The staff were excellent, very friendly
Flight was smooth. Captain was polite and reassure our safe flight. Made it home 15 min early too!
Too many delays and maintenance issues
Pros: "The crew was amazing. But there were to many people on the flight for what’s going on. There were middle seats sold and people were upset."
Pros: "Kudos to the employees who really tried to help rather than pay mere lip service."
Cons: "The plane experienced a mechanical issue forcing us to return to the gate after waiting for an hour. The staff was clearly overwhelmed and focused on moving us along (Cheryl) rather than resolving our need to reach our destinations.it wasn’t until we found one extremely patient and persistent employee (LaShondra-?) who booked us through NYC rather than Atlanta so we reached Rochester on the same day. So the questions are- why don’t the airport hold a larger inventory of parts, why aren’t there back up planes and why doesn’t the software better cope with these types of situations?"
Cons: "I checked in last night for my flight and get to the airport early to check my bag but My seat Was given away because they said I did not check in, even though I went through security WITH MY BOARDING PASS. Then they Assign me a new seat and when I got on the flight, someone was in my seat"
Pros: "Entertainment was up to date."
Pros: "Delta service is always great!"
Cons: "Seats did not match seat map"
Pros: "More room in Delta Coach than other carriers"
Cons: "The delayed at the gate looking for passengers, could have been avoided by doing cross checks at the counter. The snacks need to change. For someone who flies every week like me, the cookies and cheeze it’s get old. Some variety will be awesome."
Pros: "No carry on fee, comfortable seat and pitch"
Cons: "Displays for zone boarding status would be helpful"
Pros: "none"
Cons: "ground staff was rude when I asked for clarification because the descripency between app in formation and unclear voice announcements."
Pros: "The movies offered were decent"
Cons: "I paid extra for a window seat I sit down after they squeezed us all in like sardines and come to my surprise there is no window in my aisles it had been covered up in plastic . First making my area narrow than all the other seats and between the plane leaving late and the terrible process of loading people on the plane . Delta airlines was all about the up sale from charging for every bag to charging for internet ,food so on and so forth. Also one bathroom in the middle of the plane ? REALLY ? Out of tissue , paper towels , and tissue one hour into the flight . What in the Hell is going on with this airline ? Won’t fly with them again ."
Cons: "Not enough seat room on plane. Hot not enough air flow"
Pros: "It was good organized. Staff were polite friendly and helpful. There was no craziness from the passengers. I loved the flight attendants were normal people. I saw older and plus size attendants. Given this diversity I am more likely to fly delta."
Cons: "Flight delayed 30 minutes on tarmac but holiday week so it could have been much worse. Slow deboarding process and air conditioning was not running and with the full flight it wS uncomfortable."
Pros: "Boarding was quick and prices were fair"
Cons: "I sat next to a creepy intoxicated man during my flight and I was not helped out. When I first sat down he was speaking to me and trying to hit on me but I showed that I wasn’t interested. I didn’t even have to sit down to smell the alcohol on him. During the flight he tried to place his head on my shoulder and tried to get close to me. I was too worried to call for an attendant because he was intoxicated but when the attendants would come and offer us food I tried to make it clearly visible that I was anxious and uncomfortable and NOTHING. To make it worse they continued to serve him alcohol!!"
Pros: "The staff"
Cons: "flights all on Delta - about one a week for 3 months straight - and yet when Delta cancelled my flight and re-booked they did not give me any upgrade or loyalty as I saw it - I had paid extra for Delta Comfort and they told me the flight they re-booked me on simply did not have any comfort available. However, I was not the one canceling the flight and re-booking - that is their problem and after so much loyalty for years I feel like I should have gotten some kind of upgrade for free...If I have to cancel - I have to pay fees - but if they cancel - I lose ...despite being a very loyal SkyMiles customer. I am quite disillusioned with Delta now and will have to look around to see what other airlines there are now - and my entire family - and what kind of loyalty they give to their loyal customers. It needs to be a two-way"
Pros: "Waiting in the departure lounce was ok"
Cons: "Boarding was kind of stupid Delta is boarding in Zones and starts at the front instead of starting boarding passangers sitting at the back of the plane and moving forward NO they do it the wrong way and due to that boarding takes to long and makes you frustrated."
Cons: "It was very hot and did not cool down"
Pros: "I am always impressed by the Delta staff. Top notch."
Cons: "The entertainment screens have an (older) head phone jack that many people do not have. The headphones available for purchase by the airline are of very poor quality. I also am surprised that airlines (not just Delta) continue to provide such low quality food options on flights. I think consumers would pay more for better options."
Pros: "Going by and come Ming back Atlanta check in desk was the rudest Laziest most disrespectful emoyees I have ever came across . Check in person played on her phone and didn’t even look at you when asking what seat was I assigned . Going from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale the check in person was so rude there where 5 people askI’m her what’s her problem . The crew the flight was excellent but the Atlanta check in desk really dropped the ball 2 times . If I was the manger I would fire the whole staff and If I was above the manager I would fire them as well as I’m. Sure this is not an isolated occasion."
Pros: "Crew was friendly"
Cons: "Paid extra for Econ Comfort but still got a seat with no in flight entertainment and they provided no food/beverage services."
Cons: "Late"
Pros: "The crew is always wonderful. The complimentary beverage and snack really makes the flight better, even in the tiny seats. The flights with tv screens and charging ports are great, although they only seem to be on my shorter of the two connecting flights."
Cons: "Crew allows the first zones to place both their carryon and personal items in overhead storage, filling the bins before many travelers board the plane. We are then asked to check our bag, and are forced to put our 1 bag between our legs, whole many people stored two overhead. Flight was delayed a few minutes and time was not made up in air. Delta changed a few of our flights before we were even off the plane, while other passengers were allowed to keep their original flight (originally we all had the same connecting flight). Looks to me like they overbooked and pulled some of us randomly. Also, my checked bag was sent on wrong plane, and sat unattended at next airport for 2 hours."
Pros: "Flight was good."
Cons: "we had a l long wait getting to the gate. Once we are the gate the delta staff had a hard time getting a wheelchair victim on the plane."
Pros: "The boarding was excellent. The staff was very friendly. The plane was clean."
Cons: "I wasn’t able to upgrade my seats because they were booked through a third party. I’ve never sat that far back in a airline."
Pros: "Our Delta plane was brand spanking new. Everything worked and the inflight entertainment system was fantastic with many movies to choose from, free headphones, games, tv shows, etc. The crew was polite and the seating at least as comfortable as expected for a 4 hour flight."
Cons: "The restrooms in the rear of the plane were remarkably small, even by airline standards. I'm a somewhat larger person and I fit, but I know a lot of people who would literally not be able to fit on the toilet without touching both of the sidewalls or risk getting stuck in there. The boarding process at San Jose Del Cabo was the most ridiculous setup I've ever experienced. There were numerous flights boarding out of the same gates and at least 3 or 4 lines for different destinations forming on a ramp just outside the gates. There were guys with signs trying to herd people into the correct lines and then loading the people onto buses which took you out to the planes. The planes were loading from both the front and rear doors and people were getting tangled up inside because of the haphazard loading process. Very easy for a person to end up on an incorrect plane!!"
Cons: "You had me check my hand luggage with expensive items that did not arrive."
Pros: "Service was quick"
Cons: "Flight attendants acted as though we were imposing. The service was quick though. If they had smiled at the passengers any, I would have given them 5 stars"
Pros: "Loved the easy check-in process, bag drop-off, boarding and flight."
Cons: "Not applicable."
Cons: "On the MSP to ATL leg the gate crew made a huge deal about checking rolling bags. They even stopped us at check-in and nearly begged us to check our bags pointing to the backed up jetway. But we had a lot of unpacking to do before checking our bags so we politely declined three times. On getting to our seats there were at least 8 open slots for bags near us. I heard a crew member call forward to say "tell them no more rollaboards" so they forced everyone left to check. On departure they slammed shut several very large empty overheads. WTF"
Cons: "the older stuardess on my flight from Cancun to Atlanta was very misinformed- told me my carry on wouldn't fit in the over head bin... it did. Told me I had to check my duty free liquor.. I didn't. Told me I couldn't bring all of my liquor in to the US... I could. I just kept saying ok to her just to shut her up, but she ensued with her comments and wrong info as if I don't travel as often as I do. Perhaps she was attempting to be helpful, but it came off as obnoxious and rude especially since she was wrong on every accord. Humbleness and customer service training would do her very good. All other DELTA staff have been great."
Cons: "The flight was an older crew , seem a bit rude sometimes especially during the beverage and meal services. Not all of the flight crew was like that, but the over all feeling existed."
Pros: "Entertainment was good. Delta staff seemed flat compared to other delta flights I've been on."
Cons: "Space. Economy on a long flight is not ideal"
Cons: "They moved me from my carefully selected seats to a row that would not recline. My flight was miserable!!!"
Cons: "I was told there was no more room for luggage on the plane. I had to check my luggage in and a lady behind me went with her luggage --- in fact 3 more people slip in."
Cons: "Planned my trip for my birthday/10 year anniversary. The first leg of the trip, flying from ft Lauderdale to atlanta was ok except for the pilot having to circle around bc he was too close to the airplane in front to land. This made us supposedly late to our connecting flight which by the way was not supposed to leave before 8:10. My husband and I arrived at the gate about 10 minutes before only to be told that the door was locked. Needless to say, we weren't the only ones. When we got up to the desk, the attendant was extremely rude. I was having a conversation with my husband about a dog that had just passed us . She immediately made her way into the conversation asking me what i was saying. I told her I was talking to my husband about the dog and under her breath said : " I'm sure you were." I then told her that i was more than sure about what I was talking about. We get booked on another flight and my seat was the only one without a working monitor. We asked the suitardess to see o If there was anything that could be done They tried to reset it to no avail. Since we didn't say anything else, it was forgotten about. My husband shared his screen with me so that I wasn't totally bored on the flight. Not the way I wanted to start off my birthday but I'm glad that nightmare is over Delta really needs to retrain their employees on customer service bc it leaves a lot to be desired!"
Pros: "Many thanks to Delta for changing our flight at an even exchange to get us out of Florida before the storm. I will fly delta again."
Cons: "Old plane to and from San Antonio. New planes make for a more comfortable ride"
Pros: "Gate agents were very helpful and kind"
Cons: "The flight was late. Not a lot of communication as to why."
Pros: "Flights were both on time and boarded quickly. Crew was wonderful!"
Pros: "The Delta planes on both legs were comfortable and the crew very pleasant."
Cons: "The check in lines were chaotic and I had already checked in online. I just needed to drop off my baggage, so to save time due to my early flight I paid more for the curbside check-in."
Pros: "Plane was clean, staff helpful"
Pros: "Great entertainment, good food, nice staff."
Cons: "You have to pay for the ckecked baggage ($25 per piece) and the airfare was not cheap."
Pros: "N/a"
Cons: "Delta costumer service was terrible. Cancelled my trip twice. They lied to us saying that they were going to give vouchers for hotel, that we were going to be automatically booked for next flight and that our bags would arrive with our flight. Waited 7hs to talk to an agent in the airport. 24h wait in Atlanta had to sleep in airport. They wanted me to wait three days in atlanta. They forced me to check a carry on because they didn't have room in the plane. They told me my bag would arrive with my flight. It never did. I still dont have by only bag. Unbelievable."
Cons: "The redesign of seats means that very few of Delta's planes can actually accommodate a sherpa-style pet carrier, even though they are an industry standard for in-cabin travel. Further complicating the problem is that the clearance under the seat varies depending where in the cabin you're seated. It's become an extremely stressful proposition for which I have the privilege of paying an extra +$100 each way whilst having to give up one of my carry ons. As far as I can see, the charge is just straight up greed, since no one would be able to use the space beneath the seat in front of me, anyway, and carrying on my cat cause zero extra work for the crew. I'm going to have rethink my loyalty to Delta. At least with Southwest, they'll let me check two bags for no additional cost."
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "it took 7hours due to storms"
Pros: "Staff did a good job boarding the plane."
Pros: "smooth landing, little turbulence and very accomadationg staff. Plane was clean and comfy seats. My youngest had not been on plane in quite some time, and the flight attendants my her very at ease"
The flight was on par with any flight zI had ever taken. the airport was extremely hard to navigate, harder than Ohare, in Chicago !
Delays and lack of communication was the order of the day with this crew! I’m completely turned off by frontier airlines
Cons: "Seating to close with Covid 19-"
Cons: "Stuardess told me the wrong time to be back to the gate and missed connecting flight"
Pros: "Price was great"
Cons: "That the seat are plastic and very uncomfortable BUT that what u get with cheap tickets"
Pros: "Boarding was quick."
Cons: "Seats were so thin and stiff, and no seating in the boarding gate. Seemed unorganized."
Cons: "The airline delayed flight from 7:45 pm to 1:20 am, then canceled the flight at 8:30 pm. I paid $600 for a Delta flight to get out of the city the next morning. Frontier offered reimbursement of $400, which barely covered the initial flight. The airline offered a hotel stay at a less than desirable hotel. I had to book a hotel at my own expense. I will not fly Frontier again."
Pros: "Spirit Airline Flight crew was pleasant and professional."
Cons: "Atlanta Hartsville TSA was highly unprofessional and extremely rude. As an Active Army Senior Non Commissioned Officer of 21 yrs I traveled quite a bit within the United States and overseas, and I have never witnessed or experienced a TSA/ security crew as unprofessional as the Atlanta Hartsville crew. They talked down to the customers and have no regards for customers with special circumstances. I was personally not affected but what I witnessed was the disgusting. I highly recommend that the Atlanta TSA be inspected/assessed on their customer service. Yours, 1SG Maurice Carter 315-262-3209"
Pros: "I liked that the crew was efficient."
Cons: "The uneasiness off the flight - jerking, rocking. During the descent the plane jerked in expectedly which caused a lot of uneasiness amongst passengers."
Cons: "I wasn't able to chose my own seat"
Pros: "Flight was on time and the crew was courteous and attentive."
Cons: "The layover was a bit longer than I would have liked."
Cons: "The poor way they handle things when the system goes down"
Pros: "What was great about the frontier experience? Absolutely nothing. Fly at your own risk."
Cons: "What was wrong? 1. Bait and switch you into a cheap fight that ends up costing over twice as much as the original booking. 2. Inability to speak with a human being over the phone regarding your flight. Finally: the only human beings at Fronontier to whom one could speak were very cruel, narcissistic, and put me in mind to never consider Frontier Airlines ever again."
Pros: "They gave me a 150$ Voucher but how will I use it. I don't live around the area"
Cons: "I did not fly"
Pros: "Nothing at all"
Cons: "This airlines ripped me off"
Pros: "new and clean airline and was in timely manner"
Cons: "Flight delayed 2-1/2 hours, which I understood, the weather was horrible - BUT First the desk clerks were rude and as if people weren't irritated enough this didn't help Then the flight attendants were rude - all around miserable flight AND they charge for EVERYTHING - you may think you are getting a good deal on tickets, but you pay $40 for a checked bag, the same for a CARRY ON you pay for a decent seat they don't even give you peanuts without charging you I am done with Frontier - will never fly it again!"
Pros: "A small back of Pritzel and cup of water would be nice ."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "The amount for a soda"
Pros: "Every time I fly frontier, there's always a problem with the plane. This time they have people working in the cabin trying to resolve an issue that is delaying us. It's always something with this airline. I am going to stop flying with them."
Cons: "At no time was I made aware during my booking that they were going to charge for a carry on. It ended up adding $75 to my flight. Paying extra for sodas and for your seats. Seats that made riding a city bus seem like first class. The plane seemed like they bought it at the used plane lot, it even made noises in Flight that sounded like they had to restart the engine. Flight attendants that were rude and unhelpful. I'd rather spend the extra $ for a more dependable/reliable airline that doesn't run their business a la carte."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Nothing good about this service"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "We had already paid the luggage fee and just needed to drop off our bags for our MCO to DEN flight. It started with no curbside check-in. Incredibly poor service at ticketing/baggage check. A mass of people. No directions. Even employees (when asked, not one volunteered any information) didn't know which line was which. Only four people working the counter. And then the airline called for people leaving on a flight after ours and brought those passengers to the front of the line. When we got to the front of the line the employee's response was "You need to be here three hours before the flight." For a midweek domestic flight? ATA treated us like this once. They're long gone. Goodbye Frontier."
Pros: "I had no problems with the crew or employees at frontier."
Cons: "I was aware that this airline charged for carry-on's and beverages that other airline companies usually provide fee of charge. However, there were several other issues that I had that soured the experience for me. First of all, the seats were considerably less comfortable. The backs of the chairs were plastic, the try table was so small it might as well not have been there at all, and the leg room was terrible. On the way back there was a line of about 300 people at the Frontier desk to check baggage. I don't know if they simply did not staff appropriately, or if there were too many flights scheduled to take off around the same time, but I've never seen anything like it. They did attempt to fix the issue by pulling the people who had sooner flights to the front of the line, which I was thankful for or I would have certainly missed the flight. However, this could have been avoided by planning flights more appropriately, and certainly was not the most fair approach. Finally, we had to wait for about 45 minutes for our checked bag after the flight as well. This could have been the fault of the airport itself, but I've never had an issue with baggage at this airport before. Overall, I don't think the extra saving was worth it, and I'll likely be flying with a different airline in the future"
Pros: "Great service in flight. I received a row to myself!"
Cons: "Seating was very close together not a lot of legroom on economy."
Pros: "Staff had a very personal and friendly way of dealing with the passengers! All passengers were personally guided to their seats. VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE!!!"
Pros: "The efficiency of the boarding process. It was organized and fairly expedient."
Cons: "The exorbitant additional fees. Absolutely absurd to charge for a seat and carry-on luggage in addition to the plane ticket itself. My carry-on suitcase is HALF the size of the traditional size and paying $30 to bring it on the plane is insulting. The chairs were uncomfortable. They don't recline, no head rest, and no blankets were on board which made resting for my 5 hours across the country EXTREMELY uncomfortable. For all the extra fees you'd think a movie and some snack packs might be available. Then again, with the trays too small to fit even my mini iPad, there'd be no place to put them. No in-flight entertainment was a bummer too. I've usually been so happy on Frontier. Bit this experience will keep me from flying Frontier ever again."
Pros: "We were forced to wait 15 hours with one delay after another. With one excuse after another. My flight was scheduled for 1001 am. We did not board the plane on time. It was 1145 pm and I did not get to Cleveland at noon, no it was 3 o'clock am with no chance to rent a car to go home I had to call my daughter! And the best part was that my 75 year old wife had to endure this.they would not cancel the flight and allow me to take my wife to a hotle. There were parents with infants as well that was not happy.So to Hume it may concern You have lost several customers because of your failure to take care of your customers!"
Pros: "The fact that they charge for carry on luggage encourages people not to bring those over sized bags. So finally there is some room for your stuff."
Cons: "The fact that you find out after you booked that there is "NOTHING" included. You want to check a bag, "That cost extra" You want to bring a carry on bag, "That cost extra" You want to sit with your wife, "That cost extra" You want something to drink, "That cost extra" The worst part is that you have to pay extra for each flight separately. By the time you add all those "That cost extra" together, you can book a flight with an airline that at least serves you a cup of coffee during the flight."
Pros: "Very poor customer noservice"
Pros: "The staff was friendly."
Cons: "We couldn't leave our gate for over an hour due to a computer issue. It was an early morning flight and had to go hungry since they didn't even offer peanuts."
Pros: "I like that I finally returned home finally the following day, however, I had to purchase a rental car and hotel an additional day for my inconvenience."
Cons: "During boarding on the original day of return back to Atlanta, the rep that was boarding the passengers closed the gate earlier than 10 mins so before I could return from the restroom she closed it. I was within the 10 min timeframe because I returned back to the gate at 5:34 am and the flight was scheduled to depart at 5:45 am. The plane/crew/passengers were still sitting at the gate so it was an inconvenience."
Pros: "I like the fact that I was a really really smooth flight. The attendants was pretty cool, very professional. I was able to get a seat in the front row which was super awesome."
Cons: "What was really a bit upsetting for me was, when I went to check in at the front desk, the airline attendant was helpful and very professional. My boarding pass did not have the gate number printed on it, and I didn't even notice it until I got passed TSA. I felt like it was the attendant responsiblity to make sure everything on the boarding pass was correct, and my reason for saying so is I was too busy or focused on getting to security and thinking about the rest of my travel. it was just my luck that I remember to check my online itinerary that was sent to me via email to see the gate number. I know this may not be the airlines fault, but On my flight we left ahead of time and landed super on time, but still spend almost an HOUR!!! due to some maintenance issue at the gate in Atlanta. It was an horrible experience, I had a meeting I was suppose to be at at 8am. Everything was going so right with the flight I felt like I was going to make it. I just felt that the entire situation could have been handle a bit better :("
Pros: "Nothing at all and I really don't complain but this was very Un acceptable. I'm retired military and law enforcement now lost for words"
Cons: "They lost our luggage paid luggage fee now no luggage flew for military funeral no uniform shoes now......funeral within 12 hours . Can not wear uniform.... not happy haven't heard from them. But they did give us a toothbrush and toothpaste for one person..."
Pros: "It was comfortable and fast. From now on I would rather fly than drive."
Pros: "This is my return flight. The cost of the flight was something like $90 round trip from ATL to orlando international. No brainer. I'll take it."
Cons: "After spending $90 on the flight I got to check in the day of and find that it is going to cost me $40 down and back to bring a CARRY ON. I then find some fine print that says how to get around the $80 round trip fee. Get a carry on that fits under the seat in front of you. So I pack in a small backpack that can "fit under the seat in front of me" and have less clothes than I want for my trip but am able to offset the almost 100% increase in cost. They didn't appear to care that people had carry on at the terminal despite saying it was going to cost way more to check at the terminal than online. So some people had paid, other didnt. That seemed to irritate some of those who had paid as we talked about this with other people on the flight. I probably could have brought a full size carry on and not had to pay for it, but who knows. On our way back, we were 30min early on 5:45AM flight from ORLANDO, GREAT RIGHT?...but because Frontier did not have their act together, there was no terminal for us to unload from. We actually then waited on the tarmac for over an hour waiting for Frontier to back a plane out that was not even flying until later that afternoon. Our seats in our row did not recline back. I dont know if that was part of the low budget thing or something was broken. We were not in front of an exit row. There was not actually a button to push, so I assume it was part of the low budget thing and they just don't recline. On check in, more cost issues come up - pick a seat...not just a seat for things like extra leg room or up front. They will make you pay for a middle seat next to the toilet if you want it. No one wants that seat, but if you want to sit next to the people in your party, you are going to have to pay for it. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. I was going to give it a little bit of a slide b/c I knew that it was a budget airline, but, after all the nickle and dime issues, when we had to wait for an hour on the tarmac, I blew an internal fuse and just made my overall bad experience, worse."
Pros: "The flight landed early."
Cons: "We spent 15 minutes taxi-ing off and on the runway. Baggage was sent out 27 minutes after passengers left the aircraft. My seat was at the end of the aircraft, and I had to pay extra for that, and had sticky gum all over it. When I told the flight attendant, she said, oh no, really? The flight attendant did nothing to help me be reaseated or clean my seat. After a passenger vomited, the flight attendant did not help the passenger by providing anything to cleanup. The aircraft stank of vomit as we sat in the runway for 15 minutes. The flight attendants woke me up to sell their credit card, but not to provide refreshments/water. The announcements went on for over 10 munutes. My seat was surrounded by screaming and crying infants and nothing was done to help those mothers calm their children down. The seats had very little leg room for anyone my height and taller (5'9"), despite having to pay for the seat. I will not fly Frontier ever again. The upfront low price doesn't reflect the baggage, carry-on, and seat add-on fees, so it's very deceiving."
Pros: "Nothing!!"
Cons: "My flight was delayed for 6 and a half hours. On top of that the airline charges $35 each way to have a carry on so I had to pay $70 on top of my already $200 something ticket. Then they charged $2 on the flight for a soda which is normally complimentary on all other airlines I have flown on. Then when I called customer service they said there was nothing they could do or credit any of the fees I incurred from paying for carry on baggage and said it was too bad the flight was delayed they didn't care at all."
Pros: "The crew was very professional and very nice. The equipment was new and clean, which is also greatly appreciated. Excellent job in these two areas."
Cons: "Absolutely do not like that Frontier Airlines does not offer TSA Pre-Check service for its passengers who are enrolled in the program. I was not aware of this ahead of time, but it was confirmed to me after looking at my ticketing and speaking with several TSA agents from my departing airport, Orlando (MCO). They said Frontier is one of the very few carriers that do not participate in this program for some reason. I would love to know what that reason is? This is a very important feature for me. Without a good reason for not offering this service, I must say I am far less likely to chose Frontier in the future, along with having to make recommendations to my colleagues to avoid Frontier for this reason for their travel needs as well."
Pros: "The staff is amazing and very friendly, first time flying frontier"
Pros: "Frontier airlines is horrible. The seats are so uncomfortable and the ladies that work on the plane are so rude. Each time the pilot make a elevation change it was sudden and it felt as if the bottom was dropping out of the plane. I will never fly Frontier Airlines again"
Pros: "the flight was short and sweet, slept through the whole thig"
Cons: "Drink prices are terribly pricey and the seats arent comfortable, but you cant beat a cheap quick flight!"
Pros: "Very good!!"
Cons: "Monster brat screamed the whole way. Parents shrugged because "it would be wrong to discipline the little darling". Most of the passenger wanted to throw the brat and breeders overboard!"
Pros: "The crew was very warm and friendly. They truly made it an enjoyable experience."
Cons: "I was a little dismayed to see that I would be charged for a carry-on bag. To carry on one bag round trip would cost me $80, when I only paid $60 for the entire flight."
Pros: "I travel monthly and have found an airline that fits my budget, friendly, and delivers overall great customer service from the entrance to the the exit!"
Pros: "The crew member giving safety instructions was a rookie. However the other crew members were quick witted made us laugh."
Cons: "The extra fees just kept rolling in! By the time I covered baggage cost and picking seats and buying snack I could have flown first class on another airlines! I will never fly this way again. The seats are like lawn chairs, the trays are metal slabs too small for anything and everything on the plane is noisy! We had a child who would not quit playing with his tray or arm rest. Pinging or crying all the way to Atlanta. Bellowing not just crying! Yes, I have children and yes I know how hard it is to fly with a small child. But not once did his mother make him stop! My teen had her first flight anxiety attack due to the consent pinging, crying and the scary flying maneuvers from the pilot. Never flying Frontier again!"
Pros: "Price listed on Expedia"
Cons: "Add on charges that made Frontier much more expensive than other airlines. I won't make that mistake again."
Pros: "I liked the crew members. They were very nice and helpful."
Cons: "I realize I should have researched prior, but I was extremely disappointed and shocked when I realized that I had to buy my ticket, THEN buy my seat, THEN also pay for a carry-on bag! My carry-on cost more than had I checked a bag. With any other airline, the carry-on is always the best way to go... but not with Frontier. Then, we did not even take off for over an hour due to 'wrong paperwork.' The plane seats were paper thin uncomfortable, the tray that folds down wasn't even large enough to hold my laptop. Finally, I've never been on a flight that doesn't offer a complimentary beverage. I found it very rude that after the charges left and right that you aren't willing to give passengers a water. I will never fly Frontier again and I've told all my friends and family to do the same."
Pros: "Plane was clean"
Cons: "Paying for a soda and no snack"
Cons: "WiFi and charge ports for my phone"
Pros: "My first flight on Spirit was great."
Pros: "AVOID THIS AIRLINE AT A COST. AFTER EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOU ONLY SAVE ABOUT 100 BUCKS SO FLY DELTA"
Cons: "EVERYTHING. EMPLOYEE WAS RUDE TO MY WIFE IN LINE AT ATLANTA AIRPORT."
Pros: "Window seat"
Cons: "Late take off, uncomfortable seats, it took about 20 minutes after landing to get off plane, lights went off while trying to get off plane."
Cons: "Our flight was delayed leaving Orlando to Atlanta at the last minute. By the time it was all said and done, we didn't leave the Atlanta airport until 3:30 am since we had to deal with the luggage issue. I'm more so upset at the fact of our luggage being lost over anything. Which is definitely Spirit's fault. So we basically paid $55 extra for an over weight bag only for it not to show up. Not to mention the poor customer service from the attendants at the airport. Never flying Spirit again!!!"
Pros: "Staff gave me a refund for return flight& baggage fee"
Cons: "I was supposed to depart at 10 pm. Flight was delayed twice via email & again once I arrived at the airport to 1:40 am. Around 1 am, the flight was cancelled. There was almost an angry & very immature mob at the gate desk for flight rebooking or refunds. There were few flights for the following evening, which sold out quickly; then rebooking were for the day after that. They did not offer to cover any hotel arrangements. The staff handled it pretty well, but it made my wait to get a refund even longer. I had to find a rental car to drive overnight from Orlando to Atlanta. I finally got home at 10:30 am."
Pros: "Everyone was very professional and kept thins moving even though there was a technical issue with the PA system"
Cons: "It would not hurt to smile from time to time. Just felt very impersonal."
Pros: "Cheap."
Cons: "No one at check in deck.extra paid for fast check through , but did not work.had layover in Atlanta, but did not know if we had to change planes or what."
Pros: "They refunded the cost of the "big" seats when it was not actually in the plane as offered on the website."
Cons: "When I went online to purchase seat assignments, I purchased the "big" seats for my family. It was my small children's first flight and I wanted it to be special. When we boarded, the second row was not the "big" seats as advertised on the website for this flight. My family got split 3-1 across a row as opposed to 2-2 with an entire row. I was also unable to allow both children the window seat they were looking forward to having."
Pros: "N/-"
Cons: "7am flight. Finally lands in Atlanta at 1pm...."
Pros: "Flight attendants were pleasant."
Cons: "The flight was delayed but there was little to no communication to the passengers. Having to pay for a drink and a carryon bag was off putting, but I guess that's how they make up for the cheap flight rate."
Pros: "they at least gave us a full refund"
Cons: "they cancelled our flight but didn't send any emails. I found out when I went to check the day before. didn't provide us with any other flight options. had to completely cancel our trip to florida and rebook Disney, losing those reservations. absolutely terrible. I WILL NEVER FLY WITH SPIRIT AGAIN"
Pros: "Lost me at check in."
Cons: "They charged me $55 each way for a carry on bag, what a joke!!! Get you to buy a ticket, then cover the cost with $110 carry on bag fee, Really??? I will never use the airline or discount travel agency again! Talked to three other passengers that feel the same way."
Cons: "$50 luggage charge was disgusting."
Pros: "That the plane was really on time."
Cons: "No good service. Service try to sell you overpriced snacks and drinks. Carry on bags $55, Drop off bags $52."
Pros: "Cheap flights. No delays."
Cons: "Have to pay for everything, I couldn't even get a cup of ice without buying a drink. Was sat in the back of the plane in the center because i didn't want to pay extra for a closer seat. Boarding was alright, no issues there. I'm a bit larger guy so seats were super small and I was sat next to an even larger guy. So I was super uncomfortable."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "They almost made me miss my flight if it wasn't delayed I would of missed it and on top of that they lost my bag with all my clothes shoes and my blood clot and my cegulitis medicine that I have to take twice a day"
Pros: "The price"
Cons: "That I missed my flight because check in machines were acting crazy and the line was ridiculous...booked an expensive one way with delta but way better plane"
Pros: "We were in a line to check in our luggage for an hour, plus they charge you for everything. Overly priced."
Cons: "The flight was delayed and the Spirit staff kept telling passengers that boarding would start at a set time and then continued to change the time. They continued this until there were no alternate flights available from other airlines. It was frustrating and inconvenienced a lot of people. Also, Spirit's baggage fees are ridiculous. My husband and I paid almost as much for our carry on bags as we did for the tickets. This was my first experience with Spirit and I doubt I would choose them again."
Pros: "Departure and Arrival time was terrific!"
Cons: "The comfort of the seats was terrible."
Cons: "I was charged $65 for a carryon that was an inch too large to be personal. Ridiculous"
Pros: "Length of flight"
Cons: "Uncomfortable"
Pros: "Easy check in"
Cons: "Last minute gate change"
Pros: "Not much, first impression is the POOR, subpar customer service wen getting your boarding pass it sours the rest of the experience."
Cons: "1. Baggage fee 2. Subpar customer service 3. ground team seem very inept"
Pros: "This airline gave me the first time that a plane left on time. I have never in my 64 years witness such a feat and I travel a lot. I will be traveling on Spirit more often."
Pros: "Good"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "When I was checking in for my return flight there were only two counters open. A flight had been cancelled and they were addressing the needs of those passengers at both counters... The passengers who were waiting in line to get boarding passes were frustrated."
Pros: "I almost missed my flight, last one out of MCO that night (due to the horrible customer service of Norwegian Air) and your team did everything in their power to help me get there. I also had to leave my luggage with customs to make it, and your girl Ebony in baggage claim in ATL got it back to me in a day! You guys turned a truly frustrating situation with Norwegian into a smooth transition. Thank you so much!"
Cons: "Everything is perfect!"
Pros: "I got home"
Cons: "Not used to no service"
Pros: "Everything was great! Stuff was really sweet and helpful."
Pros: "Nothing, the tickets don't seem cheap once you buy them."
Cons: "Worst flight experience I have ever had. I will never fly spirit again. If you want to offer a deal then make sure it's a deal and not all back handed ways to make the same money."
Pros: "The flights to Chicago and Atlanta were both smooth. I got to my final destination quickly. I was offered a coupon for 2,500 miles. The attendants were professional and respectful."
Cons: "My initial flight was canceled because of a mechanical error. My flight was supposed to leave at 7 am Saturday morning. I was supposed to be in Georgia around 8:30 am. The people in charge did very little to rectify the situation. The pretty much treated me and the other passengers like we were to blame for the plane not working right. I had to get booked on another flight which took me to Chicago, then Atlanta. It took me 14 hours to get home. Like I said, the airline didn't do much to rectify the situation. They gave me a lousy food voucher worth 7 dollars. Not much I could do with that. On top of that, I had to go through security twice. The second time I went through, a security officer threw my shampoo, sunscreen and body wash away because of some stupid regulation involving liquids. The first time I went through, nobody said anything about it. I hold the airline and the airport responsible for my stuff getting tossed out. I will at least be using the miles Spirit Airlines gave me. After that, I don't think I'll be traveling with them again"
Cons: "Computer system shut down for hours, everything had to be printed prior to boarding, I only had an IPad, so I went to a relative's computer and couldn't get it to work either. I arrived so much too early so I could get help."
Pros: "Great Price."
Cons: "Return flight was canceled. They did not provide hotels for overnight stays, but the will give you $7 for food in the airport food court. You have to pay for every bag you take on the plan whether you check it or not."
Pros: "Uneventful"
Pros: "Clean"
Cons: "We left late and uncomfortable seating"
Pros: "Arrived at my destination."
Cons: "Flight landed 30 minutes late and then we were delayed another hour with no explanation after being told it'd be only 10 minutes after the last person got off the plane. Unfriendly not even dating to border on polite."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Only give 7 dollar for food. All restaurant cost more for a meal. Plane was delay 5 hour."
Pros: "Cheap"
Cons: "You get what you pay for. Sat on Tarmac for half an hour waiting to get off the plane."
Pros: "Price was great!!"
Cons: "The flight delay... Bad"
Pros: "As far as the flight was concerned, pretty regular"
Cons: "Didn't like being nickeled and dimed for everything on the flight, which was not made apparent until well after getting the ticket. Also did not like having to wait several hours to take off due to a poor implementation of a new computer system. A malfunction is one thing but this sounded more like a failure on the company end."
Pros: "The crew was friendly."
Cons: "Our flight was delayed two hours and no one could tell us why. One hour was spent in the airport in relative comfort, the last hour was spent in the cramped airplane at the gate. The seat are flimsy, the tray tables are maybe the size of an iPad, and my water was $3.00!! Oh and on top of that, they charged me $55.00 for my carry on! I'm never flying Spirit again."
Pros: "Had all sorts of issues and questions. Your website ks not user friendly (spirit airlines). I wont use spirit again. I want a real person to speak to. Also, customer reps at Orlando for spirit did not speak or understand clear English. That simply should not ever be the case in the United States. It caused us to be further behind. All kiosk were out of order as well."
Cons: "I wasn't told there was a charge for a carry one and for picking your seat, so my flight went from 120$ to 230$ because I brought a bag. If I had know i would have packed less. The front desk person was very rude, and the supervisor was rude and inflexible. They were stone faced and unempathetic. I was just looking for some understanding and empathy. Then the flight was delayed."
Pros: "Respectful airport staff and flight attendants."
Cons: "My flight was cancelled the first time after waiting in the airport for several hours on "flight delay", and the second time after having to already reschedule for next day, and then AGAIN rescheduled the third time. I spend more on paying for ride to and from the airport than the ticket itself. Also, baggage is overpriced."
Cons: "Hidden fees and charges made this more expensive in the end than other airlines, but had no frills, either."
Pros: "I landed."
Cons: "Flight was late for no apparent reason. Flight attendant rude & unprofessional when people are frustrated from waiting, bit he is making jokes and acting street or ghetto on the job. The customers are ignorant, fussing and bickering, getting smart with other flight attendant, who's doing her job. I thought it was about to cause another delay. I thought the cheap fare was a deal but this makes the saying "you get what you pay for", true. Never again will I go near this airline. I think the cheap flight attracts a class of people that otherwise would never fly. My flight home on Southwest was excellent, only 13 more with free bags. Spirit charges cheaper prices online than at the counter and higher prices than quoted during booking. I'm done. 5 thumbs down is what this airline gets."
Pros: "Fun crew and low price"
Cons: "Everything else sucked."
Pros: "Four hour delay in departing from Orlando."
Cons: "Four hour delay in departing from Orlando."
