Find Cheap Flights from San Jose Juan Santamaria Intl to Fort Lauderdale (SJO - FLL)

The Costa Rican airport tax was not included in the airline ticket price so we had to spend more than an hour (!) in San Jose airport to pay the tax (whereas other airline companies include thia tax in their ticket price). Everything costs extra in Spirit/ In short, terrible experience.

I didn't get o to this flight at all. Staff were very friendly, but completely overwhelmed and inexperienced. They were told to tell us that we had to switch flights because we wouldn't make the connecting flight, but in fact it was because the flight was overbooked. They said I'd get a hotel and then I had to take a taxi to the hotel where there was no room - as the hotel and had already informed the Spirit airlines staff. By the time I returned to the airport for a new hotel voucher it was 3am - and I'd been at the airport since 12am. Mostly it was also crazy to see the situations of other passengers with that airline. The staff were nice, but I wouldn't even feel safe flying with spirit again, much less like I'd be well served.

Direct Flight

Nickle and dimed me to death. They call them "frills" I say when every other airline includes the costa rican "EXIT THE COUNTRY TAX" in their fare, but spirit doesn't mention them and then makes you pay before allowing you to get a boarding pass or LEAVE THE COUNTRY!! What the heck. $55 for my CARRY ON BAG!!! Frills????????? I think not! These are BASICS!! THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED NOT CHARGED AFTER THE FACT. So. 250 for plane tickets plus $55 twice and $30 exit tax. So $390. NOT $250. TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH!!

Nothing

No leg Room food to expensive they charge you for every single thing

The new plane looks good very roomy but the seats are rough not comfortable at all hurts your lower back they need more patting too stiff hard seats

Crew was friendly and attentive. I lost my passport in the plane and everyone helped me and even made a big deal when we found it. Very nice.

By far the most uncomfortable plane ride I've ever been on. No legroom no recliner. For a 2 am flight it was miserable. I'm pretty tall so it was even worse for me but the price was great so I guess you get what you pay for.

The plane was new and very clean.

Every flight I have taken with Spirit has been late; this one was delayed 45 minutes. Spirit nickels and dimes you for extras. They treat humans like cattle during the check in process.

I liked the crew.

bag charges and limitation of 40 LBS on checked bag and carry-on charges. I was not able to download boarding pass prior to flight.

The flight attendant Edgardo was excellent! He was very professional and friendly and pleasant! The snacks are excellent and appreciated. The leg room was awesome - keep up the good work as you are our airline of choice!

It seemed to take a long time to get everyone on board. Several people boarded at the last minute. We sat in the plane a long time before leaving.

Seats and space

Food selection

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

Nothing... Entire experience horrible for my 17 year old.

Everything. Will never use American Airlines again

First class

Courtesy and smiling faces.

I actually have no complaints. All went well on both legs of my flight.
