Find Deals on Flights from Chicago to Fort Myers SW Florida Intl (CHI - RSW)

On time.

The plane took off about a half hour late because they switched our gate at the time we were supposed to start boarding. Everyone had to be moved from one end of the terminal to the other.

The flight

All good

Faster, no problem with cabin pressure

Flying first class, but I paid for that so doesn't say anything about the airline.

Leaving late and then waiting 1 hour for luggage to reach the carousel in Fort Meyers. Because two other flights were at the same airport at the same time. For example, they knew three flights would land at a certain time ( at the time they were scheduled to arrive) and then somehow the ground crew was surprised.

FAs were so pleasant, so different than usual, that it reminded me of the good old days. They were also more attentive than usual.

AA's domestic IFE product is generally an embarrassment - they seem to think it's still 1995. No choices in first class? Come on... Pleasantness of the FAs more than made up for this.

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

Direct flight

Crammed small seats so close together felt like a sardine in a can.. Also no complimentary beverage threw me off when I had to take medicine to get my blood sugar down & discovered if I wanted water it was Going to cost me $3.00.. Also thought $50 for my tiny little rolling duffle bag was way overpriced .. The only reason I never take it on as a carry-on is because I have very Bad back and don't want to haul it I will never fly spirit again if i can avoid it

I arrived at the gate 20 minutes before it was scheduled to leave and they had given my seat away. And this after I had paid an additional $120 in order to have the privilege of having a carry-on to a flight I never got to actually take.

boarding and gate agent were superb

temperature in the cabin was hot enough to roast a turkey

Seats, video and overall comfort are all very nice on the new 900's.

Nothing.

It was an A320 Airbus, not a tiny commuter jet.

The staff is not friendly. The snack options are subpar at best. They nickel & dime you to death. I'm surprised there wasn't a fee to use the bathroom. Overall very unprofessional. I'd rather fly on American, and that's saying something...

Flight attendants were very attentive to my boyfriend because he was singing Christmas carols

Service was poor. The seats did not recline which does not work well for a tall girl

crew was great

staff from de-icing company failed to show, despite >24h of notice of snow; missed our connection baggage handlers destroyed suitcase

Row 19 on a 737ER is great for room, as long as you don't plan on reclining (I rarely do in a daytime flight)

A little overcautious regarding seating the cabin crew because of possible turbulence, but better safe than sorry, I suppose. However, it is a common occurrence on this particular leg, so don't board knowing you might need to take a "break" before you get to Atlanta.

Left 3 hours late.

Seats do not recline and are super small!

We were late taking off.

Crew was professional and friendly

Flight was 3 hours late. Wifi was not working most of the time. TV reception was out for the entire plane for the entire flight

Flight got canceled just minutes before boarding time due to mechanical plane issues so we were told and no other flights were available until January 1 which was my schedule date to return home.

The flight was smooth and the interior was new. Very nice.

Due to aircraft change my wife and daughter and I were split up. We were able to get two seat together after a long phone call the evening prior to the flight. When we arrived at the airport we ended up with the original two, plus a separated third seat.
