Flight was late and missed connecting flight. They could have better accommodated, but instead did an overnight and had to arrive the next afternoon.
The flight was delayed leaving Miami. When we arrived in Charlotte, we were unable to park at our scheduled gate. We had to wait another 30-45 minutes before we could park at a different gate. All in all, we were delayed by almost two hours arriving in Charlotte.
the pilot that landed this flight in Philadelphia did an amazing job, the weather was absolutely terrible and we landed safely.
I never have a good experience with American and this was no different. The airplane was INCREDIBLY hot. Like unbearably so. Everyone was fanning themselves with pamphlets and sweating. When someone asked the flight attendant to turn down the temperature they were told there was nothing the crew could do. Once we pushed back from the gate we then had to wait an hour to take off and the communication from the crew was not good. People were getting up this whole time and a man was even in the bathroom when we took off. Once we landed at our destination we waited another 30 minutes at the gate to deplane with, again, no communication from the crew as to what was going on.
I had a horrible experience from the time I dropped off my bags until the time I landed. The staff taking the bags at the check-in counter prior to security, forced me to check my baby stroller, even though it weighed less than 20 pounds. their excuse was that the wheels were too big. I have never had an issue gate checking this exact same stroller in the past either on American or on any other airline. when I asked for the agent to show me the rule about the size of the wheels on strollers, they told me to look it up on the AA website. I did so, and did not find any indication that wheel size was a problem for gate checking strollers. The only limitation would be the weight of the stroller which mine was below. I was left with a one-year-old child and all of my carry-on luggage, diaper bag, and the like to walk around the airport without the assistance of a stroller and had the same issue when I exited the plane and had to go all the way to baggage claim without a stroller. In addition, while on the airplane, I was told I can only get one bag of cookies as a snack, even though I was with a child. Apparently my child and I were supposed to share a cookie. While this latter issue is a minor one, it is just another example of the absolutely horrible customer service that American Airlines provides. In addition, the 737 aircraft that I was on was extremely hot and the air vents above the seat were so far away from the aisle and middle seats that it was comical. I could barely reach the air vent to adjust it. I had to ask the person in the window seat to do it for me. The whole experience was just a nightmare.
Ok. Got us there safely and a bit early. Need food available on this long flight. Almost 3 hours.
Flight areas delayed 3 hours , train in the airport didn’t work
The flight was on time and everything went very smoothly.
We were offered Flight Change due to overbooking. We accepted and chose an earlier flight. We went to Rebooking center to make the change but agent told us no changes permitted on our Basic ticket. AA should not have made the offer to change our flight.
Finding the gate was very confusing. Our boarding pass listed one gate and the staff verbally told us a different gate.
Not having it be changed after we bought the flight tickets from a direct flight getting in at a reasonable time to a connecting flight red eye of 9 hours, so that we would lose our 35 dollars in nonrefundable insurance would've been great! Our country really does need low-cost carrier options, but this type of "service" ain't it. Fortunately, had a little better success with them flying to and from San Juan PR last month at least.
The flight was fine however what started as a reasonable priced ticket could have become an overpriced ticket with additional charge for carry on as well as checked bag $79 per bag per person each way. Additional charge for choosing one’s seat, additional charge for beverage and snack, we were on what was described as a new plane yet there were no audio/visual on the jet. A bare bones service but not at a bare bones price. Will think twice before flying Spirit again. 😕
I love Spirit. New aircraft, great cabin service, the airfares are low cost which helps me visit my hospitalized daughter anytime I can without paying a fortune.
I paid for streaming wifi and the connection was poor.
We had an 8 hr delay so it was not good
Easy boarding. Met expectations for a 2-3 hour flight. Early arrival at DFW caused a 39 minute delay on the tarmac in getting to our gate. 😏 overall, good flight.
Very efficient process and boarding, seats felt standard. Flight conditions from take off to landing had been very smooth. Alcohol on the menu however was not available… Will fly Spirit in the future for the price, you can’t really complain if you fly light.
Bad experience. Unhappy with the changing of flight times and one particular flight attendant (Bartholomew) on our flight from Orlando to Detroit. Traveling with a large family of 7, including our 18 month old, can be arduous but when the airline changes your flight time from landing at 9:30 pm to landing after midnight, this becomes much more difficult. When our 18 month old was predictably over tired and fussy, my wife and I tried to move to an open row so we can console her more effectively. The flight attendent rebuked us and said we could not sit in an exit row. We were not planning on sitting there for more than a few minutes but just to have space to console our screaming 18 month old. Spirit did not allow for a family friendly trip. Likely will be choosing a different airline next time.
I book a filght for me and my daughter from Miami home to Las Vegas and getting her checked in was awful the lady at the baggage check in was horrible!!! She was the rudest person I have ever encountered in my entire life!!!! My daughter dose not speak Spanish and so I was trying to translate for her but the woman would not let me so my daughter was 100 💯 confused because she could not understand what was going on or being said at all horrible absolutely horrible and rude extremely stressful worst experience ever!!!!!!! And then we were actually told by other air port staff not to complain because if we did sprint would make sure we miss our flight ✈️ that they do it all the time 😧
This was my first experience with Spirit. The flight was originally delayed because of mechanical problems. There was a major storm moving through our area later in the day. Spirit kept changing the gate and taking the plane for other flights. They did this 6 times until we left 7 hours later, right at the worse time. I am sure it is because they originally delayed the flight through their fault. They would have had to pay for everybody's hotel and later flight. It was a money decision. The pilot did an exceptional job flying and landing the plane in horrific weather. It was one of the roughest and shakiest landings that I have ever done in my extensive flying experience. I just can never go through this discount BS again. Spirit gave us a $30 voucher each for next travel and a $12 meal voucher... but that's nothing compared to sitting in an airport for 7 hours.
