Long layover between flights to Long Island from BWI - need better coordination between flights

I elected to pay for the upgrades and found very little difference

The new seating arrangement is so over priced for what you get.

Snacks are always pretzels. Why can't you also offer peanuts ?

Flight was hours late, unable to sit next to spouse, I have had so much better experiences. Substantially better, only saving grace was that it was a short flight.

An entire day of delays. Cost lots of money. Meals and a hotel.

Only downside was the legroom and seat width, which is always a problem unless I spend more for a premium seat.

Great flight but super high price. Glad it was a business trip and not personal

On time. Friendly staff. Took to long to pre bord all the specialty groups. Cramped small plane

No delays and arrived to destination 30 min early. Staff was super friendly.

I was traveling with two small kids and our TV s were the only ones not working. Informed the flight attendant who did nothing about them.

I was especially impressed without efficiently the crew got passengers on and off. One of the stewards was slightly gruff, I thought. No big deal but that's what I noticed.

Onboard functioning wide-variety entertainment on a budget and having an open pantry is nice. Seats are not comfortable but go provide plenty of legroom for a 6'2" 260lbs man.

Even though the weather made a lot of flights become cancelled Jet Blue made the flight that was supposed to leave at 9 pm and we left at 12:15 am and I was so grateful- Thanks to the Senior Jet Blue Staff who made those decisions

Worst customer service ever experienced on the planet, dirty plane, no communication, and severe delays

Flight cancelled 2 hours prior to boarding. No explanation. No refunds.

Delayed by 1.5 hours. Terrible apologies, half hearted at best. It will be a LONG time until i book w Jet Blue again. Very disappointed.

They made me check my bag and I didn't need to as there was overhead space available. I paid for a seat towards the front of the plane and it didn't recline. I requested a refund and they declined to give me one.

I have to congratulate Kayak (and Dylan the Chatdeal agent) because because when we decided extended our trip in Florida by two days, there were many direct flights oprions back to Boston available on the Friday we wanted to fly on the JetBlue website, but once I canceled the original JetBlue flight on their website, those direct return options disappeared immediatley! I think it's a game JetBlue plays. . Luckily, I checked Kayak and they had a direct flight that wasn't appearing on JetBlue's website and so I booked it, and we were able to fly home direct through the Kayak booking when JetBlue was offering nothing (even though I have been a True Blue member for 20 years, and also am a Mosaic member). So much for loyalty- their algorithm for booking is like a shell game. JetBlue used to be a good company but now they're worse than anyone. Also I was originally booked this trip to Florida, two months before the departure date, I booked the trip on JetBlue's website and then after the payment part, they said there was a problem and that I needed to do the booking again, so when I immediately went to rebook , the price had gone up 30%! I called them and it sounded like they had heard this so many times before and the guy told me to check back in 10 minutes and the price would be back to where it was when I was booking- it but it never was. How could the price go up 30% in one minute two months before the flight???? They're playing a game with their customers. Anyways, I booked a cheaper flight then at a less convenient time. So fast forward two months the night before the 7 AM flight, they sent me an email at midnight when I was sleeping to let me know that my flight at 7 AM had been canceled. The only thing they offered was a flight that night from from a different airport (Providence) to a different airport in Florida (West Palm Beach) or a flight two days later. No compensation, nothing. They couldn't of tried to get another plane to the Boston airport? They had all night to do it. I passed on their ridiculous options and flew with Delta and it was a great experience. Of course, I had to pay a lot more booking on the same day, but JetBlue doesn't care. I put in a lengthy complaint with the agent who assured me someone would get back to me by email within three days and I haven't heard a thing. JetBlue used to be a good company but now they're among the worst. The only thing they still have is decent legroom, but the corporate bean counters will probably start taking that away too.

We were made to wait in the airport for six hours for a flight that was ultimately canceled.

Human interaction. Thought there would be more service-even a smile would have been nice.

It was canceled at the last minute. While I was literally at the airport. Messed my entire trip up.

Moved to earlier flight which unexpectedly had maintenance issues initially indicated as quick fix to ultimately plane changes. Moved back to original flight, also delayed. In all cases customer updates and communication very unclear, no updates on drivers for delays.

Better snacks but flight and crew were amazing on this flight

The flight attendant in business class was excellent! Professional, friendly and attentive.

Terrible planning. And even worse gate agents. Absolutely rude behavior.

Rough flight No beverage service due to turbulence Bottom Seat cushion was non existent

They put me on an earlier and I got home sooner

Not good. One of my luggage is missing. And until now they can’t find it

Delay after delay with little communication then AA lost my luggage and at airport would not assist just said scan this QR code to track your luggage and submit a claim. However QR code provided did not work so have to go back to airport

My first time experience with Spirit Air was not good at all.The reason i did not know to cancel 24Hrs before flight depature you do charge cancellation fee. It's ridiculous policy.Actually you should provide full voucher instead of charging cancellation fee. Confirmation Code# ZNVPHG Thanks Much , Rita S

Food and entertainment see irrelevant to rate them as that’s not really an option anymore. The flight was fast and friendly. The plane was immaculately clean.

Bad airline to travel with my flight was delayed for more than 3 hours they act like it’s normal

My flight was delayed by over an hour and the turbulance was horrible.

The flight was delayed over an hour which got us into DFW at approximately 2:20 am

Terrible. Spirit cancelled the flight with 3 hours notice and were absolutely no help getting another flight. Had to make my own reservation on another airline and arrived in Dallas 12 hours later.

They cancelled the flight due to crew unavailability. The next day they cancelled the flight again.

That gate is like a ducking shelter at Newark No where to sit Outlets that don’t work Bathrooms that are dirty

The most horrible flight ever not only Spirit delayed our flight 2 hours departure time for a 1 hour flight — that I could have driven FLL to TPA and spend less time on the road —- and they did the same on the return with 2-hr delay again!!! Then to top all, the rubber like and most unconfortable seats in the industry with no leg room!!! There should be an award for these kinds of companies measuring % of returning customers!!!

Boarding and unboarding processes were pretty smooth. I gave a low score for Boarding because of how my flight was missing from all the boards at the airport, and when I checked the flight status on the Spirit website, it said it would be departing from Terminal E, gate D15. There are no "D" gates in terminal E.

It was an early flight and most people napped/slept and the crew let us which was nice.

It didn’t happen. I booked it and then was told it wasn’t available and then forced to pay far higher prices for a worse option

This company socks. It's fraud. They canceled our flight yesterday, and today we were late because of a really long line at the check in bag. At the rebook station, there was ton of people. The workers were all rude. I am gonna make a report to FTC.

Flight got delayed for 5 hours no good explanation was offered ;(

When I wanted to check in 3 hours prior to boarding time, the employees mentioned “a little over an hour delay” so I waited for an hour then I went to go look for food in the terminal and most people from that flight were in the same area looking for food. Finally I decided after food to check to see if it’s anytime closer and now it’s 2 mins until boarding closes?! What are you kidding me? I didn’t receive anything via sms about boarding now nor via email or on the intercom. I luckily made it through, barely, and then there’s no room for my carry on mind you I’m in the very first row so I had to place my purse in one further row back and my carry on sections down. Not sure who pays for better seats to get your stuff placed all over the plane but that was the worst experience I’ve ever had flying with anyone.

There was no one at the counter to assist with our check in. The app didn’t work, so I arrived at the airport with time to check in and I couldn’t because no employees were there. When I finally got someone on the phone, it was inside the 60min rule and they said I could no longer check in and they could sell me another ticket. We had to scramble and pay an additional $800 for tickets and THEN AFTER (about 60 min from my original convo with customer service and 10min after original departure time) I had boarded my new flight, there was email saying my original flight from Frontier was delayed and leaving 2hr 50min later, but I STILL wouldn’t have been able to check in. Which means customer service should have been able to see it and let me check in because I was well within my check in time. When I call Frontier, they hang up on me. So their app didn’t work and they employees left and they take zero responsibility or assistance with their “customer service”

Everyone seemed to be in zone 1 for boarding. Maybe break it up a little. Otherwise, smooth flight.

The experience was good. No frills but I got there safe and sound and on time.

After boarding and un-boarding twice over 6+hours, the flight was canceled.

Severe turbulence. Captain never came on to reassure passengers after things settled down.
