Find Cheap Flights from Chicago to Oakland (CHI - OAK)

They nickel and dime you for everything, even water. Cabin is filthy and grimy. No reclining chair. Useless tray table. No power outlets. No ability to scan bosrding pass from phone. Not even flight info on airport status kiosks. It's like traveling in the dark ages. Delays departing due to mechanical issues on both outbound and inbound flights.

Staff was all very nice.

The aisle that had passengers sit in who had to verbally agree to aid getting door open had a drunk man who agreed. He never should have sat in that aisle.

If you're traveling light, the airfare is great. Only pay for what you need - no food, no luggage, etc.

"Read the fine print" is what I was essentially told when I learned I had to pay $50 to check my suitcase. I booked via Kayak - who gives no indication of the several fee options to check luggage, beginning from $30 online at spirit.com and so on. Disliked the service and structure, won't fly Spirit or book through Kayak again.

The crew was competent, my seat neighbors were friendly.

Crammed seats, don't recline. No included beverage (not even water). "No frills" = budget airline. Want to have a carry on ? You'll need to pay for that. I do not recommend Spirit for flights over an hour.

them charging for everything except the bathroom

The airline crew was great and friendly

We got the seats in the last row and couldn't recline them. Didn't have anywhere to charge my device. No app was provided for entertainment neither was there screens for our 4 hour plus flight.

Was happy to pay $35 more for the first row. However, this airline nickel/dimes you for most everything offeredf within the ticket price in other carriers.

Everything costs...nothing comes for free. It seems very petty and underhanded

Spirit rebooked me and lost my checked bag

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

Less than impressive. First time with Alaska. Actual Alaska flight was great. Your regionals left much to be desired.

Snarky unprofessional attendants on the regional flights.

The time!!!

The gate agent helped half a dozen people (not including those described below) understand they were boarding with the wrong group.

Fully one-quarter of the passengers boarded as disability or premium. This included a party of eight that boarded with one person in a wheelchair because "We're all together."

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.

The in flight entertainment and the pilot being informative about what was going wrong at the Atlanta airport.

The insane process that followed the flight of rebooking - it would have been VERY HELPFUL to have access to the inflight internet so that I could have rebooked my missed connection before we landed in the ATL airport where it was past midnight and there were hardly any staff available for us to talk to and the lines to speak to anyone took literal HOURS to get through.

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.

Great crew! On time professional

Food average,

I am pleased with all aspects of the flight and crew!
