Cons: "Seats not comfortable, took almost an hour for the luggage to come out and then came out on a different belt then posted."
Cons: "Was a great flight. Friendly staff, fair amount of space to be comfortable. Overall very nice"
Pros: "On time, no issues and because it was my birthday they upgraded me for free to the exit row. I am 6'6"...that is a big deal."
Cons: "Nada"
Pros: "Quick boarding, and fair service"
Cons: "Nothing super fantastic to say, but also no real complaints!"
Pros: "The crew was wonderful. They had a funny sense of humor and made the flight fun. This was my 3rd flight with Frontier in 6 months, will continue to fly you have affordable fares..."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 1 hour. I think it is ridiculous to charge customers for water."
Pros: "Before our trip, I read some mixed reviews, but honestly the experience was what I expected. The crew was really friendly and attentive, our flight took off and landed on time, so that was great."
Cons: "The seats were only so comfortable, and don't recline, no in-flight wi-fi, and everything needed to be purchased as extra. This was what I was expecting though, so I came prepared with my kindle and snacks purchased from the airport."
Pros: "Like everybody else I didn't like the carry-on/ luggage payment. But you can still take one personal item(laptop bag/purse) for free. Also with cheap air-fare, I really don't have to complain about anything! All the details regarding boarding pass, online check-in, baggage, seats, etc is mentioned on their website, so if you don't choose to pay attention before boarding the plane then its not airline's fault. My flight was delayed 3 times. But I was informed well in time through automatic updates I signed up for. Frontier's Google App is very helpful to track the flight status, etc. Staff was very kind and courteous. Airplane was clean. Thank you for serving chilled water. I appreciate it."
Cons: "Apart from the flight delay, I didn't had any trouble in flying with Frontier."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The flight had been delayed 4 1/2 hours. This was because they were waiting for another plane to arrive due to mechanical problems. The plane seating is cramped and no leg room. Nothing special about your flight attendant.."
Pros: "I flew for 3 hours and landed safely"
Cons: "Everything else, paying $40 each way for carry on, paying additional amount for selecting a seat, no one even offered a cup of water for three hours, can of soda 2.99. Complete rip off. Worst travel thus far for me."
Cons: "I was sitting near the front, (row 5) and wanted a cup of coffee. The stewardess served the seats in front of me total of 3 cups of coffee. When she got to me, she said there was not any more coffee available!!! So... why do you make less than one pot of coffee on each of your flights? This was really weird!"
Cons: "It was appalling the place was 100% full when we are in the middle of a global pandemic. Shame on the greed of Spirit"
Pros: "The staff were amazing. Great job by all!"
Cons: "Seats were tight and uncomfortable. The kids behind us banged their tray tables on the backs of our chairs for the whole flight, sick people couching non stop, nothing the airline did wrong just not the best overall experience"
Pros: "Price of ticket, inexpensive food on plane"
Cons: "Boarding process, bag drop took 45 minutes before getting to security, no help available for questions, gate closes 35 minutes before plane schedule to take off in comparison to 15 for other airlines - makes it easier to miss a flight and hard to plan"
Pros: "Seat was comfortable when the kid wasn't kicking it."
Cons: "I nicely asked the kid, about 8 years old, not to kick my seat. I explained every time he kicked the seat, he was also kicking me. His mother apologized, but she went back to her reading and it continued. !"
Cons: "Flight crew was rude to passengers, and during the overnight flight had a three hour long very loud conversation about their personal lives. Any passenger that approached them was treated poorly. The airplane floor and seats were dirty upon arrival. As with any low budget airline, the seats were uncomfortable and there were no entertainment options. Check in was a nightmare with insane lines and passengers barely getting their bags and check-in figured out before rushing to the gate. Recommend arriving three hours early if you don't want to wonder if you're about to miss your flight through the checkin and bag drop process."
Cons: "Very unorganized at check in! The lines were aweful, causing multiple people to miss their flights! Will never fly Spirit again!"
Pros: "Very nice crew. Smooth flight. No turbulence. Which was good for my grandson's 1st flight."
Cons: "Seats are too small and close together, no leg room."
Cons: "My flight got cancelled and Spirit did nothing to accommodate me as a costumer. I had to buy another flight home with a different airline for $600 . HORRIBLE"
Pros: "On the bumped flight they said I now had an assigned seat and could fly home. The $600 paid for my hotel and taxi, there and back to airport, and of that money had to pay an extra day for parking for my car home airport, the extra day for my pet, oh and the penalties for not giving 24 hours of my change of plans, but at least they offered some money for displacing me."
Cons: "Was not even asked to volunteer to up my seat, I was told that there was no seating arrangements, to find a seat, when I saw there was no seat and when I went to ask where I could sit, they said we had three flight crew members needing to fly, so since your involuntarily giving up your seat here is $600.00. Since there were two others who were displaced and screaming, I just left. I think that that was Spirit's plan all along."
Pros: "The low initial ticket price"
Cons: "Having to pay for a seat and baggage after buying a ticket. I got an earlier standby Delta flight on Friday so I skipped the first Spirit flight (which ended up being delayed anyway). On my flight back to Denver today, I found out in the terminal that my entire trip was cancelled because I missed my original outgoing flight. I was never notified of this cancellation through email or phone call. I was then asked to pay another $200 for a one way ticket back to Denver. Luckily I was able to fly standby on Delta again instead. Never flying Spirit again. Terrible customer service as well."
