Find Cheap Flights from Plattsburgh Intl to Fort Lauderdale (PBG - FLL)

Pros: On time Turbulence so never saw the crew Billing error, charged more than price on confirmation

Cons: Never use spirit airlines! Horrible people, horrible company

Pros: Schedule and non-stop flight. Left at 1:45 am, arrived early morning.

Cons: All the extra fees...luggage, check-in, easy to print boarding pass on outbound, but difficult when returning.

Pros: Some background: we fly Spirit twice per year round trip from Plattsburgh, NY to Fort Lauderdale, FL, for the past five years. We fly Spirit as it is the only airline within 3 hours of our home with direct flights to Fort Lauderdale. Overall, the experience has been positive enough that we keep flying the airline/route. I will breakdown down the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Good: Direct flights from Plattsburgh, NY to Fort Lauderdale, FL, within 90 minutes of my rural upstate NY location. Alternatives, we could fly Jet Blue for about the same cost from Syracuse, NY or Burlington, VT, instead. Both of these options require a lay-over in JFK late in the evening which is not desirable especially in the winter when delays are likely. What service Spirit does provide is generally good, except for one particular employee at Plattsburgh who I will mention under the Ugly. The Plattsburgh airport is small, yet it's runway is large and well-maintained being associated with a former AF base. This make for a pleasant experience getting from the parking lot to the plane, and ensures that bad weather has less impact on operations. The planes are generally clean and appear well maintained. The flight staff are generally courteous and professional. Spirit's Fort Lauderdale terminal is getting batter little-by-little each year, and is very easy to navigate from gate to rental car, etc.

Cons: The Bad: Spirit makes you pay for every conceivable extra you may require, e.g., from baggage, to printing boarding passes, to reserving a seat in advance, etc. Want to spend an extra $100, try sneaking a second personal carry-on or over-sized bag onto the plane. While the airport experience in Plattsburgh, NY is generally enjoyable, the Fort Lauderdale, FL, end is less so with very long/disorganized lines at the baggage check-in counter. The Ugly: While a majority of the Spirit ground crew are professional, there is one worker at the Plattsburgh, NY, airport who needs to find a new occupation in a non-service industry. I had a run-in with this lady during one trip after they gave away our tickets on an over-booked flight which was delayed for two hours. We did not realize that they wanted everyone to still check-in at the regularly scheduled time and they made no announcement of this desire to those waiting in the terminal. As a result, when our family went to check our bags 10 minutes after the original flight's deadline, I was told our seats were given away. I tried to discuss how this could occur with the worker in question, and she called the airport police over to confront me. Initially, the police were skeptical of me, but eventually became very friendly and compassionate when they heard what happened. With some input from the police to another Spirit employee, we were given tickets on a JetBlue flight out of Burlington, VT, paid for a taxi ride over to the Burlington, VT, airport and provided meal vouchers for the entire family. In the end, everything worked out, but it would have been much easier/less expensive for all involved if they just made check-in announcements at the Plattsburgh, NY airport. Interestingly, I have witnessed this same spirit employee getting into confrontations with other passengers on subsequent flights at the Plattsburgh airport, including calling the police in for what appears harmless conversation with her, e.g., like trying to understand why the are being charged for an over sized carry-on

Pros: Nothing.. terrible sevixecancel

Cons: Canceled my sons flight to come home. Left him stranded at the airport with no ride, no flight, no accommodations .. would not fly him out until the evening at 10 pm. My family wanted to kill that airline. Made haters out of me

Cons: Not enough leg room

Pros: Schedule and non-stop flight. Left at 1:45 am, arrived early morning.

Cons: All the extra fees...luggage, check-in, easy to print boarding pass on outbound, but difficult when returning.

Cons: Never use spirit airlines! Horrible people, horrible company

Pros: The captain was very good, and we arrived early to our destination. We had to hold back before landing, due to smaller planes landing, so the captain pointed out some areas along our path! Loved it! The flight was smooth.

Cons: We had to be in the boarding area an hour before the flight was scheduled to leave. However, because of the way that the flights are scheduled, people were still deplaning from the previous flight for 25 minutes after our gate arrival time.

Pros: The plane didnt crash :) Friendly attendants.

Cons: NO WIFI. Flights are delayed often, what looked like a brand spanking new plane had the most uncomfortable seats ever, felt like sitting on wood in the exit row. You get what you pay for though.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Woke up to a notice saying my flight was delayed 2 hours. So I took my time leaving. Then Got another notice saying it was delayed only 16 min. I live 1.5hrs away! Several people missed the flight because of this.

Pros: Great flight

Pros: On time Turbulence so never saw the crew Billing error, charged more than price on confirmation

Pros: Nothing the service was horrible. $55 for a over head bag your company is a rip off and I will never fly with spirit ever again

Cons: The flight was over booked. And people payed for seats that they did not get.

Cons: No water served and seats are hard as a rock

Pros: - Good price, even with carry-on and larger seat. - Comfortable seats, despite no incline - better than major airlines.

Cons: - No food or drinks. - No entertainment. Both are acceptable given the price. - Misinformation regarding flight delay, I was sent notifications and app updated to be 1 hour late. However on arrival, boarding time was as usual.

Pros: Quick

Pros: Nothing

Pros: The personnel was very accommodating and courteous. We left on time and arrived earlier than scheduled. Overall a great experience.

Pros: I liked how fast the boarding process went, as well as how the plane was early rather than late like the rest of the industry.

Cons: I would like free water, more food choices, chairs that recline and some kind of entertainment at all. This airline is not up to par with the rest of the industry. Also we were waiting at the carousel for a good half hour before bags came!

Pros: After all the waiting we got to watch content for free (which is accountable for only 6 dollars)

Cons: After waiting for more than 1hr they started to give some information about the issues, they moved us to another plane that already was planned to be at SF at 10:40 (original flight was for 9pm), it got late again and we got to SFO by 12:20 am. More than 4 hours late. Even after that it took me a while to get a shuttle I even got to insist and explain again to get a Shuttle back home.

Pros: The people were nice and helpful. And the aircraft did not feel cramped. I again did not use the entertainment or anything like that.

Cons: N/a

Pros: On time and great professional staff throughout

Pros: Nothing the service was horrible. $55 for a over head bag your company is a rip off and I will never fly with spirit ever again

Cons: The flight was over booked. And people payed for seats that they did not get.

Cons: No water served and seats are hard as a rock

Cons: Never use spirit airlines! Horrible people, horrible company

Pros: Good options were good.

Cons: The first flight from Plattsburgh to fortlauderdale was for 1:55am and we didn't board until after 5am. Once we got on the plane, the seats are very tight and small so it made for a very uncomfortable ride.

Pros: It was fine. It was a short flight, so I didn't get food, or use any of the entertainment or anything like that. It was a little cramped though, but, like I said it was a short flight, so that was fine.

Cons: I'm not sure the stewardess is really a morning person. She wasn't rude or anything, but she wasn't nice either. :)

Cons: You didn't get my bags to airport on time and so I missed my connecting flight which was 90 minutes after my previous flight, I have an 8 month old son and you made us spend another 4 hours waiting for a flight.

Pros: Not much

Cons: Amazes me how the airlines can shrink legroom. I'm 6'5" & had an economy middle row middle seat. Needsless to say, I was stuck actually & figuratively since it was a full flight.

Pros: Everything was on time and all the staff were professional and friendly

Pros: Our plane was struck by lightning and therefore not able to fly, so we were deboarded and left to wait until a rescue flight could come in from Boston. Over the course of 4 hours, the crew kept us updated with every little change and were all very helpful! Once we were able to board the rescue plane, the crew handed out complimentary candy and drinks to help ease the wait times. Highly recommended!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Woke up to a notice saying my flight was delayed 2 hours. So I took my time leaving. Then Got another notice saying it was delayed only 16 min. I live 1.5hrs away! Several people missed the flight because of this.

Pros: Great flight

Cons: I cancelled this flight and somehow it doesn’t show in your records and now I cant find the cancellation.. I am not in Orlando.. last time I will use Kayak.

Pros: On time Turbulence so never saw the crew Billing error, charged more than price on confirmation

Pros: Smooth, no delays

Pros: Nothing.. terrible sevixecancel

Cons: Canceled my sons flight to come home. Left him stranded at the airport with no ride, no flight, no accommodations .. would not fly him out until the evening at 10 pm. My family wanted to kill that airline. Made haters out of me

Cons: Not enough leg room
