My youngest didn't have a assigned seat until we biard6the plane.

I got the last seat on the plane, in the back in the corner against the window, and I paid a competitive price for my ticket several weeks before the flight.

Long delay before boarding. By the time I was informed of the delay I was already at the gate.

There was no seating at the gate, no where to charge your devices, super crowded. Boarding in group F meant all luggage space was taken when it was time for me to board. The boarding crew was short with everyone and seemed irritated. The luggage space was insufficient, the seat was too small for me (6'4") and very uncomfortable trip. I was in a middle seat between a person snoring the whole trip and a person with very strong body odor. The flight crew was terse and unfriendly, seemed irritated and impatient. Yelled a lot at people with earbuds in, understandable. Finally, we arrived 10 minutes early, only to sit on the tarmac for 20 minutes and wait for a gate. Worst flight experience I've had in years.

Check your emails that you sent me. 9 emails were sent telling me that my flight is Delayed. Each one with a different time 7:10, 7:55, 9:31, 9:09, 9:29, 9:44, 10:00, 9:49, and 10:10. That was how my experience went.

It was my first time flying Alaska Airlines and first time flying from Santa Rosa airport. The staff was very professional and friendly. Their instructions were clear and any question was answered satisfactorily. My seat was comfortable and the in-flight beverage service very adequate for the duration of the flight. We arrived ahead of the scheduled landing time and deplaning was simple. I look forward to flying with Alaska again.

Personal demeanor not good on flight returning to LAX..Great and superb on the way to Portland

No non-alcoholic drinks available except water and small apple juice cans.

Flight attendant took my carefully folded coat and flung it across the aisle to the bin across the way. Where one of the passengers rescued it for me, because that just wasn’t right!!

First time flying with any airline that has decent seating. Great experience crew was friendly and the pilot was as well.

It was a perfect flight in all aspects! Both legs!

Great flight, 47 passengers on a 180 seat plane. Stewardess was pleasant and cheerful.

I liked the crew member who gave flight instructions on "in case of a problem:. The seats are so small that only a young teenager could sit in middle seat.

Great flight staff. Ease of boarding. Overall, very uneventful and easy trip.

Employees were kind and funny, as always! Flight was late but no announcements were made for people with tight connections to help them transition quickly. No service due to turbulence.

I recently flew Southwest from San Jose to Honolulu. I was very impressed with the flight crew, especially the flight attendant in charge of the front of the plane. She came through the aisle at least five times for drinks and water, and two times for snacks. I have not seen such service since I flew first class. Also, for the first time, they gave us the correct baggage claim number, and the luggage came out quickly. I can't wait for Southwest to have assigned seating! I absolutely hate the Cattle Call boarding procedure and the mad dash to get seats and overhead bins. However, the boarding was efficient.

We had a nice flight. Boarding was easy, our seats were comfortable and the on board service was pleasant.

Service was great, boarding and exiting went smoothly, and the flight was very pleasant.

Was as expected. Crowed planes. Too many carryons delaying takeoff. But the ride only took an hour and saved me a lot of time SFO is a not a great airport.

Was as expected. Crowed planes. Too many carryons delaying takeoff. But the ride only took an hour and saved me a lot of time SFO is a hell hole of an airport. It is the new LaGuardia. Everything Cobbled together. Security gates closed. Terri directional signage

Delta is a premier airline so my expectations are most always met.

Everything was good except when we're on a 6 hour flight at dinner time and all they offer as part of the fare are little bags of junk food, it's disappointing. Bring back food service without an added price.

Left on time and arrived early this extending our 31 minute transfer. Bags made it also!

I love my flight attendant Faith, always smiles always helpful. She makes the flight experience wonderful thank you

My return flights were changed by the airline and my preferred seat selection with extra legroom was not transferred to the new flights

I actually received a notification from kayak on email but not one by text from Delta when my departure gait changed and I almost missed my flight

New boarding doesn't make sense. Filling front first is slow.

Nothing unusual. It was fine. I hate having to pay extra for my seat.

The flight was so late that I had to change connecting flights, turning a five-hour trip into a fourteen-hour nightmare.

My flight consistently said it was on time and the plane didn’t arrive until after 30 minutes after take off and nothing was announced to passengers

We almost missed our return flight. We got to the gate one minute from closing the cabin door, and the agent got us aboard the plane! We are so very grateful!!!!!

The flight there was frustrating but the flight home was very good.

Flight was delayed in phoenix by 1 hour. When Kenny got to minneapolis st paul, Kenny missed his connecting flight to Duluth on Sun country air. Sun country customer service did nothing to help Kenny get home to Duluth. We will not fly with sun country ever again.

When we landed in Minneapolis from Providence, the ground crew was unable to move the jet bridge to meet our plane because the wheels were frozen. We waited patiently on the plane for about 45 minutes while they tried to solve this problem. It was mind boggling that this would not be more quickly resolved, or anticipated, in a place where sever winter weather is the norm. We stressed about meeting our connecting flight to Portland, which we assumed would be our only option for that day. Fortunately, when we finally raced from our gate to the next one, that Sun Country flight had been delayed so we didn't miss it. We decided not to take anything but direct flights from now on, no matter how much cheaper.

No line to check my bag. Reasonable overweight fee. When the connection was late due to weather, the gate agent opened the door and let me on the second flight. The plane waited for my luggage transfer. My bag arrived on time at my final destination:)

I had paid for a seat assignment at the time of reservation but when I checked in the night before it wasn’t there. Had to purchase another seat.

So unprofessional. They changed my connecting flight to a time that made it literally impossible to make the flight with no way to contact them or reject the changes. When I missed the flight as expected, there was no one to be found at their ticketing counter and the phone support put me on hold for an indefinite time. Since they didn't have another flight that day, all sun country air personell had left the airport (this was at 7pm) and my only options were to get a hotel for the night and come back the next afternoon to hopefully get rescheduled or buy a flight with another airline.

I purchased an aisle seat but was put in the middle seat surrounded by families with small sick children (3). That can happen anytime and I was prepared. The ticket agent questioned why I hadn’t paid for my luggage and had to explain that 2 pieces were included with my ticket. I hate that nickel and diming attitude. Please inform your staff better.

I know the airline has been open for 40 years and the flight crew looked just as old. The flight attendants were not friendly and rude. They should think of retiring this crew.

The crew was friendly, but I only got a drink, no food.

I mean, it’s Spirit. But it was frustrating to have our flight canceled, get bumped to a later flight, and then Spirit was unwilling to check our bag until 4 hours before our flight… tell us we could not sit in the waiting area’s chairs… and really negative experience getting checked in and dropping the bag.

terrible service, no room for a dog underfoot, a broken chair that is impossible to sit on and all this costs a lot of money

It was fast but uncomfortable seats. Had to pay a bit extra not sure why? Maybe in selection of all my 4 tix together ? Just knew I had a balance before getting boarding pass online when departing from satx ? And flight was delayed..

Last minute 2-3 hr delay in flight schedule; no explanation Unexpected extra $52 charge What's the benefit of choosing a cheap airline if you trick people last minute and force them to pay extra last minute? Did not appreciate being cornered.

Seats are uncomfortable and too close together. Also, you missed my connection in Vegas on the way back and I ended up sleeping in the airport, flying back to Burbank instead of LAX and I got home 12 hours late.

Surprising everything went well. Nice attendants and fast getting on and off the plane. Overall, was happy with the experience.

Non-professional acting crew, Very uncomfortable seats…!! Very bad pricing with all the add-ons for seat choice, luggage fees, etc….soon you’ll charge extra for oxygen. The ticket price means Nothing because in the end, the actual amount i paid, i could have and will in the future continue to fly on a real airline…

With this price, I shouldn't complain on anything. I understand I have to pay for every services they provide. The plane could smell a little better. Advise them to use frebeeze to freshen up the interior a little bit.

Terrible. 1st and last flight on Spirit. Check in process was a nightmare. Despite arriving 1.6 hours before flight we had to be pulled from the ridiculously long line to “self check” our bags which took 10 min and required assistance. Seats are very uncomfortable , don’t move, no pockets, no entertainment, no wifi Basically like taking a time capsule back to the 70s. No thank you.

They kept delaying us and not providing any information which cost us hundreds of dollars . We had an event to get to and missed our even that we had paid for along with lots of wasted time and money booking nee flights.
