Pros: "Crew was kind and helpful. Snacks were great!"

Pros: "New aircraft A320"
Cons: "Late,"
Cons: "1 hour flight delay"
Cons: "Flight was delayed nearly 2 hours without any compensation to the passengers. I frequently fly jet blue and whenever they are that delayed not weather related the staff frequently gives the passengers a complimentary cocktail. Also your boarding process makes little sepnse to me why board from the front of the plane more sensible to board back to front"

Cons: "No space."
Pros: "Love Delta...plenty of legroom. Nearly always on time"
Pros: "When our flight was delayed by four hours they gave us snacks at the gate. No one offered to reschedule."
Cons: "The 45 minute wait in the Sky Priority lane to drop off baggage. The flight was delayed because of weather and then their scheduling system crashed. Had to wait for a pilot. When we finally boarded at 5 we got peanuts in first class. That was worth the mileage upgrade. Upon landing there was a 1/2 wait on the tarmac to get a gate. That same plane, upon taking off back to DTW blew a tire upon take-off, had to do an emergency landing and everyone had to spend the night in NOLA after being delayed all day."
Pros: "The prompt transfer"
Cons: "My one piece of hard shell luggage has a special, difficult way of latching. As long as nobody opens it, it stays fine for shipping. The problem is your greedy Chinese luggage handling thieves who work for your airlines in Chinese airports. Whenever they can steal from luggage, they always try to steal from passengers, particularly American. I have had multiple experiences with theft from Chinese airports. I have been to China and back to the USA five times. Many times, items have disappeared from my suitcases in Chinese airports. That is why I decided not to move to China to live but instead move to Indonesia. However, if I fly any plane that transfers my luggage in China, I can usually expect to have my luggage robbed. Although this time, nothing was missing from my luggage, that fact that your people had to wrap my suitcase in plastic (because they did not know the secret for relatching it) and resend it a day later, that is proof that one of your airport personnel opened it to see what he could steal and then got caught because he could not close it again. I am really really really tired of you Chinese thieves. I blame all of you because you are all a product of Mao Tse Tung’s godless atheistic evil society. The Chinese have proven to me again and again that they cannot be trusted. A Kong Chinese official even stole my Ohio driver’s license when I transferred through that airport on a previous trip to Jakarta. I understand your problem. If you fire all dishonest luggage department workers, you will not have any workers remaining. That is why you will always rank as a third world backward primitive society even though you buy expensive airplanes that you don’t build and dress your people up like professionals which they aren’t. AS LONG AS Chinese airport luggage people are dishonest and cannot be trusted, your entire airline is a failure. That is not prejudice against Chinese people. I know some honest good ones. They are all Christians, the kind of good people the corrupt Chinese government hates. An atheistic country is an evil country. Do not expect to be respected by honest people. You people clearly do not deserve it. You are still in the stone age when it comes to professionalism which requires total honesty, a quality which your luggage handlers consider to be dispensable. Such cave men they are!"
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and helpful."
Cons: "The delays, we change to gate three times, Delta never told us why the changes or announce them. If it wouldn't be for Trippet Pro, where I got notices, I would not have known about gate changes."
Cons: "They claim to be cleaning these planes but I find that hard to believe when there is Gum on the window sill. We were also delayed quite a bit in the boarding process. Also I would imagine that during Covid-19 these companies would do a better job of not overbooking flights but all of my flights with American this past weekend were overbooked. Which delayed us even longer as they searched for volunteers to adjust their flights. In today's age of technology the idea that they are still overbooking planes makes no sense to me in the slightest. I will be walking, driving or taking a boat before I fly American Airlines again."
Pros: "The Consistency!"

Cons: "Nothing really"
Cons: "Paid for upgraded seat with complimentary drinks that I still got charged for."

Cons: "not enough food"
Pros: "I am not comfortable flying so for me, flying makes me nervous"

Cons: "The sound did not work in my assigned seat. I could not watch any movies or partipate in any games."

Cons: "Flight delayed because of oil leak in engine. Not offered nuts instead of pretzels."

Cons: "Video controller was not working properly."
Pros: "Clean, New airplane, roomy seats. No complaints!"
Cons: "Super uncomfortable seats"
Cons: "I don't have a problem with a flight being delayed for any reason. That is simply one of the hazards of flying. However, the PIT->ORD flight was delayed multiple times for unknown reasons. If the airline would have given a realistic timetable, customers could have managed their time much easier. Instead, United Airlines kept delaying takeoff for 15-20 minutes, multiple times. When they finally get the customers into the boarding process, they act like they're doing you a favor. Poorly managed, customers manipulated."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Everything great"
Pros: "Very nice employees. The trip was good. Unfortunately, the plane was delayed for a fueling off load for 45 minutes but it all worked out just fine."
Cons: "NONE"
Pros: "Besides being tired and walking what felt like 3 miles to new gate I have not issues to report."
Cons: "I chose to fly Southwest on the way back and for less money I received better service. If you find a reasonably priced flight you don't have to worry about paying extra for baggage or stomach during the flight. On the flight home, I realized that they have bigger seats, your bags ( 1 personal, 1 carry-on, and 2 checked bags) are "free" and they give you a little snack to hold you for maybe and hour. Overall I prefer Southwest because of all the benefits you get while flying with them but it doesn't mean I will never fly United again."
Cons: "Stuck in last row by bathroom no head or leg room. Had picked seats on exit roe and agent moved us without asking. Weather delayed flt 3x ! Very turbulent and choppy, crew was great handled it like pros even when same person threw up repeatedly on the plane, and people kept getting up when told not too."
Pros: "The crew on this flight looked miserable."
Pros: "Short, smooth flight Efficient boarding of crowded flight"
Pros: "United terminal in Houston is very nice"
Cons: "Narrow, uncomfortable seats."
Pros: "On time good service very clean"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating!"
Cons: "Issues with crew delayed the flight. I was further delayed getting to my destination because they forced me to check my bag."
Cons: "Being wedged in the middle seat after two overseas flights and seeing stand-by passengers in isle and window seats in rows ahead of mine... no, I did not appreciate that. In other words, UA is accomodating stand-by passengers before accomodating customers who have purchased tickets. Try sitting in a middle seat after two overseas flights... especially as a tall person with no knee space and a super-uncomfortable seat with the headcushion area reaching only your neck. Those seats were clearly made for folks under 5'8"-5'9"."
Pros: "On time. Comfortable"
Pros: "On time and flight attendants were really good"
Cons: "Too crowded! Not enough space for comfort!"
Cons: "I have arthritis (walk with a cane) and didn't have enough leg room....hated being in a middle seat....and due to that could not stand in flight to stretch legs. Also the crew on the way to New York made sure I had a wheelchair to cross the airport in Chicago and not so in New Orleans...had to make a visit to the emergency room after getting home and be off work for 5 days due to the condition of my leg after the walk across the airport."
Pros: "Nice new comfortable seats"
Cons: "My father is 89 and our whole family went to see him off. My husband, 3 children and myself. When I went to the ticket gate to check him in, the ladies did not issue a family pass to us. They said only 1 member of our family can go with him to wheel him to the gate. So my husband went since my father had 2 carry on luggage plus he wheeled my father. So the ladies were not very understanding. At that age I do hope he makes it back in 6 months for us all to see him again! We've been issued passes before and their only excuse was it was busy which it was not at all, no lines anywhere."
Pros: "Wonderful crew, great plane ride."
Cons: "Landing."

Pros: "Smooth flight, nice staff, on time"
Cons: "Not enough leg room!!! The new planes cram us in even tighter. Unless you pay more, you suffer. Why should we have to pay more just because we are tall??!! Pocket for book etc is way too small."
Pros: "Left promptly on schedule and arrived on time."
Cons: "Crew cordial but not friendly. Refreshments: I asked for water...flight attendant never asked if I wanted ice and she gave me room temperature water........"
Pros: "Very smooth flight and good seat"
Pros: "Nothing. I didn't take off yet. The flight was cancelled. I got 5 hrs sleep and had to be back at the airport, so I can have the longest day ever, but I guess that doesn't matter, because nobody does anything except shuffle you along"
Pros: "Because my flight was delayed for three hour from Pittsburgh to Chicago and sit there for eight hours until my next flight to Sacramento and I was not happy"

Pros: "Spirit is a nickle and dime operation, with very uncomfortable seating"

Cons: "The exorbitant charge for a carry-on of practically any size. Multiple delays and poor communication. Gate changes four times then an engine issue."
Pros: "Speed and efficiency"
Cons: "This was the most awful experience flying I have ever had. From start to finish it was horrible."
Pros: "Boarding on time and relatively quick"
Cons: "With all the separate charges for seats, carry ons, etc. it’s really not a savings. Also, not even being offered a glass of water? That’s carrying bare bones too far."
Pros: "Airport waiting area was very nice with lots of different seating options. The boarding went very quickly, but that was because the flight was mostly empty. Can't believe how expensive the luggage was. I guess that is why the ticket is less expensive."
Cons: "The seats were hard and the tray table was almost non-existent."
Cons: "The flight itself went smoothly and arrived early, and the crew was very efficient. However, I didn't realize when I booked with Spirit that I would have to pay for everything (carry-on and checked luggage, airport check-in, food and beverages, etc.). While the flight itself was inexpensive, these additional costs, especially for luggage, raised the price by over $170."
Cons: "I set the dates for our trip for April 12 to April 15, for some reason when I got the email confirmation the trip was set for January 15 to 18; I had to call Spirit Airlines and ended up paying EXTRA $ 70.00 dollars to get the right dates and another couple friends were doing it at the same time and the same happened to them"
Cons: "Spirit is awful in every way"
Pros: "Couteous gate agent"
Cons: "Baby boy next to me (smile)"
Pros: "i would have liked the direct flight and the cost, however I never took the flight because Spirit changed the time of the return flight and I had to cancel both flights. I liked the fact that they refunded all of the charges."
Cons: "I didn't like that Spirit unilaterally changed the return flight to 8 in the morning from 4 in the afternoon. I had to cancel and flew United!!"
Pros: "My flight heading to my destination was the best flight i've ever had. I've never flown first class before but inregards to the size of the seat i had on my very first flight with Spirit, it felt like first class. Huge seat, legroom, and next to the window...PERFECT!!"
Cons: "The fee for a check-in bag, $50 each way, is flat out wrong. It will certainly hinder my flying with Spirit in the future."
Pros: "Fun crew."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating."
Pros: "Humor ....every time I have flown spirit....the flight attendant doing the announcements always made it funny."
Cons: "We didnt fly spirit from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles because our non-stop saturday return flight was cancelled, even though the plane that would have taken us home had already arrived at the airport. We were flexible to reschedule to fly out on sunday, but again that non-stop flight got cancelled. Even though, again, the plane we would have boarded was already at the airport. Then, after being cancelled twice, you were unwilling to schedule us on a flight, whether on spirit or another airline, to get us back by sunday night. Then we chose to get a refund on the flight because it was the only real option we had from your not so apologetic offers that didnt really compensate for the inconvenience. You returned us the cost of the one way flight back, on a ticket we purchased months in advance at a lower price than what was comparable to the return flight we had to purchase that same day. I understand "unforseen" conditions can change things, but it would be nice for a company to compensate its passangers fairly for not being able to follow through on a commitment."
Pros: "price"
Cons: "31/2 hour delay. Small seat with. Pitch was terrible. NO legroom"
Cons: "The customer service representatives were extremely unhelpful and showed zero interest in assisting with customer request. I will never fly with Spirit Airlines again"
Pros: "Price and size and age of the plane."
Cons: "Was not aware of additional baggage charges at the time of the reservation."
Pros: "Change of gate wasn't fun but it was handled professional."
Pros: "Our check in lady Jasmene was so kind and arranged my seat to be next to my traveling partner. She was so kind and caring! Thank you!"
Pros: "Nice crew."
Cons: "Extra money for carry ons. Hour delay no explanation. Gates changed. Delayed on tarmac. No food or water. Racked up 80 bucks in extras."
Pros: "Once on the flight, it was fune"
Cons: "Delayed by two hours"
Pros: "- It was on time - Flight crew were quite friendly"
Pros: "Safe flight"
Cons: "More than an hour DELAYED!!! Then we had to pay $65 more to carry on a small bag. That's ridiculous absolutely ridiculous"
Pros: "No comment"
Cons: "No comment"
Pros: "Price"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The airplane was dirty. And, a woman next to me asked for some water and the flight attendant says, "$3 for a bottle." This is very disrespectful and classist. Not everyone has $3, and I could tell that she didn't. Also, the plane made a terribly loud noise. I feared for my life! The flight was delayed but the crew did not give us updates.... We simply waited. And waited."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Fees, customer service, missed flight due to overbooking"
Pros: "The flight was inexpensive, on time, and pleasant."
Cons: "The baggage fees."
Cons: "Flight was delayed four hours"
Pros: "All of the staff was very stylish. I liked that the flight was cheap"
Cons: "Could not check my bags anywhere except the gate, and it cost more than the flight did, they would not accept cash from me to check my bags until a man had a hissy fit. I wasn't allowed to actually check my heavy bag, was made to carry it on, which was over whelming and hurt my back, really annoying and stressful. Felt ignored because I was a woman. Felt annoyed that they gave me a hard time about paying them cash. No where on the website does it say credit cards only. Also the seats were small and did not recline. On my return trip they changed the gate 2 mins before boarding and I had to run to catch the flight. I would not recommend."
Pros: "Nothing! DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE unless you can afford all the extra fees right before you travel. Pay for print of ticket, pay if your carry "bag" is 1 inch bigger then a lunch pail, pay for water, seats, they suck, just pick any other airline you can"
Cons: "All of it ! DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE unless you can afford all the extra fees right before you travel. Pay for print of ticket, pay if your carry "bag" is 1 inch bigger then a lunch pail, pay for water, seats, they suck, just pick any other airline you can . Others felt like me after gettting ripped off, and it creates tension on the flight, when you just hate the airline the entire flight and you just want to sue them- its not a good feeling added when you fly."
Cons: "First my flight was canceled do to " weather conditions" even though all other airlines were flying out to the same city. When I asked for help the desk attendant said I can look on my phone for available flights. So I didn't feel like the staffed cared at all. The flight back went without a delay but the airplane felt very cramped and with no entertainment to distract us from our 4 hour flight. When I did finally order a coffee and muffin the flight attendant staired at me like I wasn't speaking English. And passed everything to me 1 by 1 in the most awkward uncomfortable way. I don't know how exactly to describe it but it was incredibly strange and not very professional. Over all I won't be flying with this airline again."
Cons: "I have traveled around the world as an auditor. I am no rookie to the game. I laughed when they informed me my carry on was $54 since my flight was purchased for $45 (one way to New Orleans). I was in the boarding area 1 hour prior to loading (Not fully paying attention). I was standing 30 feet from the gate 20 minutes before boarding time (paying full attention) and did not realize they had already loaded the plane. They said they called my name 3 times which means I couldn't /didn't hear them. My bags left without me. I ended up buying a ticket on delta because I had to link up with my family for a reunion. This was one of the most memorable crappy experiences of my adult life."
Pros: "Spirit has low fares, and they seem to stick to their flight schedules really well. Flight crew had a sense of humor."
Cons: "extra fees. Two checked bags = $105. Extra 3" legroom =$40."
Pros: "Check in was fast and convenient!"
Cons: "Baggage fees are extremely high!"
