"no help whatsoever"

(United States)

Trip Verified | 6pm flight. Delayed several times for bad weather (okay, better safe than sorry). Then cancelled. The problem started here. I was the first person in line to schedule a new flight and my first option was 3 days away! No vouchers for food or room. Asked for options to fly somewhere else then home, all I got was a no and blank stare. Absolutely no help whatsoever. Hope the pilots care a little more while they have my life in their hands !

"Such a bad encounter"

(Philippines)

Trip Verified | Newark to Orlando. I had a very bad encounter with this flight. The attendants were rude and impatient with the kids. They smirk, roll their eyes and talk under their breath when asked for a favor. They are texting and using their mobile phones while discussing the safety precautions. I will never ride this plane again. Such a bad encounter. The ground staff members are also rude and unhelpful. They laughed at us when our luggage was over weight. Very condescending when we asked if we can transfer the other stuff to the to other luggage.

"carry on Spirit is charging you 55$"

(United States)

Trip Verified | The worst airline ever. I am right now, traveling from Ft Lauderdale to Baltimore. I always decide not to get ticket from this airline but every time due to a special condition one of my family are getting the ticket/s. Believe me their ticket is not cheap because for a carry on Spirit is charging you 55$ and when you object, for 2 inches they bother you so much. The personnel’s are impolite.

"$160.00 because over 40 pounds"

(United States)

Not Verified | Orlando to Charlotte. Luggage weighed 46 pounds. Two passengers with one bag each cost $160.00 because over 40 pounds. My luggage was put on wrong carousel and other airlines give you a free drink. Spirit even charges for that too. I will never fly Spirit again. That is why they have lower prices. They get you on the cost of your luggage! No WiFi or Power. Seats did not recline

"They should be shut down"

(United States)

Not Verified | This is a follow up to my review on 8/10/2019. My 18 year old son and two 17 year old friends were at Lagardia Airport in New York over three hours early and missed the flight due to a scanner problem at the airport. Spirit said the next flight would be today, 8/12/2019. Spirit said there was nothing they could do. The families had to get the boys a hotel. They made it to Lagardia four hours early and got on the plane. They sat on the plane for two and a half hours because of what they were told was a "scratch" on the plane. They said other passengers were so mad they demanded and actually got off the plane. Finally they departed and had to catch a connecting flight in Fort Lauderdale Florida. The original tickets we bought were for a non stop flight, but "there is nothing we can do", they said. Even though with the scratched airplane they made it to the gate 15 minutes before take off, Spirit told them they sold their seats to someone else, "but don't worry, we booked you on another flight." This will be another four hour wait. And "there is nothing we can do", they said. Six parents are extremely worried about their children. They were supposed to return home here near Dallas Texas on 8/10/2019 at about 5pm. It is now 8/12/2019 at 5pm and they are in Florida. They should be shut down. I hope I do not have to make another follow up to this review.

"Manager was useless in rectifying the situation"

(United States)

NotVerified | Chicago to Baltimore. We will never fly Spirit Airlines again - flight was cancelled and the next available flight was two days later. They refused to put my daughter on a different airline. Offered no money to cover hotel or food and didn’t give a damn about the inconvenience or cost of this delay. Manager was useless in rectifying the situation.

"delayed 7 times in the past 24 hours"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Boston to Baltimore. Don't rely on Spirit Airlines for actually arriving on time. It's more of cheap but best effort service. The 'best' part is me being very liberal. My flights have been delayed 7 times in the past 24 hours and their front desk is very unhelpful.

"staff had an awful attitude"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Ft Lauderdale to Hartford. The staff had an awful attitude. Our flight was delayed because a young lady, her boyfriend, and her nieces were kicked off the flight for taking a picture together. The flight attendant accused the woman of taking pictures without consent and when she was informed that the man was her boyfriend and the children were their relatives the flight attendant became angry and embarrassed and had them removed from the flight. The children looked scared and confused and none of the staff showed any remorse. Even after that incident the staff was rude, miserable, and seemed as though they could care less about giving any effort to good customer service. It’s an absolute joke of an airline. Their cheap prices shouldn’t mean they can lack in decent employees who actually care about their jobs. Will never fly again. Kicking children off a flight for no reason is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting.

"was the best flight attendant"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Orlando to Cleveland. First I do not like the delay their and back was ridiculous, however when I boarded the plane from Orlando to Cleveland the flight attendant David was so awesome he was the best flight attendant I have ever came across. He made me laugh and forget about the delayed flight I wish he was on all the flights I take.
