Find cheap flights from Tampa to California

Cons: "From check in to boarding and then flight all were fantastic. We were traveling with 2 kids as well under 3"

Cons: "A little cramped and you should be more upfront about a dumb fee of $45 for a carry on. I thought I was getting a good deal on a flight but I guess I was wrong. I will probably fly with an airline that doesn’t charge you for something that should be free from now on"

Cons: "Will not be using. Hidden charges doe luggage. No complimentary drinks. Filthy conditions. Will not be using frontier ever again."

Pros: "Service was fast and friendly and very efficient!!"

Pros: "The counter attendant was helpful to find another flight."
Cons: "The delays that are caused by the very slow computers at the ticket counters. I did not like that I had to 'somehow' get to Orlando to get into the next flight to NJ. Even though I arrived 1 hr before the flight."

Pros: "Checking in was quick."
Cons: "Cramped seating. You didn't tell us about the extra charge on the carry on and if you did it was too hidden."

Pros: "It was on time."
Cons: "The seats are too small, and not padded much, so it is like sitting on a folding chair. THE SEATS DONT RECLINE. There was a 4" tray table because there isn't room for the normal 8"? (Guess) tray table to go. You can't put a laptop or anything on the tray table. I am a petite girl and i could not bend over in my seat to try snd get your personsl item... My head would hit the seat in front of me...very uncomfotable flight. Everything was an extra: we paid $35 to check each bag and $40 to carry one on. Pay for drinks on flight. No movie. I will never choose to fly Frontier ever again, unless it's my only option."

Cons: "When I book a flight on price I don't expect to be charge after that for everything. They used to be one of my favorite, but I haven't flown with them for awhile. I guess you need to research there policies be fore booking, people budget there travels, so it really sad that once you check in your charged for luggage, carry-on's, and your seat you even get charges for a drink of water. I won't fly with them again!"

Pros: "Considering I almost didn't get a seat in the plane even though I paid for my flight prior to the fly day, there isn't much that I did like. However, I do realize that it was not any of the crews fault. With that being said, I loved how informational and informative and polite the flight crew was. Even the pilot had great communication with us and the flight attendants."
Cons: "Well where should I start. Talk about delay and they wouldn't even up date up on the delays either. When I would walk up to the desk and ask he was too busy to answer any of my questions. I also got there early and I aparntly didn't have a seat on the plane! I was going home to supruze my father for easter and there was no way I could have gone any later. I waited for everyone else to line up and go inside and get their seat because I noticed that my ticket has NN on my seat number and my zone was 99. This is very uncalled for. Considering that I payed an outrageous cost for one damn flight to Illinois in which I know you all do every night! They closed the doors to the hallway to the plane and informed not only myself but 3 others to go to the desk and they would figure out what they could! THERE WAS A WOMEN WHO HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET HOME FOR 3 DAYS. So you obviously had screwed her over and now you were about to screw all of us. Now I will say yes I am very upset with you at Frontier. But I was not about to take it out on the people working at the airport. The companies practice of overbooking is unexceptable during this time of year, Easter weekend, and not saving a seat for a women who has been trying to go home for three days. I am very upset and my ticket was very overpriced. Specially for how I got treated, due to he overbooking. Now they had one seat saved/ left over and because I kept my calm and didn't yell at your workers inside he airport they offered it to me. But if it was not for my calmness I would not be home with my family. That right there is unexceprtable!"

Pros: "The crew was pretty friendly."
Cons: "Getting checked in, in Denver was unappealing. The person at the check in desk to get our boarding passes was very unfriendly and it was not busy. She was not overwhelmed or anything, just rude. The trays and the seats on the planes were horrible! I have been flying since I was in 3rd grade and I am about to graduate college. The last time I flew with Frontier it was amazing (it was like 2 or three years ago), and this time it was completely horrid. Next time I will pay extra to fly in more comfortable seats...especially when we are flying a red eye."

Pros: "Did not eat any food ate prior to boarding,was no entertainment on board."

Pros: "Boarding was quick"
Cons: "Seat leg room is too small Don't like that you have to pay for snacks"

Pros: "It was affordable, quick and easy."
Cons: "They make you pay for any drink, even a cup of soda. So cheap airfare equals no free drinks. They don't even give a small bag of nuts anymore... All the airlines air cheap skates today. But what can ya do. That's what we get today."

Pros: "The crew was wonderful and the flight comfortable Thankyou Mary Pete"

Pros: "Flights were on time"
Cons: "Nickel and dime you to death."

Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "Plane was 1.5 hours late. Seats are terrible. Charge for everything."

Pros: "Perfect landing"
Cons: "I didn't have a pillow!"

Pros: "The boarding process was quick and the crew was very nice and funny!! They tried to keep everyone laughing and calm in a unusual situation."
Cons: "Although I understand the weather is out of your control, this was by far the bumpiest ride I have every taken. The turbulence was scary and the first third of the flight we were unable to move about or relax!"

Cons: "I had a 2.5 hour flight that landed around midnight-- unfortunately I was unable to sleep at all during the flight. Even though there are no complimentary drinks or snacks, the flight crew turned the lights on for over an hour so they could ask each patron if they wanted to purchase anything. The seats are tiny and I could barely fit my 5'3" frame legs comfortably in front of me. Do yourself a favor and pay more for a real airline."

Pros: "Loved that the pilot introduced himself and he was very upbeat and pleasant. Stewardesses were pleasant and self-assured. Overall, making me more comfortable with flying because we do not fly very often. We were seated in aisle 4 and it seemed a bit more noisy in front rather than in the rear of the plane. There was some turbulence, but not as much as when we flew to Florida two weeks ago."
Cons: "Our flight was scheduled for 7:55 pm. We arrived at the Frontier Counter about 5 pm and had to wait for approximately an hour before any Frontier representative arrived to begin the checking-in procedure. If this is the procedure at Tampa Airport, then more seating should be available in the check-in areas to accommodate those elderly persons who cannot stand for long periods of time."

Cons: "We had to cancel & need to rebook. Have had no help to do so. Maleta Dunne"

Pros: "It was good,on time and pretty comfortable"
Cons: "Not enough water and to much ice"

Pros: "Boarding and arrival went smoothly."
Cons: "Cramped uncomfortable seats, the tray tables are about the size of a postcard, on top of fees that were not mentioned at all during my booking process (ie, carry on fee, you need to pay for -everything- on the flight including sodas/coffee/water they would give you for free on other airlines). I would suggest springing for a different airline at a higher cost because you'll be more comfortable and it'll end up costing you about the same in the end."

Pros: "Although I paid extra for my carry-on ($45; which I was aware of, but some people may not be) the flight attendants were friendly and professional. They were courteous upon stepping onto the plane and throughout the duration of the flight. The seats were comfortable, and overhead space was plentiful. My 2.5 hour flight from Tampa to PHL was shortened to 2 hours. Overall, it was a great experience flying Frontier for my very first time."

Pros: "Plane was clean"
Cons: "Despite the fact that their ticket counter was open for other flight departures, they only allow you to check in beginning two hours before your scheduled takeoff time. This really means you have only an hour and a half until your flight begins to board. On the flight they mentioned wanting more people in the exit row, but you would have to pay an extra $50 because it has more leg room, needless to say everyone chuckled at this blatant ripoff attempt. On the flight you have two pay $2 for a small glass of water, not a bottle but a small plastic cup filled primarily with ice. When we landed we had to wait 45 minutes before the checked baggage began to arrive. Overall this is a very poor airline. Watch out for the fees as they charge you $20 for each airline interaction. I would suggest avoiding them if you can as the price rapidly rises above your ticket cost & the hassles for basic services are not worth the cost."

Cons: "the lady at the counter told me that my bag was ok if i told some things out , i threw away some things i wanted came back and she preceeded to tell i still had to pay 45 dollars and she did not tell me that so i lost my samples and am very angry"

Pros: "The price - but it won't create long term customers"
Cons: "The space, the aircraft felt cheap/unsafe which made turbulence more unsafe, the tray tables don't even fit a small lap top which is comical, the lack of food availability. Overall feels extremely cheap and unsafe in camparison to other aircrafts. Comparable to Spirit."

Cons: "Worst costumer service I have ever dealt with. Spoke with three employees that each told me to do something different. Finally, spoke to a department head and was told that his employees were misspoken. Who trains these guys?"

Pros: "The pilot was very friendly, I liked his tie. The copilot was also friendly."
Cons: "The rest of the staff were rude and unprofessional. The chairs were so uncomfortable. There was no complimentary drink, and when you ask for just water the staff rolls their eyes and gives it to you as if it was the biggest inconvenience for them. When they approach you with the cart they say, "Is anyone purchasing anything?" I also didn't like that there was hardly any announcements on the loudspeaker to let us know about what is happening, or when we might approximately be landing."

Cons: "flight was an hour off with no explanation as to the cause. Seats did not recline and were terribly uncomfortable."

Pros: "Comfortable plane"
Cons: "Delayed 3.5 hours"

Pros: "Boarding was quick, being in the front of the plane was nice, and the flight staff were professional and excellent"
Cons: "Seats weren't that comfortable, but spacious enough."

Pros: "Left and arrived on time."
Cons: "Charged extra for EVERYTHING from seat selection to carry on bags to watching SILENT TV to even a cup of coffee!!!! Turned my $328 fare into about $450!! ABSURD and OUTRAGEOUS!"

Pros: "Assistance provided with change request."

Pros: "able to get a seat assignment if desired. Crew was great.. Cabin Temperature was comfortable. Seat did not recline. Departed on time"
Cons: "having to purchase food/drink, but who cares when the price is so good. Site leads you to believe you have to buy a seat and pay for any baggage, you really don't have to"

Pros: "I liked having an assigned seat."
Cons: "Paying extra for a bag."

Pros: "There should be another category here, 'Price'. Frontier was cheap, we flew around Thanksgiving and it wasn't bad for that time period. Frontier is all about being as cheap as possible. That's their business model. You have to pay for everything extra so that the base tickets are cheap. Want to select a seat instead of a random one? You gotta pay. Want to carry on a bag or check a bag? You gotta pay. So we packed all our stuff in one bag and factored that into the cost. If you can get away w/ just a backpack under the seat, you're gonna fly for cheaper. I love the way that works."
Cons: "The seats weren't particularly comfortable, but it was a 3 hour flight. Again.. not disappointed given the price."

Pros: "Comfortable"

Pros: "The $100 certificate as an apology!"
Cons: "The 5 hour delay."

Pros: "on time no delays"

Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Having to pay for seat is ridiculous"

Pros: "The flight was so early there were no long lines anywhere, except security. But thatvwas becauee at the time they have a smaller staff at security. I am NOT complaining about the longer lines at security, just know that it takes longer because of 09/11. I would fly frointer again."

Pros: "Fastest plane ride I ever been on. We left on time and arrived at our destination on time. I have absolutely no complaints"

Pros: "The airport agents and crew were really nice and helpful. Checked in online but forgot boarding passes. They printed them, no problem and no charge. Our checked bag was overweight. Knew this might be a problem when we left and brought an empty backpack just in case. They let us rearrange our stuff until we were under the weight limit. They kept a sense of humor about it too. The flight crew came around asap to see if you wanted anything. Faster than other more expensive airlines I've been on. Boarding and getting off went smoothly. Flight was on time. Even paying for checked bag and seat choice our fare was still cheaper than other airlines. Only opted to pay for seating as we brought our grandson since the tickets were so inexpensive. Being his first time flying I thought it would be easier for him and other passengers to have people he knew in both seats as well as I could make sure he had a.window seat. Great value, good quality. If your looking for all the extras, not here. To get to where your going, safely and relatively comfortably, with friendly personnel this is for you. Do add in the cost of luggage and seat if you like certain ones, for this and other airlines, to compare and find the best value for you."
Cons: "Food options weren't great but for a short flight it was fine. Possibly different choices on a longer or mealtime flight? No more expensive than airport, in some cases cheaper. No entertainment to speak of, although you could pay for movies/tv. For short early am flight didn't need it."

Pros: "on time and landed on time. comfortable seat"

Pros: "Only that it was non stop. Everything else was uncomfortable and more expensive that advertised. NEVER AGAIN FLY FRONTIER!!!"
Cons: "Terrible seating, hidden costs, not on time, rude customer service on phone (phillipines), broken luggage."

Cons: "I did not fly"

Pros: "Cheap flight-in the beginning"
Cons: "The seats are 'pre-reclined' which means your sitting strait up and down, my knees where in the chair in front of me for three and a half hours. My carry on bag for both legs of the trip where $70. So in the end a more expensive ticket that includes bags, free seat selection, a drink and a snack is well worth it. Unless your really short, this was the most cramped 3 hours of my life."

Pros: "Great price trumps tight seating."

Pros: "Crew very friendly Flight was very easy"

Cons: "The company spirit needs to work on their gates problem"

Pros: "The flight was felayed. That is tiredsome"

Cons: "Never flying spirit again!"

Pros: "We got to our destination a little early. I was able to check in ahead of time."
Cons: "The seats are so close together that my knees were touching the seat in front of me. Also, the flight attendants were kind of surly."

Pros: "The cost"
Cons: "The seats they don't have much room or move at all"

Pros: "Flight was smooth, crew was great, boarding was easy, excellent trip."

Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "you have to pay for basically EVERYTHING. At the end the flight LA Portla,d cost me more tha LA london....."

Cons: "Have you been screwed over by Spirit airlines? Have you noted how a carry-on costs over $40? Have you noticed that you can't check in on the internet without signing up for their website and giving them all your personal information? Have they suddenly and at the last hour delayed your flight by 4 hours without letting you know, and then claimed that they emailed you, when they didn't? Have you noticed that they don't allowed comments to be posted to their facebook page (because they'd get nothing but bad comments). On top of that, when I got to the front counter, where I was told that my flight was delayed 3 hrs (thanks for not texting ir emailing me about it), I asked the guy at the counter to check and see if I was still on the flight. He confirmed that I was. But when we started boarding, my ticket no longer worked and he could not find me on the flight list! Wtf??? I almost got left out of th plane because of what???"

Cons: "Flight cancelled for no reason"

Pros: "No hassle travel"
Cons: "extra charges for everything"

Pros: "Good flight on time. I fly a lot - exceptional soft landing. Personable, helpful crew."

Pros: "Cheap, on time."

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Every leg of flight was delayed 2 + hours the whole trip was horrible"

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Long lines. Cramped seats."

Cons: "Slow boarding and de-boarding process. Seemed like there was time on both ends to shorten trip."

Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"

Cons: "The attitude of the baggage clerk at the New Orleans Airport. She over charged us for our baggage, and did not correct it."

Pros: "Never will take spirit airline"

Pros: "The flight was great"
Cons: "The seats were uncomfortable"

Pros: "Easy access, boarding, seating. Nice, new plane with updated amenities."
Cons: "The bag space under the seat in front of me seemed larger before, but it's probably just a misconception."

Cons: "I didn't like the baggage policy. I didn't like the check in policy or the fact that they don't support TSA precheck because they hope to sell you on an additional fee that will get you through a prority lane. I didn't like the seats which are hard plastic, close together, and don't recline. I didn't like the mini tray table that wouldn't support my laptop so I couldn't work. I didn't like that Spirit falsely advertises with the tag line "LESS MONEY, MORE GO" when the base fare for my connecting flight on this sub-par airline was more expensive than a direct flight on a better airline-before the other fees were added."

Pros: "My flight experience up to PDX was slightly better than the last time I flew Spirit, which gave me hope that they had improved as a low cost airline."
Cons: "My train was late getting to the airport so the flight had closed when i arrived. Even though I wasn't checking a bag they still wouldn't let me check in. They offered me the same flight the next day for an extra $100. I turned it down since I found a flight the same day for $78 on American (and decidedly a better flight experience)."

Pros: "-"
Cons: "-"

Cons: "The say they are the home of the "bare fare" like it's a good thing. What they mean is, by the time you pay for a lite checked bag or for a single carry on you'll be paying just as much as any of their competitors. And forget about getting any type of snack or refreshments. That is unless you Want to pay out the nose for the grossest drink selection I've ever seen. No entertainment options at all, staff was barely attentive, seats were dirty with no comfort amenities. They were as bad as you can expect from a bargain airline, and not actually cheaper once you include the ridiculous baggage charges."

Pros: "The crew on this flight were friendly, although the Spirit crew on my previous flight were very rude to a woman who was on her way to a funeral when she told them that one in her party had been left at the gate."
Cons: "EVERYTHING cost extra (snack, coffee, water, picking my seat, bringing a carry on, a checked bag over 40 lbs.). The seats didn't recline."

Pros: "Boarding time change disinformation. Eventually take off delayed by half an hour"

Pros: "The crew was nice."
Cons: "I was forced to check-in my luggage even though I've always used this suitcase and I never check it in. I can accept 25$ for a check in, but 50$??"

Cons: "This is bad to cancel the flight like that no explanation"

Pros: "Nice flight attendants"
Cons: "Two hours delayed. No running water so could not wash hands in bathroom or have tea/coffee."

Pros: "Service., staff, size of plane inside.!"
Cons: "Some passengers didn't say 'excuse me' at all."

Pros: "I liked that the fare was cheap."
Cons: "Self-deprecating jokes from the crew about how they charge for bags, food, and oxygen."

Cons: "I booked my return flight the same day i booked my departure. I didn't recieve an email with my itinerary nor was i charged for the flight so i called the airline. After 30 minutes of my time wasted i was still on call waiting. The day before my return flight i panicked and bought a whole new ticket and then like 8 hours before muy flight i get an email asking if I'm ready for muy upcoming flight. I am completely disappointed with both kayak and spirit airlines. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BE BOOKING SPIRIT AIRLINES AGAIN!!"

Pros: "very good service and price,"

Pros: "Thought it was less expensive but in the end with all the baggage fees it wasnt."
Cons: "Very small amount of room. Seats don't recline. Have to pay for even just a basic beverage. I will definitely take a different airline next time I fly."

Pros: "The crew was nice when they told me I was screwed. I was happy to share my frustration with my thousand-plus Facebook friends and to hear other people's stories of getting screwed by Spirit."
Cons: "Didn't find out flight was cancelled until I was at the airport. They didn't have an available flight to LAX until Saturday - TWO DAYS LATER. Completely bush league. NEVER AGAIN."

Cons: "3 hour delay and customer service"

Pros: "Crew was good. Flight attendants very friendly. Tried to make everyone comfortable."
Cons: "Delayed 2 hours at gate due to Spirit IT system glitch. Paperwork had to be done by hand and single supervisor working on another flight that she needed to get on ground before she could work on us. Everything extra. Need to pay step fees to get decent seat, reasonable amount of luggage, and even water. By the time you add all this up, not a bargain. Also they don't participate in TSA pre check so had to wait on lines even with this."

Pros: "Nothing, prices were not even that cheap and after bag fees and other hidden fees it was a complete scam"
Cons: "Everything. Seats don't recline. No water. Bad staff. Terrible pricing strategy"

Pros: "Very smooth. The flight was full but the attendants were super welcoming and attentive. Could have been a little more leg room. Buy for an economy flight, it was just fine. Boarded a bit late but departed and arrived on time."

Pros: "Clean and friendly."
Cons: "Luggage took a while to get unloaded and organized out on the carousel."

Pros: "The food options."
Cons: "That the seats don't recline, that the attendants are rude,"

Pros: "Initial ticket price"
Cons: "Final cost of travel No Legroom Seats do not recline Had to pay extra for a seat had to pay extra for carry on luggage uncomfortable seats hidden costs"

Pros: "The cost of the ticket was less expensive compared to other airlines. The crew was excellent, friendly, attentive and very helpful."
Cons: "Luggage cost extremely high in comparison and No amenities."

Pros: "$45 Phoenix to LAX. Can't go wrong. My carry on easily met the requirements for the free bag. If you're going away for more than a long weekend probably makes more sense to fly another airline."

Pros: "Nothing I will never fly with this airline again"
Cons: "$55.00 for a carry on. Flight delayed for 1.5 hours and still want to charge $3.00 for water. Seats very cramped. Staff not friendly. Check in, the computers were down for 1/2 hour. Should I continue ?"

Pros: "Very little save the fact that the plane was new."
Cons: "Pretty much everything. Low priced at the he outset but by the time they nickel and dime you to death and basically charge for a reasonable sized carry on bag the costs are the same, and at that point you're paying more for less!"

Cons: "I was almost charged for my trolley bag, just because you decided it does not fit (by a centimeter) in your stupid measurement. I had to insert it to my luggage (in 2 shots - the second time it was OVERLOAD???!!!)... Are you serious? Very disappointed... I will try not to fly spirit anymore... Erez Nassimi erezn@hotmail.com"

Pros: "No room no tv 2 hours late delayed it sucked!"

Cons: "Flight delayed then cancelled"
