I liked that the flight was nonstop from ORD to CIU for $200 round trip.
Breakfast was not loaded at SFO due to catering company change. Seems like a major airline at a major hub would have thought of something else or warned passengers to pick up food before boarding a 3 hour flight.
The schedule to Moline changed 5 times. The gate changed 6 times. That is a pathetic way to run an airline. No wonder that no one in our company flies on United Express to or from Moline. Changes happen most of the time. I learned my lesson on this trip…never again!
They switched out gate from terminal 1 to terminal two ten minutes before boarding. So we had to make a 20 min crazy fast walk to a different terminal. Then we boarded the plane and waited for over 40 minutes until push back. Brutal
There's just no way to sit fully upright and comfortably in these seats. There needs to be 2 more inches of room, and that's not something that only one person on the flight needs - the whole flight needs 2 more inches of room. If that means you sell 6 less seats, so be it. It's too close for anyone. Forcing people to pay for "premium" economy just to get "barely enough space to breathe" isn't really an answer to that.
Average. Newark is a United Hub, yet a flight that is early somehow ends up getting late to the gate. Newark ATC needs help badly.
Most disapointing experience. We were rerouted to Toronto, after a 7 hours flight , where we sat on the tarmac for a little over 4 hours, in a full airplain with no air. We were given a tiny cup of water twice during that wait. After the long wait we taxi out of toronto to wait another 30 min. Many people missed their conections including my kids and I. We were promised a hotel room in Montreal on the aircraft and at the exit of the aircraft, then directed to a desk after custom where me and my two kids were told that we do not get a room for the night and that we were on our own, after a back and fourth and stating what was told to us, the agent at the counter says that we are right and that we should have a room. I ask the lady if she could look into a different flight for us for the next day as I was with two you g kids and wanted them to get some rest. The gentlemen next to her jumps in and said there wss nothing without even (pretending) looking at their system, I insist and say that they could look for the kids. They seemed to have trouble with our reservation so they gave up. I told them that I needed to talk to a manager, they said there were no managers and that no one can do anything, to which I responded that there must be someone that could do something and that it does not make sense for them to repeat the same think as we are not undestanding each other. She threatns to call security and says I am rude. I say I will go, just give me the vouchers and ger response is “ not giving you the vouchers because you are rude”. I was not rude. It is normal to want to talk to a manager. I even said that the people at the counter were not resoonsible for the long journey and that there was nothing they could have done. But to threten and himiliate someone just because they ask for someone else to talk to ? I understand they are overwhelmed, but you know the quality and calibre of a company in the bad times not the smooth ones. I ended up leaving and paying for my own room and board.
Old and out of date plane, it seem like every time I fly with united there’s and issue. We were delayed,
We took off an hour late due to arrival airport not having enough gates. That was followed by 1:30 wait to get our bags delivered for the entire flight.
Horrifying! And I am almost 2 million miles with United. Late by 3 1/2 hours. Worst: after two hours on the plane waiting, they decided that one of the tires had been damaged and then decided to change it. Another hour and a half to change the tire!!!!! NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. The crew didn't even offer a glass of water until we had been on the plane for FIVE hours. This is the worst airline in the world. I'm simply stuck because they fly on the only routes I need.
Communication since no reason or explanation was given for 3 hrs delay
Flight was delayed several 3 hours - no reason was given and no communication what so ever.
Overall was excellent. Will definitely us JetBlue in the future.
Smooth boarding and friendly crew. Unfortunately as soon as we boarded the unit that provides air circulation failed. The pilot informed us and requested maintenance technicians to check it out. The plane became uncomfortably warm without any fresh air coming in. Plus the repair delayed our departure. I am glad the maintenance crew were able to fix the problem. I also was without use of my tv monitor for the first 1/3rd of the trip.
Flight was on time arrived at the destination 10min early they kept in touch via email
I like their airplanes because they have plenty of legroom in their seats they always work with me if I have a change of plans on my tickets courteous and I always feel safe flying with them.
In flight on demand didn't work at our seats. Only a single beverage/snack run.
Everything was great except for some reason crew and ground crew could not figure out how to deal with an electric wheelchair and it delayed us 20-30mins. Was pretty frustrating for passengers and the captain.
The flight crew that we had in our section may have been tired or something. I asked the flight attendant about my son’s screen not working and she spoke down to me like I was stupid. He still had no working screen throughout his flight. The other members had no personality and seemed like they were annoyed when you asked them for something. Definitely took a hit for simple things on my JB experience.
The flights are back on time and everything else runs perfectly.
Update.us on flight information in a more timely manner. Don’t say we are boarding on time ten minutes before the boarding time when the aircraft isn’t arriving for another forty minutes.
Took off on time and successfully avoided weather that looked to be a problem along the way
No food/snack served during the flight. Crew wasn’t interested at all. Flew American First but flying low cost with Ryanair is even better
Flight didn’t get dinner on business. I was starving!
Everything was excellent. I loved my flight Thank you so much 😊
The seat could not recline. This was not indicated as such when I paid for the seat. So itvwad not the most comfortable ride. At boarding, the staff could have more pleasant even though it may be an intense time.
The flight was good. The only reason I did not say “excellent” was the delay
great experience. minimal lines at BWI. at DFW they got a long haul 787 boarded in 30 minutes
The flight attendants were talking the entire time on the back and I couldn’t even take a nap. Super annoying
They could have done a better job announcing the boarding groups and asked for more drinks (water) if needed.
Not great. Overpriced and charge you for everything. All but breathing was an extra charge. Never again! Oh if you didn’t check a carry on, you couldn’t use the overhead bins. Crew said those spaces were not available. Personal items MUST go on floor. Yet, there was only 50% capacity at best! So ridiculous.
Unclear pricing; ended up being charged an extra $52 just to get onboard
A passenger got into a verbal altercation with the flight attendant, who neither de-escalated nor acted professionally. Because of this, we had to go back to the gate for the person to be kicked off the flight. It delayed us 75 minutes.
The senior flight attendant was engaging, funny and made everyone feel at ease. She is an asset to your team.
The flight overall was good but I believe giving back to the customers would be a plus. Not saying a big giving back but small is also acceptable like Wi-Fi (Free) or snacks(free). Just one would be good.
My experience with Spirit airlines was terrible. We had a 5 hour delay going to Jamaica and about a 3.5 hour delay returning home with no explanation keep in mind there was already a 4 hour layover in addition to the delay on the return home . We should have arrived in Montego Bay at 1:30pm on 12/22/24 instead we did not get there until about 5 or 6pm our final destination was Negril which is about a 2 hour drive from the airport so we did not reach our hotel until after 8pm so we literally spun the entire day traveling. On 12/27/24 we headed back home. We had arrived in Fort Lauderdale around 4-4:30pm for our layover expecting to be fly from there a little after 9pm and get back to Philadelphia by 12:05am Saturday morning 12/28/24. Once at the airport we kept receiving emails every 15-30 minutes or so apologizing for a delay with the time pushed further and further back. We did not depart from Fort Lauderdale until 12:33am. I forgot to mention that I was traveling with my 5 year old son so if you have small children you already know how that went. The only compensation they gave was two 12 dollar meal vouchers one for my son and one for for myself that we were not able to use because by the time they sent them the places in the airport were mostly closed and we were finally boarding the plane. The staff were very unprofessional and were being rude when we asked them questions about why the time kept getting pushed back. This was my first and absolute last time traveling by way of Spirit airlines. I most absolutely will not ever travel Spirit again. By far the most terrible travel experience thus far.
Great flight. The only thing I could complain about is the seat size/comfort level.....BUT...you're getting a bargain so you should know there must be compromises
First time flying Spirit and I was pleasantly surprised. Service was as advertised. Crew were very professional and friendly and excellent in dealing with a customer who felt ill on the flight.
I had a big seat for the same price of premium seat of other airlines. The flight was on time and everything is good.
WiFi didn’t work despite paying for it. Crew was nice.
