Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
Pros: "The crew was nice- that's it"
Cons: "Everything - not comfy- it wasn't the frontier that I used to enjoy- horrible seats, horrible food and drinks you pay for everything... it was definitely a cheapened out airline. I understand low fares now and why y'all are priced the way you are! This airline is same as spirit not comfortable at all. I will pay a little bit more next time for quality. Also horrible landing."
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "I arrived 20 mins before departure and from front desk agents would not issue a boarding pass because they said they were already boarding and I wouldn't make it to the gate. Their only solution given to me was to fly to Denver the next day for a layover and fly out to my final destination the next day after that. I was encouraged to find another airline too."
Pros: "It was a good experience I. Flight short flights very great customer service at the terminal and on the flight."
Cons: "The lay over most definitely getting shorter flights from now on."
Pros: "The plane was fine. We could have used Wifi"
Cons: "It took an hour to get our bags from baggage claim because they didn't have anybody working on the ground to remove them from the plane."
Cons: "I'd rather get bumped off a United flight and sleep on the floor airport than fly Frontier. Do yourself the favor and spend the extra money. You'll at least get a free carry on, and be able to recline your seat."
Pros: "Crappy cramped seats that you have to pay for?! All the extra fees make the flight more expensive than better airline companies like American airlines"
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "We did finally leave after 6 delays. The crew were tired as we were we all. The airline sent updates but the flight crew on the ground didn't know what was going on. the updates were inaccurate."
Cons: "It's a $40 fee for either a carry on or check in, so unless you assume everyone is bringing a small purse you should really include this in the price of the flight on Kayak. it makes a huge difference."
Cons: "Baggage fee for carryon"
Cons: "I will be hesitant to fly with Fromtier again. They nickel and dime you for everything!"
Cons: "No frills to the point of passenger despair. Budget airline to the T."
Pros: "Direct flight and very reasonable"
Cons: "There was a charge for EVERYTHING!!!! Charge for carry-on, which is free on most other flights. There is a charge for a soda, which is free on most other flights, especially a 3 hour flight. There were no snacks given, such as nuts, or some sort of other simple snack? There were a couple of very large crew members that rubbed me, everytime they walked by, since I was in the aisle seat, made for a very uncomfortable flight."
Pros: "Boarding was fasr"
Cons: "Unfriendly staff, will never fly with frontier again"
Cons: "The seats were paper thin. Luckily I didn't pay for mine but I feel bad for the people who actually paid to sit in the seat of their choice it's definitely not worth it."
Cons: "I upgraded my seat ... most uncomfortable seat I have ever be in during a flight and it was row 2"
Cons: "Boarded late again with no communication from any frontier reps"
Pros: "The crew were pleasant and helpful."
Cons: "Delayed 3 times. Didn't get to my destination until 1:30 am. 5 hours later than expected. I don't think I'll fly frontier again."
Cons: "$35 to bring one bag"
Pros: "Had a safe An quite flight."
Cons: "All employees were polite."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The 45$ carry on fee; the quality of the plane was horrendous. It was freezing the entire flight and the wait time at the final arrival location was over 20 minutes at 5AM. Also could not hear the pilot at all whenever he spoke."
Pros: "We were there at 5:20 and would not let us check in and said the next flight was on the 13th after 5 days."
Pros: "The crew and the journey was on point but the passengers"
Cons: "Due to the passengers this was my worst flight ever"
Pros: "It was an airplane. It successfully took off and landed."
Cons: "Least comfortable passenger seats in the history of commercial aviation. Paid $45 for "extra leg room" - maybe they should include a regular cushion and a reclining seat for that price. I just don't think I am this airline's target customer. If you want a rock bottom ticket and that's it, it's a good deal."
Cons: "The seats do not recline. You have to pay an EXTRA $45 just to get enough leg room for a 5'5" girl to fit in the seat. I am a small girl only 135 lbs and I was so uncomfortable the entire trip."
Pros: "Getting off the airplane."
Cons: "Everything else. The gate agents in Atlanta were nice. But the flight was delayed on the way out due to maintenance - Frontier contracts out their maintenance - so then we switched to a different plane. I was more than an hour late to my meeting in New York. Even The flight attendants were rude - they wouldn't even give me a cup of water after I had run to a different terminal and back trying to catch a different flight out. The flight back was even worse. Again, we were delayed. And the flight attendants were rude. I've flown probably around 200 flights in my life. These two flights were without a doubt the worst experience I've ever had."
Pros: "I loved the customer service, flight attendants really sweet especially when I had gum on my seat, they upgraded my seat at no cost and offered free snacks and drinks."
Cons: "There was no tv or charging port for cell phone or laptop"
Pros: "Ticketing and Boarding process was good. All the good stops there. Cramped seats, sarcastic crew terrible on board experience. Never fly again."
Cons: "Luggage policy, crew, seats, etc.."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and helpful. We arrived an hour early . The flight went well. I just enjoyed having staff that were friendly it makes taking Frontier worth it."
Cons: "The flight was delay there was no announcement made to Inform the passengers about this , we were supppose to board at 855am we didn't board until 9:29am. You were unable to adjust your seats on the plan, overall it was not a good experience for me"
Cons: "Worst airline to fly with.. they lie about everything and don't accommodate for any mishaps and discomfort and issues."
Pros: "Quick fast boarding and flight"
Cons: "Seating, no charging for iPhone"
Pros: "It was a good flight, crew was very kind and entertaining during take off instructions. Seats were spacious with enough seat belt per person"
Cons: "Seats didn't recline"
Pros: "price of flight"
Cons: "restricted seating space and could not recline seat"
Cons: "Ubezpieczeń fees for luggadge i thought my check in 20 kg is free of charge."
Pros: "Horrible absolutely nothing"
Cons: "Nothing I would never fly front tier a game"
Pros: "Wasn't the best, but was good for what I paid for."
Cons: "Seemed like everything. Was a la carte. I would fly again, just wouldn't be my top pick."
Pros: "quick boarding Staff was impressively patient with a full flight of impatient customers."
Cons: "Highly uncomfortable seats for even a 3 hour flight. I was never told during booking that I would be charges an extra $60 for carry-on bags. This should be made explicit before booking, not in fine print. Felt like I was being purposely mislead."
Pros: "I thought I was getting a good deal on a flight, but I was wrong."
Cons: "Classic bait and switch. I booked the ticket online via priceline. When I went to check in all the hidden fees for bags surfaced. On the flight one of the passengers was drunk and almost vommitted on me. Instead he vommitted on a guy in front of me. Unrelated the lights in the cabin kept coming on and off during the night flight. The loud speaker was super loud."
Cons: "Didn't like how I had to pay 40 dollars both ways for a carry on"
Pros: "Price of the flight was great, but there are hidden fees."
Cons: "Having to pay for carry on and seats aren't comfortable"
Cons: "Had to pay for check in a bag and carry on bag Had to pay to be seated"
Pros: "on time"
Cons: "tight seating - I am 6'3""
Pros: "There was literally nothing to like. The crew was unprofessional, rude, and clearly insufficiently trained. I asked for a napkin and rather than get one for me from the galley, they opened the restroom door and pulled out hand towels and handed them to me."
Cons: "There was little or no information given about gate assignment or boarding procedures by the airline at the airport and it led to chaos and confusion at the gate. The flight was severely delayed and little communication was provided during that time. We fly quite a lot and this was, by far, the worst flying experience we have ever encountered. We were completely mislead about baggage checking costs, seating costs, etc. absolutely horrible. Never, ever again will we fly Frontier."
Cons: "After a three hour delay-should have fed us. A 25 dollar coupon to be used on frontier within 90 days is useless."
Cons: "The way people jostle to get off cutting in front of you If the crew would remind people to wait their turn when deplaning it might help"
Cons: "Had to pay for carry on"
Pros: "Nothing stood out"
Cons: "$45 carry on fee. Really? Most uncomfortable seats ever designed. Your going to charge us for an in flight soda??? A stewardess that spoke English would be nice.. Just a thought. Won't fly frontier again."
Pros: "Not one thing.flight attendants were very rude.the worst seats I've ever sat in on a flight, for any sort of comfort"
Cons: "The whole thing from check in to leaving plane. I will never fly frontier airlines again. I normally don't complain I just don't buy or use again, but this was a terrible experience. Wasn't expecting luxury , but wasn't expecting misery."
Cons: "Delays, hidden fees, poor AC (1 person passed out both flights I as on), tray tables are a joke, seems the crew doesn't want you to carry anything on even with plenty of room, ONLY three complimentary items: water, the cup for the water, and the napkin under the cup. I've flown on a bunch of airlines and am pretty easy going, but Frontier is a never again airline."
Cons: "I bought with several weeks my ticket and when I arrived to the airport I didn’t have a seat and they told me that they downgrade the plane and the solution that they will pay for my hotel room for a day and next day I’ll fly at 4. I was a very important meeting that they and couldn’t afford to lose one day un NYC. I bought in Jet Blue last minute ticket that cost me $us 370!"
Cons: "I didn't like that you pay for a carry on that is stupid when your flight is already $400"
Cons: "At least a coffee /water/ and a cool drink could have been provided. The yellow/black color seen in booking/check-in process sends CREEPS and CHEAPS, while the price is not at all cheaper than other air lines."
Pros: "The flight was pleasant. Departure and arrival right on time."
Cons: "I left my carry on bag at my departure gate by accident. When I asked the Spirit airline manager if I could get the money I paid for the carry on back. I was told the money was not reimbursable. What a rip off!"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything, they made us wait 7 hours, I paid for my bag, though, they didn`t notify me on my ticket. Terrible."
Pros: "Nothing!!"
Cons: "This airline charges you for even asking a question the worst airline out there I'm sopprize their still in bissnes stay clear and avoid major disappointment"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The staff was rude from the gate to some of the flight attendants not all. Poor customer service skills. The 2 ladies at the gate let me stand there for 5 minutes and never asked what I needed. One finally came over rolled her eyes and told me I needed to sit down. I told her no because the flight was boarding and she told me standby needs to sit down and wait . However, I had a boarding pass and simply needed a seat assignment and when I said this she sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes again and took my boarding pass. Extremely rude. Inside an attendant proudly walked down the aisle saying "ugh what's wrong with you people and these phones these days." Then proceeded to get on the intercoms and say "I will have them take the plane back to the gate if you just can't be compliant." Were we on a school bus full of children going on a field trip? How about you explain the reasoning and importance behind needing to turn off cell phones and stop use and maybe you'll have more compliance than getting on the intercom and threatening the customers. I have never been on a flight like that and after my flight back home I never will again. Cheap flights or not it was just AWFUL."
Cons: "There was turbulence throughout the flight. The pilots and the flight attendants announced that we should stay in our seats. People were in the aisles at all times. Several times they were thrown off balance. The fight attendants paid no attention to this they were so busy chit chatting in their area at the front of the plane. We were asked to stay in our seats for passenger safety. Total oblivion was exhibited. For this reason I will never fly on this airline again."
Pros: "I got where I wanted to go."
Cons: "With a baggage charge of $55 I will never fly Spirit again, and have told others to avoid it at all costs. The man behind me dug his knees into my back the whole trip; it seemed that the backs of the seats had no padding at all."
Cons: "Flight was cancelled. They couldn't offer an alternative flight on the same day or even the next. The customer service rep had limited English proficiency, which made it hard to understand why the flight was cancelled in the first place. I had to book a flight on another airline to make it to Detroit one day late. I was not offered a travel voucher to compensate for the extreme inconvenience."
Pros: "NOTHING they have horrible customer service. My fiancé flight was canceled we were meeting at myrtle beach which left me stranded. They would not accommodate him on the earliest flight to myrtle beach or would they accommodate me to move my flight earlier"
Cons: "Everything was HORRIBLE will NEVER FLY SPIRIT AGAIN THEY SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "$55 carry-on fee and $50 checked bag fee are preposterous and negate Spirit's 'competitive' fare. This is not communicated until you get to the airport and check in. Delayed for 4.5 hours and lied to about cause of delay. Discrepancy between what boarding agent said and what customer service said. Threatened by boarding agent that flight would be cancelled if passengers didn't board quickly despite presence of infants and infirmed. Confusing announcements by boarding agents who would mix up information for up to four different flights scheduled for departure from same gate. First and last time I fly Spirit. Apparently this review process is pointless since Spirit can opt not to post if it so chooses. Pathetic business practice on par for a pathetic airline. Will engage in a social media campaign against this airline."
Cons: "50$ for one bag is hilarious"
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Everything is over priced even for an airline. To pay for snacks and drinks, even water. That's ridiculous."
Cons: "Never again. Charged too much for baggage. Gate changed at last minute. Sat on hot airplane for 1/2 hour. Waited 1/2 for baggage to come out. Not worth cheap fare. They make up the cost in baggage fees and water on the airplane. You have to buy water!"
Cons: "6:30 AM Flight from LGA to FLL delayed 4 times every 2 hours. Finally Cancelled after I had been at airport 7 hours. Spirit said mechanical problems. Several passengers heard the crew say that the company was aware of problems the night before. Too cheap to hire outside contractors to start the job sooner. I never fly them again."
Pros: "Good Price for Direct Roundtrip flights"
Cons: "All the pestering about the Spirit Master Card"
Pros: "the flight and the captain. And some of the flight attendants"
Cons: "They charge for everything. Seats are very tight. And the head flight attendant was just in a nasty mood."
Pros: "Price is right/ on time/ they have everything down to a science"
Cons: "I don't know if I would use this airline if I was going on a long trip but short ones are great."
Pros: "Strangely, even though the seats did not recline, they were reasonably comfotable"
Cons: "Check in on line - I could not get seat assignments or check a carry on. $55 / carry on is over the top. Communication of flights, both of which were late, was bad. My boss told me "I told you so!" She was right = I wont fly Spirit again."
Cons: "Cancelled with only 2 hours prior notice. Although I got a refund but no way I could buy another ticket to go to Chicago to catch the connecting flight to Hong Kong. I ended up buying a new ticket directly from New York to Hong Kong, which cost me $800."
Cons: "They didn't give us seats and no other choice I lost all my plans"
Pros: "Nothing was good"
Cons: "I got to the airport one hour before the flight and they told me I missed it. There were more than 20 people waiting to resolve their special cases, like myself. I'll never NEVER ride spirit airl any more."
Cons: "The jet was too flexible.A little scary the Bag trick was not cool, my 113 $ flight cost 160.$ oops sorry mr consumer .!"
Cons: "Horrible in flight service"
Pros: "My first and last time flying with Spirit, for a multiple of reasons. First of, the flight was delayed over two hours, the gate agents were clueless as to why and how long it would be. Second, the flights attendants were unprofessional. I'm trying to use the bathroom in the back of the plane, but the door wouldn't open all the way because the flight attendant was sitting down, as she saw me struggle to squeeze in, she wouldn't bother to get up. Overall, it's and experience I never want to endure again."
Pros: "It was cheap"
Cons: "JUST KIDDING IT WASNT. AND IT WAS A HEADACHE"
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "everything"
Cons: "Did not buy a seat, along with 6 others who didn't and none of us got on our scheduled flight. First and last time I'll be flying spirit."
Pros: "The flight attendants"
Cons: "The delay in leaving, and the wait to get to the gate when we arrived."
Cons: "We were charged a high price for our luggage and charged to select our seats. The boarding process was poor. The gate was drab and the seats were set up in a way that made boarding a bit unruly. The seats did not recline and there was no wifi."
Cons: "The hidden baggage fee is excessive and absolutely unacceptable. $55 for a CARRY ON is ridiculous. The seats are shockingly thin and incredibly small. I was only on the plane for an hour and a half and that was enough for my whole body to be in pain. The fact that they charge you for a drink on the plane (even water) should be illegal. There was no food or entertainment to speak of. The whole airline is an absolute scam and a total rip off. I will never fly with spirit again."
Pros: "The price"
Cons: "Unorganized, delayed on both flights, charged for carry-on bags"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Timeliness, comfort, food, additional fees"
Pros: "Easy, smooth ride. On time and the flight attendants were very nice"
Pros: "The extra and add ons were crazy and not the value we had anticipated or expected"
Cons: "Extras and add-ons"
Pros: "The staff"
Cons: "No space"
Pros: "The flight was delayed 5 hours. Spirit worst airline ever."
Pros: "They should have free refreshment also price for luggage is pricey over the phone they tell you one thing when you get there it's different price seats are small I felt like I was in a sardine can"
Cons: "paying $50 each way for a bag. thought I was getting a good deal on the round trip ticket from NY to Myrtle beach. not so much."
Pros: "I arrived safely."
Cons: "Everything else. Zero customer service. No explanation as to why my flight was so delayed, no one took the time to genuinely apologize for wasting everyone's time. Staff seemed uninterested and didn't offer any consolation to their patrons. Even when on the plane, flight attendants didn't even offer complimentary water. Any other airline I have ever been on, flight attendants would try to appease patrons by offering beverages, snacks, vouchers. No such service was offered. Two patrons actually got in a heated argument while on the plane because everyone on the plane was extremely agitated. Every adult on the plane was consuming alcohol on the flight as a means to cope with how inconvenienced they were. Flight attendants did not even offer to interject. Everyone left the flight angry and promising themselves that they would never fly Spirit again. I hate knowing that I have to return to NYC via Spirit. Went to customer service and was given an email address so I could complain. I have never been treated this way before where even customer service doesn't offer anything but a disingenuous apology. I feel like even the staff members don't want to work for Spirit. I will never fly Spirit again. Worst flying experience I have ever had."
Pros: "Nothing except that I arrived safely"
Cons: "Everything. Terrible awful airlines."
Pros: "The seats were comfortable"
Cons: "The staff were very rude to the people in emergency seating. Took 45 minutes just get off the plane."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "They cancelled my flight for no reason and wouldn't rebook to another airline. I had to spend double the money to levee the same day. Never taking them again"
Pros: "The cabin crew was very friendly and polite. The flight took off on time, and landed early. Kudos!!"
Cons: "The seats are too narrow."
Cons: "Our direct flight from NYC to Fort Laud was canceled due to inclement weather in the Midwest. They then rebooked the flight for the following day: leaving at 830a and arriving at 4p with a 2.5 hour layover in Detroit (the very location of the storm which caused the cancelation!). Needless to say, we did not take that flight, and we will avoid Spirit altogether in the future."
Cons: "Cancelled flight and did not even apologize! They were quick to refund you."
Pros: "Traveling time"
Cons: "The ground crew was not very helpful or nice about requesting a change of seats for my two children who were under age."
