Airline reviews
Pros: "Fast service and plane pilot was great staff too"
Cons: "Little old seat but really roomy compared to other companies"
Pros: "Fast service and plane pilot was great staff too"
Cons: "Little old seat but really roomy compared to other companies"
Pros: "An excellent crew makes the flight so much comfy."
Cons: "Everything was fine."
Pros: "Nice crew, better planes than Spirit Airlines!!"
Cons: "Multiple delays & gate changes! Arrived 2 hours later than expected- not good for my ride home who had to wait so long!!"
Pros: "Good snack selection & free wifi"
Cons: "Plane had TVs but they weren’t allowing us to use them"
Cons: "Checking in to the connection flight was horrible. The initial flight was delayed. Once we landed in Florida, customs was apparently backed up so far that we could not leave the plane. It ended up causing us to miss the flight. Jet Blue did provide a hotel and food voucher for the night."
Pros: "Perfect landing and great flight!"
Pros: "Jet Blue is our airline by choice. We have always had very good service from their staff and the only time there was a change because of weather, we were notified in order to make a change to our flight. We will continue to choose Jet Blue whenever possible."
Cons: "My only complaint with all of the airlines is allowing people to check their bags free at the gate when others have done the required thing of paying for checked bags. It is obvious that people are taking advantage if this. It would be great to see something more fair take place."
Pros: "I was impressed that the entire team seemed to care that we were being inconvenienced. It was a very nice touch that refreshments were being offered at the gate and that we were told when the next update would be. All updates were on time. In addition, our captain (Mark) came to the gate and spoke to all of us expressing his concern for what had happened to us. He also made a nice presentation on the plane and got us going right away. The free ear buds were also a great touch. Even though the situation was bad, you made a customer for life with the way your team responded to the situation. Well done!"
Cons: "Our flight was more than 2 hours late. :("
Cons: "Was not on time."
Pros: "Flight arrived at destination 20 min early. Crew was very pleasant. Plenty of leg room in upgraded seats."
Cons: "Tray table was broken, window shade would not stay closed. Seats were covered in old grey vinyl."
Cons: "Super long wait time and delayed 4 times, the last delay being once we were already on the plane and specifically for “Catering”."
Pros: "Leg room was quite good."
Cons: "My long delay 2 hours and 15 minutes"
Cons: "I was not emailed or texted a copy of my boarding pass. I did receive for trip from detroit to Boston but not the return trip."
Pros: "The second flight had a great amount of leg room. They have cable tv and that was very entertaining. The app is very easy to use and made downloading our boarding passes super easy. I carried both mine and my fathers boarding pass right on my phone!"
Cons: "No complaints!"
Pros: "Beverage and snack service. Overhead storage. Leg room."
Cons: "Delayed departure. Poor planning for boarding. No offer for customer satisfaction."
Pros: "Thoroughly enjoyed access to television. Comfortable seating."
Pros: "Really comfortable seats and great snacks for free"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Mother Nature gave us grief but the crew made the situation very tolerable. They were attentive and accommodating and were sincere when they apologized for the delay...that wasn’t even their fault!!"
Cons: "No WiFi or movies. Oh well...snacks were great."
Pros: "I flew JetBlue to and from Costa Rica, which included two connecting flights. All four of my flights boarded, took off and landed on time and in at least one instance, early! The staff are always great, free drinks and snacks, plus personal entertainment for all. One of my planes was brand spanking new - it was gorgeous and oh so comfy! I hope I only have to fly JetBlue going forward!"
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "The TV"
Cons: "They advertise free Wifi, couldn't get it to work at all. They did not offer everyone drinks or a snack. It was an early flight, a snack and water would have been lovely but didn't see that from the crew. They also didn't let my girlfriend and I sit next to each other after requesting so."
Cons: "Normally I don’t complain, but from the jump this flight was a nightmare. I fly JB all the time but this time was not nearly as enjoyable. I asked my attendant 2 times to buy headphones. She never brought them and maybe she forgot but She sat in the front on her phone the whole flight which was just irritating. After being delayed (for no apparent reason) Then having to sit for 20+ minutes because of a “jet bridge that’s too cold” (aren’t these made for the out doors?) this JB flight was less than satisfactory."
Cons: "The entertainment device failed to work. . Screen crashed ."
Cons: "Delayed flights."
Cons: "Aer Lingus, Did not operate this particular Flight . Equip Problems"
Pros: "The ticket agent was extremely courteous and helpful. She did her best to get our party of six seats near one another. She even came and found me several minutes after I left her station to hand deliver boarding passes to me."
Cons: "The on-line checkin process was miserable. I spent over an hour and a half attempting to checkin. I received numerous "invalid document" errors. I was unable to check in all members of my party at the same time. I was unable to check in any of the minors in my party due to the fact that I could not check in more than one person at a time."
Pros: "on time"
Cons: "Los televisores de nuestra fila no funcionaban y al llegar el vuelo tuvimos que esperar 40 minutos para poder salir del avión."
Pros: "The trip was a pleasant surprise being my first time with this company!!! Very pleasant and the flight attendants were excellent!!"
Pros: "I liked being informed by the pilots of rough weather and not to worry of any problems."
Cons: "Flight delayed"
Pros: "Overall a very good experience. Jet Blue is legitimately more comfortable than most other airlines and the boarding process was streamlined and effective."
Cons: "The only movie options were to stream your own via their in flight internet. Not a terrible thing, but other airlines offer more movie options, even on short flights."
Pros: "Both of my flights to Boston and back home to Detroit were wonderful! There were no problems or issues with the flight and the service was great!"
Cons: "Nothing!"
Pros: "In-flight customer service was great."
Cons: "My TV screen did not work."
Cons: "Hour late."
Pros: "Good flight was treated well and felt welcome with refreshments and snacks. The way it should be!"
Cons: "Unfair refund policy. We tried to cancel MONTHS ahead of time, upon early departure from our Peace Corps service. I don't feel airlines should have no refund policies starting from the date of purchase. There should be a window for refunds."
Pros: "From boarding to hospitality of all the crew members and the ease of the flight, It made it a great experience! I am not one who likes to fly but will definitely fly this airline again when the opportunity arises!"
Cons: "Terribly cold flight. When asked for a blanket, they wanted $5, which I couldn't pay because they wouldn't accept cash. 2 hours of complete misery. :("
Pros: "Comfortable"
Cons: "Flight was 3 hours delayed with little to no information. Terrible experi mce"
Pros: "Comfortable flight. The staff was very nice. They tried to reset the video system but some of the screens still stopped working after about 5 min"
Cons: "On this flight the Entertainment system offered free options. Unfortunately my video screen and about 20 others stopped working. flight was also delayed"
Cons: "Flights were delayed by four hours"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "3 hr delay due to crew rest issues. Alive can't manage their personnel and did nothing to accommodate stranded passengers"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Our crew was delayed in Philadelphia hours before our flight yet we wer not notified until 20 minutes before our boarding that we would now have a 2.5 hour delay"
Pros: "Crew was good on board."
Cons: "I was sent to wrong gate (the one printed on my ticket in Dubai was wrong), then I asked agent the correct gate...he sent me to another wrong gate clear across the terminal. When I got there, was directed (again) to the other end of the terminal...10 minute dash....and almost missed my connecting flight. Flight crew was nice....calmed me down but lady in seat next to me was rude.....not anyone's fault but hers :)"
Pros: "Service. Friendliness. Atitude."
Cons: "Gate at Logan had a rat running around. Flight entertainment worked sporadically - many seats had broken entertainment equipment that didn't work at all. Seats and armrests were dirty - my daughter and I wiped them down with handsanitzer and kleenex."
Pros: "I had a lost bag and the baggage people were some of the most helpful I've ever encountered. The flight was nice and well done, but in the midst of some hard bag stuff, your people were great. In particular. Jennifer Novak was the lady who helped me in Detroit and was outstanding."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "After 8 hours of overlay, the jet vlue fkight got delayed"
Cons: "Bags took too long to get."
Cons: "No prior notification of flight cancelation and, or delay. No one to pickup phone calls. Poor Networking and communication."
Pros: "food"
Cons: "Not enough leg room. Flights are costly enough and it just seems wrong to upcharge passengers for more legroom. Legroom should be standard outside of first /business class."
Pros: "Crew was very friendly"
Cons: "the seats are horribly squished and uncomfortable. It’s the only thing that makes the flight not excellent"
Cons: "Really packed together seats...more room. Crew spoke very loudly on plane...jarring"
Pros: "It’s nice to be in a plane fitted with modern conveniences. Great entertainment options."
Cons: "I didn’t have a window at all. The staff didn’t offer any snacks to us. My bag was the only one that didn’t make it while I had a plenty long layover."
Pros: "The crew was friendly."
Cons: "My reservations were messed up and I had to wait for another flight to my final destination."
Pros: "Nice smooth flight."
Cons: "Tiny seats. No entertainment offered."
Cons: "Seem that they turned off the air conditioning once we landed in the cabin got on the warm side."
Cons: "The flight attendant did not want to be there."
Cons: "The coffee could’ve tasted better."
Cons: "Todo excelente!!!gracias!!!"
Pros: "Nice to have more room in the premium economy section."
Cons: "Not even a smile from the crew and no help when asked. I don't expect Asian-style grace and class from an American airline, but I do expect good old-fashioned American friendliness, and there wasn't even that. Also hate the all-darkened cabin in the daytime."
Cons: "Notify the delay quickly"
Cons: "Our brand new stroller was damaged on our flight."
Pros: "Getting to my destination."
Cons: "Leg room, more room for carry on bags, coats, etc."
Pros: "New plane. Great movie selection. More stylish seats + bathroom. Overall very good and I think Delta has really made an effort to improve it's service. It's noticeable."
Cons: "Plane felt very dry compared to others. The electrical plug outlet jams right at around your knee level. Bread was cold and rock hard (seriously, can we not come up with a good solution for this?)."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The closeness of the airport in proximity to my house as well as the ease of finding your gate and boarding."
Cons: "There were so many passengers and such a small plane. There was NO leg room and the lady in front of me wanted to recline her seat, when I’m already claustrophobic to begin with. It was hot and the air above our head was barely working. There was one flight attendant who was blatantly rude to an elderly lady about her bags under the seat before the flight took off. To make this all worse, I had to suffer through all of this discomfort for over an hour for a 25 minute flight."
Pros: "Left ontime great breakfast. Good service No complaints"
Cons: "I loved the trip No negative comments."
Cons: "Very cramped for overseas flight Coffee is never hot, never served in timely fashion"
Pros: "Friendly crew."
Cons: "Flight was fine."
Pros: "Friendly greeting and goodbye.goog entertainment."
Cons: "Too hot, attendant did not know plane."
Pros: "Best part, no one sat in the seats next to me so I got to lay down and sleep. Staff was nice, food was fine."
Cons: "This flight was good"
Cons: "They ran out of overhead space we had to check a carry on bag. My video monitor didn't work so that was disappointing."
Pros: "The plane was newer and the flight itself was good"
Cons: "Poor service onboard. Flight attendants showed little care and were curt. Ordered halal meal but were given vegetarian. It was bland and tasteless. My wife ordered drinks that never came. The armrests were stationary adding to the discomfort. Unfortunate how the international service experience is so much worse than domestic."
Pros: "good job over all"
Pros: "Staff, service, options"
Pros: "Great service. On time departure. Early arrival"
Pros: "The ticket agents and other airport personnel were tremendously understanding and helpful! As a matter of fact, a few said this happens more often than it should, which is sad and shocking! Had it not been for their help this would have been much worse!!!"
Cons: "Our original flight included a connection that overlapped and needed to be changed. I brought this to the attention of Kayak/Aeromexico and the flight appeared to changed for our entire party of six. When we arrived to depart from Akron-Canton there were MAJOR issues with Delta acknowledging the change on their end. We waited at check-in for an hour and half before this was resolved. This also happened when we left Cancun and almost missed our flight. Our daughter also had to put on stand-by in Atlanta due to this fiasco. We spent another two hours working with Delta customer service trying to get her a seat on our flight back to Akron-Canton. Had we not been to Cancun airport extra early AND had our flight delayed in Atlanta we would have missed both flights. This was without a doubt the worse experience we have ever had!! It should have been caught and resolved before I ever had to get involved. I am very disappointed and unhappy with the service offered for the tickets we purchased. This was extremely stressful for my wife and kids and tarnished our vacation. This was totally and completely avoidable!!! You can and should do better to service your customers!!"
Pros: "On time take off."
Cons: "No comments"
Pros: "Call back service was best part."
Cons: "Booked ticket through venture card points. This meant that the email address and phone number to contact us in the event of changes was mediocre information. I was informed from Tripit that the flight was delayed, not by Delta. Reservation personnel took logical course of action to find new flight for connection that we could make because of delayed initial flight. I would recommend that they first see if there is an earlier initial flight that the customer could make, then look at finding later connecting flights. We found out about delay 8 hours prior, so we had plenty of time to get to the airport earlier. Total delay required me to take additional day off of work."
Pros: "Great service"
Pros: "As usual"
Cons: "Landing was a bit rough"
Pros: "My experience with Delta was excellent. Everything from checking in, boarding, flight, and landing was simple. Everyone I came into contact with was extremely helpful and courteous."
Pros: "The crew tried their best. The seats were average. The food ok."
Cons: "The entertainment is non-existent. Wifi wasn't even enabled. Four to five hours without ANY entertainment is totally unacceptable especially with teens and kids!!"
Cons: "Enhanced security procedures are onerous and caused the flight to be delayed 20+ minutes. Too many TSA staff at PLN doing too many things horribly inefficiently. Extra precautions (testing a Ziploc bag of cookies and several chocolate bars for explosive materials) did not make me feel safer or less inconvenienced by the theatrics of security."
Pros: "Short flight"
Cons: "Loud"
Pros: "I got off the flight at out side,but i forgot to carried my small bag .and then the Crew returned me the bag very soon.they were very kind,thank you very much."
Pros: "Direct flight"
Pros: "Crew was good. Flight was early."
Cons: "Poor booking experience."
Pros: "What I USED to like was the no hassle, no problems getting the tickets right through landing on the tarmac."
Cons: "I had a family emergency and because I had used a mileage ticket (as opposed to a paid ticket) I was told that I needed to give them 72 hours notice. I tried to explain that I had no control over the situation. It fell on deaf ears. I was so upset and frustrated that I could barely speak. My miles are now lost as the entire round trip ticket was cancelled and I have no way to regain all those miles that I wasted. It was the first time Delta did not come through for me and I must say, it's left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I couldn't believe that there isn't some provision (there is if I had paid for my ticket) and have lost all those miles that I use to fly Delta. So much for customer service."
Pros: "how short a flight it was!"
Cons: "nothing to complain about."
Pros: "Delta automatically rebooked our flight due to delays. We were rebooked on Air Canada"
Pros: "Delta Studio"
Cons: "Food choices were not appetizing."
Cons: "We were arbitrarily re-seated due to equipment changes, back and forth and lost our original seat selection even though we wound up on a plane with the original configuration. An international call wait of 1.5 hours was required to just get us back into the economy plus section that we had originally paid for, Amsterdam check-in was chaotic. In-plane staff was not at all helpful with our desire to get seats on the outside rows of our section."
Pros: "I liked that the plane was newer and the box snack was really good."
Cons: "Nothing really"
Pros: "When I finally was assigned a seat (after my "Runaround"), I got a slight upgrade: Row 12 was a roomier seat and I got a choice of fruit for a snack."
Cons: "Runaround by gate agent: The gate agent was located about 15 yards from the actual gate. I waited there 20 minutes before anyone showed up, to get a seat assignment. When she showed up, she said she would not give seat assignments for another 15 minutes, so come back then. When I came back she said she wasn't giving seat assignments; go see the person checking in boarding passengers at the gate. That agent said she couldn't give me a seat, but watch the monitor for my name for seat assignments, then come back. Why couldn't the first gate agent say that instead of giving me the runaround and wasting my time???"
Pros: "Flight departed on time, arrived early! Boarding was smooth and effortless. I absolutely don't mind paying a little extra to fly on Delta vs the "low cost" carriers. Thanks Delta!"
Cons: "Everything was great"
Pros: "The Airbus A330 business class seating was more spacious and comfortable than the Boeing 767 I flew to Paris from ATL."
Cons: "Free drinks"
Cons: "Spirit airlines is a joke. The seats are very uncomfortable, and they do not recline. Torturous."
Pros: "Seats were better"
Cons: "Bring back the back seat bags."
Pros: "It is a discount airline - and a good performer in that mix."
Cons: "I am not a big fan of the nickle and dimeapproach."
Pros: "All was great"
Pros: "Efficient/ cheap"
Cons: "The route...."
Cons: "Comfortable and quick"
Cons: "Not enough leg room. Water and small snacks not complimentary"
Pros: "NOTHING! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. LOOK ELSEWHERE."
Cons: "waiting in the airport for 9 hours for the plane to depart. originally scheduled for a 7:15am departure and the plane departed at 4pm. there was no message prior to advise customer of a delay in flight. Poor communication at the boarding gate. When we landed in Detroit we had to sit in the plane for 20 minutes for a gate to open. Pilot said this would take 5 minutes. the whole experience with Spirit Airlines was a disaster. i plan to look elsewhere in future flights."
Pros: "Left gate early and arrived early. Excellent"
Pros: "The fact we didn't sit on the plane for an hour after boarding on time so they can kick people off the plane for over booking like they did on the way back."
Cons: "I got an email at 8am saying my flight could be delayed but should show up on time. My flight was at 4:55pm so great start there. So I show up an hour and a half ahead of boarding, which is on the latter side for me. Security lines weren't very long, they just took their time which wasted everyone else's. I get through that line, look at the departure board - wait IT'S ON TIME?! They start boarding soon if it's on time and it's a further gate so I run down there and guess what? Delayed an hour. Okay, that's fine. Go grab something to eat, come back, settle in for a little bit, board - on my sweet way. Go grab some food quickly, come back - another hour delay? What the heck? I must've missed an announcement. Guess I should plug in my phone for the wait, I expected to meet some friends and potential clients layer that night, communication is key. I misplaced my charger, no big deal just went and got one of those power rods (highly recommend) and come back - ANOTHER HOUR?! That's pretty insane. One of my friends flying from Dallas that departed at 7:30 could be up in the air before I am. Step aside, give him a call to update, call potential clients letting them know I will be delayed getting there. No issue. Turn around - my goodness well what do you know, another hour! At this rate I call my hotel, because I can't lose my reservation if I can't check in on time. Hotel was the waterfront crowne plaza (another highly recommended item in this review by me). I plant in my seat, set my roots, meet a few nice people. Figuring I'd kill some time by meeting some great people. Met a family from Detroit and got some awesome food recommendations. Randomly over the speaker - we have another delay - another HOUR delay. Well this is just turning into a horror story, will I ever get there? Should I request a new flight? My buddy in Dallas departed 3+ hours after I was supposed to, and was up in the air already (he landed before me too). At this rate I cancel my meeting. We board, we take off, we land. Woman sitting next to me was nice. Plane didn't crash. Just landed in Detroit about 7+ hours later than expected. All in all, don't take spirit. Looking at prices they are the cheapest, not by a huge margin though. Pay the extra 70 or so dollars to take another airline. Even if it's $150 dollars more, take the other airline. They want to charge you 65 dollars for a carry-on. Their website was created by a 12 year old. Simply getting your boarding pass includes cross and up sells that make the process 10x more frustrating, especially when you know what you're dealing with on the second flight back. (By the way spirit if you can read this I'm a consultant for advertising, digital media, and UI for e-commerce - I can help you with your terrible website and the offers that come along with it) Just take the other airline, any other. It won't save you money most likely, but it will save you a lot of headaches, time, and embarrassment."
Cons: "The fact that a carry on is $50."
Pros: "The plane didn't crash."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 2 hours for "weather" even though we were going from Las Vegas to Dallas TX and there was no weather problems preventing other airlines from departure... I had a connecting flight which my layover was originally set for Detroit but it was switched to Dallas last minute... the seats were dirty and filled with food and debris from previous passengers, I had to wipe off my seat before I sat down... I think of all the flight attendants on my first flight only one was pleasant and professional as a flight attendant is expected to be... the 2nd flight was a little smoother in the since that the flight attendants were warm and welcoming however After a long day of traveling and flight delays I wanted to rest and I immediately noticed the seats did not recline not even a little, and the tray tables were the size of an iPad mini... it was very hard to get even a little comfortable for the almost 5 hour flight.. it was very uncomfortable.... then there's the baggage fee. $57 for a carry on I would rather pay the extra $57 to fly with a better airline... and to get to the airport and be told that they only accept cards for baggage fee no cash... who doesn't accept cash?? Especially in a place like Vegas. It was unbelievable.. but they conveniently had atm like machines that can turn your cash to card for a $5 fee.... it seems like they advertise the airline to be less expensive than others but in reality they're not!! They nickel and dime you with all of these fees to the point that you eventually end up paying the same price it would cost for a better airline only difference is you pay the same price and still get crappy service... I would never Spirit again. That was my first and last time, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone else."
Pros: "AVOID THIS AIRLINE AT ALL COST HORRIBLE"
Cons: "EVERYTHING. EVERYONE ON THE PLANE AND THE AIRPORTS HAD NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THIS AIRLINE"
Cons: "Didn't have anything to watch during the flight"
Pros: "Knowing it will never happen again"
Cons: "Not even free water while I was coughing."
Pros: "Not your average flight crew - personality plus!"
Cons: "Spirit seating - most uncomfortable in the industry"
Cons: "All their flights were delayed that day, so my red eye flight ended up "really" delayed. I waited 4 hours in the airport and the the flight was delayed by over 3 hours as well. Then after all of that, they offered not even water (for free) on their four hour flight. I understand delays happen - but consider offering a little something to your customers when this kind of event happens!"
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "Spirit canceled my flight the day before it was supposed to leave and gave me no other options as to how to get to my destination. It almost ruined my vacation."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Crew was very rude to one of the passengers seated behind me."
Pros: "friendlier attitudes and efficient drink service....patient classy crew"
Cons: "confusion of seating, seizure prone person with dog in single regular seat. gate drama, farting mega woman near me (true lol)...a ploy to sell drinks?? worked lol"
Cons: "Seats were not clean from previous flight; crumbs and wrappers present"
Pros: "Fast easy boarding."
Cons: "Crew would not let us move to open seats that would give more comfort."
Pros: "Smooth flight Cheap"
Cons: "Delayed an hour Spirit had to file for clearance to depart by hand"
Cons: "No food or water. They sell everything"
Pros: "Absolutely NOTHING"
Cons: "They were deceitful about baggage allowed so I ended up paying an extra $150 t only to find out I didn't need to pay for 2 bags and could not get a refund. The counter people were worthless, rude and could care less about anything. The flight was 2+ hours late because crew members were late. I will never fly Spirit again"
Pros: "Flight finally departed 6 hours late"
Cons: "Everything,I deserve my money back."
Pros: "Flight crew was nice and the plane was clean."
Cons: "Spirit's check-in process and practice of extorting fees for every little thing proved more annoying than the responding discount. Because the ticket kiosks at the airport were broken, I almost missed my flight, and because they've economized even on seat-back pockets, I had no where to accessibly store my laptop and books. I will avoid Spirit if I can next time."
Cons: "Cancelled our flight with almost no notice, after we checked our bags and were ready to go. Made the whole flight wait in a line for up to an hour for a voucher and the next spirit flight to LGA from DTW was 24 hours later, meaning we had to cancel our whole trip as we were heading there for an event. Terrible experience, horrible customer service."
Cons: "I paid more money during check in to an upgrade seat. Once on the plane, other passengers sat WHERE EVER they wanted. The staff had problems with accountability because seat numbers and ticket assignments were completely ignored. What good is a seat assignment if staff ignores the flight manifest. In the future I will no longer fly spirit because you do not value my upgrade. I feel you have unfairly taken my upgrade money only to find out that passenger's can ignore the upgrade costs and sit anywhere in the plane."
Pros: "My flight was cancel but they put me in a good hotel in movement for tomorrow"
Cons: "My flight was not crowded at all, which is very nice as a traveler. However the crew would not let some move seats until well after take off and cruising began. We were told it was due to take off and landing. If landing was so important, why did we not have to move back to the original seats?"
Pros: "Awful. Just awful."
Pros: "The crew was phenomenal with a medical emergency that was happening on our flight. Seating get space, HORRIBLE !"
Pros: "Excellent people helped me out to get my flight"
Pros: "Literally nothing. I mean, I guess the cold hard tile floors were shiny to sit in."
Cons: "They lied about volcanic ash to delay their flight because their crew was not ready to fly (they didn't have enough down time) meanwhile EVERY OTHER FLIGHT FLEW OUT. They would not give us a new flight. They would not give us food vouchers. No car rentals. No housing. We were stranded in a foreign country for 12 extra hours with NOTHING. On top of that they were rude, unhelpful, and after the 12 hour delay, DELAYED THE FLIGHT AGAIN. They would not help with anything. They simply blamed the "ash" that apparently didn't affect any other airline but Spirit. Never ever using them again."
Cons: "Baggage fees, food fees, turbulent ride, unfriendly staff at counters. Mandatory sign up online to check in and print passes. No organization when exiting plane quickly."
Pros: "It landed"
Cons: "Seats are jammed in, nickel and dime you to death"
Cons: "I'd give it no stars if I could because the flight never left. They delayed it due to weather, then canceled due to crew time expiring. All well and good, but the next flight out they had available seats on was 4 days later, on Monday. Since I had to be in a wedding, I kind of had to fly out, so I ended up paying $900 (!!!!!) on a last minute flight on delta. I'll never try to save money up front again. Spirit assured me I'd have a refund in 5-7 business days, which was clearly useful in helping me buy my ticket to actually get to my destination."
Pros: "Low fares"
Cons: "Baggage fees too high"
Pros: "It is a simpler approach"
Cons: "Flight delays are too long"
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "One customer service rep tried Diane P. Everyone else walked away and it was the worst experience I have had with any airlines. Just up and cancelled flight to leave people stranded. Give no options or hotel, dinner credits. I had to fight just to get the cancelled flight refunded. Worst airline ever!"
Cons: "Cancelled flight and offered nothing except a refund."
Cons: "very poor choices on the menu. Everything full of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives. Basically you offer junk food. Maybe spirit should consult with a dietitian for better food choices."
Cons: "Almost everything. The service was terrible and so where the people around me."
Pros: "Everything"
Pros: "Serves good friendly on time"
Pros: "We didn't die."
Cons: "From the comfort level to the attitude of the desk staff to the customer service when I attempted to call about my flight to the fact that Spirit's only excuse is that their flights are somehow cheaper--which, they really truly aren't--I have never had a worse flight experience in my whole life. In fact, once I discovered how terrible this airline is, I went online to discover that pretty much everyone feels the exact same way. How is this airline even in business?"
Pros: "I slept the whole time. So just being able to relax through it."
Pros: "nice flight, crew was very kind"
Cons: "This flight was nice, but the way Spirit did me for my not flight down will make me never to fly Spirit again. Very disappointed with this Airlines and the way I was treated."
