Cons: "Original flight changed- had me arriving after second flight took off. Delta didn’t fix it. Spent 5 hours changing it. Rebooked flight was delayed- they rebooked to the next day at the last minute then, got me out same night but 3 Hours from my original airport."

Cons: "Too cramped"
Pros: "Courteous crew and smooth flight"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "Great"
Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice and the boarding crew. From the time I walked up to the counter at LGA to the time I exited the plane in CLT, I was treated so kindly and with such respect. Kudos to the Delta Crew."
Cons: "The FLIGHT!!!!! There were delays. Scheduled take of time was 6:59 PM. We took off at 735 PM. Once I was on the plane, I started kicking myself in the you know what because I knew immediately I was scammed. I had purchased a 1st Class ticket for $400+, only to find that my comfort would be the equivalent of that if I purchased a ticket in economy. My long legs would still be cramped. For the past few years, I have been purchasing 1st class for it's spaciousness. On this flight, on the RCJ700, I did not fly comfortably. The space was very tight, and I was able to stretch my legs as if I sat in economy. This was by far, my most uncomfortable flight ever. SMH; A WASTE OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!!"
Pros: "But, this wasn't bad at all, even though we were on the very last seat of the plane. We were next to one of the flight attendants during take off and landing and she was very kind and we were speaking with her. The flight was smooth"
Pros: "The flight was on schedule and landed early, and the pilot landed that plane very gently. It was quite impressive."
Cons: "I purchased a first class ticket in hopes that I would have a lot more comfort during the flight. It took me quite some time to get comfortable. The seat was ok, but I found the pillows to be very small and flat. I needed multiple pillows. The head rest was not adjustable, so I also found this to be uncomfortable. Usually when I fly AA, the headrest is adjustable. My final dislike was that the beverage selection was limited. I'm quite sure there was plenty of alcohol, but what about those customers who do not drink alcoholic beverages? I asked for hot chocolate, there was none. I asked for hot tea with honey, there wasn't any. So all in all my flight was okay, but that is solely because of the flight attendant and pilot. They did their jobs and they did an excellent job."
Pros: "Columbus airport is very nice. Security was quick. Boarding the plane was smooth and no problems. Staff was very nice too!"
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Speed and comfortable kind bars were a nice touch"
Cons: "Luggage went elsewhere"
Pros: "Plane left 2 hours late."
Cons: "Although weather played a part in the poor experience, it wasn't the only factor. Delta was unprepared."
Cons: "Cramped"
Pros: "Quick, clean"
Cons: "I was in the back seat"
Cons: "I paid for the upgrade to Delta Comfort Plus for an aisle seat & for some reason they reassigned our seats and I got Putin a middle seat. It was not what I paid for and it was very uncomfortable. If people pay to upgrade to specific seats we should. It be reassigned to whatever seat they want to put us in."
Pros: "service. Thank you."
Cons: "comfort seats were uncomfortable"
Cons: "The aircraft was older and visibly dirty in the corners. The baggage took well over the guaranteed 20 mins."
Pros: "Delta Club"
Cons: "Due to last minute and absurd changes made to my itinerary by Delta without my knowledge, I was not on this flight."
Pros: "Boarding was not a problem at all! ."
Cons: "The pilot was very rough maneuvering the aircraft. Starting from take off the pilot took off from a halt and accelerated so fast that I believe takeoff took 3sec or less. Also taxi into the airport about to land His maneuvering was Preety rough compared to the other two delta pilots that were perfect. There wasnt any food offered."
Pros: "The checkin agents did their best. Flight attendantw very helpful when overhead bins were full."
Cons: "No food/beverage service. Agent at gate desk visibly tired and short with customers, but not rude."
Pros: "We arrived safely."
Cons: "Unable to get seat assignments until check-in (overbooked); therefore, my wife and I sat in middle seats on different rows. Boarding is an exercise to continue the "caste system" between 1st class passengers and coach with the "priority boarding" line and the "general boarding" side of the turnstile...what a joke! Richard Anderson, CEO comes on the recording and tells us how great Delta is and then every Delta employee on the flight try to disprove his flowery speech. We paid $50 to pre check luggage then have to fight for a place in the overhead storage for a small backpack and a coat because of all the possessions priority passengers bring onboard. Thanks for the coke..."
Cons: "The first 2 hours were so bumpy that I got sick. I was also in the middle seat and was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep."
Pros: "He crew was very nice!"
Cons: "Both flights were delayed and there were too many problems at the Columbus airport!"
Pros: "The flight was great! Very comfortable. I also loved the free movies they had available when you connect to wifi on the plane."
Cons: "Beverages fir 1st class"
Pros: "Wonderful crew, Shefan provided excellent service. This was my first time flying first class and my expectations were exceeded."
Pros: "Upgraded"
Cons: "The plane departed 1.5 hours late due to crew issues."
Cons: "More room is what everyone wants. It’s unrealistic though. First class was pretty comfortable."
Cons: "American Airlines continues to lag in their ability to proactively communicate updates to their customers. Then to top it off, they lack empathy and a true ability to accommodate customers."
Cons: "2 hour delays on both flights of a round trip"
Cons: "Food options were just snacks. On a 4 hour flight? What??"
Cons: "Stale pretzels"
Pros: "The flight itself was about as average as any other flight. At least all our luggage made it from the incoming flight from Key West to join us in Charlotte. That was our final destination but most of the passengers were making additional connections."
Cons: "The boarding went like the plane was ready to leave on time, except it didn't. There was a delay because the flight crew came from another arriving flight, so they had to go through the full pre-flight checklist. Then there was a "minor maintenance issue" that couldn't be fixed right away because it was "shift change" for the maintenance crews. Eventually they arrived and fixed whatever, while everyone was getting texts and alerts that kept delaying the departure by 15-minute intervals. Over an hour (while sitting in a warm plane) after the original scheduled departure, we left the gate, sat on the taxiway a while, then took off. Cabin crew only had cookies and drinks, no other snacks or food. All anyone got was an apology for the extended delay."
Cons: "Limited legroom is a problem. Otherwise, the flight was fine."
Pros: "The crew was accommodating"
Cons: "The crew was pleasant. No water served due to turbulence"
Pros: "We where late boarding, jet didn’t have fuel, we had delay after delay. This flight is never on time. every time I have taken this flight I am delayed. Also getting into charolette, we always spend at least 20 min on the tarmac"
Pros: "Smooth flight"
Cons: "Small plane"
Cons: "Flight from Columbus was delayed due to crew member family emergency. AA said I would miss my connection in Charlotte. The only alternate connection was too late to complete the trip. I nearly canceled the trip. I reboarded and made my connection with 10 minutes to spare. Also, my destination (Greenville) was only 90 miles from Charlotte, the connecting airport (unbeknownst to me). AA should have offered the option of driving to my destination."
Pros: "One of the flight attendants was nice."
Cons: "AA is now trying to save money (presumably) by doing like Delta: forcing half of us to connect in Charlotte. Unfortunately, the Charlotte airport is not ready to accommodate so many people. The airport looks like it is being renovated, which is fine, but there is no tape/cones to mark off the renovated areas from the walkways. You literally walk through dirt and construction sites. I didn't even think that was legal in the US?! Anyway, maybe it will be worth it once the renovations are complete, especially if AA is going to use it as a hub."
Cons: "We sat in Charlotte on the runway and had to run to our connection. The airport seems too small for the amount of traffic. We usually try to avoid Charlotte, but it was the only way to use frequent flyer miles"
Pros: "Fast"
Pros: "But, the customer service was good."
Cons: "The flight was cancelled."
Cons: "Why can't the crews in in LGA communicate with the passengers during the boarding process like at other airports so that it won't be a mad mob press to get on the plane. The gate agent using the PA didn't or couldn't enunciate, and folks just 15 feet away were asking what she said."
Cons: "The delay in Columbus caused me to miss my connection and have to fly into LAX instead of LGB."
Cons: "The flight was late"
Cons: "Not enough leg room for tall people unless you pay extra."
Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "Luggage did not make the transfer on time (Chicago-Charlotte after Tokyo), although they had about 45 minutes to load it. Do not buy an international ticket with less than 1.5 hours transfer time. (It took 45 minutes to get through customs/immigration and retrieve luggage for transfer."
Pros: "On time departure and arrival - friendly crew"
Cons: "No own movie screen."
Pros: "Timely and comfortable flight"
Cons: "Have to pay for wifi use."
Pros: "On time arrival"
Pros: "An early morning flight and all went well."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight left late, once in Charlotte sat on taomac 20 min, waited 20 min for our forced to check carry on and missed our connecting flight. They gave away our seats and were not helpful. Eventually wander to a customer service desk. Anitbef ling wait. Finally got a flight out."
Pros: "It was okay"
Cons: "We loaded late and than sat in the plane awhile before we left. No explanation was given. Once we arrived in Charlie we sat on the tarmac for 20 min. No explanation. Than we waited 20 min fir our carry on luggage to arrive. We were told we had to check it. By the time we arrived at our gate they had given outlet seats away. They were not very polity ir helpful."
Pros: "Friendly and helpful crew besides the message below. Still one of my favorite airlines!"
Cons: "Crew made too many announcements that were commercial. The volume of the announcements was out of sync with the inflight entertainment audio and hurt my ears."
Pros: "Nothing in particular. They got me there."
Cons: "The usual stuff. Uncomfortable. Worse than riding a bus."
Cons: "Small, old plane. No drinks, snacks, or entertainment."
Pros: ". ."
Pros: "Excellent crew, food and entertainment."
Cons: "Gate agents need to talk slower then we're clearly… It's ridiculous how some of them talk, they need a communications course it's not that hard 10% slower equals 100% more effective."
Cons: "Staff was not friendly at all"
Pros: "Plane was clean boarding was fine."
Pros: "The crew, as always"
Cons: "Being sectioned off from 1st class"
Cons: "Arrived twenty minutes late. AA refused to accept responsibility for this and compensate me, even though my transportation had departed without me as a result of their tardiness."
Pros: "Boarded on time. You should let only executive Platinum board after 1st class. The value is diluted when ALL advantage members board at the same time."
Cons: "Boarding. See above."
Cons: "I got stuck in DC overnight and I was not provided with a hotel or meal voucher:"
Pros: "As usual the plane was clean and everybody involved with American was very friendly."

Cons: "More leg room and more shoulder room."

Cons: "Crew seemed hurried - when asking if people wanted coffee walked by so quickly I did not have a chance to reply"
Pros: "Once on board, everything was great."
Cons: "The gate was crowded, and it was difficult to hear gate announcements. Everyone was confused unless they'd been there before. The gate assignment is confusing to everyone considering you go through the same door."
Cons: "They skipped me for drinks"
Pros: "Great service from the tiny crew. No issues with boarding, either."
Cons: "Regional jets are so tiny those with small carry-ons are still forced to check their baggage at the gate. How about a larger jet, folks?"

Pros: "comfortable"
Cons: "Weather delay"
Pros: "2 sear rows so no middle seat"
Cons: "Late departure"
Pros: "Excellent crew."

Cons: "N/a"
Pros: "Attendants were great"
Cons: "Needle point lady sitting next to me used more room than I'd would've liked. The upgrade wasn't much of an upgrade, guess I'll have to see what aircraft I'm on before I pay the extra for little comfort."
Pros: "Upgraded to 1st class for balancing purposes; flight attendants really friendly and professional"
Cons: "Flight movie didn't work"
Pros: "Seats are too narrow. Passenger next to me was so big he was sitting on my seat."

Cons: "Lots of delays, not so friendly flight attendants..."
Pros: "space"
Cons: "boarding zones were off"
Cons: "Our flight was cancelled, bad weather was the day before our flight, not the day of our flight (the day of our flight which was sun). We now got rebooked for wed. That's 3 days we didn't plan to be in Columbus oh. That seems excessive."
Cons: "Delays no good..."
Pros: "Professional and timely"
Pros: "Great service"
Cons: "Waiting an hour to take off"
Pros: "I was given TSA precheck which was great."
Cons: "I didn't get the seat I selected, rather the very last row next to the toilet. not the fault of United but hit terrible turbulence."

Cons: "I just could not get comfortable"
Cons: "Rude attendants."
Cons: "There were a lot of children on the flight."
Pros: "Crew pleasant."
Cons: "Tight space and no food to speak of."
Cons: "During my round trip my flight was delayed 4 times and canceled twice. On the first cancellation I had to get a hotel room because the next flight wasn't for 24 hours. Then, that flight was canceled but the booked me on another airlines. At first they were going to make me wait another 24 hours until I had told her that I had already did that once. The desk clerks were rude on every encounter."
Pros: "Most things"
Cons: "Some things"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "We waited all evening for a flight that kept being changed and then finally canceled. We were given several reasons from bad weather, mechanical problems, and crew out of hours. We should hv been transferred to another plane sooner without having to stay overnight with no change of clothes or personal items."
Pros: "Nice clean plane, very friendly and helpful crew."
Cons: "The hour delay."
Pros: "The flight ran ahead of schedule and the crew was polite and efficient."
Cons: "The flight attendant woke me up to ask if I wanted a drink."
Pros: "Nothing everything was horrible absolute terrible customer service"
Cons: "Didn't offer vouchers or accomodations Classified delay as weather when we were told in Ohio it was a mechicanical I was extremely distraught began crying horribly became extremely dehydrated & went into urgent care once returning to PHX"

Pros: "Friendly helpful courteous"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "First, when I got to the booth AFTER checking in, they told me that there isn't any more seats on the flight. The attendant proceeded to tell me "just go to JFK and see what happens" obviously I was furious. United will be lucky if I ever fly on them again"
Pros: "The flight attendants were very pleasant."
Pros: "The crew was very kind."
Cons: "The temperature control was ridiculous!!! One minute it was 40 degrees and the next it was 90. People were putting on coats and hats, taking them off and putting them back on the entire flight. It was horrible and there was NOTHING relaxing about this flight bc of it. The crew announced the inflight entertainment and gave directions on how to use it. Thirty minutes later, they informed us it wasn't working. So nothing to distract us from the horrible temps!!! Pull this aircraft out of service and fix the temperature!!!"
Pros: "Flight was not only on time, but early both ways."
Cons: "Gate change at Newark."
Pros: "The view."
Cons: "The seats"
Pros: "Best pilot I have ever flown with"

Cons: "Free in flight snacks."
Pros: "Very nice and criendly"
Cons: "For the price this was great"
Pros: "Nice, roomy plane, on time flight"
Cons: "No free drinks or snack"
Cons: "I was unaware a carry-on had a cost to it. Then when they told me that if I paid at the desk it would be $50, but if I did it online it would cost $38 I obviously went to do it online. I was unable to do so. Even the desk associates were unable to do so. So they gave me a phone number to call and told me that they would refund me $12. Well, I got unnecessary attitude from the person (Arya) with whom I spoke with when I was being calm and collected. That's what pushed me over. I can handle bumps in the road calmly until I'm getting attitude from the customer service."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "They charged you for everything that adds up to more than what I would have gotten for a better flight. The flights were delayed multiple times. I’ve flown with frontier before and had the same results. I chucked it up to just a bad day but twice in a row???? Ridiculous!! Never again!!!"
Pros: "Nonstop flight."
Cons: "Delay so late arrival."
Cons: "Two hour delay and the flight status website never works"
Pros: "Cheap; smooth landing"
Cons: "Screaming children; no leg room"
Pros: "Price was good."
Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable."
Pros: "That it was a nice smooth flight."
Cons: "That you had to pay for everthing, that fact i waited over 20 minutes after the drinks and snacks been passed out."
Cons: "being nickle and dimed for every little convenience, checked bag, carry on bag, seat selection, etc. What I though was a good deal ticket turned out to be way more expensive than I imagined."
Pros: "I lived"
Cons: "definitely would be better if there was USB ports and if I'm gonna spend $7.99 on a shot of whiskey it would at least fill the glass up"
Pros: "smooth flight, from takeoff to landing"
Cons: "how small and cramped the seating was"
Pros: "Price was reasonable."
Cons: "Checked bag price. Tall people should have the priority for aisle seats."
Pros: "Direct flight."
Cons: "Too many extra charges."
Cons: "I concur with so many other reviewers that charging for every single item that the carrier feels the customer will bare is quickly becoming a huge detriment to travel. That's why I try to fly Southwest as much as possible."
Cons: "rude stewardesses. uncomfortable seats. maintenance issues"
Cons: "I never took this light, as it was supposed to be canceled because my departing flight was canceled due to rampant overbooking."
Pros: "Rude. Didn't even notify us when they canceled the flight we only found out when we got to the airport after waiting in the ticket line. Didn't bother to reschedule us or put us on another flight"
Cons: "We arrived at 9:30am for our 11:55 flight, and promptly spent the next hour and a half JUST in a massive line to drop off our bag, even though we'd already checked in online. Then, after we finally got to our gate, we saw that all the other flights for Frontier were starting to get delayed or canceled, so of course we got worried about ours, but despite frequent checks with the gate agent, we were told no no no, don't worry, our flight was still going forward. It got delayed, then delayed again. Finally, it got delayed to 6:18pm, but we were told a crew was flying in from Chicago, so not to worry, we would DEFINITELY be on the plane and out of there by 6:45 at the LATEST. 6:45 comes, 6:45 goes, and no crew. The pilot has been sitting outside the gate this whole time, and we see him go up and shake his head at the gate agent. They announce: the pilot has timed out, he can't fly us anymore, even if we DO get a flight crew. But they don't cancel it! Oh no, not yet. They still have two more hours to make us miserable, why would they cancel the flight? So we sit there as they tell us they might be able to get another pilot from another flight don't worry they're going to try. Meanwhile, we can't self-cancel our flight and get a refund because they've already loaded our bags onto the empty plane without a crew, and they won't get individual bags back, so those of us with a checked bag are trapped at the airport until this awful airline finally decides to let us go. Finally, at EIGHT PM, they do announce that our flight has been officially canceled, and what are we offered in compensation? A refund, or a ticket on a (fully booked!) flight on their airline two days later. No hotel vouchers, no tickets on any other airlines. Just a refund of a ticket you bought months ago so that you can buy an astronomically expensive ticket at the last minute on another airline, or a rebooked ticket on an overbooked plane in two days that will probably be canceled, too. We took the refund, rented a car with the money, and drove overnight to get home instead. Anything was better than being anywhere near Frontier Airlines for another minute. Avoid this toxic waste dump of an airline."
Pros: "Did not purchase foid or drink. Entertainment not provided."
Cons: "Seat was in shrunken row, very tight with very little legroom and space. Seats were hard with no give. Glad this was a short flight, would have been very uncomfortable for longer duration. Bumpy ride the last half hour due to weather. Not happy with the expensive checked bag fee $30 for each leg of roundtrip."
Pros: "Lack of amenities okay if during the day. Liked the cost without all of the additional fees."
Cons: "Seats not reclining, made it impossible to rest. Will never fly Frontier again for a red eye flight."
Pros: "Efficient. Pilots had great takeoffs and landings. On time."
Cons: "No room. Seats hard. Frontier is Very money hungry during entire experience. Empty rows before takeoff and no one was allowed to move to empty seats. Flight attendant carried iPad to charge a passenger if they moved to a "premium seat". Just ridiculous. There is not a premium seat on the entire plane. Passenger behind me complained that she could not even cross her legs during flight. Comfort is based on an 11 years old small child."
Pros: "We were informed well of equipment delay. Boarded quickly after plane passengers deplaned and plane was cleaned"
Cons: "Middle seat I was given was tight and my knees, (I'm a tall woman ,) were banged against seat forward of me. Not comfortable plus no ability to recline seat was not pleasant."
Pros: "It was a good flight"
Cons: "Charged for everything. Even seats."
Pros: "I loved it! I had a window seat towards the end of the plane so I was one of the last people to board the plane but it was fine and I don't remember seeing the overhead bins stuffed too much."
Cons: "I had a very short flight from Charlotte to Orlando. The seats were fine but did not recline at all so it would be uncomfortable if you were a large person."
Pros: "My 'one stop flight ' going turned out to be a 24 hour layover at the stop. No adequate explanation was provided to me or the 30 others stuck there. We were put up at a motel and most of us had no toothbrush, comb, or diapers and baby formula to get us thru the next day. A vacation day is precious. Staff gave erroneous information. The flight back was uneventful except that we waited at the gate for 45 minutes and then moved to another gate. This airline charges for everything, even a beverage."
Cons: "The food vouchers were inadequate for the prices at the hotel bistro."
Pros: "I liked the price!"
Cons: "The seats were very uncomfortable, no leg room and they didn't recline."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The entirety of my flight. .most unprofessional staff imaginable"
Cons: "I didn't like that I was charged after buying my ticket from Kayak for checking in luggage. I was under the impression that I had paid for the a checked bag with Kayak since it was more expensive than going through frontier's website. Also seats were very uncomfortable and the tray couldn't even hold my drink let alone my laptop. Never flying Frontier again."
Pros: "Check-in went quickly and all personnel very courteous. I was assigned a middle seat and when I requested a window seat on the return flight, they were very accommodating. The cabin was very clean and the flight crew very professional and friendly. Both flights were on time, I might add. Would definitely choose Frontier for my next flight."
Cons: "I have nothing negative to say about Frontier."
Cons: "Both times flights were delayed by minor maintenance or paper issues. Seems Frontier is not so efficient at preparing flights mechanically and paperwise as other airlines. Or maybe they had to run to Home Depot for a part. Either way it seemed they should have anticipated the minor issues earlier rather than delay the flight."
Cons: "Comfort and space"
Pros: "The people who were suppose to be check me and my friend in were not on time they told us we could take a carry-on but then charged us both ways (to and from) the plan was delayed going and coming back workers were rude and not polite at all. Called customer service and emailed them they said they could not do anything about it. I even took picture and video of the workers coming in and out of the door playing on their phone sitting in the wheelchairs and they said they still could not do anything. When walking up to ask question the works had really bad and pissy attitude then after boarding we sat on the run way for another 2-3 hr after already being delayed but 3 hrs inside the airport they change you for everything don't give any complementary snacks or drinks"
Cons: "I didn't like it at all The people who were suppose to be check me and my friend in were not on time they told us we could take a carry-on but then charged us both ways (to and from) the plan was delayed going and coming back workers were rude and not polite at all. Called customer service and emailed them they said they could not do anything about it. I even took picture and video of the workers coming in and out of the door playing on their phone sitting in the wheelchairs and they said they still could not do anything. When walking up to ask question the works had really bad and pissy attitude then after boarding we sat on the run way for another 2-3 hr after already being delayed but 3 hrs inside the airport they change you for everything don't give any complementary snacks or drinks"
Pros: "Employees were terrific"
Cons: "Chairs were awful close & thin"
Pros: "The Airbus jet was nice."
Cons: "First time flying Frontier. Unaware of unusual fee for a small carry-on with Frontier. We took smaller backpacks instead to avoid the fees after calling the airline for absolute dimensions allowed. I know, buyer be ware, but Kayak should flag Frontier for customers. Disappointed in the anxiety created as I tried to check in for the flight the day before and only then learned about the carry-on fee at Frontier."
Pros: "No problems whatsoever."
Cons: "Traffic getting to the airport."
Pros: "Flight on time"
Cons: "Luggage was not on flight."
Pros: "I enjoyed the flight attendant. Extremely helpful!! I wasn't assigned a seat and she helped me get one that I had enough room."
Cons: "I didn't like the comfort... As in 0 comfortability. Not sure why since this is 2016. I don't the seats reclined at all. The arm piece that divides the seats would stay up."
Cons: "Inaccurate fee information led to a $284 flight being around $400. I could get a better flight without all the bullshit for $400. Frontier was poorly managed, lacked basic customer service, and had some "surprise" fees. Kayak: How about giving me back my hundred bucks?"
Pros: "Nothing. Will never fly with frontier again"
Cons: "1. You have to pay for carry on bags, more expensive than checking a bag. 2. When checking in and getting the option to pick my seat, all of the normal seats were taken and had to pay extra (not for an extra legroom seat) but just to be closer to the front of the plane. 3. The seats are uncomfortable 4. No drink service during the flight. 5. Ended up paying 2/3 the cost of the original ticket in fees the day of my flight. 6. Our flight was delayed 30 minutes, but the front counter said Nothing about it being delayed or what time what time we were boarding, updates, etc. If I could rate them less than a star I would. Terrible experience and terrible company ideas. I will not ride when them again because I don't want them to think this is acceptable service from the airline business. I hope they go out of business soon."
Pros: "The flight crew was friendly and attentive. The plane was immaculate. The pilots kept us informed and made a great landing. Every Frontier employee that I came in contact with was terrific. As a former stewardess and ticket agent I am very picky!!!! I loved my jobs with the airline and had great fun with the passengers/customers while giving good service. Lots of KUDOS to all the Frontier people that I came in contact with. Will fly with you again. The first and last time that I flew Frontier was in 1961 connecting from a United flight in Denver to Frontier going to United's stewardess school in Cheyenne,Wyoming! Sincerely, Pat Ollinger"
Cons: "The flight attendants were not cleared to fly to Charlotte (a domestic flight?!?!?!?) So we had to wait for another plane to land while trapped on the runway for new flight attendants. So unprofessional."
Cons: "over a hour delay because of pilot shortage"
Pros: "Seating and on time before landing"
Cons: "Nothing everything was amazing for and price is awesome .. For return flight"
Cons: "The ticket agent at the ticket counter was rude and not very friendly at 8:00 am. The PA system on the plane was horrible. You could not understand any of the announcements."
Pros: "They held the plane...THANK YOU!! Flight was quiet so we could rest."
Cons: "There were 3 of us who made the tight connection in Denver from Bozeman. My bag was the ONLY bag that was not delivered. Super annoying! There were only 2 people at the counter (once I finally found out I had to go back up to departures) and I was asked to put my information down on a notepad (because that's secure?!) and they would call me sometime later when they found my bag and she was very unfriendly about it, no eye contact and attitude. Did I mention that it was 5 am?! Unacceptable. Luckily the other woman working the counter offered to locate my bag and file the claim. (THANK YOU) Then I found out that was the only flight from Denver to Charlotte and I'd have to wait at least 24 hours before I got my bag back....Not a great experience with frontier. Customer service line---- TERRIBLE. I really would have loved to speak with a HUMAN BEING. Also the food selection on the flight was not good, would have been great to have an actual meal to buy with a flight that was over 3 hours."
Cons: "Did not appreciate the constant sales pitch for the airline credit card, it felt relentless!!! I could barely concentrate on my reading. Having not flown this airline before, I was also surprised and annoyed by the carry on and baggage fees. I thought I had found a good price for my ticket but that quickly vanished when you added these fees."
This flight was not full so we were able to get some space. I slept well enough through most of the flight. I used my iPad to watch Netflix I downloaded. All in all, I wouldn’t complain about the flight. It went well.
Cons: "I have never flown on spirit before in my live and never will again , and I fly about 50 times year."
Pros: "the crew was amazing and knowledgeable"
Cons: "getting off the plane could of been quicker but I dont think that has to do with the flight."
Pros: "Yes crew was amazing. The seating was uncomfortable"
Cons: "I understand that MASKS are required. But making toddlers wear a mask on the phone is just TOO MUCH!! It's hard enough trying to make sure they wear a jacket and keeping their coat on or shoes but making sure their mask is on as well the whole plane ride. How can us parents relax on the plane when we have to keep checking our toddler to make sure he/she mask is still on their face. It's very uncomfortable for them and they are too young to understand why they have to wear them and they are sitting for hours. Spirit should loosen up the mask rule for toddlers. I think if they are under the age of 6 they shouldn't wear a mask. 6 and older they are capable of understanding what's going on and being able to keep their mask on their face but expecting a toddler too (2,3, and 4 year olds). Is not happening. If they are uncomfortable they will take them off and we are supposed to relax on the plane not play mask police and make sure their mask stays on their face the whole flight. They will get annoyed and start having fits because they don't want it on and doesn't understand. COVID"
Pros: "They arrived on time and left on time, crew was friendly."
Cons: "Seats are small and hard, okay for short flights."
Pros: "There was one crew member prior to the flight that was very helpful."
Cons: "The captain wasn’t prepared, flight experienced a 20 minute weather delay yet we needed to return to the gate for more fuel. I’ve now had two flights with Spirit and both were delayed longer than 2 hours unnecessarily."
Pros: "Crew was wonderful"
Cons: "Overall room"
Cons: "More cushion in the seat. Flight was delayed in arrival of approximately an hour."
Pros: "Convenience and easily accessible"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "flight was delayed for three hours, not for weather but for a mechanical problems. i'm just happy we didn't have to wait on the plane or for the plane to be replaced"
Pros: "Seat was uncomfortable. Flight Attendants were unprofessional. It was typical miserable experience on Spirit."
Cons: "3rd flight in past month that’s delayed"
Cons: "To have flaps to hold the head on the seat"
Pros: "Absolutely terrible customer service and process from Spirit."
Cons: "The boarding process, the attitude of the staff, the comfort of the plane..."
Cons: "Left on time."
Cons: "Multiple delays. Better communication"
Pros: "Worst airline"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "They said someone called in the middle of the night using my name and they let them cancel my flight. No refund, no other flight. I had to walk over to southwest and purchase a $600 flight just to get to my destination."
Pros: "Fast, efficient, comfortable, cheap"
Pros: "The ease of bording pass."
Cons: "No water on flight."
Pros: "Got on the plane quickly. Crew good. Arrived early."
Cons: "The ticket price- way too much. No options for direct flight time. Had to pay for luggage."
Pros: "The crew was awesome!!"
Cons: "After buying my ticket, a day before boarding, I was charged separately for checking bags and carry-ones. Once I got to the airport, I was charged another $30 for the weight of my bag. I should have been made aware of these fees during the purchase of my ticket. Nearly $200 unexpectly taken away from my vacation fund. Soooo not cool. I believed I was getting a great deal, but in actuality I was being charged just as much as any other flight. The ride may have been better with another airline because the seats where compact, hard, and immobile. It’s definitely was my best experience."
Pros: "The flight itself was fine."
Cons: "The unexpected delay, overbooking and paperwork mishaps. The flight was supposed to leave at 8 am. Got an email at 5 am saying the flight was delayed two hours for no given reason. Then before we were booking they announced the flight was overbooked by 4 people. That added another time 10 minutes. Then when we’re on the plane it took another 20 minutes for paperwork that wasn’t done correctly. So with no weather issues my scheduled flight at 8 am didn’t take off until 10:55 am."
Pros: "No delays, smooth flight"
Cons: "The fees, no amenities. That’s why it is cheap."
Pros: "All went smoothly"
Cons: "Na"
Cons: "They didn’t let board no one at counter"
Pros: "Great staff."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Friendly staff"
Cons: "Pay for snacks"
Cons: "Delayed"
Cons: "I was uncomfortable the entire flight. I felt nickled and dined. I probably won't fly spirit again."
Pros: "The flight crew was very friendly."
Cons: "We waited in our seats after boarding for about an hour or more. We were 30 minutes late to Tampa. The seats didn’t recline which made relaxing for the flight and wait time difficult. Thanks Emily"
Pros: "Everything was just as I expected it to be - no surprises. You literally get what you pay for. Not a bad trip, just no frills."
Cons: "I went to the airport 35 min before the flight left with no luggage. I was told that Airline policy is to cutoff at 45 minutes and so they did not give me a boarding pass. I asked for alternative arrangements. They said that they can give me a ticket for a flight 48 hours later. They also said that they do not partner with other airlines so they cannot help. I purchased a ticket with another airline and left a few hours later. The staff told me that this is an everyday occurrence. Policies are fine but the staff should provide alternate solutions."
Pros: "on time , reached destination before the assigned time."
Cons: "should focus on keeping the seats clean .."
Pros: "The flight attendant gave me free water, but this was after I had already opened it and found out that it cost $3."
Cons: "I didn't know that I would be charged for my carry-on luggage, it was over $50 dollars each way, making my cheap flight of $100 total $190."
Pros: "The coffee was good. I also liked the drawing ... I was happy for who won the 5000 points ... Good incentive. : )"
Cons: "Seats were cramped and did not recline."
Pros: "Ride went very fast"
Cons: "Airline prices was kind of expensive."
Cons: "Delayed flight and small seats. Overpriced for luggage"
Pros: "I missed my flight"
Cons: "I can't get home till I get another ticket I missed my flight"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Thought I was gonna die. So many bumps shaking constantly"
Pros: "Comfort, space, travel was smooth. Didn't purchase any food but it looked decent. There was no entertainment provided"
Pros: "Basic. It was what one would expect from a Greyhound bus. There was no interaction between attendants and guests, no water or simple snack, no offer of blankets... Most unsettling : the website was malfunctioning, the check in machines at the airport were malfunctioning and the attendants DOUBLE CHARGED ME for the bags. Accessing someone by phone is virtually impossible and the upcharge for a carry on bag is obserd! The Spirit experience is the Greyhound Bus of the airways."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Had to pay for luggage"
Cons: "Checked in online the night before. Got to the airport 45 min before flight and they refused to print my boarding pass because they said my check-in didn't register. Was forced to miss that flight and pay $100 to get on the next one."
Pros: "we flew from oakland to ohare for the first time on Spirit airlines and we were very impressed. We left on time - or even a minute or two early - and landed safely. what more could we ask? The staff was friendly and the plane was clean. two thumbs up!"
Pros: "Cheap"
Cons: "Uncomfortable"
Pros: "Price too high. I won't fly Spirit again if I have to carry on a bag or check a bag."
Cons: "Sudden notice for flight delay near at originally scheduled boarding time."
Pros: "Boarding was fast and efficient."
Cons: "The food selections for purchase were poor."
Cons: "Never fly through this airline they take all you money when you buy your ticket and then again when you get to the counter I'm not surprised if they didnt charged me to sit down I'd rather flight through delta and pay extra than to go through them again I don't normally put comments.but my experience was so bad had too"
