Flight was great even though it was delayed.
Great staff nice planes.
Boarded late and then sat on plane for 45 minutes because of a clerical error...whatever that means. Then only one truck to deice plane, adding more time to our take off.
TsA was fast and efficient. Boarding was effortless, fast. Having a new and clean plane only amplified the experience
Pros: "great everything!"
Pros: "Flight was good and crew were good. Nothing very outstanding but by no means a terrible flight."
Cons: "The in flight screens weren't working well."
Pros: "Everything was on time and ran smoothly. The seats have more room than most airlines. They were generous with drinks and snacks."
Pros: "The airplane seats and entertainment were 150% bettter than American"

Cons: "Vegan Options for snacks"
Cons: "No sandwiches for sale just snack boxes"
Cons: "Better choice of snacks"
Pros: "The fight was very professionally carried out."
Cons: "The gate agent hurried ineffectively to board our slightly delayed flight (around 10 min). She left open the Priority Lane and boarded all pax there, having to step 4 steps to the left to scan every boarding pass."
Pros: "It was ok"
Cons: "Seat the family together"
Cons: "Announcements were too loud in earphones (could damage ear drums) and entertainment was turned off while waiting 30 min for the gate to open."
Cons: "Taxied at ORD for 45 minutes waiting for a gate to vacate."
Pros: "Pilot was super nice and informative when the flight was delayed."
Pros: "The crew really kept us updated on the many delays."
Cons: "There were SO many delays and they kept changing. At one point we got on and off the plane."
Pros: "Grateful Delta still has drink and snack service. Also grateful to still be able to bring a carry on on board. Good movie selections."
Pros: "The crew was excellent"
Cons: "Better breakfast and the seats weren’t very comfortable"
Pros: "Everything was good except boarding was delayed several times and even after everyone had boarded. We arrived 2 hours behind originally scheduled time as the result."
Cons: "Delta needs to try harder to minimize flight delays."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Flight was delayed 2 hours. Even though I had carry on, they checked it and this made me waste my time at baggage claim rather than gate checking. Flight attendants were miserable. Power supply didn’t work at seats."
Pros: "The seats were ok."
Cons: "The flight was delayed over 3 hours so I missed my connection in Chicago to Seattle. I’m now stick in Chicago overnight and have to be on a 6 am flight tomorrow. The Delta staff at LaGuaurdia was extremely rude and not helpful at all. Hate Delta......"
Pros: "None of it"
Cons: "Everything. Can it please leave on time for once"
Cons: "Delayed 3 hours"
Pros: "Amazing crew and clean cabin."
Pros: "Friendly greeting and goodbye.goog entertainment."
Cons: "Too hot, attendant did not know plane."
Cons: "Plane journey awful. Speaker had a loud buzzing noise all the time so never heard a word bad landing. Rattling plane Very cold."
Pros: "good job over all"
Pros: "Staff, service, options"
Pros: "Entertainment on the flight was fantastic."
Cons: "Delta really struggles with trying to get everyone in the plane in an orderly fashion. Window seats must climb over all of the aisle passengers that got on before."
Cons: "Could not get my boarding pass from Delta for the flight from PHX to LAX. Aeromexico did not confirm that leg of the trip, so I lost all day and had to buy another ticket for tomorrow. Still, Aeromexico has not solved anything"
Pros: "I flew on a basic economy fare (I understand the restrictions) and was seated in Economy Comfort +, so that was appreciated."
Cons: "I could see on the Fly Delta app that I had been placed in seat 10B, but neither the app nor my boarding pass gave me a group to board with, so I assumed that I needed to board with group 3, which necessitated gate-checking my rollerboard bag. Only when I approached the gate to board did I notice on the info screen that I had been "upgraded" to Comfort + and granted boarding with the Sky Priority group. I wish this had been clearer so I could have avoided waiting to board and gate-checking my bag. Minor inconvenience but room for improvement on Delta's part."
Cons: "Full flight and tiny seats surrounded by 2 300lb guys and they wouldn't let me switch my seat."
Cons: "It was cold"
Pros: "got to the plane even though the ground crews had a lot of people to get bags checked for even down to 30 min to flight departure but still got their bags onto the plane"
Cons: "massive rips in the bag"
Pros: "This was not my original transfer flight but everyone was much nicer and helpful than serious and being rude. Love Delta, I did not flight United because I wouldn’t have met my United flight once landing in ATL. The Young African American woman who was at the gate was amazing and so reassuring that I would make my flight to Chicago. Would book Delta, just because of how nice she was to me."
Pros: "Flight was on time. Boarded quickly with no fuss."
Cons: "Too tight and seats not comfortable."
Cons: "Delayed"
Pros: "The Delta people were solicitous, efficient and brilliant the whole way through. We had not a bit of trouble. Our first class seats were comfortable, but with the supplied blanket, pillow and poor air conditioning it was a hot flight. The cabin personnel were wonderful as per usual, and my tasty gin and tonic soothed any discontent. I wish I could fly this way all the time!"
Cons: "The private contractor handling wheelchair assistance was terrible. A Delta employee theorized that they do not pay enough to attract and retain personnel. Our pre-arranged chair was not there, multiple calls by our Delta assistant finally got us a ride to the chair holding area, but after about 45 minutes we gave up and shuffled off to the security area on foot. Thank goodness my hubby is mobile enough for that to have been an option. When we abandoned our wait we were still 4th in line for an attendant to push the chair. If Delta has any responsibility in this it would be in the retention and compensation for the private contractor."
Pros: "If you're willing to pay the upgrade, the entertainment system and ear buds should be in working order! Seats still uncomfortably narrow and audio system on plane should be audible!"
Pros: "Airline stewards were very friendly and pleasant."
Cons: "We booked with Delta, but were put on Air France. Even though we had our boarding passes in hand we had to wait in long, slow line for baggage tags because they would not print from kiosk. There was minimal Air France staff on duty serving thousands of passengers during busy season (July). While the lines grew larger, the staff was reduced from 4 to 2. Another long, slow line for customs, another long slow line for security=Charles De Gaulle airport was awful. We arrived at the airport 4 hours before our departure time and got to our boarding gate with no time to spare."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable, seats did not recline and seats way too close together."
Pros: "The Flight crew was great and the pilot got us there with the least amount of delay as possible. Thanks everyone!"
Pros: "What I liked: Sky Priority privilege came with separate luggage check-in queues and early boarding"
Cons: "What I disliked: Seats were too small No beverages or snacks offered No USB or power outlets available Three different groups board before Delta Comfort (e.g. those needing more time, travelers with children, first/business class) Didn't see the value compared to a less expensive main cabin ticket"
Pros: "I was notified about the delay via text before I left for the airport, which was nice. I would not have checked my email."
Cons: "Delayed for over 2 hours. I have never flown Delta before this flight and it wasn't a great representation. The flight attendants were nice but I was in a seat near the engine and it was making really weird noises. I fly almost every two weeks, so I'm used to engine noises but this was one of the loudest/most rickety sounding flights I have ever been on.. and I have flown Spirit a few times. It just didn't feel safe. Landing scared me a little too as I have landed in O'Hare countless times and have never flown so low to the highway upon entry. It felt like we were only a couple hundred feet above the cars."
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: "Smooth. Fast."
Pros: "Crew was fine. Seat was mediocre. I was in the last row and the seat didn’t recline. Was bumped by crew and passengers for the duration of the flight."
Pros: "The crew was polite and helpful"
Cons: "The plane was 30 minutes late arriving in MSP"
Pros: "Check in was fast, didnt interact with any staff! It was great."
Pros: "Crew was professional, courteous and kind. No issues on the plane."
Cons: "WiFi did not work for me to watch the on board entertainment, but not a dealbreaker for me."
Pros: "The trip was as to be expected. The low cost was the absolute best thing about this trip. If the cost is going to be that affordable, I will definitely take more trips with sun country and recommend it to my friends and family."
Cons: "The only issue w/the flight was that we sat on the tarmac for about as long as the flight took. There was something going on at the gate we were to arrive at, and that left us on the tarmac for about 45 minutes or so. Then there wasn’t very good air flow. Should’ve had an alternate gate."
Pros: "They didn’t let me on I want a refund this made me miss my birthday party in Chicago thanks for ruining 25"
Cons: "Refund"
Pros: "Both of my flights boarded and left a little early. This is so rare and minimizes stress."
Cons: "There were no snacks available"
Pros: "the crew was friendly"
Cons: "the wifi only working for one site wasn’t my favorite but not a dealbreaker"
Cons: "The entertainment didn't work on my newer iPhone."
Pros: "Nice staff and plane. Loved the USB outlets for every seat."
Cons: "Boarding time was slightly late"
Pros: "Everything...thanks!"
Pros: "At least there was a USB port to Charge my phone."
Cons: "The flight was three hours late and suncountey lost my luggage. When I looked at my claim ticket it had someone else’s name on it."
Cons: "The wait time at the airport."
Pros: "Everything about the fligh was excellent."
Cons: "The ONLY thing that spoiled it was an unusually long wait for bags once we arrived home. Why you would have 6 flight coming in to the same carousel I will never understand. To wait for more than 45 minutes to see the first bag come down is awful & put a huge damper on an otherwise stellar flight."
Pros: "Nothing special."
Cons: "Both flights were late 15-30 minutes leaving the gates."
Pros: "I was able to get an aisle seat."
Cons: "Turning all the lights on at beginning of descent-I was sleeping. Flight was late because of previous flight coming in to Phoenix."
Cons: "Having to pay for carry-on luggage! I have a CPAP and have to carry it on. NOT cool Sun Country. Your cheap fare just went off the chart."
Pros: "Non stop flights the only plus"
Cons: "Boarding staff was totally rude and unprofessional I will never fly sun county again!"
Cons: "I could not get a boarding pass on either flight, going or returning; the Sun Country website is a disaster. Also not happy about its new baggage policy."
Pros: "Staff"
Cons: "1. No warning about change in carry-on policies. Really crappy. 2. Online check-in- no warning that exit row seat assignment must be checked in in person at counter- added burn- no refund for the upgrade. Really awful. I won't fly Sun Country again."
Cons: "We paid extra for exit row seats they did not recline and seats were SO uncomfortable...not your fault I know just saying airlines in general have gone downhill."
Pros: "Clean plane. Plenty of leg room."
Pros: "Wheelchair assistance"
Pros: "It was nice"
Pros: "Check in wxcellent"
Cons: "Service slow on airline. Only seemed to cater to first class"
Pros: "the crew were good. and they gave us $20 meal vouchers and $200 travel vouchers"
Cons: "the airplane broke in boston and we were stuck there for 7 hours before we could board."
Cons: "My flight time was changed multiple times, the final change was not communicated and myself along with other passengers missed the flight. Employees refused refunds, failed to apologize and/or provide a phone number to reach Sun Country. Did not offer to reschedule or assist in finding another flight. Overall seemed unorganized, unhelpful, and common courtesy for customers was not exhibited. Never flying with Sun Country again,"
Pros: "I loved my flight but there was no snack unless you pay for it"
Pros: "Easy and painless. In fact, while I was getting my bag checked at the gate, the Gate CSR noted that there was an aisle seat available and asked if I wanted to move from a middle seat to the aisle. At 6'3", I was very grateful for the ask."
Pros: "Friendly crew, flight left and departed on time, good value for the money. Terminal 2 at MSP is really convenient. Can't comment on the food, I didn't eat on the flight. I don't need to be entertained. I will definitely fly Sun Country again."
Cons: "Seats are cramped."
Pros: "We were allowed to free check some carryon bags due to full plane."
Cons: "So crowded with the narrow aisles. Attendents constantly bumped aisle passingers with rolling carts. Aisle arm on my seat would not come up despite repeated attempts to push button."
Pros: "Flew down Tuesday and back Wednesday - all flights were on time and everything went smooth."
Cons: "When we got to the counter for our return flight, they told us Olivia's flight was not paid for. I couldn't believe it, as they never said a word on our way to Phx. She had already been assigned a seat along with my other daughter & I. Our 3 tickets were booked at same time and were all charged at once!"
Pros: "Crew were very nice. I'm sure it was the end of a long day for them, so they were probably ready to be done - more interaction between themselves than the customers."
Cons: "Seats not very comfortable. Too bad that comfort has to be given up for profitability..."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Although seats were assigned when purchasing the tickets, I wasn't able to print boarding passes that allowed my travel companion and I to sit together"
Pros: "Everything was on time and efficient."
Pros: "We made it home alive, stewards smiled a lot"
Cons: "No one at desk for check in, then when boarding there was a man standing in the aisle that would not allow me to pass, I had an infant in my arms but he refused to move even after multiple requests. I had to squeeze past him. When plane was fully boarded he started to vomit. He vomited multiple times before we started moving. Steward asked him if he was okay to fly and he did not answer, just nodded a bit. He continued to vomit, was unable to use the bag properly, he appeared highly intoxicated. He vomited into the aisle and all over our shoes and pant legs and carry on bags. We told the stewards who went and grabbed a package of paper towels and shoved them at us. They moved the passengers on the other side of him up to the front of the plane but said nothing to us. No one apologized. Twice we were told our baby was the baby of the year but that was the only remark."
Pros: "The crew was pleasant, kind and observant to passengers needs. Plenty of smiling. The beverage selection was truly fantastic. We were informed of any changes and the crew was very accommodating."
Cons: "The window seat that I requested on the way home was just a blank, white wall. I noticed quite a few passengers that waited a bit long for the return of their credit cards because of a slow, faulty or outdated card reader."
Cons: "Being delayed and disorganization around the need to have more people check their bags"
Pros: "Better leg room than some other airlines. Flight was on time. Let us check our bag at the gate = faster boarding.no food"
Cons: "No food or entertainment, should have a 'not applicable ' rating."
Pros: "Seat next to me was empty so I had room to stretch out and relax with armrest up!"
Cons: "We were late boarding in PHX but no explanation was ever given as to why?"
Pros: "Doreen L, our flight attendant was so kind and cheerful to us and everyone she served. She is definitely one of if not the finest flight attendant at Sun Country!"
Pros: "Great service! Comfortable seat. A+."
Pros: "Friendly customer service. Efficient boarding. Liked being able to board early because I did not require overhead bin space."
Cons: "Complimentary pretzels or other light snack would be nice."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and accommodating. I forgot that Sun Country serves cheese burger hamburgers, keep them on the menu."
Cons: "People switching seats prior to take off in the airplane. This needs to be enforced that people need to stay in their assigned seats unless approved by the crew."
Pros: "I got to my desinations on time to and from."
Cons: "The seats were small and uncomfortable. It felt like I was squished into my seat both flights, and that was even being on the aisle. While I don't expect every seat to be made for an obese individual, having enough space in the seats so as not to require scrunching your shoulders every 20 seconds would be appreciated."
Pros: "Smooth process, direct flight."
Cons: "No peanuts or treat of any kind"
Pros: "Excellent service all around -- from baggage check and pre-boarding process to inflight delivery and early arrival. I also loved departing from terminal 2. Great job Sun Country!"
Pros: "larger seating. Overall"
Cons: "not enogh professionalism in same crew members"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Seat was not comfortable. But plane was on time and crew members were polite."
Cons: "Improve seats."
Pros: "I like when the flight was over and I left the plane. This airline is the worst in the business."
Cons: "The women at the gate rambled on and on each time she spoke. Rather than sticking to the boarding zones and keeping at that it was a constant annoying reminder about having to pay more money. The flight attendant don’t do their job. They spend more time Selling the credit card program than anything else. I was asked to put up another passengers seat tray as this passenger was asleep. This is not my job. They all stood in the front gossiping about who knows what instead of staying on the ready for the passengers. They look down upon and speak down upon. As If the crew was doing us a favor when it because of us they even have a job. Worst airline experience ever. I will never fly this airline again. The gate agents a check in couldn’t even speak proper English."
Pros: "Not much."
Cons: "First and LAST time flying Spirit. Once I had to pay the fee for having a carry on bag, the price came out closer to one of the airlines I should have used instead. The website address didn't even work from my phone, so I had to pay the $65 gate fee for the carry on. The seats weren't comfortable, didn't recline, no cushioning. No inflight entertainment of any kind. During the flight, I got up and went to the front to use the bathroom (which I KNEW was empty) and the staff directed me to use the ones in back. Why? And they never reduced the cabin pressure on the descent! The cabin was still completely pressurized for the higher altitudes well after we touched down. This feels like such an amateur mistake that simply isn't acceptable."
Cons: "Luggage never came"
Pros: "The flight attendants were really nice, funny, and attentive. They were great."
Cons: "I think it is insane that the overweight charge is double. The baggage fees are insanely expensive and the seats are so close together on the plane you feel like you are sitting in each others lap. Considering how many passengers they have on the plane and how much money they make show how horrible the baggage fees are because clearly they are making profit. Also, you can't even get water without paying for it. Everything here costs, this is why I will continue to fly with Southwest and I will never fly with this airline again."
Pros: "I was unaware that Spirit charges fees for carry on bags! Talk about hidden in the small print. $55 per bag. That’s a significant increase. I’ll never travel this airline again."
Cons: "See above."
Cons: "Seats cannot be moved. "Trays" were the size of an I-phone. Very loud (drunk) passenger was annoying (not Spirit's fault) Screaming child out of control (not Spirit's fault)"
Pros: "Boarded the aircraft quickly and left on time."
Cons: "Airplane reeked of vomit and vinegar. Seats were dirty and you have to pay for water."
Cons: "Flight was delayed, have been sitting on the Tarmac for 30 minutes, no water is being provided. I'm 5'3" and my knees are pressed up against the seat in front of me. I would rather have paid the extra money to fly Soithwest."
Cons: "I didn't like that you are only allowed to take one personal item on them flight."
Pros: "Absolutely nothing"
Cons: "From the moment I checked in the limit for bags was 40 I s not 50 I s. The bag price to check one normal was 50$ plus 30$ if it was under 50 not 40. The customer service could not have been more rude the flight was delayed 6 hours for “crew “ reasons. We were given only $7 to use and. Or bing eas openfor food. Awful experience never want to fly again."
Pros: "I liked the service person who maintained a decent attitude."
Cons: "Not knowing what was going on. Not having received notice before arriving at the airport. The 1 carry-on $55 fee is ridiculous. Being directed to United as a replacement without being told it would be 30 mins before the change showed up in their system, trekking all the way over, having them tell me something was wrong, trekking all the way back to Spirit, and then having a different service person snap at me that that was normal, as if 30 extra minutes and unnecessarily going back and forth wasn't anything to do with them. This is my second such experience with Spirit."
Pros: "Literally nothing"
Cons: "Spirit emailed me 12 hours before my flight telling me the flight had been cancelled. No call, just an email - and it was sent after 8pm, so it was lucky that I was checking my email that night. I called and they said they wouldn't be able to get me on another flight out until a day and a half after my original flight, so I ended up just cancelling the flight entirely and buying one on another airline. It took me 2 phone calls (2.5 hours each) to get Spirit to issue a full refund. The worst part? The flight wasn't cancelled. I found out from someone that had been on an earlier Spirit flight that was also cancelled that I had been booted off the flight so that they could rebook people from their flight. I looked on Spirit's site and sure enough the flight had reappeared and was accepting reservations. Absolutely unacceptable to lie to your customers and just boot them off of flights where they had paid for checked bags and seats in favor of other customers."
Cons: "Both flights were delayed . I did though receive prior e mail communication about the Tampa flight being delayed. Once in Chicago, no gate listed on my ticket, all personal kept directing us to a gate that a flight to Boston( which was delayed also ) was boarding at the same time my flight to MSP was.suppose to board. absolutely no communication whatsoever about where my flight was or was being boarded or that is was delayed, until 5 min before boarding time . This experience was very irritating and upsetting.. pissed me off and will keep me from using Spirit Ailrlines again!"
Pros: "Cheap flight"
Cons: "Overnight flight & Flight delayed by 1 hour."
Pros: "The flight time was shorter than usual. (It is usually a 4 hour flight, actual flight time was 3.5 hours)."
Cons: "There was no leg room even if you are sitting all the way back in the seat, the seats don't recline, they charged for water, the aisles are so small that if you have any body part the tiniest bit out the crew will hit it hard without warning with their food cart, the plane was not particularly clean, and the flight from Chicago to Phoenix was still expensive ($300), and charged $30 for a carry on bag."
Cons: "it was late as always"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "No room no service horrible everything"
Pros: "It was fine"
Pros: "Arrived on time and they boarded well. You get what you pay for. Cheap flight and nickel and dimed on everything else."
Pros: "I enjoyed the fact that the boarding process was simple and that the crew on the plane was nice."
Cons: "Getting charged $50 for my check bag was ridiculous especially since the spirit website was down for practically an entire day. The crew at the front desk who handled this was very rude. Additionally I requested that I have the aisle seat on both flights and whoever the brainchild who did seating placed me at the window seat on both of my flights. There was even an adequate amount of empty seats that I could have been placed in. Finally, why are the tray tables the size of my wrist? Granted I was trying to use it to lay down, but even if I was trying to use it for food and drink, or to put a laptop on, it would have been next to impossible."
Pros: "The boarding process went quick and smooth especially since we had 3 small children with us. The ticket prices are nice but with all the extra fees it's like highway robbery"
Pros: "Cheap flights."
Cons: "We were told our flight was downgraded and that 35 passengers needed to switch thier flight as there was no seats available. We had a group of 5 people and 2 did not have seats. So we volunteered to switch our flights as we were told we would leave the following day at the same time all together, get a hotel for the night, food vouchers and 2 free round trip flights. So when they were switching our flights they booked 3 out of the 5 who volunteered and they told us we could not be on the same flight. Eventually they got us all on the same flight but that was 4 or 5 hours later. In regards to the food vouchers we were informed we could only use them in the airport but we were not allowed pass tsa as we did not have boarding passes. We then asked about our luggage as we had checked them in when we first arrived and they informed us they pulled them out of the flight and they were going to be at luggage claim. When we tried to get our luggage at baggage claim we were then informed that no luggages were pulled and they were already in transit to chicago. So the supervision told us that we could buy whatever items we needed for the night and we would get reimbursed later, which keep in mind we had to take a taxi from the hotel to a target near by. This whole process was ridiculous and it seemed as if no one was able to provide us with accurate information. Had we known it was going to be such a hassel and inconvenience to ourselves we would have never given up our seats to begin with. Pedro was the name of the person at the gate who informed us we would have a flight all together and that was false in which carlos had told him. Rosario at check in was patient and helped the most but she informed us our luggage was going to be available for us and that was false. Zachary manning Katona was very unprofessional and rude to us as well as his coworkers. And edier the supervisor informed us we will get a reimbursement for the items we buy since our luggage was shipped back to chicago, so lets see if thats true or false when the time comes."
Cons: "The seats were much more confined than flight to phoenix, I asked if I could occupy empty seats behind me, I was told no by flight attendant, medical purposes, yet one of them occupied during flight. I was very uncomfortable and in physical pain afterwatd, I will pay more $$ next time for extra room in other airline. I was also charged twice for reserving carry on luggage. Paying extra to eliminate these factors will be worth it too me."
Pros: "not much - low fare i guess"
Cons: "uncomfortable seats.. extra fess for almost everything including water.. no legroom.. delays"
Pros: "One customer service woman at the airport."
Cons: "Literally everything else. I could not have had a worse experience. Spirit's online system changed unexplainedly changed our address without our knowledge, therefore preventing me from checking my fiance in online. I spent too much time attempting to talk to them about it over the phone, and ended up being late to leave for the airport. On the drive there, I was able to get ahold of a customer service representative on the phone who purchased my fiance's luggage, seat, and checked her in over the phone. We arrived 43 minutes before the flight, and were turned away while attempting to check in her bag, being told that she was not checked in for the flight, and it was now past the mandatory 45 minutes before flight time and would not allow her aboard. I spent the next 2 hours arguing with customer service, where they accused me of lying and said that they don't even offer to check in people over the phone. I could go on, but it was absolutely awful, and we weren't able to be placed on a flight until the next morning."
Pros: "The crew was nice, I guess."
Cons: "It started with my flight being delayed a literal 6 times throughout the day, it was the last flight of the day. I checked in the night before and saved my boarding pass as a PDF since I don't have a printer. When I arrive over an hour before my latest and most stable delayed time, I'm not allowed to print a boarding pass at the kiosk and am directed to speak to someone at the desk, but lo and behold, they've already left for the night. TSA tells me they can't let me through because of course Spirit boarding passes aren't scannable. When I speak to the Spirit rep in baggage claim as TSA suggests, she tells me she can't help me, can't print the boarding pass, and that I had to call reservations to REBOOK my flight because I was "late" for a flight that I already checked in for and was still over an hour away from leaving as far as I was updated. Two other men were in the same situation and we basically had to beg people in Southwest to let us print our boarding passes so we could get on the flight. I was successful but I don't think my comrades were because of course when they logged in to Spirit, they no longer had access to the boarding pass, despite also checking in online earlier. When I get through security and the gate, I find out the flight is leaving 40 min earlier than any flight status update reports. NO notification anywhere. I was so hesitant to fly Spirit knowing their history with others but I was going on a < 36 hour trip wanted to save $. Spirit will never receive my business again. They intentionally create systems to inconvenience people and provide poor customer service."
Pros: "Boarding was alright, pretty quick and that's about it."
Cons: "Well let's start at the check in, so I got to an airport about 40 minutes before my boarding(usually what I do when I fly with Southwest), went on to check in my bag, once I got there the receptionist was extremely rude, as well as uneducated on the layout of the gates, as soon as my bag got checked in she threw it off the scale and told me to move on as soon as I asked her why she is being so aggressive with my baggage. Then when I was boarding there were no smiles by the crew, the seats were extremely uncomfortable, and I was waiting for a water for about 15 minutes asked a crew member again and she responded with "You are not the only passenger here, I will bring you your water once I'm done with other passengers" and for the 15 minutes I did not see her help a single customer. I am so disappointed in this flight that I am not flying with them back, instead I spent just a bit more and will fly out of Chicago with a different airline. Avoid spirit airlines at all costs!"
Cons: "The crew members were rude and I felt inconvenienced by any request (only made one--for a beverage). I witnessed extreme rudeness of the crew members to other customers as well. The seats don't recline and are quite thin and hard. Without doubt, this was the most uncomfortable flight I've ever been on (as was the other flight on this trip on a spirit plane). I will not be flying spirit ever again. I paid for my checked bag 24 hrs in advance and still paid $42 dollars. I luckily had a printer where I was staying and could print my boarding pass to avoid being charged for that. All that being said, even with my planning and following "spirit 101" guidelines on their website, I ended up paying the same I would have had I flown another (more comfortable, less inconvenient) airline with better customer service."
Cons: "Spirit airlines claims it has the lowest fares. I had to pay more for this flight than my Delta flight. I was not impressed with the fact that you have to pay for your seats ($10) if you want to know where you're seated when you check in. That doesn't even make sense. Then you have to pay even for water! For goodness sake on a two hour flight that was already delayed by an hour they had nothing complimentary to give us. I was freezing the entire time back to Chicago. In fact I was very uncomfortable because I don't think that the seats even went back. I felt like I was hustled by Spirit airlines and will choose not to take them ever again."
Pros: "You can tell the planes have been updated and they were comfortable."
Cons: "All of the joking done by the stewards on the overhead microphone. Too many jokes and their content, it wasn't funny at that point it was unprofessional. Super disappointed about having my luggage left at my city of origin and the earliest I was offered to get it returned was in 24 hours! So I'm in a new city with no clothes at all and the rest of my continents that were in my suitcase. Arranging to have the suitcase dropped off is not enough to counter the worry and financial inconvenience that comes with not having your stuff. I am thoroughly disappointed and will never fly with spirit again"
Pros: "Not much."
Cons: "You nickel and dime for every aspect of the experience, from checking in, selecting seats, carrying on my bag, getting a beverage. Then I get to my seat, which for some reason has a folding trey table within the seat, making the seat smaller than the others. I'm a tall man, this was the most uncomfortable flight I've ever flown on. I was squeezed into a seat that didn't fit. I won't be flying with you again, and will suggest my friends and family not as well. You charged $55 for a carry-on bag? What a con!"
Pros: "Even though boarding was late, we arrived in Chicago on time."
Cons: "The baggage was so slow to arrive at pick up that we missed our connection bus and had to wait another 1 1/2 hours. It took 30 minutes from landing before the first luggage appeared on the belt!"
Cons: "This was one of the worst travel experiences in my life. After arriving to LGA, I found out that my flight was outright cancelled because the pilot no showed for his shift, and therefore all flights with that plane/crew were cancelled outright. While Spirit did offer to buy me a ticket on another airline, I had to wait on hold for over an hour for my call to be answered by the customer service team. The customer service member who finally answered my call was very polite, but told me that the next available flight to ORD was in two days. When I explained that this was not going to work for me, she then said that the next available flight was at 4pm and connected through DC (1. it was 8am at the time, and 2. I had originally purchased a direct flight). Since I needed to get home to Chicago that same day, I accepted this flight on American, even though I knew I would have 7+ hours to kill in the gate at LGA and there was a layover late in the day in DC (which means there was a chance I would be stuck in DC overnight if the evening flight didn't get out of DC). While waiting the 7 hours at LGA though, I learned that American Airlines has direct flights to Chicago every hour and that each one of those flights had plenty of available seats. Therefore I am extremely upset with Spirit for lying to me. Outright cancelling a flight is bad enough, but then to be untruthful when rebooking because of their company's mistake causing me to spend 13 hours traveling instead of the two initially intended, is completely unacceptable."
Pros: "Flight was safe."
Cons: "Luggage policy, no drink, last time I had a very rude boarding person from Spirit treat me the worst I have ever been treated from an airline."
Pros: "The price of the ticket"
Cons: "Was delayed almost 2 hrs and was already a redeye flight. Cramped seating and have to pay way too much at airport for a carry on."
Pros: "Crew was very friendly Arrived on time."
Cons: "Seats did not recline. It was a red eye flight. Plane was extremely hot! We had to wait over 30 minutes (once we arrived at baggage) for baggage to be unloaded at ORD."
Cons: "At least they didn't charge for carry on duffle bag."
Cons: "My flight was delayed longer than 2 hours. Spirit overall has cheap prices for flights, but everything else is horrible. The delay felt like forever. The flight itself seemed kind of rough. You still have to pay for your luggage. It's almost worth it to just pay for a more expensive flight so that you do not experience all these annoying problems."
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "canceled the flight, NO options for another"
Pros: "I liked that I was boarded in group 1. I don't know how that was selected but I was happy to receive that option. The travelers on the flight were all very friendly. I'm not sure if it was because I was surrounded by Midwesterners or if those of us who fly on Spirit are a weird bunch. There was a collective sarcasm about Spirit and the quality of the airlines expressed by the passengers. No bashing, lightly comical."
Cons: "I did not like the lack of interest by the flight attendants. I understand that this is a budget airline, but a smile shouldn’t cost extra. It felt as if we were inconveniencing the crew with our presence on the plane. They did not seem to enjoy their job very much at all. The seats on the plane were very close together. There was very little room in any direction. I was glad to have an aisle seat. I felt that the baggage fees were excessive. The website claims that the airline is more cost effective because the travelers only pay for what they use. My expectation was to receive a low cost flight, pay for my bags as necessary and receive an overall savings to the other airlines. I was willing to give up some comfort for cost savings. At the end of it all however, THERE WERE NO COST SAVINGS. The “discounted” base fare, plus the bag fees ended up costing more than the other airlines. What I gave up in comfort did not justify the costs that I had to pay financially. I will not make that decision again. My overall experience with Spirit was dissatisfaction. In the future I will make other arrangements."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Customer service in Phoenix"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "The flight was cancelled as we were leaving for the airport. No suitable alternatives were offered."
Pros: "I arrive home"
Cons: "Extra Charges for everything. Seats do not recline, etc."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Everything. Not worth the time, only saves money for emergency flights."
Pros: "the crew was friendly on the trip TO Scottsdale..."
Cons: "on the way back, just ok. The employees at the gate in Phoenix airport were making already delayed flight at 2 am even more tedious of a process.... directions dragged on, seats were mixed up... "you will need to listen to understand"... she should have been making it easy and pleasant for us. Also, we thought we got a good deal but add on baggage charges, pick your seat charge, ended up costing more than other airlines... the seats do not recline and seating is tight..so we paid more for a worse experience. it's impossible to sleep in that position. we will never chooses Spirit again"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Spirit cancelled our flight. Spent 4+ hours on the phone attempting to reschedule. After requesting to speak to a manager I was told I would get a call back within 3 to 24 hours. When I spoke to a manager, I was told that Spirit only had a flight available 2 days later, that I had waited too long to reschedule my flight (I called spirit immediately and waited in hold for hours), and that spirit would do nothing to offset the cost of having to spend two extra days waiting for the flight they offered me 48 hours later than scheduled. We cancelled our flight and spent extra money booking last minute flights on another airline. Will never fly spirit again and will advise anyone that's asks to do the same."
Cons: "The seats were too squished and didn't lay back, but at least the flight wasn't full so we could lay down. That made it bearable."
Pros: "Crews was very good time on and off managedwell"
Cons: "Seating small"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Spirit is terrible"
