Cons: "Boarding crew not very friendly"

Cons: "Only real complaint is that Delta doesn’t seem to restrict size of bags taken as carry on and the time wasted but some trying to squeeze their obviously oversized bags into overhead compartments is painful."
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!"
Cons: "Too much delay - departure was planned on March 15 @ 7 pm and take off happened on March 16 @ 12pm - a complete failure!!!!"

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: "Everything went wonderful. Excellent crew"
Cons: "No problems"
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: "Everything went smoothly boarding etc."
Cons: "Because of packed flight many of us had to check our luggage. Not horrible, but slightly annoying. As well as taking a long time to de-plane."
Pros: "The long delay could of been avoided if the Delta counter had lied to me by saying I wouldn't have a problem changing my flight out early once I got into NYC from China Not a happy Delta customer There were delays and no compensation"
Pros: "Delta Comfort seats"
Cons: "Delta employee who drive shuttle to connection stopped to drop off a passenger and proceed to chat w other workers thereby getting me to my gate late and missing my connection and getting me to Florida almost 3 hours later than planned. Agents at desk in JFK were rude. There was another Delta employee also on the shuttle who was the only one who seemed to show concern. He alerted the driver, called the boarding gate and led me to it."
Pros: "Boarding time and schedules were as expected or faster and other than the food incident, good attention from the flight crew."
Cons: "No choice during for lunch since the flight crew didn't have enough meals to cover the preferences of the first class travelers."
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."
Pros: "Many passengers did not have seat assignments and we also ran out of over head storage resulting in many additional bags to be checked at the gate(mine included) but the crew and staff at the desk inside laguardia work quickly and efficiently to get everyone boarded and we ended up landing 15 minutes early."
Cons: "Seating was extremely cramped and the in flight wifi quality was poor, couldn't even watch an hour long movie (on a 2+ hour flight) because of the amount of buffering."
Pros: "Before we even boarded, the ticket agent happily found two seats together for my husband & I. The in-flight staff was particularly helpful. We had some medicine that needed to be refrigerated and they both provided a bag of ice for us to keep it in and checked back to replace the ice as it melted."
Cons: "Old plane Zero entertainment First class seats worn thin and uncomfortable. I've been flying AA quite a bit lately and thought I'd give Delta another try. Too bad, it's clearly not up to today's standards"
Pros: "flight itself was fine"
Cons: "When we arrived in LGA, the luggage conveyor belt was broken and luggage was piled up and driven to another terminal. As a result half of our luggage did not arrive on our flight but arrived on subsequent flight. However, one bag was nowhere to be found and Delta staff could not clarify the issue. They did find it next day and delivered to the FLL airport, but we had to get a cab and go to the airport to pick-up as we could not take a chance of it not making it to us before the cruise departure. I am extremely disappointed"
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "Smooth flight. Left on time arrived on time."
Cons: "Flight was broken we had to get off. I had to book a hotel room was so tired"
Pros: "Yes"
Cons: "Blankets"
Pros: "Good"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "Try not to loose my luggage next time full of my family’s Christmas gifts. It was a short flight and a giant Leopard print bag. Crew was rude, didn’t wake me to let me sit up. She just shoved my seat forward"
Cons: "complimentary ear plugs for when there are crying children"
Cons: "We are stranded in Miami due to another passengers medical needs. That delay caused us to miss our Connecting flight. We are now unable to get to Belize until Friday and the best they will offer is a coupon for like $30 off a crappy hotel. Next time I’ll lsy more for delta’s far superior service"
Cons: "The flight attendants were very polite. Both of us are blind, and they told us the information we needed – how far away is the nearest exit row. Otherwise they treated us like everyone else!"
Pros: "Great crew, comfortable chair. Entertainment was great."
Cons: "Everything was great."
Pros: "Flight was on time. They fed us two meals."
Cons: "Seats in coach are incredibly cramped, and blankets are comically small. The food was pretty terrible and the vegetarian option not particularly nutritious."
Pros: "The crew were great and the flight was quick."
Cons: "The blankets are really thin and so we were cold. They do not offer eye masks anymore. So sad"
Pros: "Crew was kind & friendly. They found my wife and I empty seats where we could stretch out. Food was great too. No complaints."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Boarding, entertainment"
Cons: "Arm rests were immobile, meaning could not take advantage of empty seat next to me."
Pros: "Not a full flight"
Cons: "Not unhappy"
Pros: "I like the fact that I made it to London alive. The turbulence was so bad and the pilot never came on and reassured us I was shaking and nervous all the way across the ocean"
Cons: "The boarding issue to me is a big problem you should put the conditions of the ticket up front and center for example boarding last when you are on an international flight with bags that need to be put in the overhead is a big problem having to pay for each seed internationally for each leg of the trip made my ticket just as expensive as if I had bought it from a regular company never again will I use your service rip off rip off. Once you buy the ticket then you send clarification letting the passenger know they have no rights I had no right to anything I was wondering if they were going to tell me I had to clean the plane in order to be transported from New York to Spain. A satisfied customer is a repeat customer you got over on me once but never again"
Pros: "I would like that the seats were not so small I got 2 people with overweight and I was very uncomfortable the trip"
Cons: "in all the flight you did not have internet WiFi"
Pros: "The movie selection was great!"

Cons: "N/A"
Cons: "Comfort is ok."
Pros: "Getting home safely"
Cons: "Finding damage to my luggage"
Pros: "But the crew was great!"
Pros: "New aircraft with good entertainment system. Did not crash."
Cons: "Very tight seat spacing in pitch and width. Screen did not tilt so even with the very minimal backrest recline viewing was not ideal. This was to "punish" me for not buying the various seating upcharges American tag onto the ticket price. It was a low cost ticket on a very convenient transatlantic flight from RDU, "Easyjet" pricing brings "Easyjet" seating. I have flow a lot, 3MM miles on UA alone, and this reminded me why AA did not get much of my business! I will have to revert to the "Continentalised" UA (another sore point!)."
Pros: "Smooth flight with no issues at all"
Pros: "Comfy/roomy seats, friendly staff, female pilot!!"
Cons: "It was freezing and blankets were not available. It is typically cold on flights but this felt like sitting in a freezer. That is the o not reason I gave 4 stars and a 3 star for comfort"
Cons: "Flights out of RDU to Philly were late. AA will not let you get on another flight going to the same destination if your checked luggage has been committed to particular flight beforehand. You have to fly with your luggage."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Very cold on board"
Pros: "Boarding, staff, service, arrival all great"
Cons: "No issues"

Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "3 hour delay"
Pros: "Slick boarding"

Pros: "Flight left about 30 min late but still landed in philly pretty much only time."
Cons: "I wish there was a way to request to not sit next to someone carrying on a pet."
Pros: "See above"
Cons: "We could not check in online because we refused to pay for seats that I felt that already purchased or was entitled to one so I bought a ticket. When we got to the airport and checked in they did not put me and my traveling partner together meaning they didn't see them together not to mention. Our flight was delayed and we only have 4 minutes to get from gate a to gate. We got to the gate collected our boarding passes found out we were seated at the very very very back of the plane right next to the restrooms.........NICE"
Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above"
Cons: "No food"
Cons: "overcharges"
Pros: "On time"
Pros: "That we at least made it to Chicago."
Cons: "That the plane coming into Raleigh from Dallas had technical problems so it made us miss our connecting flight in Chicago. I needed to be at work in Des Moines Monday morning at 8 and they bumped us to a flight from Chicago to Des Moines for 12:00 pm Monday afternoon. We had to pay $280 to rent a car and I drove all night and went straight to work without even going home to shower or get ready or anything. My 4 and a half year old son had to endure the whole thing too."
Pros: "Everything was on time, no delays."
Pros: "Good crew"
Cons: "Seats are not comfortable"
Pros: "Everything was excellent. One of the best flying experiences that we've had as a family.we flew in with AA and the difference was clearly evident. Excellent flight crew and customer service"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Seats are always extremely uncomfortable"
Pros: "I was in row 2 and it had reclining seats."
Cons: "They did not have enough people to push wheelchairs at Mac Arthur airport. My husband had to push me & since we don’t know the airport we had to ask every step we went, they had no signs leading the way."
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"
Cons: "Hour delay for an hour flight"
Pros: "Quick boarding. Crew was awesome."
Cons: "WiFi and in flight entertainment but I don’t see frontier changing that"
Pros: "Very good / inexpensive / clean /"

Cons: "Everything. Really bad seats, no room for you. Carry on - charge $50. No free beverages ."
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: "Flying"
Cons: "No snacks"
Pros: "Everything was great except the long delays. We were suppose to leave at 206 but the flight kept getting delayed. I understand delays but it would have been nice if someone would have told us why. There was no one at the desk for a long time. But once we were on the plane and in the air everything was great."
Pros: "Nothing complicated; everything ran smoothly."
Cons: "Snakey pricing. Bare-bones amenities."
Pros: "All"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "I liked that they gave me accommodations for a hotel and a voucher for future ticket on their airline."
Cons: "We weren't aware of the cancellation until late at night so it was hard to find flights to get back. it was really important that I made it back on time because I'm a student in doctorate school and I ended up missing part of my classes the next day. i had to fly in to phl but my car was in ttn airport."
Pros: "I was stuffy and feeling poorly before the flight. My ear aches did not subside throughout the flight, and I was feeling awful. Courtney, our flight attendant was so helpful and honestly supportive. The whole crew tried to help me feel better and took great care of everyone. It could've been a terrible journey, but they had me laughing dispite my ears!"
Cons: "There were other passengers that were not respectful of the staff. I did not like them."
Pros: "Rather have cost of bags figured into ticket....$45 extra for carry on is a bit too much and didn't make the trip worth anything special!"
Cons: "It was an hour late"
Pros: "Timely"
Cons: "Charge for carry on"
Pros: "On time departure and early arrival"
Cons: "$45 bag fee for checked or carry on."
Pros: "Nothing. Not even the refund compensated for the lost time and additional expenses incurred from Frontier"
Cons: "6 hour delay. Didn't board plane and still lost our bag"
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: "It got me where I wanted to go."
Cons: "Frontier has a nice cost up front, but the bag charges and seat charges are excessive and gratuitous. I would have much preferred a greater cost up front, as it was still cheaper than the competition in the long run. I also hate their seats."
Pros: "Other passengers, boarding"
Cons: "Costs are hidden until you've already paidfor flight, then they tell you the cost is going to double because of the other misc costs that you weren't made aware of before booking your flight. They wont even give free cup of coffee and charge you $3 for 6oz. Hot colored water. If you have to pay for the coffee, it should be something other than swill. Felt taken advantage of. Wont fly this airline again."
Pros: "Boarding was pretty smooth."
Cons: "Kayak should inform buyers that there are extra charges for unexpected things like choosing your seat, carry on bags, checked bags, all food, all drinks (no nuts, pretzels or coffee)"
Cons: "And Frontier only offered a refund or a spot on the next available flight,which was four days later. We had to book a flight the next day, which was five times as expensive as the Frontier flight had been."
Pros: "The cabin was comfortable and the crew did their job efficiently. Nothing stood out to impress me."
Cons: "The after ours was overbooked, so they boarded us andand made us wait until they could find 3 volunteers which took a decent amount of time. We were also not informed of this until we had already been sitting there waiting. After our flight left the gate we then had to sit and wait to take off because we missed out time slot to fly into Philly. It wasn't terrible but could have been handled better. It was very uncomfortable for myself and even more uncomfortable for a friend with osteoporosis and compression fractures in her back."
Pros: "The ONLY thing I liked about this airline is the leg room on the plane."
Cons: "All other airlines carge $25 for the first checked bag and carry-on is free, naturally I assumed this for Frontier. Frontier, $30. Then you would think the employee checking me into my flight would have told me or warned me about a carry-on fee. I had to find out at the gate that Frontier charges up to $60 for all carry-ons. Now I know why the tickets are so cheap, but if you have any kind of luggage, you might be bettet off just paying what the other airlines are charging for airfare (might be cheaper, especially after Frontier's luggage fees)."
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: "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."
Cons: "No cushioned seats, seats do not recline"
Cons: "Ala cart pricing, the sales pitch of the Frontier credit card."
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."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "I enjoyed being in the very front for my flight because it didn't take as long to get off and I was close to the restroom as well."
Cons: "That someone on plane didn't smell too well and my neighbor kept digging and up his nose and putting his fingers in his mouth. I didn't really like you had to pay for a carry-on, along with paying for snacks"
Pros: "Tricky low priced tickets"
Cons: "Charges everywhere."
Pros: "Staff"
Cons: "Charges for seats and baggage."
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: "Prices to high"
Cons: "Charge for cabin lugguage and soft drinks"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The 4hr delay that wasn't told until post check in. I was forced to rent a car and made it faster than the plane."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating"
Pros: "offered a direct flight"
Cons: "seats are very upright and hard, didn't recline at all."
Cons: "There was delay on the plane due to mechanical issues with cargo door not being able to close The plane was stuffy"

Cons: "Better seats, entertainment, keep travelers updated to a landing time"
Cons: "Flight was delayed for 8 hours"
Cons: "The seats !"
Pros: "Absolutely nothing. What I liked best was my refund (which I still haven't received)."
Cons: "Flight from Bogota to FL was delayed an hour (there was only an hour between our connections) AND the FL airport forces you to go through customs between flights for connections which took 1.5 hours, so we missed our connection by 2.5 hours. Spirit's solution was to purchase another flight from them"
Pros: "Crew was"
Pros: "not much. bumpy flight , seating tight"
Cons: "not much"
Cons: "Check-in line was long and late. Flight was delayed for that reason."
Pros: "I remember I used to fly with spirit and they were the worst airline. I can tell now they have changed a lot and they have improved in all ways. No delays"
Cons: "They should at least have water for the passengers. But in overall it was a pretty comfy flight."
Cons: "They charge for everything!!!"
Cons: "Delays and more delays. 3.5 hours delay boarding. Had us get on plane after first delay, then announced there was no crew and we had to get back off. Nothing is included. Carry on $55, soda or juice $3. Not comfortable. The plane sounded like it was about to fall apart when we landed. Worried for my flight home."
Pros: "Left early. Comfortable seats"
Cons: "Na"
Cons: "I wish I could have enjoyed my flight with my family. Leaving for a wake, and now I’m stuck behind . Attempted to fix or get another flight , and customer service through spirit air and kayak was poor."

Cons: "Nothung is free…"
Cons: "No wifi , customer service"

Cons: "Luggage $45 carry on $38 this is where spirit gets you"
Pros: "Nothing. Dirty and bad service, too expensive. Awful."
Cons: "Everything. See above."
Pros: "AVOID THIS AIRLINE AT ALL COST HORRIBLE"
Cons: "EVERYTHING. EVERYONE ON THE PLANE AND THE AIRPORTS HAD NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THIS AIRLINE"
Cons: "The seats are too small. 2 1/2 hour flight of being in the middle seat was awful."
Pros: "Crew were very friendly and capable."
Cons: "Middle seat too small, space too cramped, ridiculous small tray table. No entertainment, should have the option to give no stars."
Pros: "favorite flight schedule from Den to FLL or visa versa...Thanks"
Pros: "Fast boarding."
Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable and would've been nice to have a tv to watch."
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "Spirit canceled my flight the day before it was supposed to leave and gave me no other options as to how to get to my destination. It almost ruined my vacation."
Cons: "Delays both ways due to crew shortages and maintenance issues, not weather. $50 for a carry on is insulting."
Cons: "Justfly never sent the email confirmation which was stressfuk"
Pros: "It was pretty good not complaining every one was very nice.."

Cons: "Extremely small seats, very very uncomfortable. Our flight was oversold and my boyfriend had to stay behind causing significant inconvenience and extra expense"
Pros: "Didn't have a problem on vegas to Fort Lauderdale flight, connecting flight canceled early AM which made my personal life obligations extremely difficult to meet. After that incident I won't fly with spirit no more, thank you."
Cons: "Didn't have a problem on vegas to Fort Lauderdale flight, connecting flight canceled early AM which made my personal life obligations extremely difficult to meet. After that incident I won't fly with spirit no more, thank you."
Cons: "Bad"
Cons: "I was randomly selected by the airline to do an intensive screening. And when I was minutes late to my flight I had to reschedule for the next day. And now I have to take THREE flights just to get from Florida to Colorado today. Over the course of 13 hours. No help with a hotel and very little consideration. If you don't figure out how to take better care of your fliers in these situations. Then they won't ever fly with you again. Costing you more than it would have costed to help with a hotel. But it was nice flying with spirit when I did! Thanks! Never again."
Cons: "Got bumped from flight because it was oversold. Personnel helped find flight on a different airline the next day. But that was not a direct flight and it was a major inconvenience to arrive a day later than planned."
Pros: "Literally nothing. I mean, I guess the cold hard tile floors were shiny to sit in."
Cons: "They lied about volcanic ash to delay their flight because their crew was not ready to fly (they didn't have enough down time) meanwhile EVERY OTHER FLIGHT FLEW OUT. They would not give us a new flight. They would not give us food vouchers. No car rentals. No housing. We were stranded in a foreign country for 12 extra hours with NOTHING. On top of that they were rude, unhelpful, and after the 12 hour delay, DELAYED THE FLIGHT AGAIN. They would not help with anything. They simply blamed the "ash" that apparently didn't affect any other airline but Spirit. Never ever using them again."
Pros: "Newer plane from Detroit to Ft. Lauderdale."
Cons: "passenger behind me constantly allowed the tray table to fall, they were really tall and their knees were constantly banging into the back of my chair. I wanted to switch seats with the person behind them so that passenger could feel how they were treating me"
Cons: "Very good"
Pros: "The crew was friendly. Our pilot was awesome, told jokes and had a great sense of humor. We left on time and arrived early. Would definitely fly Spirit again."
Cons: "Size limit for personal item is too small. I could have easily fit my "oversized" personal item under the seat in front of me."
Pros: "They try to get money in every way possible. They give you a good price on the flight ticket and then they get you on your luggage in a terrible way. 40 pounds instead of 50 like every one else. You have to pay for the carry on as well. They won't even give you water. First and last time with them. No thanks."
Cons: "I hate their crooked way to do business."
Pros: "Flights were cheap but then charge is excessive for both hand luggage and checked bags. I've never heard of anyone charging 45$ for hand luggage. Count that both ways and now the cost is more than other airlines!"
Pros: "Crew was good"
Cons: "Got to pay for even water..."
Cons: "I was asked to change my seat from 29A to 3E to accommodate a family who wanted to sit together. I was told that 3E was a better seat. 3E turned out to be a nightmare. A row away was a child who screamed for 75% of the flight but that wasn't the worst part. 3E was situated between a man and a woman who must have weighed 450 pounds! I literally had half of a seat for the entire flight. I really feel that I should be reimbursed because of how uncomfortable I was forced to fly for the entire flight. A person of that size should not be squeezed into a row of three seats."
Cons: "Unable to use TSA precheck. Since I was unable to pay for bags while on the Jayak site, I had to pay $10 more later on the Spirit Air site"
Pros: "The greeter was pleasant."
Cons: "The customer service skills, or lack of thereof by the agents, and particularly of the manager, Davell. I could not check in at the kiosk and had to see an agent, which took 45 minutes due to the lack of organization to tend to the people. Because of this wait I miss my flight. Everyone around me was upset about something regarding the airline. However, even though I had missed my flight already, it was my birthday trip and I was not going to allow anything to ruin it. I figured I could just get on the next flight which was a couple of hours later ( in my head this was possible). When I finally got to an agent she informed me that the next flight was at 8:00pm. I was not willing to wait, but kindly asked if there was a manager I could speak to. As a person with more than 10 years of customer service, and always finding a way to help people, I was hoping to catch a break. I saw the manager whom with zero empathy told me to get in line. Stating that "she was the manager and there was a line of people who all needed to speak with her". I did not like her response, but complied and got in line. After Ms. Davell "helped" one person she proceeded to go to the back. I assumed to a break room or her office. At this point I started documenting the chain of events because, I wanted to share my concern with the airline. Ms. Davell came back and talked to a customer on the side, (whom had not been waiting in line for over 40 minutes for the second time) I attempted to get her attention by saying (nearly shouting)"ma'am", but she kept walking as if she hadn't heard me. It was then that I asked another agent for the name of the manager, but when she said it I could not understand it, so I asked "how do you spell it?". This agent said, "I don't know". So I replied, "you don't know how to spell your manager's name?" she responded "no". Then I asked her for her name. She said "Alicia". I thanked her and I added her name to my documentation. Minutes later, Manager Davell came out again to "help" someone on the opposite side of the counter. I could not just stand there and wait anymore. So, I walked towards her, and after she "helped" that person. I expressed her my case, and without any kind of empathy or even falsely pretending to care, she said there was nothing she could do. She said the next available flight was the next day. Keep in mind that all this time Ms. Davell is looking at me straight in the face without even a fake smile , and with one eyebrow as high as her hairline. I was extremely disappointed for just the lack of customer service and very calm expressed it to her. I stated that as a manager, she was leaving me a lot to wish for. I added that I could not believe she was a manager. Her response, "ok" with the elevated eyebrow and an "I don't care" face. I then went to Delta and bought a one way ticket to Fort Lauderdale. Everything was completely different, and I regreted not booking my flight with Delta to begin with."
Pros: "It was an overall great experience. He flight was very smooth even for someone who is terrified of flying."
Pros: "The boarding process was smooth and we took off/ landed on time."
Cons: "The crew was complaining as we were boarding about how tired they were to each other and not really helping guests. There was a crying baby for a long time on the red eye and I felt they could've offered the mother some help but they didn't do anything. Then the mother tried to stand up after we had landed but before the seat belt sign had gone off and the stewardess freaked out on her. Could've handled the situation much more professionally. The seats suck, the tray tables suck, not having a complementary beverage sucks, and paying for carry on bags sucks. But that's Spirit and everyone knows that is why they suck."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything worst airline."
Pros: "Prompt smooth flight"
Cons: "On time"
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "everything"
