Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "I was given an exit row seat since there were so many open seats and it reminded me of flying before 9/11. I’m 6’6” and pre9/11 I was always ushered to an exit iris seat. So it was extremely thoughtful of the check-in agent to do that for me."

Pros: "The crew was very kind and helpful."

Cons: "I spoke with someone a month in advance and reserved seats, and booked a pet. The night before our flight I requested wheelchair assistance online. When we arrived they didn't have us down for assistance, didn't have record of the dog and had switched all our seats so we no longer were together or had an aisle. They rectified as best they could and were, again, very friendly. Just somehow miscommunication between the lines."
Pros: "I am a flexible, thin, 5'0" person and had a hard time sitting on that plane! Ugh. I don't know how bigger people make it through the flight."
Pros: "Crew was top notch"

Pros: "I paid for first class and was pulled out of line and told was being moved not asked this happens so many times when I fly alone is embarrassing and not comfortable as I pay the same as them they should have done earlier. also first class wasn't much different as people were coming up non stop for bathroom not sure why.... not to be picky but is not like that on other"
Pros: "Military, Alaska airlines was awesome allowing active duty members to bring up to 6 bags up to 70lbs each witch helped us a lot since we when transferring to another state. Boarding was fast, and the crew was very nice and helpful."
Cons: "The food was delicious, but I couldn't give a five stars just because I had to pay for it. 6 hours flight it was necessary to eat something, it was just $6 and drinks were free. So I give a 4 start for that reason. Entertainment was good if you bring your own tablet or laptop. Some shows are free and some you have to pay for. They also had tablets for rent for $10. Confort, it was a pretty big plane. I had the bad luck to get the seat in front of the emergency exit so I couldn't reclined my sit but it wasn't that bad."
Pros: "Smooth flight. Crew friendly."
Cons: "More leg room"
Cons: "The exit row door in 12B kept making a high pitch squealing noise...very unnerving"
Cons: "Delta Comfort isn’t so comfortable. Seats are too skinny."
Cons: "The website could work for starters"
Pros: "The entire flight was excellent, on time, great friendly crew, edible food, movies and options were great, perfect in every way. It was a little chaotic at flight loading on extra security, but I assume it could have something to do with it being on 9/11 and it was ultimately bound for NYC."
Cons: "I honestly cannot think of anything."
Pros: "Prompt boarding and departure."
Cons: "Refreshments and up to date airplane. Plane seem outdated and very loud. Flight attendants could use a friendlier demeanor"

Pros: "Fine, courteous"
Cons: "The crew was terrible & rude."
Pros: "Nothing."

Cons: "The comfort of the seat, the food"
Pros: "Movies"
Cons: "Everything else"
Pros: "Took my carry on & checked thru Edinburgh. Now I have no meds, clothes or glasses. Very wrong. Others out on larger carry Ins."

Pros: "Easy boarding, helpful crew, on time, informative pilot"

Cons: "Delta offers a decent product on most of their fleet but the 717 or MD-88/90 can be extremely loud at the back of the plane. You better bring ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones and learn to read the flight attendants lips."
Pros: "Although the flight was delayed, when it was time to board and take off, this was extremely efficient."
Cons: "Delayed flight. However, I know this sometimes out ot the airlines control."
Pros: "I told the crew I had a short connection time at a far terminal and I was worried because my seat was in the rear of the aircraft and they were able to move me up closer to the front to ensure I got off the aircraft quickly to make my next flight. That was amazing."
Pros: "Kenyatta Cheatham, our flight attendant was absolutely delightful! She made my flight enjoyable with her beautiful smile. She clearly loves her job!"

Pros: "Crew was great, helped us board fast after a delayed arrival and to avoid needing a crew change (FAA Regs)."
Cons: "Plane was a D-90? The plane was very loud with vibration noise at very high decibels during the whole flight. Because of the extended flight (3 1/2 hours in the air) due to a storm system, they should have offered more food to travelers."

Cons: "I have nothing to complain about"
Cons: "The person sitting next to me what is not able to fit in their seat, therefore, he filled his seat and half of my seat. I don't think it's fair that I paid for a full seat and only was able to use half of my seat. I was incredibly uncomfortable the entire flight. I was pressed up against the window and against the stranger passenger that I did not know. By the end of the flight, my shirt and my pants are soaked with sweat, it was not my sweat."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and had great humor."

Pros: "Terri was very attentive."

Cons: "As will sometimes happen, aircraft was delayed over and over again. After an announcement that a new aircraft "might"arrive but we may have to fly the next day, I had my travel agent book a flight with Southwest. Only reason ever given was that there was an "odor" on the aircraft....awesome. I know aircraft issues happen, but the communication was horrible."

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Horrible customer service"
Pros: "That it reassured me that American is one of the worst airlines"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled due to the fact that it was an old plane that had problems with the engine. All the passengers were on the plane while they were trying to fix the problem. Then all 250+ passengers had to go to the worst ticket agents ever to try to get new flights. Terrible. Awful. The worst."
Pros: "Premium Plus seating"
Cons: "Passenger behind us allowed 2 children to misbehave for the entire flight. Parent rammed our seats many times. Upon leaving they physically assaulted my daughter."
Cons: "I wish the WiFi worked better and did not break down."
Cons: "Wider seats"
Cons: "The flight was delayed 4 hours. Not fun."
Pros: "Getting off the plane."

Cons: "The TV control pads are a major FAIL. And all of the baggage charges are despicable piracy."
Cons: "I had kids kicking the back my chair & rude Passengers Florida to Chicago. Then connect to other flight from Chicago to Madison & the thing but, different passengers!"
Pros: "The crew was great despite the delay."
Pros: "The flight was on time... that is about all..."
Cons: "Too late to download app once on plane so stuck for hours without entertainment on a long flight. They wanted to charge for most everything. First class was not as good as economy on other airlines. I have no idea why anyone would select United on purpose. I know I will not pick them again..."
Pros: "On time departure and arrival. Bags arrived"
Cons: "No leg room, crowded, warm"
Cons: "Seats that are too small for a 6 foot male. No leg room."
Pros: "Getting off the plane. The unusually chipper voices telling us “B-bye”"
Cons: "I remember reading that Aeroflot in Russia has better customer service than United Air Lines. Well, it was on full display today on our flight from LAX to Kona repleat with the veteran battle ax barking orders at passengers; “The Bathroom is by the blue curtaaaaaaiiiins!!!!!’ Poor victim seemed utterly humiliated. Seating is cramped, seats narrow and unsupportive and the old 757’s (c. 1997) entertainment system is ancient...the touch screens seemed unresponsive, but were in fact just slow...as 5-7 seconds would elapse between touching the screen and the command being implemented. A full re-boot was ordered about 30-45 minutes into the flight. As expected, there were some bumps in the air, but we welcommed them because it required the crew to sit down, freeing us of their ultra passive agressiveness."
Cons: "The tv in front of us was not working and neither was the WiFi on our phones"
Cons: "My flight was rescheduled, so I ended up waiting about a 12 hour delay in Germany"
Pros: "Staff was super friendly and very helpful. They made boarding and the rest of the trip a wonderful experience."
Cons: "The small baby in my row had a hard time adjusting and cried a lot. Can small kids and their parents be seated in a separate area near the east of the plane where they're crying won't be so disruptive?"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled on our way back home from Gudalajara, was speaking to a representative for almost 2 hours to get me on the next flight the flight representative forgot to put me on hold and told everyone how rude i was, i was not rude i was just trying to get home. The representative couldn’t help me so i asked to be transferred to a manager, after 2 hours i was transferred and the manager hung the phone up. Long story short i called back spoke to another manager Yana and she was the rudest lady ever! She basically told me for waiting to long i will have to be placed on a flight 2 days after my cancellation flight. I started to cry because i needed to be home and she basically did not care so i took the date. Never again and i will warn everyone about this airline and their customer service!"
Pros: "The entertainment onboard was good"
Cons: "Five hour delay due to the aircraft maintenance."
Pros: "Direct flight on time. The gate person help us with seat assignments."
Cons: "All the charges."
Pros: "Amazing flight."
Pros: "I loved the stroopwaffle snack with my tea."
Cons: "I don't want to have to download an app for a service I don't use but every few months."
Pros: "The entertainment selection was great!! The crew was great!"
Cons: "It was SO hot on plane, I was miserable the whole flight. It started out with a delay on the tarmac due to the air conditioning not working. We had to wait for maintenance to fix that. That wasn’t a big deal to me. We didn’t have a connecting flight to catch, so we were understanding....things happen. The problem for me began when HOT air was blowing on my legs the WHOLE flight. I was miserable! They only had pizza for purchase which did NOT sound appetizing in that heat. It was a terribly long flight and I was so happy to land and get off!!"
Cons: "Our home was damaged, and we were without power for 6 days due to Hurricane Irma. We called the airlines repeatedly in an effort to cancel the ticket before the flight. They refused to cancel the tickets. Heartless"
Cons: "The aircraft was full and they had a nonworking lavatory. And I asked the flight attendant that the lavatory was broken and he told me no there was somebody in there and he lied."
Pros: "The crew was excellent - courteous/aware/friendly. The flight, although 2 hours delayed (9;20pm scheduled departure) was pleasant and smooth. Also, the de-boarding process was surprisingly quick."
Cons: "A 2 hour delay at 9:20pm at night is unfortunate yet frustrating experience, especially when we moved our flight up due to a travel warning for EWR (ironically enough, our originally scheduled flight (1922 MCO-EWR). I'm giving an overall OK (instead of good) due to the fact that there were no snacks (although I did not want anything, it didn't go unnoticed) and although there was free inflight entertainment for personal devices, I feel the passengers should have been given free internet access - in my opinion, it would have been the appropriate thing to do. In any case, this experience doesn't change my positive opinion of United."
Pros: "United took GREAT care of me. I never departed MCO. They feared i would possibly be stuck in Houston until the next afternoon so they put me in hotel and gave me a food voucher to stay in Orlando. I am leaving to catch the first flight to Chicago this morning and make it to my final destination in time for my evening plans in Iowa. They turned a bad situation around for me. I love that"
Cons: "I would not have made connector in Houston due to delay"
Pros: "The flight was on time."
Pros: "Seats were comfortable in exit row."
Cons: "Flight sat on runway for over an hour."
Pros: "The captain landed us safely"
Cons: "United employee working by the kiosk's was rude and totally UN-helpful. Told me to find someone else to help me. So I did and she was great, took a whole minute to do what needed to be done. Said that the rude employee was like that EVERY day w customers. I said, time to get rid of that employee! Then....a fuel spill, then unload people who were on the plane, then talk of cancelling, then ok to start boarding again. Late leaving, late arriving. But...free snack mix and direct tv to apologize. Big deal! Poor management for a monopoly company."
Pros: "The seat nice and comfortable"
Cons: "The pilot taking off was very rocky and landing was extremely rocky:(( not a very smooth flying pilot at all:(("
Pros: "Flight attendants were polite, attentive, and responsive. Very friendly, the captain kept us informed if turbulence was expected."
Cons: "The boarding process felt very disorganized, crew checking names with tickets was not very polite, and very curt with us."
Pros: "Arrived on time and early"
Cons: "Delays.delays.delays.."
Cons: "Almost two hours late"
Cons: "The flight was very warm, I paid $300 for a one way and was assigned a seat in the very last row that did not recline next to bathroom which was smelly. The air just wasn't fresh and made it difficult to rest l. No entertainment provided"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight attendant moved me to the back of the plane even though I got on the plane when boarding closed. There was an empty row in the front so there's no reason to move to the back just because that's my seat."
Pros: "Great crew. On time. Very polite."
Cons: "Small seats. Tight."
Pros: "Plane was very comfortable. I was able to take a good nap."
Cons: "After boarding we had to wait for an hour before we could take off because of a mechanical problem."
Cons: "I will never fly with United again because the practice of overbooking a flight jeopardized my trip to see my daughter. It is clearly a business decision and United makes more money that way; but at what cost? If I pay for a flight; at minimal, I expect to get to my destination. Service, comfort, entertainment and all other categories rank a distant second to getting to one's destination. That is the primary function of an airline and United has compromised that through the overbooking practice."
Pros: "The seats on the plane where nice and spacious. One employee from customer service named Aisha was a great help and took the time to listen to my issues and help get me on a new flight"
Cons: "The company overall is completely unorganized and majority of the employees are disrespectful and unwilling to help. During my layover in Washington DC my gate number was changed I was never informed despite signing up for notifications and having an eTicket that was never updated. When I asked one of the employees for the proper gate number they gave me another gate number that was incorrect I ran to that gate and the person there than give me the correct number but by the time I got to that gate I missed my flight After dealing with that I was lucky enough to talk to somebody who was helpful at the customer service table. She did her best to accommodate myself and three other friends unfortunately the next flight was over booked and only had two seats open. When I tried to explain to the attendants by gate A6 (Jackie and E Badi) that I have a party of four and I could not leave anyone behind they called security on me for not going on the plane. Once the security officers came they heard both stories saw that this was a waste of their time and told us all to file a complaint after getting the employees names. I would never recommend this airline to anyone traveling!!!"

Pros: "Overall flight experience was my best of the year by far (10+ flights thus far)."
Pros: "Eugene is so easy"
Cons: "san jose airport parking"
Pros: "That the captain kept us informed as much as he knew constantly. Liked that allot. They kept apologizing for the weather delay."
Cons: "When we had to taxi back to the terminal to get more gas and sit there realizing we would be on the plane 5 plus hours instead of 2 1/2 hours, I wish they would have found a way to bring lunches onto the plane for purchase. I think everyone would buy. I brought a few snacks but not much. That would have turned the experience into excellent. They could have sent someone to grab yogurts or packed sandwiches. Would have helped."
Cons: "Make seats reclinable!"
Cons: "Waited 1 hr to get bags from baggage claim"
Cons: "Muy bueno el crew"
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "Everything else"
Cons: "Good"
Pros: "All the flight attendants had wonderful attitudes and were extremely customer focused. Two attendants specifically had excellent chemistry and banter between each other that made for some humorous exchanges and fun times."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Seat unfortable. It's worth the price though. Reached on time!!"
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: "We were sitting 200 feet away from the gate and did not hear any announcements. About 10 of us miss the flight"
Pros: "Employee attire and cleanliness."
Cons: "Small tray/table."
Pros: "Got there safe. No delays."
Cons: "Spirit appears cheaper than most, but when two carry on items jump the price by $118, it's worth rolling that in to your total cost and being open to other airlines."
Pros: "Everything was great. Friendly staff and clean environment"
Pros: "They were efficient at loading and unloading. The business model of minimal inclusions was fine."
Cons: "The crew was average but talked with each other when all I wanted to do was sleep."
Pros: "Attendants on plane and at gate counter were good in the turmoil"
Cons: "Flight coming and going we're delayed several hours including the first flight of the day.....how does that happen with perfect weather? Suitcase was lost on return trip and after 3 days finally was sent delivered to destination airport for pick up. They would deliver it to home but could not give a specific time, worse then the cable company so just will pick it up directly. Also the customer service folks in the baggage area speak very little English, have no customer skills and And frankly have no understanding of how their processes work. Also with the delay notification to email received over 1000 email notifications... must be a system glitch in their system. Will never use this airline again in life!"
Pros: "Maybe the crew. Flight was very good"
Cons: "Uncomfortable. Seats didn't recline at all. Flight took off an hour late."
Cons: "Flight was over 2 hours late."
Pros: "Crew on the way to San Diego was wonderful from the time I checked in at BWI to rhe very end when I landed in California."
Cons: "Seats are NEVER comfortable. Food is crappy and over priced. Baggage fees are ridiculously high for check-ins and carry-on. Plane was incredibly dirty, food all over the floor and my seat was wet and I had to ask for paper towels before I sat down. Expect nothing less and nothing more when it comes to Spirit."
Cons: "The staff was really rude. I get that Spirit's thing is to be cool and punchy, but the flight attendants don't need to talk to me like I'm a 5 year old."
Pros: "The chairs and the space. You could put your arm rest up!!! Little things go a long way. Crew was cool and nice, damn nice landing!"
Cons: "Give away some water for free. Like have an option. Water from a pitchter (free) or let em buy the bottled stuff"
Pros: "The crew was really nice and everything went very smoothly"
Cons: "I'm 5'10 and my husband is 6'3" and our knees got bonked up because there was not adequate leg room. Also the seats are vinyl and not well-padded and do not breathe, making it a very hot and uncomfortable seat. But you get what ypu pay for, right?"
Pros: "The staff was courteous and happy. Smiling and speaking to passengers. No carry on baggage fee. I have been flying frequently over the last couple years and it was the only staff that made me feel like customer service matters."
Cons: "A fee for water and soda."
Cons: "It enough staff to accept bags, load plane. With excessive baggage fees, my $200 flight turned into $325. Never again."
Pros: "able to board w/:"need extra time" passengers. {I walk with canes due to an injury from getting knocked down, run over and having luggage from overhead bins fall on me while boarding a Jet Blue flight.) I need the extra time to get the canes and carry on stowed and get folded up into a seat. Request for right side aisle, (D), seat was honored by counter staff during check-in. Due to limited range of motion in left hip, having this seat makes a big difference in comfort. ."
Cons: "Lack of leg/knee room Frequently getting elbow and/or knee getting banged by flight attendants or cart walking fast down the aisle without ever glancing down. This issue is common among all airlines. Please look down every three or four rows while walking down the aisle."
Cons: "Charge for everything. Long wait for luggage."
Pros: "Flight crew was darling"
Cons: "plane broke twice, it was clear the ground crew knew that the flight would be canceled, but there were no official updates until after all other flights to the same destination had left. It's not that I had to stay an extra day, it's that nobody would or could tell us anything, and because this directly led to this. Also the meal voucher was for $7 at a hotel where the cheapest entre was $11, to add insult to injury."
Pros: "The entire process was very smooth. I especially enjoyed the larger seats I purchased,"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Terribly rude staff, inpatient and aggressive."
Pros: "Boarding was efficient and the plane arrived safely on time."
Cons: "1) $45 for carry on luggage - ugh! 2)They offer beverages and food for purchase, but no one including me had anything because they charge for everything, including water. 3) Hardly any room in the seat and leg room. I am 5'4 with a small frame and it was even tight for me. 4) My seat did not recline. I am not sure if they are all like that, but I was near the front of the plane so there didn't seem to be a reason not to go back."
Cons: "Delayed boarding 40 minutes. My boyfriends flight delayed 3 hours and my sons flight delayed 2 hours."
Pros: "2 hr flight delay. Gate change for added confusion. Then sat extra 45 min on plane before takeoff. Oh and if you want to change your flight that'll be $500 and change. More than you paid for the ticket. Rules seem arbitrary. They also didn't charge us for luggage on outbound flight but did on returning flight. Threaened lady in front of us to be charged $10 next time she doesnt pre-print boarding pass. Didnt say anything to us who had also forgotten."
Pros: "Price, new plane and early arrival."
Cons: "Cheap seats."
Pros: "The seats are bad straight back, there is no Leg room"
Cons: "The seats are too tight"
Pros: "Crew was awesome. No delays......"
Pros: "I don't have any problem with the crew, they were great."
Cons: "I had to pay extra for a carryone bag, I've never had to do that before. It's not reasonably priced either it's 50$. I usually pay $25 for a checked bag, (if at all). The seats are so close together, the most uncomfortable flight I've flown ever, I fly so much!"
Cons: "Both flights were delayed. The first due to weather, the second - unclear why."
Pros: "I slept for most of the flight, and boarding was good. No complaints."
Cons: "A lot of turbulence on descent, as well as a hard landing on a day of seemingly perfect weather."
Pros: "Flight was cheap"
Cons: "Customer service at the ticket counter was poor. Person was very slow and didn't appear to know what to do to check our bag. After standing in line for ten min we were turned away to the kiosk to print out boarding pass as they said they would not do it at the counter. When we flew out of Baltimore they printed our boarding passes at the counter where we checked our bag. Process was not consistent."
Pros: "It's cheap-ish."
Cons: "I won't bother telling you all the things you know about Spirit but that you think might be tolerable in exchange for cheap airfare: seats that don't recline, a charge for a carry-on bag, a charge to print a boarding pass, a charge for soda and snacks. All of that I'm used to, as is anyone who flies Spirit. You want basic amenities, fly Delta. You want cheap, fly Spirit. But something new and remarkably unwelcome happened on this flight: we arrived at the airport an hour before our 6am flight and were told when we tried to check in that we were too late and the flight was closed. I explained that we already had booked a flight--I wasn't asking to buy a new ticket. She said she understood, but we'd never clear security in time (there was no line) and that our bags probably wouldn't arrive at our destination because we were "so late." We had no bags. I said we needed to get home. They said, "You're supposed to be here 2 hours early." That rule is a bit like the speed limit--no one actually follows it to the T. There's a range of appropriate (say, less than 2 but more than 1 hour) and inappropriate (say, 15 minutes before your flight). When you're flying at 6am and you know there won't be a line, you don't really arrive that early. Anyway, they called a supervisor who said to let us board. And then there was a mechanical problem with this plane that was so intent on leaving ASAP that we weren't going to be allowed to board a full hour in advance. And the flight was an hour delayed, meaning I guess we really did arrive 2 hours in advance. Dump Spirit. It is never, ever worth it."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The flight was initially reported as bing 2 hours late, then every hour that passed by they would delay another hour. It was a sunday evening Flight and I had to be at work at 6am. The short 1 hour flight was supposed to leave at 9pm and didn't take off until 2am! No explanation was given on why the delay. Then when we were on the plane, we were towards the back and We couldn't even get any sleep because the stewardess was talking loudly and non-stop to her partner. (Flight to Boston was delayed 1 hour as well)."
Pros: "I liked the crew"
Cons: "I did not like that my flight kept getting delayed and they provided late notifications"
Cons: "To early in the morning."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The flight was inexpensive, and we got there safely."
Cons: "The flight was delayed by 2 hours for unknown reasons, and we arrived in Minneapolis well after midnight (9:56 p.m. scheduled arrival). The seats barely reclined and were uncomfortable. There was a charge for all snacks and beverages. There also were fees for carry-on bags."
Pros: "I didn't LIKE anything,I LOVED EVERYTHING about my Flighy!"
Pros: "Flight was smooth"
Cons: "Had to get ahold of customer service to check in online because of card issues, had to open a profile to check in, hidden cost with spirit airlines"
Pros: "Everything was in time"
Cons: "Paying for bags"
Pros: "I get that is is a "no frills" airline but we were given the choice of being stranded in New Orleans or Las Vegas. No hotel or food vouchers because they had no pilots available."
Cons: "Everything on the ground."
Pros: "Crew was amazing during the flight."
Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "It's one thing If a flight is late due to weather. But the fact that we were supposed to leave at 7:30pm and didn't end up leaving till 10:30pm because a crew member didn't show up at a previous stop is unacceptable. If I was late to my flight the plane would leave without me so everyone else could be on time. So why don't The same rules apply to The crew? The three hour delay ruined basically our whole trip. We got set back an entire day and instead of getting in at a decent time and being able to drive. Also, Spirit charges and over charges for everything under the sun. So you "cheap flight" cost me more then other airlines. Completely disapointed and after my flight home Sunday we're never flying spirit again."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Management needs to work on training employees how to rebook flights in a more efficient way. The lines were huge, and others were missing their flight because they couldn't drop their bags off in time."
