The new boarding process was easy and straightforward. Very pleasant.

The flight was okay. The pilots did an amazing job and kept us updated on the flight. The flight attendants were okay. They found time to be chatty with each other rather than focus on the guests. One of the attendants was a little less warm when asking about my bag I had on my lap that I was using during latter part of the mid- flight. Mind you, it was not the departure descent. I’m respectful to each and every attendant, it was the tone in her voice reminding me to place my carryon bag on the floor. I hope to have a better experience next time.

The entire travel day was a disaster from beginning to end. Woke up at two in the morning to make it to San Juan airport in time for a 5:30 am flight to Milwaukee which connected in Baltimore. Massive delays lead to me missing original connection out of Baltimore. Sixteen hours of delays/rebooking/layover time later, arrived in Milwaukee to find that only one of two checked bags made it there (despite the fact that Southwest brought another 737 jet to San Juan to fly us out to our original Baltimore connection—-not squeezed into another booked flight). The flight from Baltimore to Milwaukee was barely half full, so there was no logical reason to ship my bags out of Baltimore on a different flight to Chicago to then ship to Milwaukee. Southwest decided that my bags should not have been on the same connecting flight I WAS ON to Milwaukee, and then proceeded to accidentally leave my larger bag with the important items in Chicago. Terrible logic and support all around. Extremely angered and disappointed with SW. What a clownish operation your company has become!

It was as expected and I was grateful for the wheel chair help and ease of use.

One of the best airlines for fast boarding, on time arrivals, and top notch service!

The new seat assignment thing is wierd. If you don’t pay for a seat they always assign you a middle seat regardless of how many people are on the flight. Idk… the new company that bought Southwest is trying to make it more profitable, but I’m just not seeing it. The flight attendants aren’t having as much fun anymore. It just feels like the airline is slowly dying. IMO. We shall see if Southwest is the next Toy’s R Us.

Terrible. Even though there’s assigned seating now, they are still the slowest boarding airline of anyone.

The Air hostess were very rude on my flight from Houston to Austin . Their regular communication itself felt a they are shouting at people.

Communication about the delayed flight was poor. We were told to move gates three times but that was bad information. We went from gate 128 to gate 126 and then to gate 123 and back to gate 126. Communication about the delay was bad. Ended up being 1 1/2 hour late getting home.

Plane was late. Zero service for 2+ hour flight and it was not that bumpy.

The tray table was broken and the food was terrible.

The gentleman at the gate I think his name is RIE was exceptional

While they turned off most cabin lights to allow people to sleep, I was bothered by how bright the side lights still were. It was still quite bright for me in a window seat, when I wish I could have slept!

One of the flight attendants was a little cranky. I appreciated the free wifi and plug to charge my laptop

No entertainment. Plane was so small had to pink tag a carry on ive used for 20 years easily on board. The fact the flight got in at midnight, had to wait for crew in fort wayne to allow the plane to approach the gate, THEN had to wait for bag on jet bridge made experience irritating at best.

Crew was great. Near on time departure and early arrival. Snacks are always meh. Not a fan of the "pay for everything including miles " proposal unless base flight rate going to be 100 bucks.

Would have been better if there was a nonstop flight from Tampa to Norfolk or Tampa to New Port News.

Overall Good! The weather delayed our takeoff from Atlanta and our arrival in Miami! If Mother Nature can mess up a flight she will do it every time!

The flight was smooth, the crew was great but the plane was quite old

Everything was great until I lost my water bottle and they can’t seem to locate it. I know I left it on the plane though.

Horrible company: canceled flights and delayed flights. Spirit canceled my flight from Miami to Philadelphia the day before we were supposed to leave from Philadelphia to Miami, with no explanation. I had to rebook another flight, spending more money and instead of flying from Miami, I had to choose a flight from Fort Lauderdale because there were no direct flights available from Miami. That created additional cost. The flight with Spirit from Fort Lauderdale was scheduled to depart at 6am, so I had to wake up my 3 and 6 years old at 3am to get to the airport in time and then, at 5am while we were at the gate the delayed the flight until 7:45am with again no explanation.

Spirit is awful, and cost me an extra $400. On the flight to the destination they staff was rude and did not even offer water during the flight. On the return flight, while on the way to the terminal, Spirit cancelled the flight. This is the second time this has happened, and I believe they should compensate for the additional cost for incurred for the return flight. Spirit simply offered reimbursement for their cancelled flight, and did not take into consideration the cost for a last-minute flight home. The TSA agents expressed how Spirit often cancels evening/night flights, and shows no concern for the passengers.

The repeated flight delays—this time nearly three hours without any weather-related cause—are unacceptable. Yet, passengers are penalized heavily even for being a minute late. It is unreasonable that there is no compensation for such significant delays, nor even basic provisions like water during the wait or in flight. This imbalance in accountability is deeply frustrating and needs to be addressed.

My flight with spirit airlines was canceled leaving me stranded until tomorrow.

My flight was delayed then put back on time then cancelled and they automatically rebooked me to another flight but that flight was going to make me late to a concert i had planned for. Flight was at 10am concert was at 7pm from Burbank to Las Vegas so I allowed enough time but the flight that was rebooked was too late so I talked with the desk and they were able to get me on an afternoon flight. Thank goodness. That was stressful for a moment. I want to thank the person who helped me get to my show on time. Concert tickets are very expensive and the show was amazing. Hopefully my flight home will be smooth.

Unfortunately Stuff and the stuff boarded us were so rude to many of passengers.i will never fly Spirit again .

Always Good ,… Spirit customers are high class Delta customers are self proclaimed elites and American crews you can hear them complain about everything (they’re loud)

Very nice. Although, it would be nice to offer a glass of water for free. At least.....

They didn’t put my luggage on my transfer so I had to spend the night in Detroit. They said my luggage would be here in the morning and they’re still searching for it. It did not arrive apparently.

The attendant at the gate was not helpful at all and she was rude when we asked why the flight was delayed.
