Pros: "Jet Blue planes are always great. Super clean and comfortable."
Cons: "They should have scheduled pistols for our flight. We had to delay the flight for two hours until they arrived."
Pros: "Jet Blue planes are always great. Super clean and comfortable."
Cons: "They should have scheduled pistols for our flight. We had to delay the flight for two hours until they arrived."
Pros: "Unbelievable for the price."
Cons: "Nothing bad to say."
Pros: "Everything including the seating, in flight service and entertainment."
Cons: "NA"
Cons: "2 hours late!"
Pros: "Huge leg room in coach. Free large bag of snacks and they didn't charge me for a snack box filled with chumous, bean dip, crackers, biscotti etc value $9. I thought Jet Blue was like Spirit, but its TOTALLY different. Not at all a budget level airplane or crew."
Pros: "Crew was nice and the flight was fine"
Cons: "I was quite shocked that the seat I had originally been put in the head phone jack and The Wholearea where the channel changes was falling apart. I was able to switch seats due to flight being not full but that would be annoying. I also was weirded out that they did not ha e touch screens. In general the plane just seemed old and dirty to me."
Pros: "Seats were pretty comfortable, very back of the plane but I had enough room. It was a pretty short (under two hour) flight so I slept, but overall good!"
Pros: "Good legroom"
Pros: "First time to fly JetBlue! Very nice and all that leg room. Next travel JetBlue it is!"
Cons: "Elva"
Cons: "Entertainment system malfunctioned for much of flight."
Pros: "On Time and smooth."
Pros: "I loved that the pilot on my first flight introduced himself and staff to the customers prior to loading the plane. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The leg-room! The leg room was a great surprise. No hassle with bags. Great snacks, wi-fi and movies for FREE! I was so tickled. I've never flown JetBlue. I thought it was just another low-cost airline that makes you pay for everything , what a nice surprise! I immediately gave you a shout-out on my facebook account. Best flight experience I've had in a long time. Thank you."
Pros: "Professionalism, on time, great customer service, courtesy always"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "I wish a non Carb protein snack were offered."
Pros: "Boarding and gate location"
Cons: "I’m absolutely not a cold natured person, however I was freezing and extremely uncomfortable the entire flight."
Pros: "Great snacks, nice plane staff."
Cons: "An electrical problem caused the plane to shut down. Rather than finding us new flights, we waited for many hours for the plane to be repaired. I was planning on making it to work by 9 this morning but the only folks who received alternate flights were the ones with connections :( in addition to this, the power shutting down on the plane was extremely unsettling. I have flown hundreds of times and have zero fear of flying. Today, I was terrified that the power would shut off mid-flight at any moment. I truly wish we'd been given another plane...i know that's tough. But something along those lines would have been better than stepping back on the one that shut down with all of us in it...after waiting for hours for it to be repaired. I do appreciate the $150 coupon though."
Pros: "Flight was on time Leg room was good"
Pros: "On time"
Pros: "Quick boarding, plenty of snacks and beverages, and smooth flight. Very roomy compared to other airlines"
Cons: "Some of the in flight channels were unavailable."
Pros: "The light snack was adequate. My husband is a big guy and sometimes has issues flying due to size, found seats to be comfortable. Also, Jetblue gave us us a $50 credit for the inconvenience."
Cons: "We left half an hour late. Also, was stuck on the tarmac for 2 hours due to thunder and lightening storm with a screaming child on board. Howeverer, weather is not Jetblue's fault."
Pros: "On time, friendly staff"
Cons: "Had to check my bag even tho there were a few spots still available."
Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice. The price (economy nonstop RT to Boston from Seattle) was excellent."
Cons: "JetBlue economy seats were uncomfortable or me on a long (almost six hour) flight. I had to get up and stand in back twice, as my rear end was so sore. Both flights were delayed 45 minutes to an hour. As this is my first time flying JetBlue, it didn't leave good impression."
Pros: "Extra space seating - it's nice to not feel so crammed in. Crew members were very friendly."
Cons: "Crew items stowed in the overheads in row 1 - had to stuff my backpack in there so tight it took two men to wiggle it out. That was on flight one. The next flight, there was no crew luggage/items in the overhead - everything fit very nicely."
Pros: "checking in could not have been easier"
Cons: "I wanted them to bring more coffee around"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Security was so backed up. I was not the only one who missed a flight, there were several people in line with me That also missed fights. They seemed very understaffed. When myself and other passengers asked them for help, they either ignore us or laughed."
Cons: "The seats hardly reclined and it was a long layover (maybe the airplane could if have been checked for problems before passengers got on). There wasn’t much of a choice amongst snacks and didn’t find any to be healthy."
Pros: "Friendly staff and service"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Entertainment was great! Great selection of movies!"
Cons: "The earbuds are terrible, I personally don't do well with that style - i would do research to see what the most universal type head phones are used because these were the worst. Also the control to my entertainment was on the right side, where the middle person kept changing my channels and volume. I would have liked for it to be on maybe the left side where no one else could touch it. (I sat at a window seat) The guy next to me fell asleep and so it was super hard to get to my controller (although there is one on the computer, he was still messing with it with his elbow)."
Cons: "The seat was hard. I could feel the bolts under the cushion."
Pros: "Service was excellent and we actually had leg room!!"
Cons: "World‘s tiniest airplane toilet. I think munchkins built this for other munchkins. And I don’t mean big munchkins, but real real small munchkins."
Cons: "The seats were small"
Pros: "Nice crew, comfortable seats."
Cons: "Delayed flight, broken TV and terrible boarding process. Frozen toilet chemicals."
Cons: "Plane was delayed by about 4 hours"

Pros: "I couldn't get in touch with the travel agency to reschedule my flight. The staff at Asiana and Jet Blue were not helpful at all."
Cons: "They missed checkin bags and told me to collect tomorrow"
Pros: "I live in Puerto Rico and because of the disaster we had very little or no communication. The airline said they left emails or called but we had no knowledge of it. But we did recieve an email to check in the day before the trip. That day we found out the flight was canceled and they couldn't find another flight to accommodate us. We almost lost our trip."
Cons: "I do not understand why Jetblue wanted to help Puerto Rico if they can't help thier own customers. This reservation was done on March and so was our cruise. I really think before you asume your customer received your notice that you talk personally with them especially under this condition."
Pros: "Lots of legroom, more than any other airline I've flown on. Free wi-fi, good snacks."
Cons: "Paying extra to check a bag."
Pros: "No delay"

Pros: "Leg room"
Cons: "3 hours delay"
Cons: "We had mechanical problems prior to take off. Our flight was delayed for a couple of hours. Once inside the aircraft, we were kept there for an additional 2 1/2 hours before take off. We landed in Fort Lauderdale 5 hours later than the scheduled time. We got home at 5:00 AM. Unexeptable!!!!!!"
Cons: "they put my luggage on a different flight that is not arriving for 2 more days now i have to miss my appointment at the blue lagoon, i have literally been up for 24 hours to get here & now i have no clean clothes to change into and no bathing suit for my appointment at the blue lagoon that i booked in APRIL this is SO NOT COOL i came here to see this country & spend money here but now i will be heading straight home the second i do get MY luggage, also the flight attendants were very rude"

Cons: "Always seem to be delayed"
Pros: "The flight was safe and efficient."
Cons: "The seats on the 787 Dreamliner proved to be uncomfortable AGAIN this trip. 2 years ago we flew the 787 overnight and the seats were the same. Hard cushions, tight seat pitch, and little room to move about."
Pros: "Almost 3 hours of delayed"
Cons: "Almost"
Pros: "Good flight as always with Delta. Sat in economy comfort, so of course the seats was comfortable. Flight Attendants were great."
Cons: "B.S. all the Delta Boarding groups. Geez, have you lost all common sense! C'mon... I understand the ill/med conditions passengers. How about 1 kid, then 2 kids then 3 kids, w/ cataracts, bladder probelems, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Paper, Plus 1, Plus 2, Main Cabin 1, 2 and 3."
Cons: "The coffee could’ve tasted better."

Pros: "All was good"
Cons: "All was good"
Pros: "Departed on time. Very courteous crew."
Cons: "Nothing."
Cons: "staff wasn't very friendly"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating"
Cons: "The baggage drop attendant was very unhelpful when I asked if she could help me sort out an issue (when I checked in online for the second leg of my trip, i paid for my bag then but they wanted me to pay again for my first flight) and just dismissed me and said she couldn't help, making me pay again for my bag. First time I've ever had an unpleasant experience with Delta."

Pros: "Nice flight attendants"
Pros: "Great service by crew!"
Cons: "Took too long to get on board."
Cons: "Separated from my wife even with pre-assigned seats. And One of the stewardess would not take my banana peel and has asked me to dump it into lavatory trash myself. She did not want to handle banana peel without a glove."
Pros: "The seats."
Cons: "In typical Delta fashion they boarded, deplane, board it again and then beat the plane. Blamed it on weather even though a full maintenance crew was beneath the plane in the entire time and, for the coup de gras moved a new flight an hour later 30 gate down. Classic Delta hopefully they'll be out of business in a year"
Pros: "Quick service, good information."
Cons: "Not applicable, it was a good flight."
Pros: "Great service."
Cons: "No power outlets. No WiFi. Limited movie selection."

Cons: "Ice weather and flight cancelled, but they waited until the last minute to cancel it."
Cons: "The vegan meal was not good"
Pros: "Fast, orderly boarding."
Cons: "These planes are too small. I’m average in size but women have hips and it’s not easy fitting into the seats. Why are they stacked so closely together? It’s ridiculous."

Cons: "Plane was small so carry on space was at a premium, but everything fit"
Pros: "It's Delta so I got miles"
Cons: "Cramped seats, no food. It's not what you'd expect from Delta. Exit row doesn't help, and forget the bulkhead if you're over 5ft 8in. Look for a flight with first class or a bigger plane, they have them"
Pros: "Great crew"
Pros: "The entertainment options and noticing the little touches that Delta is making to improve the brand and experience."
Cons: "Seems like there are legacy "attitude" issues with the crew. I sat on the aisle yesterday, and SEVERAL times I was bumped, quite rudely, by passing crew. In one instance, as they passed to pick up trash, they took two of my three items. They started walking on, and I tapped them as they passed to pick up the third. She brusquely turned and said: don't touch me to get my attention. No please; quite rude, and unnecessary."
Pros: "Nothing I can think"
Cons: "The seats selection"
Cons: "NO ENTERTAINMENT no snacks on the second flight after an hr 24 layover AND 52 minutes delay, seat near the bathroom which smelled horrible"
Cons: "The flight was delayed an hour and a half."

Pros: "The infotainment screen on back of headrests."
Pros: "What I liked: Sky Priority privilege came with separate luggage check-in queues and early boarding"
Cons: "What I disliked: Seats were too small No beverages or snacks offered No USB or power outlets available Three different groups board before Delta Comfort (e.g. those needing more time, travelers with children, first/business class) Didn't see the value compared to a less expensive main cabin ticket"
Pros: "Crew ok. Not much information given."
Cons: "Bad weather. Bumpy. Low visibility. I can understand. I am a diabetic. Held for hours. No opportunity to purchase food. Two days to travel to CIU from Detroit, then flights cancelled. Rented a car to get home."
Pros: "On line customer service was very courteous and helpful."
Cons: "We waited overnight in the airport without even an offer of accommodations, toothbrushes, meal vouchers, etc."
Pros: "Airplane was good, boarding was fast."
Cons: "Did not have the fruit and cheese plate."
Pros: "Crew was great."
Cons: "Plane was terrible. Not paying Delta prices to fly in a Spirit plane"
Cons: "Flight attendants were a little snobby and didn't treat all passengers equally, in my humble opinion (note: I was sitting in 1st class)."
Pros: "I was traveling with my young daughter (3 years old) and wife. The crew was really welcoming and accommodative of us. My little girl got the Delta wings pin (including a second one when she lost the first one), and was able to visit the flight deck. Extra kudos for my daughter being able to see a female pilot! :-)"
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Pros: "There was little interaction due to Covid precautions, however the crew was friendly upon entrance and exit."
Cons: "There was a child in front of me that should have had a mask on but was not enforced well."
Pros: "Everything was perfect, staff was friendly and helpful"
Cons: "I wish there was an option for WiFi"
Pros: "Easy flight, nice crew."
Cons: "Waiting in the plane for our gate upon arriving was terrible. It was very long and a bit cramped."
Pros: "Everything was quick and efficient."
Cons: "Little more organized with seating on the plane"
Cons: "The flight itself was adequate. Very barebones but not meets basic expectations. Not too much turbulence, smooth sailing once we got into the air. The flight was 3hours delayed due to inclement weather but I was extremely happy that Kayak emailed me to tell me that it was in fact delayed."
Pros: "Sun country’s ticket line is fast."
Cons: "Timeliness, deplaning, grace from flight attendants."
Pros: "The price was perfect and suited my needs. Very friendly staff. Thank you"
Cons: "I cant think of anything to complain about. My trip went very smoothly"
Pros: "Our flight was delayed over 2 hours and there was ZERO notification from the airline - we found out once we were at our original gate. Paid substantial amount to check bags and for seat assignment......after choosing seats when flight was booked online! Crew and flight were fine but will not fly Sun Country again. Too much hidden BS!"
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "Not crowded"
Cons: "Fees for bags"
Cons: "Flight was severely delayed causing me to incur additional travel expenses and diminish the time at my destination with family. Additionally when I found other flights on multiple airlines that would help me keep my plans on track, Sun Country would not entertain any of it. Their response was they do not have partnerships with other airlines (a common practice when I have travelled, United, Delta, and the delay or cancellation is their fault) What kind of airline or company squanders such an opportunity to not only put its best foot forward, but doesn't work with their fellow business community."
Pros: "Friendly crew. Pilots kept us updated on potential turbulence and weather- but it all went well."
Pros: "Attendants were nice."
Cons: "Seating is too cramped."
Cons: "System failure and was not expecting a sun country subsidiary."
Pros: "Mediocrity is really the aim of an airline this tier, correct?"
Cons: "The hour delay, on top of an already 3-hour layover, in a terminal that wasn't even connected to the rest of the airport. The least you could do in a situation like this offer complimentary snacks to make up for it."
Pros: "Smoothest flight in years"
Cons: "Booked me 25d, when the rows. Stop at 24.. So that was an issue. No real food on plane. Gate change and delayed flight. Bumpy ride in."
Pros: "Zero"
Cons: "That they did their best to shut us out."
Pros: "the flight was fine."
Cons: "you charge for EVERYTHING including water?! really? and the food--- wow! expensive and not good. a little bitty half a sandwich Jimmy John with wilted lettuce... baggage fees? ridiculous!"
Pros: "the crew on board was great. no food options offered. no entertainment. are you kidding?"
Cons: "the flight was delayed so the boarding that was to start at 8:15 started at 9:00. We were all called to board within a few minutes, only to hurry up and wait in another line outside the plane for like 10-15 minutes before the crew actually let us board. The plane left the gate and then sat on the tarmac in another line where over 30 plus planes were also waiting to take off. WE SAT THERE ON THE TARMAC FOR OVER 2 HOURS. Not that Sun Country was at fault, but we should have never been able to board, knowing that the airport was that backed up. JFK is notorious for doing this to customers."
Pros: "We were giving complimentary drinks and the first class meal because there were only twelve passengers and none of us upgraded to first class so they had 12 Meals available. They really did make up for the bummer that the 5 hour delivery caused. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. They even let us go sit in the first class seats which were very comfortable"
Cons: "We had a unexpected 5 hour delay due to a mechanical issue"
Cons: "Never enough space"
Pros: "Overall it was mostly a good experience."
Cons: "We were skipped for a drink refill and it's always annoying to have a cup with mostly ice."
Pros: "The airplane seats were clean and worked!"

Pros: "Very friendly, efficient , clean, comfortable and reliable"
Cons: "Which there was more flights to Boston vice versa"

Pros: "On time and friendly in airport staff"
Cons: "Attendants seemed a bit stressed Minneapolis to Ft. Meyers."
Pros: "Great, easy pilot. Smooth ride. Good landing."
Pros: "I liked that it was a direct flight and you could pay just a little extra and sit where you wanted. Because the ticket was so cheap to start with, I was able to do this. I paid extra for an exit row and it was worth it! Plus not at all crowded, unlike most of the flights I've been on recently."
Cons: "The seats are very close together!!! They don't provide any snacks, but if you know this going in, you can be prepared."
Pros: "The smooth boarding and friendly flight attendants"
Pros: "Both flights I took were non-stop and were the smoothest flight I've been on. Everything at the gate counter ran smoothly and the workers were friendly and helpful."
Cons: "If I had one complaint, the flight attendants were a little less friendly. They weren't rude, but they weren't very outgoing either. I know they have a tough job dealing with selfish people in a confined space, but I guess I would have liked a little more "warmth" from them."
Pros: "Being able to board first because I am retired military and had no carry on luggage."
Pros: "Flight attendant in first class was outstanding. Most attentive I've ever seen. This alone would lead me to not think twice about booking with Sun in the future."
Cons: "Small portable video devices. Boarding process -- made announcement that final boarding was being completed and plane was leaving which prompted me to run to the gate; 20 minutes later the boarding process was still in progress."
Pros: "Clean plane, friendly staff, and comfortable seats"
Cons: "Meals and drink a little expensive. Digital player was not available. Sold out before it got to my seat"
Pros: "Price made it worth it! Boarding was quick. Staff was pleasant."
Cons: "Seats did not seem to recline and plane was a little old feeling."
Pros: "No complaints. Food and entertainment available for purchase. Crew competent."
Cons: "Had to pay for checked bags...only had 1 bag per person."
Pros: "Seat arrangement."
Cons: "Two toilets for more than 100 persons. Crew members are rigid and not flexible."
Pros: "All went well"
Pros: "All staff were helpful and went the extra mile"
Cons: "Web site not working for on line check-in and seat assignment."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything."
Pros: "On time and direct flight"
Cons: "Had to CALL airline to get seat assignment. No was to check in online otherwise."
Pros: "The crew was very kind and checked many bags for free, and once the plane arrived, they were very efficient."
Cons: "The plane was 3 hours late and we didn't get any complimentary snacks. I travel on a budget, and only budgeted snacks to last until 11:15 pm, not 2:15 am."
Pros: "Amazing: left & arrived 156 minutes early. Way to go!"
Pros: "I don't know if I will ever rate "comfort" more than "good", given that you're crammed in like sardines (just like any other airline - in Coach)."
Pros: "Overall the trip was excellent! Service, timeliness, staff, ... All excellent!"
Pros: "-Speed of service -Food at the terminal -friendly service of flight staff"
Cons: "They board early!"

Cons: "Very bumpy flight , but know that is out of control sometimes"

Cons: "Was a great flight. Friendly staff, fair amount of space to be comfortable. Overall very nice"
Pros: "Crew was fine. Nothing exciting or bad."
Cons: "The boarding process sucks. Highly disorganized. Everyone in line near me was confused. There was a line of people even though she hadn’t called the first boarders yet. She called disabled, military and families with children under 2 and family boarding. There were 30+ people in line. Then the masse"
Pros: "Crew was friendly and fun! Quick boarding!"
Cons: "Seats are not that comfortable."
Pros: "Price"
Cons: "Flight was delayed 1.5 hours"
Pros: "I liked that with the super short layover I didn't have to change planes. That made the trip less stressful."
Cons: "Same as above. It was the same plane."
Pros: "Low cost"
Cons: "Flight delays, little info passed to passengers"
Pros: "I have a walker and it was stowed with the strollers. Was available soon after I arrived. Flight left on time and arrived early. Price was great, even with a few add ons."
Cons: "WIsh they had pillows. I need lower back support and had to use my son's sweatshirt. I will know next time."
Cons: "Poor check in experience"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything about the travel. Flight was delayed"
Cons: "Too bad"
Cons: "No complimentary stuff issued"
Cons: "They say they are giving you a bargain but with fees it's absolutely the same as other airlines but with far more uncomfortable seats and no amenities. Will bnever fly never fly frontier again."
Pros: "professional staff. very smooth and safe flight."
Cons: "for safety i didn’t bring credit cards. I could not buy snacks. The seats were small and uncomfortable which I had too seat in for four hours. Only one toliet. It was very difficult to get of the seats to use the one toliet. I t was just too jammed."

Pros: "Price"
Cons: "Only 1 cup of water. Aisles very narrow."
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: "The flight crew was rather funny. Only other positive was getting to my destination."
Cons: "Uncomforatable plane, no reclining seats, $40 dollar charge for a carry on,"
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: "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: "On time, nice seats"
Cons: "My flight was supposed to leave three hours ago and we are still sitting at the gate. They boarded the plane, told us they had to "reboot" the computer and had us all get off. We have only been given information once since we deboarded and that was "we don't know what's going on""
Pros: "Personnel were all friendly and helpful Seats were comfortable with plenty of leg room Very good value for the mobey"

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "I really like the reasonable prices and the direct flights to certain destinations."
Cons: "I don't like the fact that your charged and extra fee for your bags at the gate. I also think Frontier should at a minimum serve snacks and a drink for free."
Pros: "Inexpensive ticket prices."
Cons: "Officially the worst chair I have ever been seated in. Not just on an airplane, the worst chair I have ever had the displeasure to sit upon. Even when the plane was not as full, there was no way to get a single moment of comfort."
Pros: "Flight attendants were kind and informative, there was still some leg room even though they obviously squeeze seats in. After the delay, they were quick to reschedule any missed connecting flights."
Cons: "We waited a half hour after boarding time to board, and then waited on the plane for an hour before beginning takeoff. Nothing available to eat or drink besides water or for purchase (I realize this is budget, but this always turns me off). Seats don't recline."
Pros: "The flight was faster than the delay"
Cons: "2 hour delay, crew was aggravated."
Cons: "My suitcase was broken into things are missing and frontier operator didn't seem to care said I wasn't missing enough to warrant a claim"
Cons: "There were extra charges for the seat and my carry on. I will never fly Frontier again. No one likes hidden fees. What good is paying for a ticket if it doesn't even include the cost of a seat?"
Pros: "Checking in , no machine involved."
Cons: "Seats don't recline. No free soda. Excessive baggage fees. Charge for seat assignment."
Pros: "Boarding was quick"
Cons: "Charge for a cup of crappy coffee...really? Is it even worth your time to charge $1.99. I'm not sure if I missed it when buying my ticket originally, but the seat should be in the actual price of the original ticket. When you go to check in was when I first noticed. Doesn't give you much of an option at that point since you can't stand for the flight. Being honest also includes being forthcoming at the start and having this know at first when booking as a part of the flight cost would be a good start. I may have decided to go with a different airline if I would have known."
Pros: "I made it to my destination."
Cons: "Fees to have a seat on a plane you already purchased a ticket for. Carry on fees are ridiculous! I will never fly Frontier again nor will I recommend it to anyone... Ever!"
Cons: "My flight departed over an hour late, because the airplane arrived long after the scheduled departure time. I was just able to catch my connecting flight."
Pros: "Great flight crew. Great cost."
Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable and wouldn't be suitable for long flights."
Pros: "Terrible experience when we arrived at las vegasc in a cab. There was no one at the counter to assist us. We both needed wheelchairs to the gate. We had to walk inside to the counter. both of us use electric wheelchairs when we are at home. Walking is very difficult and Frontier was not there to assist us at the curb. This one experience ruined flying on your airline. Sandyntx"
Pros: "Flight was on time"
Cons: "Not offer nothing to drink I was coffin and it felt terrible"
Cons: "Boarding was a bit chaotic on both outbound and return flights. The check-in counter in San Antonio was less than desirable--the staff were very unfriendly and unenthusiastic about their jobs. It is very disappointing there is a charge for EVERYTHING with your airline."
Pros: "It was on time. The crew was generally friendly. The take off and the landing was pretty smooth."
Cons: "I didn't like the cramped feeling. I was in the aisle so there was nowhere to rest my head."
Pros: "HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE FLIGHT CREW VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.WOULD HESITATE TO GO ANY WHERE I NEED TO GO ON THIS AIRLINE. WILL USE KAYAK TO PLAN MY NEXT TRAVEL."
Pros: "Crew was great and we were right on time. We left on time."
Cons: "Check-in took half an hour. Seats are uncomfortable. Seats can't be adjusted. Tray table is minuscule. Drinks and food cost extra. Baggage fees are ridiculous."
Pros: "Not much. Will not fly this airline again."
Cons: "Extra charges for everything. Even water and coffee weren't free. Seat charge, what is that ? Overheard a fellow passenger say he felt as though we were treated like cattle."
Pros: "Great price, great service clean comfortable"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Great service"
Cons: "No beverage"
Pros: "Low cost"
Cons: "Seats were not comfortable and didn't recline , cost for carry on bag. No complimentary beverages offered."
Pros: "It was ok, male flifht attendant super friendly"
Cons: "The seats weren't that comfortable for my husband due to his height."
Cons: "Would have been nice to be able to recline the seat a bit. To straight up"
Pros: "Early arrival"
Pros: "Everything !!! Everything was perfect as usually!!!"
Cons: "Checkin in way terrible at airport No organization and long lines Even though we checked in online"
Cons: "Seats are small n too close together"
Pros: "Nice cabin crew"
Pros: "Nice crew"
Cons: "Every time I've flown with spirit there's been long delays. I understand it's a cheaper flight but they should still respect people's time a little bit more than they do. At least compensate us with something for the time we lose."
Pros: "Flight was smooth especially considering the fact that it was raining and we flew in the clouds for 45 minutes"
Cons: "Besides the fact that I had to pay to reserve my seat I was charged 2 different amounts for the same seat and the flights were similar in length. Not sure why the difference."
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."
Pros: "Nothing"
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."
Cons: "I missed my flight because on of the spirit agents made me wait at the wrong gate and then spirit team agents took so long to work with me."
Pros: "flight was just fine"
Cons: "I paid for a seat upgrade I did not get... looked like first 2 rows were the large seats I was in row 8..."
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."
Pros: "No entertainment on the flight and we didn't have any food. Flight was a direct flight. Everything went smoothly. Actually arrived a little earlier than scheduled. Didn't have to wait too long for our luggage."
Cons: "Spirit canceled my first flight due to "weather", although every other airline was still flying (including a Southwest flight to the same destination). They sent us to stand in a LONG line with a single woman yelling our options to us. I opted to get rebooked on the same flight tomorrow, stayed in a hotel (paid for out of pocket). The next day, I arrive at the airport and it's canceled again! This time they don't pretend; it was due to lack of crew members. Furious, I booked with Southwest and got home. At the gate, I spent around 35 minutes on hold and then another 25 on the phone to get a partial refund. This was by far the worst experience I have had with any airline ever."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "They cancelled flight with no help with an alternative same day arrangement"
Pros: "The crew on board were so friendly and caring. Debora made my flight really special. She helped me and had the friendliest face!"
Pros: "Direct flight"
Cons: "Lack of customer service and attempt to charge for every little thing possible."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Worst airline ever"
Pros: "The boarding was wuick and easy"
Cons: "Unexpected luggage prices. All food and drink had to be purchased with a debit or credit card. Flight crew was rude to the passengers."
Pros: "The boarding was fast."
Cons: "Plane was old. Seats were uncomfortable and had barely any leg room."
Cons: "I couldn't make that flight and called ahead the airlines to let them know. But a day after found out my return flight has been canceled as well. Terrible terrible experience. Had to buy a return flight again."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Over 300 Cancelled flights in a month. NO explanation. I received no email or phone call about my trips. Extra charges for bags. This is simply the worst airline to book. I can't even comprehend why it even exists."
Pros: "Great flight and price for tickets"
Cons: "Can't complain"
Pros: "Smooth without delays"
Pros: "cheap fares"
Cons: "3 dollars for a Coke"
Cons: "Seats arms are constricting on sides. Doesn't allow much movement to turn comfortably too one side."
Pros: "Everything!! FLIGHT was perfect.."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "They refunded my ticket"
Cons: "Had to find another flight"
Cons: "There was a passenger that was extremely sick on the flight. She started throwing up on herself, the two passengers that were next to her and all over the floor. The crew had her and the two passengers that were with her, move directly behind us where she continued to vomit the entire 4.5 hours. the amount of vomit and the smell was so bad the crew had to throw fresh coffee grounds all up and down the length of the aisle of the aircraft. I understand these situations happen, but to move this person from her seat to be directly behind us was terrible. Seats were extremely cramped, mini tray table and no seat back pocket."
Pros: "Boarding was quick. Deboarding only slightly less so. The flying was smooth."
Cons: "I'm glad my plane tickets were gifted to me because it was not worth the price. I'd found flights around the same price range that include carry-on luggage and sometimes even a checked bag, reclining seats, and complimentary non-alcoholic beverages. Spirit bombards you with ads about how every inconvenience supposedly saves us money. It doesn't. It's hidden costs. 99% of people are going to need more than a backpack when they fly across the country. And it doesn't go towards service either. Check-in kiosks didn't open until an hour before the early morning flights, despite the instructions we receive. Deboarding is chaotic. Flight attendants zoom by before I can throw away my trash or ask a question, and they don't help customers with overhead storage."
Pros: "Newer plane from Detroit to Ft. Lauderdale."
Cons: "passenger behind me constantly allowed the tray table to fall, they were really tall and their knees were constantly banging into the back of my chair. I wanted to switch seats with the person behind them so that passenger could feel how they were treating me"
Pros: "The crew was friendly. Our pilot was awesome, told jokes and had a great sense of humor. We left on time and arrived early. Would definitely fly Spirit again."
Cons: "Size limit for personal item is too small. I could have easily fit my "oversized" personal item under the seat in front of me."
Cons: "I DON'T LIKE BEING CHARGED $65.00 FOR A CARRY ON BAG THAT TWO MONTHS EARLIER WAS FREE. IF YOU WANT THE EXTRA MONEY, WHY NOT JUST PUT IT IN THE PRICE OF THE TICKET AND QUIT PRETENDING HOW INEXPENSIVE YOUR AIR FARES ARE."
Cons: "Wouldn't let me board my flight even though I got the almost an hour before take off then told me I had to pay $100 to catch the next flight. I will never got with spirit airlines again."
Cons: "Sudden notice for flight delay near at originally scheduled boarding time."
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "Dear Spirit Airlines, First, $45 for a carry on bag is absurd. It was not made clear when purchasing the ticket that I'd pay almost $100 extra for my round-trip. Second, this is the 2nd time Spirit Airlines has cancelled a flight due to weather when other airlines did not cancel similar flights. I have only flown Spirit twice, so 0 for 2. I will not fly Spirit again. The earliest I could be rebooked for my cancelled Saturday flight was Tuesday which was unacceptable since I had to work Sunday morning. This whole situation meant I had to rent a car with a stranger and drive all night from Detroit to NYC. Spirit refunded half my trip, which is appreciated, but I still incurred an additional $100 in rental car expenses, gas, tolls, etc, even with splitting the cost with the stranger. Not to mention losing an entire night's sleep. I am not a wealthy person. My rent was just increased and I am a teacher and actually really struggling financially this summer. I feel ripped off by Spirit with the bags and with the flight cancellation and only partial refund. This vacation, which was already a stretch financially, turned into a financial burde. Spirit advertises as being a bargain, but you have all these ways of trying to squeeze money out of people. Being cancelled twice almost makes me wonder if somehow it's to Spirit's advantage to do so. You try to offer credits to people instead of refunds so maybe you get away with that and that works out in your favor. Regardless, I won't fly Spirit again and will certainly advise friends and family to avoid the trouble that seems inherent in traveling with you. Third, your website window "loading something awesome" is silly and annoying. If someone actually reads this, thank you for your time. I will be leaving similar reviews on other websites. Sincerely, Christy Hayner"
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "Flight left an hour late, I am 6'5" tall and there was no option to upgrade to a seat with more leg room both of my knees are bruised from the constant rubbing of the seat in front of me on my knee caps. You have to pay for any food water snacks that you'd like. The flight was way oversold as well"
Cons: "Charging $90 for round trip carry-on case that I am putting myself into/out overhead compartment is preposterous. First being one hour late to takeoff then flying like maniacs and arriving only to sit in the field for another half-hr, waiting to be allowed into the port - is not professional. The only function the crew performed, in both directions, was to push their outrageously priced merchandise and credit card. No other service was offered. Chairs are instrument of torture - the knees of the passenger behind me were kicking my back through the fabric, way in and out. Don't fly Spirit Airlines!"
Cons: "NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT MY CARRY ON BAG IN THE OVERHEAD WITHOUT BEING CHARGED. WHAT'S NEXT, PAY TOILETS?"
Pros: "A cheap flight that got us to our destination safely and on time."
Cons: "Bring back a free soda and snack. It's the least you can do."
Cons: "I arrived 45 minutes before my flight departing at 4:13Pm from detroit, making it just in time after having a flat tire. Before I even opened my mouth the desk person, Betty, said "I can see you're in a rush and I don't rush for anyone." I missed my flight. They couldn't reschedule me until the next morning. I went to the Delta desk, they got me on a 5:36 flight. I will never, ever book a flight on spirit again. And I will tell everyone who will listen not to fly them. You are THE WORST AIRLINE and your employees are JERKS. Thanks for nothing."
Cons: "There was no flight from Detroit to NYC, it was cancelled and in the end 7 of us got together and rented a van to drive there. The cabin staff and ground staff were terribly unhelpful and generally seemed to not have the training to deal with a situation like this. Not a single person felt compensated or helped out in any way. Worst flying experience of my life and will never fly Spirit again....neither will anyone else I know."
Pros: "Shitty airline"
Pros: "Purchasing my ticket from Kayak was easy and quick! But actually flying Spirit was a horrible experience. There was a delay without explanation regarding my return flight. The planes were old and during take offs and landings seemed to be on the verge of falling apart. The staff was rude and seemed like they were not confident in the planes abilities either. Overall, as a first time Spirit flyer I have no plans of flying with them again. Similarly, now I know why people always fly Delta!"
Pros: "* Cost * Being on-time (no delays to and fro)"
Cons: "A complimentary soda and snack would be nice."
Cons: "terrible planning. terrible service. ridiculous airline."
