We were in transit from Lima (flight at 1.10am) and we were in stand by in our flight from Panama to Washington. We wait from 4.30 am to 18.30pm in the Airport. The company give us 2 x 15 dollars for eat during the day and a personnal travel voucher of 400 dollars each. Do they buy food one time something in the Airport ??? And one of us live in France so the voucher is not usable. More than 24 hours travel !! And our place were near the toilets, with 8 children around us. The boy behind my seat stamped his feet on my back all the flight. Really Wonder full ! So we are totally unhappy with our travel. Thanks Copa Airlines....

It would have been better if they don't separate families in seating. We were seated in the aile row in the middle of a family of four. It would have been better if they they seat the family of four together than separated.

I upgraded myself to Business Class at the last minute so I had a DREAMS window seat. Seeing as I've never flown Business before everything was novel and fun for me and it made the 7 hour flight much more enjoyable for sure.

No headphones given for inflight entertainment. I missed my flight from the previous day and the customer service agent tried to extort an additional $100.00 US from me for missing my flight. Really?!

It was reasonably comfortable trip considering its duration (7 hours). Crew was very good and friendly, seats very more comfortable than other planes. Only negative comment would be that the bathroom light did not get its full brightness 🙃

The flight was delayed about 4 hours without any explanation. No wifi or entertainment at all on planes. Had to pay for checked bags I was allowed according to reservations.

It was good, plane is a bit older so seats are somewhat flat

Copa stranded us ans then tried to charge us thousands to leave Panama.

Friendly flight team and seamless travel from one stop to next.

I loved my experience. Very safe, Very informative and very friendly.

i think the flight was late because they were so strict about measuring everyone's personal items to try and charge them $119. It was really petty and made us late.

A few years ago long flights 6 hours or so used to have video screens and they offered ear phones. The food cart used to come and drinks. Now absolutely nothing. Avianca is as bad as Spirit Airlines. Avianca will now be my last choice when booking my next flight.

Terrible, We had to stay in Bogota for two days due to weather but the airline did not provide for the same day flight. Only two days later

Excellent flight and one of the smoothest landing I’ve ever experienced

There isn't much space in-between seats and even water needs to be paid for during the flight.

We did not know about the bag fees until check in. They are way too high. It’s insane. We also had a huge delay and everything costed extra which was very annoying.

Lounge for business was closed. Boarding was rush and stand by. Seat for business is just the middle seat blocked and some more leg room.

We were not aware carry-on bags cost extra until we arrived at the airport so, we were charged $240.00 for two small carry- on bags! There was a substantial fee for drinks and snacks. No wifi, or other entertainment was available. Waiting areas were crowded and uncomfortable.

So so, you feel like you have to pay for everything each time

COP 7,000 for a cup of mediocre coffee. I thought I was on Spirit Airlines for a minute. Otherwise the flight was fine. Nothing exceptional to report.

It was fast but uncomfortable seats. Had to pay a bit extra not sure why? Maybe in selection of all my 4 tix together ? Just knew I had a balance before getting boarding pass online when departing from satx ? And flight was delayed..

No leg room AT all extremely uncomfortable flight water even cost 5 dollars

Everything on the flight was OK. However, the price is very deceiving the way that it is marketed. It seems like it’s going to be very low cost, but when you add in the charges for luggage, choosing a seat, food & drink, etc., that are already included in other competitors fares, it really is no cheaper, and possibly even more expensive than the other carriers. It actually makes your carrier seem dishonest.

Don't charge so much for the luggage. Bis so much

Spirit canceled the flight, sent no notification and then refused to issue a refund. Trash airline, will never fly again.

My experience with Spirit airlines was terrible. We had a 5 hour delay going to Jamaica and about a 3.5 hour delay returning home with no explanation keep in mind there was already a 4 hour layover in addition to the delay on the return home . We should have arrived in Montego Bay at 1:30pm on 12/22/24 instead we did not get there until about 5 or 6pm our final destination was Negril which is about a 2 hour drive from the airport so we did not reach our hotel until after 8pm so we literally spun the entire day traveling. On 12/27/24 we headed back home. We had arrived in Fort Lauderdale around 4-4:30pm for our layover expecting to be fly from there a little after 9pm and get back to Philadelphia by 12:05am Saturday morning 12/28/24. Once at the airport we kept receiving emails every 15-30 minutes or so apologizing for a delay with the time pushed further and further back. We did not depart from Fort Lauderdale until 12:33am. I forgot to mention that I was traveling with my 5 year old son so if you have small children you already know how that went. The only compensation they gave was two 12 dollar meal vouchers one for my son and one for for myself that we were not able to use because by the time they sent them the places in the airport were mostly closed and we were finally boarding the plane. The staff were very unprofessional and were being rude when we asked them questions about why the time kept getting pushed back. This was my first and absolute last time traveling by way of Spirit airlines. I most absolutely will not ever travel Spirit again. By far the most terrible travel experience thus far.

Horrible I paid for extra for better seats. At time of checking my seats were sold to someone else. I need a refund and more for my bad experience

Never been worse. Never again even if the ticket were free.

The flight was delayed and the announcements were hard to hear, but the crew was great

I’m not a fan of Spirit Airlines from a not-so-good experience the last time & I swore I would not fly this airline again- bc they charge for EVERYTHING. I only flew Spirit this time bc it wasn’t my choice. I decided to use a “Mystery Ticket” bc of the great price, not knowing it would choose this airline! I found out on this trip how they pick a random seat with a “sticker” for a prize-are we in first grade? just doesn’t seem right & now the first 3 or 4 rows get special treatment-we all paid for our tickets, not just them.
