I was able to change my seat since mine was all the way in the back. very happy about that."
Pros: "Staff, modern plane"
Cons: "Seats where slightly small"
Pros: "The Way the customer service guy, Derek, handled the situation in Denver, CO, was excellent I'd really give him a star, went above and beyond my expectations. Put me on the next flight and gave me a food voucher."
Cons: "The first flight got delayed, was supposed to work night shift, was late, had to call in sick, and not sure what my manager will do after this."
Pros: "Besides being tired and walking what felt like 3 miles to new gate I have not issues to report."
Cons: "I chose to fly Southwest on the way back and for less money I received better service. If you find a reasonably priced flight you don't have to worry about paying extra for baggage or stomach during the flight. On the flight home, I realized that they have bigger seats, your bags ( 1 personal, 1 carry-on, and 2 checked bags) are "free" and they give you a little snack to hold you for maybe and hour. Overall I prefer Southwest because of all the benefits you get while flying with them but it doesn't mean I will never fly United again."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Our flight was delayed 1.5 hrs due to lack of communication, leading me to miss my connecting flight by minutes"
Pros: "The crew on this flight looked miserable."
Pros: "United terminal in Houston is very nice"
Cons: "Narrow, uncomfortable seats."
Pros: "Flying first class"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Courteous attendants and overall great flight"
Cons: "The mixed trail mix, honestly that's all :)"
Pros: "Boarding went smoothly."
Cons: "AgainThe person next to me was so obese she needed two extenqders. She was taking up her seat and most of her neighbors, she was in the middle. I was literally pinned against the aisle arm rest. It was a full flight and I wasn't able to be moved. For the entire flight I was cramped and pinned with no where to go."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating!"
Cons: "Issues with crew delayed the flight. I was further delayed getting to my destination because they forced me to check my bag."
Cons: "Being wedged in the middle seat after two overseas flights and seeing stand-by passengers in isle and window seats in rows ahead of mine... no, I did not appreciate that. In other words, UA is accomodating stand-by passengers before accomodating customers who have purchased tickets. Try sitting in a middle seat after two overseas flights... especially as a tall person with no knee space and a super-uncomfortable seat with the headcushion area reaching only your neck. Those seats were clearly made for folks under 5'8"-5'9"."
Cons: "Because of plane problems I had to wait until the next day to fly home. Very inconvenient."
Pros: "all went well...no issues"
Pros: "On time. Comfortable"
Pros: "priority boarding; seat;"
Cons: "snacks selection was limited"
Pros: "Quick and easy boarding process; no lingering trying to sit."
Cons: "We waited for a while to depart; I believe that's customary dealy for Charlotte Douglas now, so not a sole reflection of United."
Pros: "Ease of security and boarding. Friendly and accommodating staff. No concerns at all."
Pros: "on time and very polite.. good flight"
Pros: "Despite weather delay, the flight crew was very energetic and in a positive mood."

Pros: "Excellent service!"
Cons: "The wi fi should be free of charge"
Cons: "The seats were too small no leg room"
Pros: "Crew was excellent. Beyond making sure we were comfortable."
Cons: "Same comment as above"
Pros: "Everything went smooth."
Cons: "None"
Pros: "Best flight attendants!"
Pros: "Smooth flight, nice staff, on time"
Cons: "Not enough leg room!!! The new planes cram us in even tighter. Unless you pay more, you suffer. Why should we have to pay more just because we are tall??!! Pocket for book etc is way too small."
Pros: "The flight was snooze and the flight staff were friendly!"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Very smooth flight and good seat"
Cons: "Still not in New Orleans"
Pros: "Friendly crew."
Pros: "The snack"
Cons: "For the price I paid, it was a terrible seat, no room with 2 people sitting on either side."
Pros: "Not much to like"
Cons: "Supervisors and staff rude in Houston not accommodatING at all Horrible overall exoeriance with United"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled, they made us wait at the airport for five hours, kept delaying thirty minutes at a time. Didn't offer another flight out until three days later"
Pros: "The crew was friendly and helpful and funny. We arrived to our destination early!"
Cons: "Seats are not that comfortable."

Pros: "Was direct and easy. No issues with boarding or flight"
Cons: "Cramped"
Pros: "Pilots were great. Nice flight experience."
Cons: "Delayed boarding - waiting for paperwork. Annoying"
Pros: "The cost of the flight"
Cons: "The 2.5+ hour delay"
Pros: "I was a little hesitant that I could pay under $100 for a round trip flight from Charlotte to Philadelphia. I was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. My bags even beat me down to the bag check!"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Love the flight price!"
Cons: "As expected, everything else is a la carte."
Pros: "The price but after today, I’m going back to “you get what you pay for.”"
Cons: "Flight was delayed 21/2 hours. Was not told ahead of time. We boarded even later then we sat on the tarmac for an hour and a half and we were told that we were #12 in line. An hour later we were told that we were now #15!! Finally off the ground. Flight attendant had a very annoying voice but what made it worse how he kept asking for money because of everyone purchasing. Yes I know but some how on other flights you don’t hear about the money, this was in your face"
Pros: "Attendants very personable, boarding very efficient"
Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable. And because I purchased a cheaper ticket I felt everything was a la carte and very expensive."
Pros: "Nothing, it still goes to prove that cheaper it’s always better."
Cons: "Let me put it this way. I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST THIS AIRLINE TO ANYONE, NOT EVEN IT THE FLIGHT WAS FREE"
Pros: "Crew took great care of passengers as we were delayed 2 hours on the tarmac for deicing. Not their fault but the company gave passengers a $50 certificate for our late arrival."
Cons: "The extra add fees with everything. Also no complimentary beverage or snack"
Pros: "When we were flying from phili to Charlotte they put my boyfriend's bag in the slot to see if we woyld have to pay for our carry on. His was good. Mine was a little bigger but because i had my chemo medication in it they did not charge me. When i was returning from Charlotte they charged us for both bags. I told her they didn't in phili and she said every airline does it. So maybe something should be written in ur policy. What is the sence of taking a carry on when you are going to pay $90.00 round trip. Makes no sence to me. I hope u do reply back. Other than that everything was good."
Cons: "Read the above . and now i c the reviews and everyone had the same problem. Getting charged!!!"
Pros: "I got there safely."
Cons: "The crew did not help people with bags and barked when people opened doors that were closed. There was no entertainment and no complimentary snacks or even water."
Cons: "They lost my bag then informed me they don't track their luggage so not only was it lost, they couldn't even tell me where it was. The frontier employee at the airport was awful. Completely unhelpful. The crew on the flight was good but the airplane is uncomfortable with tiny seat trays and zero wifi options. Won't be flying frontier again."
Cons: "Absolutely terrible flight. I will never fly Fronteir again and will tell everyone I know to never fly this airline."
Pros: "Staff was Friendly and The Price was Great"
Cons: "There wasn't anything"
Pros: "baggage check-in speedy and efficient, rapid plane boarding and plane left the gate on schedule"
Cons: "A special circle in Dante's Hell should be reserved for the Frontier executives who approved the seat design. The non-reclining seat backs are fairly comfortable, but the seat bottoms appear to have about 1/4 inch of foam padding over a hard shell. Did anybody actually test these things out by sitting in them for over 10 minutes?"
Pros: "Flight was 3 hours delayed. When we arrived at the airport they said it would be delayed by 2 hours. Then right before our new boarding time they delayed it another hour. I wish we would have had some advance notice so we weren't stuck waiting at the airport for 3 hours."
Cons: "Frontier seats are extremely uncomfortable (I would say the worst of any airline) and they charge for carry on luggage and drinks."
Cons: "Seats were very uncomfortable they didn't even recline on top of they charge you for every single thing."
Pros: "They were friendly and assisting. Boarding was smooth."
Cons: "Super uncomfortable after 3 hours"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Had an issue with flight attendant humiliating me in front of all passengers around me."
Pros: "It is so convenient and was a pleasure to get in and out. Pick up was a little crazy but still nicer than other airports."
Pros: "Flight to Philly delayed multiple times arrived at 3 am which was a major inconvenience for my friends. Flight back was cancelled and you are basically left to your own devices to get transportation on your own. Your refund is granted in 7 to 10 days but you need to front the cost for whatever last minute transportation you procure. Nightmare carrier if something goes wrong"
Pros: "We sat on the plane for two hours before having to get off. The plane was scheduled to leave at 11:59 pm and did not leave until approximately 7:00 am! Pitiful. I will never schedule another flight on Frontier."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled. I was not notified until after I arrived at the airport. The only alternative they provided was flying to my destination 5 days later. Their phone line has a 2 hour wait so I am still waiting to find out if I have a refund for my flight. Not worth the cheap flight."
Pros: "Staff great , very nice new plane"
Cons: "Hard seats Small space"
Pros: "Friendly crew. Alot of empty seats so we could stretch out.."
Cons: "I don't know why they bought a plane with seats that don't recline and tray tables are only half as wide as normal."
Pros: "I had no problems. Our flight arrived early."
Cons: "Too many advertisements/promotions over the PA."
Pros: "I can appreciate the smaller seat size for its efficient use of space."
Cons: "Why do you try to trick people into paying for seat selection by making actual purchase choices very unclear? Why do I have to call in and have a lengthy conversation with a person just so that I can add my KTN to my profile? Why did it take an hour for a technician to arrive to solve a computer problem? Why is flight delay information so slow to be communicated?"
Pros: "I never write reviews, but I have to say something about this wonderful flight crew. I have a serious fear of flying and their great attitude and funny personalities made my experience 100x better than usual. Please send them my thanks!"
Pros: "Nothing!"
Cons: "We booked this flight well in advance and had confirmation for it. Imagine our dismay when we received a notification a few days before our trip that our connecting flight from Denver to Salt Lake City was changed to 10 hours later. When we arrived in Denver, we went to the customer service desk and was told that the flight we had booked didn't have any seats for us and we would have to take the later flight. No explanation. It was scheduled to leave on time, just that they had no room for us even though we had a confirmation number for that flight. I don't know if the responsibility was with Frontier airlines or our booking agency, but rest assured I will not use either one of them again."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The plane was delayed and I was not notified by email."
Pros: "The crew were great and my flight was on time"
Cons: "Charged $40 for carry on bags! Also no complimentary beverages or snacks at all"
Pros: "They let parents with children under 3 board first along with those that need help. That was a plus for me since I was traveling with my 2 years old grandson"
Cons: "I had no complaints"
Cons: "I'm sorry I usually do not say anything negative but all 4 of my flights were bad. They were all late. 2 out of 4 were at the wrong gates. There were no announcements made. If I had not looked myself I would have not even knew.. The crew were rude and unfriendly. No one smiled. Over all a very unpleasant time. I will not use Frontier airlines again."
Pros: "YEAH FRONTIER! They did a fabulous job getting me back home and once again on time and without any problems! Staffs were kind and gracious from the ticket counter all the way through! LOVE this airline! Watch out Southwest!"
Cons: "Frontier has a lot of hidden fees such as having to pay to have a carry on bag and also trying to charge me for a seat when checking in online. I mean, what exactly did I pay for when I purchased my tickets? Ridiculous."
Pros: "- The quick check-in was great, I found that it was maybe one of the easiest I've had. The flight was great for the cost as well, I was happy to know that it was just what I needed."
Cons: "I didn't like that they didn't offer any snacks on the fight, not even a water or pretzels, everything costed money."
Pros: "Smooth flight, on time departure."
Cons: "Paying extra for everything; eg. seats that were no better than any others, with arm rests that were like rocks; paying for coffee. The 'threat' that if yiu din't pay for seats tigether, you may be separated frim your companion. Overall, a great example of overpromising, overcharging, and underdelivering. A flight attendant whose response to my surprise at having to pay for coffee was "...I don't make the rules." Frontier should spend some coffee money on retraining attendants on customer service."
Pros: "The price"
Cons: "Everything else. Terrible seats, most uncomfortable flight ever. No complimentary beverage/snack."
Cons: "I didn't like the checking in process"
Cons: "-$40 fee for carry-ons (I am a violinist, so my violin is my carry-on, meaning I also need to bring a checked bag) -$35 fee for checked bags -non-reclinable thin plastic seats -everything on board costs money, including water -both my flight to Charlotte and back to Chicago were both delayed for the same stated reason of the airline not allocating enough time for the plane to be released from inspections after a previous international flight -no information about new projected arrival times -poor communication with waiting passengers -loud thumping and beeping noises on the plane"
Pros: "It was satisfactory. More space than I expected for a low fare airline"
Cons: "That I was nickle and dimed for EVERYTHING."
Cons: "Overcrowded no complimentary beverage"
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "Seats were the most uncomfortable ever. Tray backs were about size of a pack of cheese crackers. Would barely hold a soft drink. At no time during my booking or printing of the itinerary was there any mention that if I chose my own seat there would be a hefty up-charge and that I would be charged $30.00 each way for a carry on bag. They don't tell you this until you've paid the fare and it's time to print the boarding pass. I have no idea how this airline stays in business. By the time I paid all the excess charges I could have flown on Delta on a nice plane with nice seats. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Never again will I fly Frontier. I'd rather take the bus."
Pros: "Crew and the general process"
Cons: "Mostly the fact that we had to pay extra to check in!!!!!! Ridiculous! I was trying to check in using the Frontier App on my phone and I had to enter my credit card information. Then we had to pay for seltzer water??!!! Your tray tables are a joke (WAY TOO SMALL). Seats are not very comfortable"
Pros: "Trenton Airport is so convenient and Frontier flights are often early coming in and out of there since they are the only airline. They are small but efficient."
Cons: "The only problem is that there are limited flights in and out of Trenton so if your flight is cancelled due to bad weather or something, you generally can't get to your destination. That happened to me once. Otherwise, it's great!"
Pros: "The window seat was comfortable"
Cons: "Faster takeoff"
Pros: "Initial flight delayed twice which forced me to buy a new fare on spirit to New Orleans... I think I should be refunded on that fare."
Cons: "Delay..."
Pros: "Crew was good and seats were okay"
Pros: "Seats were better than frontier with a real table"
Cons: "No drink service"
Cons: "I’m a woman of course I have a small purse for my personal items, this human charged me $65 USD."
Pros: "No"
Cons: "Yes"
Cons: "No frills which was expected for the price. Crew was pleasant."
Cons: "The seats were very uncomfortable and there was very little space."
Cons: "Got 30 minutes prior to flight, wouldn’t let me check in"
Pros: "Plane left very close to on time even though the inbound flight was a little late. And arrived early."
Cons: "The charges for everything (seat assignment, baggage, food) get old quickly."
Cons: "9hr Delay"
Cons: "My suitcase was very wet when you arrived"
Pros: "Spirit is a nickle and dime operation, with very uncomfortable seating"
Pros: "I’m medium build, average weight and the seat is too small. We arrive 15 minutes ahead of time, but sat on tarmac for 35 minutes. After exiting plane, no one mention or seemed to know where our luggage carousel was located."
Cons: "Being held up on tarmac for over 1/2 hour and NO ONE concerned that passengers didn’t know where to find luggage."
Pros: "No in flight issues. Seats were pretty comfortable"
Cons: "The exorbitant charge for a carry-on of practically any size. Multiple delays and poor communication. Gate changes four times then an engine issue."
Pros: "Boarding on time and relatively quick"
Cons: "With all the separate charges for seats, carry ons, etc. it’s really not a savings. Also, not even being offered a glass of water? That’s carrying bare bones too far."
Pros: "The flight was safe. We made it."
Cons: "So many fees! It was ridiculous, but I guess that’s my fault for not reading reviews. I should have just overnighted my suitcase to my destination - it would have been heaped than the $75 baggage fee."
Pros: "Airport waiting area was very nice with lots of different seating options. The boarding went very quickly, but that was because the flight was mostly empty. Can't believe how expensive the luggage was. I guess that is why the ticket is less expensive."
Cons: "The seats were hard and the tray table was almost non-existent."
Cons: "I set the dates for our trip for April 12 to April 15, for some reason when I got the email confirmation the trip was set for January 15 to 18; I had to call Spirit Airlines and ended up paying EXTRA $ 70.00 dollars to get the right dates and another couple friends were doing it at the same time and the same happened to them"
Cons: "Spirit is awful in every way"
Pros: "Couteous gate agent"
Cons: "Baby boy next to me (smile)"
Pros: "My flight heading to my destination was the best flight i've ever had. I've never flown first class before but inregards to the size of the seat i had on my very first flight with Spirit, it felt like first class. Huge seat, legroom, and next to the window...PERFECT!!"
Cons: "The fee for a check-in bag, $50 each way, is flat out wrong. It will certainly hinder my flying with Spirit in the future."
Pros: "Fun crew."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating."
Pros: "Humor ....every time I have flown spirit....the flight attendant doing the announcements always made it funny."
Cons: "The flight is as cancelled one hour before we were suppppsed to leave and rescheduled for the following night 24 hours kater"
Cons: "The customer service representatives were extremely unhelpful and showed zero interest in assisting with customer request. I will never fly with Spirit Airlines again"
Pros: "Price and size and age of the plane."
Cons: "Was not aware of additional baggage charges at the time of the reservation."
Pros: "Change of gate wasn't fun but it was handled professional."
Pros: "Our check in lady Jasmene was so kind and arranged my seat to be next to my traveling partner. She was so kind and caring! Thank you!"
Pros: "Nice crew."
Cons: "Extra money for carry ons. Hour delay no explanation. Gates changed. Delayed on tarmac. No food or water. Racked up 80 bucks in extras."
Pros: "Once on the flight, it was fune"
Cons: "Delayed by two hours"
Pros: "- It was on time - Flight crew were quite friendly"
Pros: "Safe flight"
Cons: "More than an hour DELAYED!!! Then we had to pay $65 more to carry on a small bag. That's ridiculous absolutely ridiculous"
Pros: "No comment"
Cons: "No comment"
Pros: "Price"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The airplane was dirty. And, a woman next to me asked for some water and the flight attendant says, "$3 for a bottle." This is very disrespectful and classist. Not everyone has $3, and I could tell that she didn't. Also, the plane made a terribly loud noise. I feared for my life! The flight was delayed but the crew did not give us updates.... We simply waited. And waited."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Fees, customer service, missed flight due to overbooking"
Pros: "The flight was inexpensive, on time, and pleasant."
Cons: "The baggage fees."
Cons: "Flight was delayed four hours"
Pros: "All of the staff was very stylish. I liked that the flight was cheap"
Cons: "Could not check my bags anywhere except the gate, and it cost more than the flight did, they would not accept cash from me to check my bags until a man had a hissy fit. I wasn't allowed to actually check my heavy bag, was made to carry it on, which was over whelming and hurt my back, really annoying and stressful. Felt ignored because I was a woman. Felt annoyed that they gave me a hard time about paying them cash. No where on the website does it say credit cards only. Also the seats were small and did not recline. On my return trip they changed the gate 2 mins before boarding and I had to run to catch the flight. I would not recommend."
Pros: "Nothing! DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE unless you can afford all the extra fees right before you travel. Pay for print of ticket, pay if your carry "bag" is 1 inch bigger then a lunch pail, pay for water, seats, they suck, just pick any other airline you can"
Cons: "All of it ! DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE unless you can afford all the extra fees right before you travel. Pay for print of ticket, pay if your carry "bag" is 1 inch bigger then a lunch pail, pay for water, seats, they suck, just pick any other airline you can . Others felt like me after gettting ripped off, and it creates tension on the flight, when you just hate the airline the entire flight and you just want to sue them- its not a good feeling added when you fly."
Cons: "First my flight was canceled do to " weather conditions" even though all other airlines were flying out to the same city. When I asked for help the desk attendant said I can look on my phone for available flights. So I didn't feel like the staffed cared at all. The flight back went without a delay but the airplane felt very cramped and with no entertainment to distract us from our 4 hour flight. When I did finally order a coffee and muffin the flight attendant staired at me like I wasn't speaking English. And passed everything to me 1 by 1 in the most awkward uncomfortable way. I don't know how exactly to describe it but it was incredibly strange and not very professional. Over all I won't be flying with this airline again."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight canceled the day off for no reason had to spend 399 to catch s fought home"
Cons: "I have traveled around the world as an auditor. I am no rookie to the game. I laughed when they informed me my carry on was $54 since my flight was purchased for $45 (one way to New Orleans). I was in the boarding area 1 hour prior to loading (Not fully paying attention). I was standing 30 feet from the gate 20 minutes before boarding time (paying full attention) and did not realize they had already loaded the plane. They said they called my name 3 times which means I couldn't /didn't hear them. My bags left without me. I ended up buying a ticket on delta because I had to link up with my family for a reunion. This was one of the most memorable crappy experiences of my adult life."
Pros: "Spirit has low fares, and they seem to stick to their flight schedules really well. Flight crew had a sense of humor."
Cons: "extra fees. Two checked bags = $105. Extra 3" legroom =$40."
Pros: "Check in was fast and convenient!"
Cons: "Baggage fees are extremely high!"
Pros: "Nothing. Actually they gave me my money back the following week. That was a good thing! I figured I would have to fight them for it."
Cons: "Honestly you might as well just fly with another company and pay a little more. Spirit will charge you for your carry on anyway so in the end you're not saving money. I had to pay $45.00 one way for my backpack. I even paid ahead of time to save money. If you don't do this and get caught with a carry on at the gate they will charge you $100.00. Okay where do I start. I flew or at least tried to fly from Las Vegas to New Orleans with Spirit Airlines. My flight wasn't till 7:30pm. I showed up early to find out my flight had been delayed till 9:30pm. That wasn't a big deal. I left the airport to go back into the city since I had extra time. I received an email at 6:45pm saying my flight was on time so I raced to the airport to find out that they had a computer problem and my flight had been delayed till 10:30pm now. I hung around the gate from 7:10pm till 8:30pm just to see my flight being delayed more and more. I would look up to see it change from 10:30pm, 12, 12:30am. I went to talk to the front desk at 9:30pm to find out why my flight kept being delayed. She said they would know more in the next five minutes. Soon after that they came across the intercom saying that the flight had been canceled. I raced down to the check-in and talked to them about a reschedule. They said they didn't have another flight going out till tomorrow at 7:30pm. They would put me in a hotel and give me a shuttle or they would give me my money back without anything. I asked to get help with another airlines that could get me to New Orleans sooner but they wouldn't help. (Rumor has it the shuttle didn't leave till everyone was on it that was going to the hotel. There had to be 75 people in line trying to rebook a flight and get a hotel.) I ended up getting a refund for my ticket, booked with American Airlines and flew back the next day at 6:15am. Long story short I didn't save money flying with Spirit Airlines. I won't fly with them again. If I were you I would just pay the extra money and fly with another company because after baggage fees you're not saving anything. Safe travels!"
Pros: "My flight to Las Vegas was delayed 7 hours with no compensation. Then the flight from Vegas to New Orleans was delayed 2 hrs at 2pm then site 2 hrs at 5pm until it was finally canceled at 10pm. After I spent 3.5 hrs standing in line I was re-booked a non direct flight the next day with another airline,and they put me up in a hotel for 2hours until my next day of flying to Denver, Houston, and then new Orleans. I was originally supposed to arrive in new Orleans via a direct flight Sunday night but ended up not reaching my final destination until Tuesday afternoon."
Cons: "They charged $55 for a carryon, in which I was not notified of until I got to y airport. My flight was delayed with no compensation. The steward woke me up at midnight to ask if I wanted to purchase a coke. My return flight was delayed all day then canceled. Services were less than professional and filled with hidden fees."
Pros: "I liked everything. It was an amazing experience from check in to boarding to getting off the plane."
Cons: "$55 to check a bag or to carry it on."
Pros: "I almost swore off Spirit a few years ago, after terrible customer service and unclean planes etc. This trip has made me reconsider. The crew was the best asset. They were entertaining, so pleasant, joking and engaging with customers all while being professional and efficient. Better service than the "premier" airlines that I have recently flown. We were more inclined to order drinks and food onboard because we were in good spirits and felt that we didn't need to wait until touchdown to allow vacation to begin. Thank you for a great experience (it was the same crew for both legs)"
Cons: "Bummer that the seats don't recline (but for short flights, not terribly bad) We had a layover on both legs of the trip, however were unaware that we would not be switching planes. We had to choose to run off the aircraft to grab a sandwich etc vs waiting 3 more hours to eat. When we decided there was enough time, we made no stops, walked off the plane and to the first food booth we saw, and we walked back to the gate and sat to eat our food. Only after watching someone else run onto the jet bridge, did I ask the gate attendant (who was 5 steps away from me) if we needed to board. She casually said "oh yea, we're going to close the gate in 2 minutes" !!! there was no overhead page/announcement/ or her asking if we were on that flight (when she had seen us de-plane and ask her directions, and could tell on her flight logs that some people were still to board). We were super lucky not to miss that flight and I wish we felt that she was working in our best interest. --This was the only lacking part of our flight. --maybe on boarding tickets, you could ** and state that both legs are on the same aircraft? So we could plan ahead? -- perhaps train gate attendants to page prior to gates closing if not all passengers are on board (like all other airlines do) Thank you for considering changes and feedback"
