Pros: "Air traffic control re-routed the flight which delayed our take off and extended our flight time. The captain was good about keeping us informed about the delay, and the new schedule. The delay wasn’t Alaska’s fault, and the crew made the best of a not ideal situation."

Cons: "When I booked the flight my wife and I had adjoining seats. When we checked in we were in the same row but in the middle seats on opposite sides of the isle. On my side there three guys together, the other guys were business men concentrating on their work. I was just trying not to bump into their arms, I couldn't relax."
Pros: "The direct flight is amazing. The status updates were great. The crew was super friendly."

Cons: "Expensive extras (added up to more than a flight on another airline would have been)- carry-ons, in-flight snacks and drinks, etc."
Cons: "I was in the aisle seat and kept getting bumped into by the crew as they walked by. I leaned toward the middle seat but still got hit with the cart, people’s bums, their hips, etc. The flight landed at 4am, so I was tired and really wanted to sleep but couldn’t. Also, the AC was not working during the flight. We were all melting until we started descending. Then, while waiting to get off the plane, they turned off the AC completely. Bad move."
Cons: "Seat 33A. The audio output was bad. Could not clearly hear dialog. Restarting did not help, this issue as consistent got all media programs."

Pros: "Left on time. TSA boarding pass."
Cons: "1. Seats uncomfortable- too close together. Causing the person in the middle to lean on me. 2. The seat in front of me reclined into my space leaving me no room to extract my food tray and to cramped to work on my computer. 3. When buying a ticket no assigned seat. Paid 100.00 extra to select my seat and it didn’t allow me to choose anyway. When I went to select my return seat I had two choices- a middle seat or pay an additional 35.00 for a premium seat. 4. Had to pay 140.00 for luggage with no carry on (70.00 each way) 5. Not going to fly American anymore."
Pros: "Would fly again- irritated at how does a flight manage to get overbooked"
Cons: "Flight was 3 seats overbooked, they had to wait until 3 people willingly took a later flight. Like a game of chicken between 100 people."
Pros: "First class meal (lasagna) was quite good."
Cons: "Flight was two hours late due to snow and deicing."
Pros: "Short flight"
Cons: "Poor ratings for food Is result of not eating any food. No entertainment."
Cons: "Seats in the plane not good, overall an old plane looks like."
Pros: "Flight was on time, got my seat assignment on arrival and scored an exit row seat. Perfect choice for a "shuttle" flight from COS to PHX."
Pros: "I have a walker and it was stowed with the strollers. Was available soon after I arrived. Flight left on time and arrived early. Price was great, even with a few add ons."
Cons: "WIsh they had pillows. I need lower back support and had to use my son's sweatshirt. I will know next time."
Cons: "I didn't like having priceline involved in my purchase. I did not care to use priceline, as I didn't get to pick my seat at purchase, or pay for my checked bag. The price went up when I went back to pick my seat and pay for baggage. Therefore I will not be using kayak again."
Pros: "Plane was clean and looked fairly new. Seemed to be more leg room than usual"
Cons: "Can they give you a soda on a 3+ hour flight? Terrible to have to pay for a non-alcoholic drink"

Pros: "Quick boarding, and fair service"
Cons: "Nothing super fantastic to say, but also no real complaints!"
Pros: "The crew was nice."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 2 hours. Then the gate was occupied when we landed and we had to wait again."
Cons: "I can't believe you have to pay $40 for carryon!!!"
Cons: "First of all I had to deplane because of sewer issues that took several hours to fix. Caused issues with my rental car. Then a $45 bag fee each way on a 2 hour flight that cost $160. That's freaking ridiculous. They say it's a value to fly frontier when it is a complete rip off plus they wanted to charge for coke. Complete joke. Total dillataunts"
Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice and comforting, as this was my first time ever flying and I was terrified."
Cons: "The boarding staff were rude! There was absolutely no form of entertainment. The seats were uncomfortable online said they recline for comfort however I couldn't find anywhere to get them to recline."
Pros: "Nice crew. Smooth process overall."
Cons: "Seats were tolerable for a short flight but not for much longer."
Pros: "Great for anyone simply looking to get from point A to point B - no fuss!"
Cons: "I had a connecting flight so the Plane left without 10 people and me, they had to put us on another flight with another airline. The people working for fhe airline looked dead and didn't care that they already had me waiting for days on a previous flight."
Cons: "They canceled the flight and didn't notify us! We will not every choose to fly spirit again"
Cons: "a $57 fee for a carry on is a bit ridiculous. If I had know this, I would have flown on a different airline for a little bit more cost."
Pros: "It was not bad but it could have been a lot better"
Cons: "The flight attendants were nice, but Spirit makes it a pain in the neck to get your tickets. You first of all are REQUIRED to create an account with them so they can send you advertisements that you don't want cluttering up your mailbox. Second of all you have to pay an extra $10-20 if you want a seat. Furthermore, you have to pay extra for a carry-on. That's ridiculous! The flight was also delayed two hours, so I had to sit around the airport for 4 hours! When you finally board, the leg room is pathetic. I barely had room to fit my legs in with one small handbag! They also make you pay for in-flight refreshments. This is one of the worst flying experiences I have ever had. I am never flying Spirit again!"
Cons: "Same as the the first flight. It might be good for someone on a short business trip without luggage but not for someone going on cruise."
Pros: "I like the base cost and then having the choice to add charges to my ticket designed for my needs."
Cons: "Would like to pick my seat and pay for it ahead of flight."
Cons: "Flight from Phoenix was delayed. Takeoffs and landings were rough."
