Pros: "The crew’s positive energy and great service were truly amazing. Kudos Delta!"
Cons: "The main economy seats were far too narrow."
Cons: "Not enough leg room. Flights are costly enough and it just seems wrong to upcharge passengers for more legroom. Legroom should be standard outside of first /business class."
Cons: "Seat wasn't comfortable"
Cons: "Delays both in DETROIT and a huge delay in Shanghai."
Pros: "Easy, fast, simple. Not crowded."
Cons: "Nothing!"
Cons: "Not really an experienced flyer. Overall the flight seemed good. No issues with airline or airport. Just don’t understand self-important people that feel compelled to push the overhead storage limits with their bags."
Pros: "No delays. Easy boarding."
Pros: "Love the fact that the head rests move to support your head better."
Cons: "The flight was 2.5 hours late. Then it was freezing in the flight. I let the crew know and it warmed up at the front and back of the plane but it was unbearable in the middle. It took me two hours to warm back up!"
Pros: "Fly attendants were very professional"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "Too much delay - departure was planned on March 15 @ 7 pm and take off happened on March 16 @ 12pm - a complete failure!!!!"
Pros: "The seats were awful .how many can squeeze in. .horrible"
Cons: "Room to breathe, move a little"
Pros: "Very bad crew. Seats very uncomfortable"
Cons: "Crew could have been better"
Pros: "Entertainment"
Cons: "Boarding at JFK.Always messy"
Pros: "Boarding was quick"
Cons: "No entertainment, plane was small"

Last time flying Delta."
Pros: "Early and middle seat was open!"
Cons: "Coffee tasted like fish. :("
Pros: "The crew on the airplane was great. We had 2.5 hours turbulences but the crew started to give out drinks as soon they got the ok from the pilot"
Cons: "We went in LGA to the Baggage drop off and the employee there was super rude. On the flight to New York with Delta we had to check our carry ons at the gate because it wasn't enough room for bags in the airplane.so we asked when we checked our one suitcase if we can/should check our carry ons to avoid having to do it at the gate. The delta employee told me sure no problem. He checks in my one suitcase I purchased gives me the tracking paper and says ok have a good flight. I asked him so what is with our carry ons and he told us that that would cost 25$ and we can't check those in at the drop off?!?We ended up taking the carry ons with to the gate and then off course there wasn't enough room on the airplane that we had to check it in. And surprise it was free?? We had never issues with Lufthansa, icelandair etc. with checking our bags at drop off to not needing to carry it around and than still end up to check it at the airplane. Every airline has been more than happy that we volunteer to check our bags that they don't have the trouble at the gate."
Pros: "Smooth. Fast boarding"
Pros: "Everyone is working the gate and on the plane were amazing!"
Pros: "flight attendants"
Cons: "As soon as we all were boarded we where told there was a mechanical issue. Sat on the boarded cramped flight for 2 hours until issue was fixed. If there was a mechanical issue then the plane should’ve not been boarded until it was fixed. Much rather have waited in lobby for 2 hours than on a plane with no food and water. Or at least alllowed us to deboard while issues where resolved."
Pros: "This was my cousins first time flying and the Flight Attendants made her feel very welcomed. They all were very personable."
Pros: "I usually have had great experiences with Delta. The meal selection was limited. By the time they made it up to my seat they had run out of what we wanted. Also, the entertainment system at my seat and my husbands wasn’t working well. One of the bathrooms had a cabinets Tvst oliiiooooiiooooioiooiiiooiio"
Cons: "No Gluten free option"

Pros: "On Tim and friendly"

Pros: "Free in flight entertainment"
Cons: "One of my bags went to Santa Fe"
Pros: "there was NOTHING good about the trip from nc to atl to fl!"
Cons: "where should i start? my flight was delayed leaving NC to ATL. after standing in line for over an hr trying to speak to someone about the issue. i was notified on my phone i could keep my current flight or rebook of course i wanted to keep my current flight since it was my birthday weekend. i then called delta (in nc) for help since they told us we wouldnt make our 1030 flight and we might have to stay in a hotel that night until we could rebook the flight. not cool! i was told by a person (in nc)about what i should do once landed in ATL. they were beyond rude. they turned their backs or gave half answers. when asked about the hotel for the night they told me they werent going to handle that and i had to pay for a hotel AFTER i was just told by a delta agent that if i had to stay overnight my hotel was going to be covered. i then again called a delta agent in ATL after being informed that my status on the stand by list wasnt activated and i had less than 10 mins to make it to the next terminal and try to get activated and i would probably not get onto that flight to leave ATL. we were told that we had to stay in the terminal that night. my whole trip could have been ruined from the start from the flight being delayed in NC to talking to rude delta agents in NC and ATL. my flight status being one thing and then finding out it was something else. i never had to deal with something like this."
Pros: "Easy flight. Plane and crew were fine"
Cons: "It was a short flight but no entertainment on this plane."
Pros: "We did eventually get there"
Cons: "What should have been a 90 minute flight took over 4 hours! Between mechanical failure, overbooking and waiting for gates and sky bridges we missed our connection. Then when they rebooked our connection on a British Airways flight, BA couldn't pull up the tickets and we wasted yet another hour while Virgin Atlantic and Delta both passed the buck as to who was responsible for correcting it so we could get on our rebooked flight, which we BARELY did with only 2 minutes to spare!"
Pros: "WiFi, good flight attendants"
Cons: "Would like to see Direct TV along with Delta Suite so can watch live TV"
Pros: "Attendants and entertainment"
Cons: "Delays for no explained reason"
Cons: "Everything that could have gone wrong with my flights, went wrong. On my way from LA to Raleigh (through Atlanta), I was affected by the weather conditions at Atlanta. I understand that the weather is beyond Delta's scope of control, but customer service is not. I had to wait in line at LAX for 8 hours to even get information on what had happened, and what solutions were available. The customer service call center was collapsed, and at the airport counters at one point there was ONLY ONE DELTA REPRESENTATIVE serving a line of more than 100 upset customers. This IS Delta's fault, and it is unacceptable. This definitely was under Delta's control, but in order to save a few dollars in overtime for emergency staff Delta was willing to let its customers make terribly long lines, miss their flights, their connections and consequently their commitments. It is disappointing to observe how Delta believes that a few dollars saved on extra staff and emergency measures can offset the irreparable long term damage to its business due to upset customers. My way back from Raleigh to Los Angeles was also a disaster. Without any type of explanation and nothing more than an email announcing the change, the nonstop flight I bought was replaced by a 1-stop flight with connection in Atlanta. This was NOT THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED. There is a reason I paid a premium for a nonstop flight, and Delta did not hesitate in providing me with a less valuable product without any explanation or refund. Delta prioritizes its operational metrics - an obsession to fill and overbook its capacity - over its customers' experience, one again under the foolish belief that short term savings in any way offset the long term damage of disappointed and alienated customers. I will NEVER FLY DELTA AGAIN. I will do whatever I can to transmit my experience to everyone I know. At a time where major airline carriers are in the spotlight due to abusive practices (i.e. the United passenger case), I still find hope in knowing that alternatives such as Southwest still put their customers first, over the ethereal benefits that a few-dollar savings in operational expenses can provide."
Pros: "Everything else good."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Left on time, arrived early. Great cabin service, attentive and polite. Comfort Plus seats are worth the extra few bucks."
Cons: "Nothing. Low rating for entertainment only because there really wasn't any, but I wouldn't have used it anyway, so no big deal."
Pros: "Crew was friendly and apologetic"
Cons: "The AC did not work and we had to get off and hang out in the jetway for probably 45 minutes. Nightmare."
Cons: "I'm not sure how you lose a bag on a direct flight from Atlanta to Denver, but Delta found a way to do it. They didn't even put my bag on the plane and had to send it with the next one coming. To their credit, they did drive it out to my house when it got here."
Pros: "Wonderful flight.... great crew!"
Pros: "I liked the ticket price."
Cons: "The seat was very narrow with absolutely minimal leg space, and a carry-on bag was not included in the fare."
Cons: "Clean"
Pros: "The captain was wonderful"
Cons: "The crew were jerks"
Pros: "These people have no idea who or what United Airlines is. They work for Delta, and make sure they tell everyone about it."
Cons: "See above. The flight itself was fantastic. Larger planes are the best! Thank you!"
Cons: "Over two hours delayed. Had to carry on carry off my bags that were heavy. Messed up my schedule. Had to incur extra charges at San Diego destination due to the inconvenience."
Pros: "Almost everything was great!"
Cons: "The internet service barely worked and I will be seeking a refund"
Pros: "The flight attendant refilled my ginger ale without me needing to ask. Smooth flight until we approached Denver. Always hit turbulence when landing in Denver."
Cons: "The team in the airport seemed unsure about how to handle situations including checking people in, using the new TSA pre- check line, & resetting is he security equipment."
Pros: "Quick boarding"
Cons: "Horrible uncomfortable plane"
Pros: "It was a bit less expensive at first, but the charges added up quickly. My only complaint really is that the booking was through Air Canada and the flight was operated through United Airlines. It wasn’t a problem for me but if you only have a Visa debit card and want to pay for checked bags online, this is not possible to do online prior to checking in. You also can’t check in to your flight as you would normally, you get the last available seats and have to pay for any seat changes. All in all, I’d still book through Kayak but I’d make sure that the flight I booked was through the company that operates the flights. It’s will give you more options when checking in to the flight."
Cons: "I was put through a third party airline that had no control of the final booking procedure that I was used to. I could not choose seats or add checked luggage on my visa debit, I needed a credit card. This wasn’t a problem but it could pose problems for some people."
Pros: "Quick boarding, friendly, well done"
Cons: "None"
Cons: "Poor food for the price"
Pros: "Flight left the gate on time."
Cons: "We had to turn around from the runway to refuel because of rerouting. Added almost 2hours. We only had 1 round of complimentary snacks."
Cons: "The aircraft was full and they had a nonworking lavatory. And I asked the flight attendant that the lavatory was broken and he told me no there was somebody in there and he lied."
Cons: "You have taken the enjoyment of flying first class to a whole new low with the new seats they have designed and put in. The lack a privacy from the cabin as well as the design in how the seat is set, comfort and utility of the seat - my tray table didn't even function. It was an expensive 4 hour flight that was not comfortable ..."
Pros: "Check in was super easy. Seats are tiny. The screens on the backs of the seats are annoying, with nothing worth watching."
Pros: "a little bit more foot-room than my previous flight on a different airline."
Pros: "Plane was on time, crew were friendly, helpful"
Cons: "Plane was very worn, entertainment was very limited, seat was not very comfortable for business class"
Cons: "The fact that I wasn't able to sit with my travel partner"
Pros: "Crew were friendly and helpful"
Cons: "Seats are tight, food is a few pretzels."
Pros: "Friendly service."
Pros: "On time. Comfortable"
Pros: "Efficient"
Cons: "Bumpy ride"
Cons: "My flight last week they had us board and then de plane do to plane maintenance after I traveled litterly all day it added an extra hour. Then this flight Washington connection to Detroit from raleigh the pilot never showed up and extra hour went by, we got a new pilots but, then leading to faulty paperwork that took another hour and thirty minutes after boarding the plan to get sorted. When we got that sorted they then proceeded to tell us that the flight atendent had to leave and we had to wait another 20 min for another atendent to arrive before finally making our way to Detroit. They said to file a complaint and we would be compensated for our wait. Not sure if this is the right spot but I'm giving it a go. Thank you Keith Www.keithschmidt.com"
Pros: "the handicap assistance was marvelous! Very friendly bunch of people and I didn't have to worry about getting to my gate."
Cons: "internet/movies at a cost. I thought there were free movies, or so it seemed, but I could not figure it out. Would have made more sense for a little instruction for the free movie."
Pros: "It's annoying that you pay for seat upgrades and they stick ya in group5 boarding. It's just reminds people that they want to charge you for every little thing they can these days!"
Pros: "it was a direct flight"
Cons: "nothing"
Pros: "Flight back was delayed 10 hours and my daughter was stuck at airport and had very little sleep . Upset about this experience and won't fly united ever again"
Pros: "Flight was nearly three hours late taking off"
Pros: "The option to control my personal tv."
Cons: "Bad service. I was ignored when I it was time to order a drink. The attendant scolded me for using my service button. I wouldn't have used it if they hadn't entirely skipped my row. There were three of us sitting debit cards in hand to order drinks. The same attendant was very rude to a family with a small child and a man trying to put away his baggage at the start of the flight. I will avoid united in the future if possible."
Pros: "Nice, big plane"
Cons: "The entertainment went out."
Pros: "The pilots"
Cons: "It's united."
Pros: "Nice plane very smooth flight"
Cons: "Plane was late and missed connection to Wichita"
Pros: "I had left the hospital a few hours before boarding and had to use a wheel chair. I was assisted onto the plane ad to my seat. The crew helped me when I needed to use the lavatory."
Pros: "Good communication and helpful."
Cons: "Delays"
Pros: "On time, friendly crew, bags got through timely"
Cons: "Nothing in particular."
Pros: "Good flight, good crew"
Pros: "Now that you asked - the seats were pretty comfortable."
Cons: "The snack was adequate but I don't think very healthy. I didn't eat it on the second flight. Not sure what - the plane - wind patterns - pilot - but it was a pretty rocky flight from RDU to DEN. You should give NA as an option cause I didn't use the entertainment"
Pros: "All of this trip went well, all on time, great service, no worries!"
Cons: "None"
Cons: "Our flight was delayed so our connecting flight was cancelled what a terrible experience."
Pros: "Nice staff and comfort."
Cons: "I didn't like that when I got on and off my flights. When I asked for help because I am deaf and mute no one would escort me to the planes cabin or the right gate. Had to ask 3 different gates which way do I go because I cant hear and I was upset because I thought I wouldn't make my flight. My wife made sure that they put on my information in the system that they would help me, but I guess it doesn't work like that. In future I will make different arrangement so that I can get the help I need."
Cons: "Unreliable wifi."
Pros: "The free programming on your personal device"
Cons: "Drink (Alcohol) options could be better"
Pros: "Good flight attendants."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "My connecting flight was way late, but the plane was held for me and a few others in Denver. Because it was the last flight of the evening I don't know what I would have done if left at the airport indefinitely. I am grateful the plane was held. And regret any inconvenience this may have caused others."
Pros: "The boarding was ok"
Cons: "The entertainment was terrible you couldn't watch anything but direct tv commercials no wifi or anything they ask you to perches it but aren't we paying enough atleast to have a single movie or tv show but no we get commercials the whole flight"
Pros: "No drama. Everything on time. Crews were great."
Cons: "Seats cramped but I'm 6'7" so I should have put more effort into getting a bulkhead or emergency exit seat. My fault."
Pros: "I liked that 1 out of our four flights had more room & personal tvs."
Cons: "I did not like the fact that out of our four flights three were not too comfortable... & no tvs on three out of four"
Cons: "The seats were not super comfortable, nor did they recline. No snacks, drinks or even a small bottle of water was served. We thought that the seating arrangement would take Covid 19 into consideration, & have the passengers spread out a little bit, but no, it was a full flight, we were sitting right beside other passengers, both on the outgoing flight & the return flight. We dislike that there is a fee for carry on luggage."
Pros: "Easy"
Cons: "Not to pay for drinks"
Pros: "The crew was amazing and the communication was great. The flight was not bad and was handled well"
Cons: "The seats were less padded than expected but were surprisingly bigger. They don’t recline. I brought my own “padding” and slept through the flight"
Pros: "Crew was not as surly as usual."
Cons: "I guess some padding on the seats is out of the question, so never mind."
Pros: "Very good / inexpensive / clean /"
Pros: "1 flight attendant out of 3 was genuinely kind."
Cons: "Delayed flight without explanation caused me to miss my connecting flight and the airline did nothing for me until I directly asked about all my options. There were few. I ended up waiting in an airport for 10 hours to catch a flight to an airport that was not my original destination, to wait 8 more hours for a bus so I could ride 2.5 hours on the bus to my original destination. Last time I ever fly with that airline."
Pros: "Boarded timely, crew was polite and efficient. Cabin temoerature was comfortable"
Cons: "It was a 3 hour flight and no service was offered. If you wanted a water or anything, you had to either ring the call button or go to the galley and ask"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "No water even offered"
Cons: "While I was on my way to the airport, I received an email (3 hours before the aircraft was scheduled to take off) stating that the flight had been cancelled. I tried talking to a Frontier representative but every time I called their customer service number it was all automated. I was unable to speak with someone regarding the situation. I ended up having to spend $600 to book another flight with American Airlines due to my need to be in El Paso, Texas today. I still have not been able to speak with anyone at this point."
Cons: "No power outlets, seats didn't recline and were very hard and close together. Arm rests were hard and hurt my arms. Floor was filthy and so were the bathrooms."
Pros: "The staff seemed quite nice."
Cons: "The seat padding reminded me of what I imagine they would have in the trustee's area at a correctional facility. Also the "tray table" was not really big enough to support an open paperback book and definitely not a magazine."
Pros: "Nothing complicated; everything ran smoothly."
Cons: "Snakey pricing. Bare-bones amenities."
Cons: "The plane needs to be cleaned. There is dirt and grime around the windows, on the little tray infringed of the seat and my seat had crumbs on it."
Pros: "Timely"
Cons: "Charge for carry on"
Pros: "Great take off and landing as well as in flight service."
Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "Paying for bags, paying for water and snacks, delayed because they overbooked and let too many people on the plane"
Cons: "WE had a last minute emergency and didn't go."
Pros: "I liked the direct flight, I liked the price of the flight."
Cons: "The seats on the plane do not recline and they are extremely hard. The arm rests go up but not in a way that you can enjoy the person you are next to if you're trying to sleep. The tray tables on the plane were so small I'm not even sure they would hold and iPad let alone a laptop if you had to work on business."
Pros: "It was cheap"
Cons: "I had to find another flight on my own to replace the second leg of my trip from Denver to Salt Lake City. The customer service was ridiculous."
Pros: "They offered to move people who looked crowded. Remember to prepay for luggage whether carryon or checked. Costs more at the airport."
Cons: "Small seats, but that is with most or all airlines."
Pros: "Curtious"
Pros: "Landing was good"
Cons: "Surprise cost of carry on bags Flight attendents reguests over and over to clean areah"
Pros: "This can't be helped but man it was a bumpy ride."
Cons: "Drinks should be complimentary - soda etc. :("
Cons: "I contacted Frontier about a week before my flight to let them know my friend I was flying to visit had to make an emergency trip to see her father who was dying of liver failure. On the first attempt I was notified that only immediate family members were would be an excuse but that I could try to request through a different faucet of emergency circumstances. I put through another request and was never contacted. I did not fly to Salt Lake but I was still charged even though they could very well have sold my seat to another person and made double the money for the seat. I am very disappointed with the service I received from Frontier."
Pros: "I liked that we boarded and left on time."
Cons: "Seat comfort"
Pros: "The crew were all nice."
Cons: "The seats were the most uncomfortable thing ever. They are hard plastic with a thin pleather lining and don't recline. I could not get anything close to comfortable the whole flight. The "tray tables" are so tiny, they could never hold anything remotely close to the size of a tray. You can't even have a cup of coffee on it and rest your book or tablet next to it. They don't serve so much as a free cup of coffee. And we each had to pay $30 for our carry-on, which pretty much wiped out the savings of a Frontier flight. Our checked bag arrived about an hour and 15 minutes after we landed. The experience was just awful overall. It's just not worth the lower price, believe me."
Pros: "Was the cheapest flights I could find"
Cons: "Unfriendly staff, flights were delayed for no apparent reason and they charge you for carry on some. Charged me $9 to pick a regular seat. Fly Frontier if you must."
Pros: "The plane was clean and the attendants very nice"
Cons: "We waited on the tarmac in Denver for a gate from almost 45 minutes. We waited for 1.5 hours for our luggage to reach the baggage claim area."
Pros: "Nice flight."
Cons: "Plane seats were uncomfortable and they offered no free snacks"
Pros: "Generally the experience was comparable to most flights except that the airline/plain is very stripped down. The seats don't recline, no n flight movies, music, or free drink service."
Cons: "Boarding started 15 minutes late and ended 5 minutes early. They literally announced that boarding would close in 2 minutes 3 minutes after it started. we had to run across the airport to make it on time."
Cons: "Charged $45. for my carry-on bag."
Pros: "I liked the price. The flight to Denver was good. Airplane clean, flight attendants courteous."
Cons: "The way they managed the delay was unprofessional. The ladies announcing the reasons of the delay were a little bit rude. For a 7 hours delay, they should give us at least a complementary meal or something."
Cons: "Baggage was late , flight was late. Boarding was late"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating"
Cons: "Charges for carry on and checked bags; not even complimentary water on board"
Pros: "offered a direct flight"
Cons: "seats are very upright and hard, didn't recline at all."
Pros: "Fares. Toll free customer service was very helpful in rescheduling my daughter's flight."
Cons: "Wheelchair service at RDU not contracted with Frontier! Rude flight attendant, making inappropriate and sarcastic announcements! Understaffed check in counter = long delay = delayed departure :("
Pros: "Roomy seats"
Cons: "Everything costs extra. Carry on bags, Food, drinks, and seats. Was I supposed to stand on the flight?"
Pros: "It was nonstop and I got an isle seat going."
Cons: "The seats were hard and you couldn't lean back to sleep on red eye flight."
Pros: "This was my second time flying Frontier. The first flight I felt very much little cattle. I also felt that they did everything for the dollar. This trip was very different however. Their customer service was fantastic and they were extremely accommodating, helping me move my seat closer to the restroom. (I'm 8 months pregnant!) The ground staff and the flight crew were wonderful."
Cons: "I hate that baggage is so expensive."
Pros: "This was my first airplane flight ever. I was extremely anxious. However I don't think it could have gone better. I had a cat with me and everyone was welcoming."
Cons: "The only things I'm upset about it there were no healthy options on the menu. Even sodas like Izzie or some Bolthouse Farm/Naked juices would be nice to have for those who avoid anything processed. Fresh fruit would be good too. i was also shocked that I had to pay $80 extra for my ONE bag to fly to and fro, and that my cat had to count as my personal item so I had no choice but to pay for one. I believe we should have a free personal item and 1 free carry on."
Cons: "Had to pay for snacks so I did not get any."
Pros: "The staff at the counter in Raleigh was very helpful and the flight crew was great. The lady at the counter there took extra time to help get us seats next to each other."
Cons: "It was not clearly stated that carry-on luggage would be charged $45 per item. This is an unusual policy and should have been clearly and prominently stated when purchasing the ticket. With my wife and I this added $90 to our combined ticket price and we would have flown a different airline had we known this. It seemed like a trick to get folks to pick a cheaper ticket only to make up the cost at the door what an individual would have paid for a competing ticket."
Pros: "Smooth flight, on time"
Cons: "The staff could have been friendlier"
Cons: "At no point was there any info telling us about carry on bag charges. This added a 150 unexpected expense to our trip just for carry ons. Would have chosen a different flight of I would have known. Will never fly frontier airlines again. And will tell everyone I know that is planning on traveling what a terrible experience we had with them."
Pros: "Flight was amazing! I could not tell when we took off or when we landed! Smooth Flight! Awseome flight crew!"
Cons: "I was Excited about the cost of the flight! ($375.00) However, I was very disappointed about being charged for baggage(carry on and checkin $65 one way total of $130.00) and beverages (sodas and juice). Ummm? Had I known about all the fine print I probably would have gone with a different airline atleast I would have not been caught off guard after booking the flight."
Cons: "The planes are so so uncomfortable. I would never choose frontier again unless the route was significantly better (i.e. Nonstop) than any other airlines. I would pay a lot more to avoid frontier otherwise."
Pros: "Crew = funny and helpful."
Cons: "We were on the plane for two hours before taking off, and the crew promised us a voucher that we would get in our emails, but I didn't get anything. Why didn't they check for maintenance problems before boarding everyone? And why did it take 40+ minutes for the maintenance workers to show up to fix the problem?"
Pros: "Boarding was fabulously easy."
Cons: "I did not know during booking about the carry-on fee or the seat fee (!!!! though I later learned that if you didn't select a fee for a seat they would assign you whatever was left, not that that is appealing). You had to pay for everything except water. There was no in-flight entertainment at all. Trays were tiny. I will never fly this airlines again."
Pros: "The crew's sense of humor made the mundane interesting."
Cons: "There was nothing special about the flight. It lacked any reason for me to want to fly frontier and be loyal."
Pros: "It was a good ride"
Cons: "Food prices for everything and seats"
Pros: "In addition to price, I was assigned an aisle seat without paying extra"
Cons: "This Florida base crew at most was average compared to the crew assigned on my flight out of Baltimore. Maybe because it was an early morning flight."
Pros: "Crew was great. Prices on food were good."
Cons: "Great quick flight and great price"
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "Everything else"
Pros: "The crew was amazing"
Cons: "N/A"
Cons: "Horrible airline. But I knew that. Didn’t have much choice on short notice. I avoid this airline as much as humanly possible."
Cons: "Delayed over an hour."
Cons: "will never use this airline again."
Pros: "Seats and space we're awesome"
Pros: "The low initial ticket price"
Cons: "Having to pay for a seat and baggage after buying a ticket. I got an earlier standby Delta flight on Friday so I skipped the first Spirit flight (which ended up being delayed anyway). On my flight back to Denver today, I found out in the terminal that my entire trip was cancelled because I missed my original outgoing flight. I was never notified of this cancellation through email or phone call. I was then asked to pay another $200 for a one way ticket back to Denver. Luckily I was able to fly standby on Delta again instead. Never flying Spirit again. Terrible customer service as well."
Cons: "Spirit airlines cancelled my flight the day of travel."
Pros: "Nothing. I was treated so poorly I walked away from their customer service and bought a ticket on another airline."
Cons: "I was 5 minutes late over their 45 minute required check in window. So they cancelled my ticket. For $100 they offered to reschedule me. And for another $50 they would check my bag. On a different airline I paid another $100 and got a complete round trip ticket, about 10 minutes later."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I arrived at the terminal three hours early, connecting from a non-Spirit flight from Central America. Spirit employees wouldn't check me in, saying they were too busy and I need to wait, but no worry, there's plenty of time. Asked again later and was told to check in online. Checked in online and was told (after the many upsell screens) that I couldn't print a boarding pass and needed to go to a Spirit counter. Went back to the Spirit gate and they said I hadn't checked in so they gave away my seat, and they didn't have another flight until tomorrow. Did I want it? Nope. Bought tickets on a real airline. Will never, ever travel with Spirit again."
Pros: "Nothing except the price"
Cons: "Delayed boarding"
Cons: "The seats are cramped and on the way back, they canceled all flights back to Houston, causing us to pay an extra $600 in order to get home to work on Monday."
Pros: "Absolutely ridiculous policy on making me go to a different terminal to get a boarding pass. Every other airline in the United States can issues electronic boarding passes these guys blocked me out 1 hour and ten minutes before the flight and said I had to go to terminal E counter to get boarding pass. I was at terminal A. Because I did not have boarding pass I could not enter through terminal A and use skylink I had to take the bus instead. That took 25 minutes. Then when I arrived at counter they said the flight was closed. And even though it was 25 minutes before boarding I was out of luck. The rude counter person said I should have been there 3 hours before the flight and now all they can do is reschedule for another day and it will cost an additional $100. Fortunately there were about 10 other people in a similar situation as mine and it became overwhelming for the counter people and they started issuing us tickets. This caused 10 of use to rush to security yelling we only have 10 minutes to get to flight. Fortunately all the people in line were understanding and TSA did the best they could but it still took time and probably stressed everyone out at security including TSA. This was just a money grab by Spirit airlines. Any other airlines an electronic ticket would have issued to my phone and I could have entered security at terminal A, caught skylink to Terminal E for my flight and been at gate 30 minutes before departure. This ridiculous policy of locking me out over an hour before the flight caused a great deal of stress to myself, the spirit counter crew, the TSA, all the other airline passengers waiting at security, and all the other spirit passengers who were gamed by Spirit airlines moneygrab. I intend to file complaints with Better Business Bureau, FAA, and Homeland security. This was totally unnecessary chaos!!!!"

Pros: "The boarding process was good. T The staff friendly, but should smile!!"
Cons: "The seats were uncomfortable."
Pros: "cheap fares"
Cons: "3 dollars for a Coke"
Cons: "Flight was delayed for some reason, but it was only for an hour."
Pros: "Seat was comfortable"
Cons: "It cost more for a carry on bag than a checked bag."
Pros: "Staff and crew were all professional and helpful"
Cons: "Delayed departure No wifi on board"
Pros: "It was a smooth ontime flight!"
Cons: "They cancelled the flight and had no other flights, had to cancel the entire trip."
Pros: "Missed flight! Got delayed and they never called us and we were at the gate area. Spirit is terrible."
Pros: "Eventually my issue was resolved"
Cons: "That it took 16 different calls to get my flight information configured after the shooting at the ft lauderdale airport. Understand the tragedy, but as an airline you have zero to no customer service appreciation, was hung up on multiple times when asked to talk to higher up management. Unable to give accurate information as well, upon gettin through the first time try said my Flight was still active although the airport was locked down an that my flight would eligible for reimbursement if I missed it, although I was unable to enter the airport."
Cons: "1st time using spirit got to counter check in 43 minutes till.. flight was closed. I wasn't aware of the policy"
Cons: "1 hours late"
Cons: "Our flight was supposed to be direct to Denver. It was changed to a connecting flight they Vegas. We arrived home almost 5 hours later than we had originally booked. There was no notification to me about this change bc inbooked the flight thru Kayak. Either Kayak or Spirit should have notified me of this. We could have spent an additional 2 hours with our son who's away at college. I find this to be completely unacceptable. I do my part to pack within your rules, article to my flight on time and respectful to the crew. This will most likely be my last time to fly with Spirit. There was no email or text with regards to this change. Every other airline I have flown with will either send an email or text if there's a change in flight status."
Cons: "It was a pretty bumpy ride, nothing the crew could do about that."
Pros: "Great boarding time! Fit my schedule perfectly!"
Cons: "Seats don't recline."
Pros: "Clean airline. Nice staff."
Cons: "Very little leg room."
Cons: "I cancelled my flight, but still received this, interestingly! I had no idea when I booked that even a carry on suitcase would cost extra! I was so angry, and nothing could be done. Therefore, I cancelled the flight at an additional cost and booked with Southwest, who is extremely generous with baggage accommodation. I was very happy with Southwest."
Pros: "Since we couldn't get passes in advance the clerk gave us leg room seats"
Cons: "The online program was horrible. Couldn't print boarding passes in advance"
Pros: "I arrive safe"
Cons: "I spend more with my luggage than fare it was not disclose Not even water or snack"
Pros: "I liked the crew"
Cons: "I did not like that my flight kept getting delayed and they provided late notifications"
Pros: "The check in process, boarding process and the flight were smooth."
Cons: "The boarding pass that we downloaded on our phone weren't valid. After waiting 20min for security clearance, we had to go back and get the boarding pass from the kiosk. Spirit should have mentioned ahead of time that mobile boarding passes don't work."
Pros: "Fast loading unloading"
Cons: "Very tight"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Seems like a cheap ticket until you factor in all the extra charges. Carry on bag $50, water and a snack $10. I'm surprised the bathroom was still free of charge. The captain couldn't get one of the engines started but taxied out to the runway anyway. When it still wouldn't start we turned around and went back to the gate to wait for a mechanic. They were able to get it started and we were able to fly."
Pros: "I had flight delay for 6 hrs, missed my business meeting Las Vegas ! Very rude people at Spirit counter, never will consider Spirit as my 1 suggestion! All this and I paid 1st class accommodation, I really think I should be compensated! 7194600011 thnx! Reg!"
Pros: "Flight crew was perfect!!!"
Cons: "Better seats"
Cons: "Attendants were not pleasant, seats not comfortable, no options for good food, no movies"
Pros: "Absolutely nothing"
Cons: "They nickel and dime you to death. Just horrible. The ghetto of airlines"
Pros: "Worst flight i have ever been on"
Cons: "i will never book with them again"
Cons: "I was not informed of the 45 min check in cut off, and so Lost hundreds of dollars. I will never use your site again."
Pros: "The flight attendants were witty."
Cons: "Hectic, disorganized, and unprofessional. Hidden fees eveywhere. You get what you pay for."
Pros: "the flight crew"
Cons: "how late we were to board, almost 3 hour wait to fly to vegas, seats were uncomfortable."
Pros: "Effecient boarding. No overly comedic routines from staff to include pilots. On time."
Cons: "$55 for a carryon bag."
Cons: "On the sight online does not tell you that you have to pay for each baggage $50 dollars people should know that! !!!!so they would not be surprise .At cheking in my parents the lady wasn't as nice just because we didn't know that we have to check in on one of the machines! !!!not a good experience!"
