Cons: "Communicating take off time!!! It changed multiple times by one three hours and ended up flying the next day!"

Cons: "Over a month ago I requested a seat with extra leg room due to a documented medical condition. My request was not granted and I was in pain most of the flight."

Pros: "Great crew, early arrival"

Cons: "Old screens, snacks getting smaller, too much ice in the drinks"

Pros: "Nice on board crew."

Cons: "More arm & leg room in basic seating. Tray tables are flimsy and seem worn."

Pros: "I liked the choices of movies"

Cons: "The seats were dirty and the snack choices are not healthy at all."

Pros: "The staff was very nice and helpful with prechecking my bag at the gate."

Cons: "Food / snack choices are unhealthy and limited. The cabin was not clean when I got to my seat. There was trash in my pocket and crumbs on the ground."

Cons: "Can't tell how the flight was because missed connecting flight from LAX to SJC because Westjet from YYZ to LAX had a mechanical issue. They end up replacing a tire which caused a 1.5 hr flight delay"

Pros: "The seats were very comfortable even though legroom was limited in the basic cabin."

Pros: "Comfy seats, quick service."

Cons: "If you are in Zone 3 or 4 you pretty much have to check in your bag back there is no more room. Which I don’t understand and is highly incovienent."

Pros: "great service, easy to get on and off, snack options and drinks were all great"

Cons: "The AC was off while we were waiting to takeoff so it never felt cool in the cabin for the hour(ish) long flight we had. I don’t know if it was the size of plane that made it so we couldn’t have that on while taxiing/waiting our turn to take off or what, but it was too hot and stuffy onboard in Texas on the tarmac. Our next flight from Dallas to Huntsville, AL had the AC on the entire time we were waiting our turn/taking off- the plane was newer and slightly bigger. Not sure what the deal was but it made the flight pretty miserable."

Cons: "If American Airlines didn’t delay 10 minutes so you miss your connecting flight twice within 1 trip"

Pros: "Well I arrived at the gate 8 minutes before departure due to a late flight from San Antonio. And no one was there. I watched the plane leave 5 minutes late. The gate attendants were super rude and lazy when they came back up the ramp. I think the walk really took it out of them. There were 10 people who had run from delayed flights just standing there thinking wtf."

Cons: "AA in Phoenix is always a nightmare. They seem to hire lazy people with no idea of customer service"

Pros: "Very friendly crew, my flights were on time, good selection of movies. That's about it."

Cons: "Their Basic fare should be renamed "Bare-sic" – you have to pay for almost anything. Food choices can be better. I guess they can pay the Munich airport to get better treatment and not having to bus their passengers around."

Cons: "Ramps up to the plane are a challenge for someone with movement problems. They had a mechanical issue that delayed departure for almost an hour for lack of a single screw."

Pros: "Dear American, stop lying to your passengers stating that the flights are full, when in fact, they are not. Customers are willing to pay for upgrades but you give them no way to do so."

Cons: "Smoke in cabin, has to return to Houston. Then they never transferred our luggage as promised."

Cons: "A toilet had no water. The internet was not working for the whole flight"

Pros: "Much better the typical American cattle class. Qantas actually served real food. Cabin was spacious."

Pros: "The tv and drinks"

Cons: "Being told why we’re delayed and then not being kept on board for so long once we arrived late"

Pros: "Never made it."

Cons: "I eventually got to San Francisco. I missed my flight to Lihue and had to stay in the airport all night."

Pros: "Everyone was nice, boarding was smooth, and we even landed early. Great flight."

Cons: "Nothing was bad about the trip really. Crew did a fine job."

Cons: "Got to Edmonton way late after a lot of flight changes and rederecting due to missed connection in Huston"

Pros: "Everything was fine and normal except the crew."

Cons: "My flight was a later one in the evening but all the crew showed was that they were ready to go home."

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "My email is not linked to my phone, so I got no warning notices of two gate changes waiting for my connecting flight home. I waited at the original gate (C39) from arrival time (2:30 pm) til boarding time (5:40 pm). When I saw no change to my destination, I checked the United App to find that the gate had been changed C33). Rushing to C33 I found another flight boarding at that location with one United Representative who could not stop to answer questions. Seeing two unoccupied Representatives at the next gate (C32), I asked if they could help me with the confusion, they said I should check with gate C33 - which I told them that she was too busy with other passengers. I searched for a Departure Board and discovered that gate C33 was still the gate, but "aircraft maintenance" had delayed the flight until after 8:20. After having to check my carry-on because of lack of space in the overheads, my departure from the airport was further delayed another 30 minutes. Upon returning home and checking my email, I found notifications of two different gate changes (C33 & C44). Announcements should have been made at both gate C39 about the changing of the gate and at C33 explaining the problem. The captain's lame excuse about air conditioning and Phoenix's hot weather was lame to say the least."

Cons: "Another passenger was extremely rude to me. Causing me to have to move seats mid flight. Crew did not try to resolve the issue with the man behind me and put me in a worse seat. Horrible."

Pros: "Flight was smooth, attendants were great."

Cons: "I was so uncomfortable in my tiny seat. They are small and awful."

Cons: "Seats are not very comfortable. Food selection is not very good.."

Pros: "Flight left on time, landed early and the staff were excellent."

Cons: "The entertainment options were limited with no TVs provided and wifi only for portion of flight, and the seats did recline very much."

Cons: "Not enough or any choice of food but that is ok asyou really do not need it unless you have not planned well, so it is partly my fault that I felt the shortage of food!"

Cons: "Seats are very tight No space Will be my last trip on spirit"

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "They have a lousy service, they are delayed for everything."

Pros: "Wide aisle"

Cons: "Pilot forgot paper work and added 1 hour to our flight"

Pros: "I like that we eventually arrived at our destination."

Cons: "Gate 17 at IAH smells of what I assume can only be urine. The carpet is sticky and filthy. The gate organization is chaotic and frustrating. Low cost should not equate to what is being offered at Spirit. No pride seen by employees. Book with someone else."

Pros: "Airline assistants were kind"

Cons: "We landed and we’re told we had to stay on the plane. After an hour and a half they said we would move so we could exit and that didn’t happen for about another 30 minutes after that. What about the people with connecting flights?!"

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "I arrived at the terminal three hours early, connecting from a non-Spirit flight from Central America. Spirit employees wouldn't check me in, saying they were too busy and I need to wait, but no worry, there's plenty of time. Asked again later and was told to check in online. Checked in online and was told (after the many upsell screens) that I couldn't print a boarding pass and needed to go to a Spirit counter. Went back to the Spirit gate and they said I hadn't checked in so they gave away my seat, and they didn't have another flight until tomorrow. Did I want it? Nope. Bought tickets on a real airline. Will never, ever travel with Spirit again."

Cons: "The seats are cramped and on the way back, they canceled all flights back to Houston, causing us to pay an extra $600 in order to get home to work on Monday."

Pros: "The flight path selected allowed us to arrive 10 minutes early."

Cons: "I would like to see more food offerings. I would also like to see the crew have more willingness to encourage parents to control the noise of their children."

Pros: "The flight generally was smooth.Good take off and smooth landing"

Pros: "Well they chance again for April 14 hope no cancel anymore"

Cons: "They was Cancel I hope April 14 don't happened again"
