Spirit Airlines

Not Verified | Sacramento to Las Vegas. My review is only about two great ladies that work for Spirit in Sacramento. Iman and Rhonda were wonderful, kind, knowledgable and very accommodating. They were bombarded with angry customers, however they solved the problems and everyone was pleased. The airline is another story. Greedy, uncomfortable all around bad. Thanks

✅ Trip Verified | First my trip from Baltimore to Minneapolis was delayed by 2 hours. Then on my trip back from Minneapolis, I was happy to see that the flight was on time and we might even arrive a little early. I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. Once we are boarded in the plane, an announcement was made that there is extra flight traffic heading east and that the plane has to return to the terminal to refuel. Are you kidding me?! No one could figure out to refuel the plane while an entire load of passengers got off and another boarded? No they would rather just make a plane full of people wait for no reason other than they can’t get their act together.

✅ Trip Verified | Indianapolis to Las Vegas. Just pay the extra money for a better airline. I have never met more rude, inconsiderate, and mean spirited employees. My boyfriend, who had never flown before, was attempting to attach our tag to our bag when a Spirit employee ripped it out of his hand and yelled “NO”. So that should’ve been a sign. We were then talked down to by EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE we encountered. I work customer service, I know it can be draining, but I always treat people like I would want to be treated. None of these people should be working with the public. Not to mention the comically uncomfortable seats. The one in front of me was caked with chewed bubblegum. I’m 5’7” and my boyfriend is 6’3” and we had to sit sideways. The icing on the cake was one of our flight attendants basically yelling having a conversation with a coworker the entire flight. Takeoff was around midnight and we arrived at around 6:00 am, so middle of the night for the passengers. Delayed several times, moved gates several times.

✅ Trip Verified | Chicago to Los Angeles. This is the worst airline I have ever used. Delayed us for "weather" which I know to be rubbish since we drove from the city the plane came from. Then when our plane arrived they gave it to another flight that they moved to our gate and delayed us another 3 hours! Unfortunately I am still here but I will never use or recommend Sprit Airlines.

Not Verified | Minneapolis to New Orleans. Never Again!! This airline has no redundancy to replace flights due to weather, crew time outs, etc. Spirit is absolutely terrible at customer service and making a wrong right.

Not Verified | Orlando to Philadelphia. Arrived at the airport about 4 hours before my scheduled departure time. After paying an insane amount of money to checked in 3 pieces of luggage and a carry-on bag made our way to the gate and patiently waited across from the gate 34 area until about 1 hour before departure I realized there was a different flight number/destination posted at the gate screen. Went to the gate when was told the gate have been changed to gate 24, which is at a totally different terminal and without asking or looking around me and my family made our way to gate 24 as we were told (I take the blame for this, should have questioned the terminal change fact with the airline employee, but I didn't...this was one is on me). Arrived at the new gate about 20 minutes later just to be told the gate was 31 and not 24 as we were informed, but little did we know that to get back to the gate 31 area we needed to go through security again, which at that point was taking about 30 minutes. Long story short, we missed our flight, they offered to put us on the next flight 7 hours later (This flight was delayed by 1 hour and the departure gate was change twice). I am still don't know how I kept it together and didn't get myself arrested after this debacle. This was my first and last time I ever use this airline.

❎ Not Verified | Washington to Atlanta. Warning: it's cheap, you won't see how miserable until you face Spirit Airlines cancel their flight. I have been flying with Spirit Airlines to work every week for about a year. I noticed recently about Spirit Airline cancelled their flights every day in different states. So, the customers get stranded, and you pay a higher price with Spirit. Let's say, you plan to go to your vacation. Spirit Airlines ticket sells for $189.00 and other airline ticket prices $320.00. Then, Spirit cancels their flight and inform you about mechanical issue or weather on the destination within 3 hours the day you fly. What's happening when you are looking to purchased airline ticket to fly-out today or next day, the ticket price marked up 70% or 80%. Spirit will not move or put you on the next day for free. Just like you play monopoly, roll the dice with Spirit Airlines.

Not Verified | Myrtle Beach to Atlantic City. Spirit Airline has got to be one, if not, the worst airline. Cancel flights constantly. Let you sit at the airport then cancel your flights! Our daughter attends CCU and has had multiple flights canceled. We will never use this airline again. They are pathetic and never take accountability.

✅ Trip Verified | I take this route quite often and for some god knows what reason the flights are always delayed. There is always some issue with the flights and it is always blamed on the weather so that you can’t ask any further questions. Today (7/19), my flight to Baltimore via Detroit was cancelled, again stating weather. On my last trip, returning to Oakland from Baltimore via Detroit, on reaching Detroit, I was told my flight to Oakland had already left, leaving me stranded in Detroit for the night. They gave me a voucher for some discount on hotels but the customer service for that discount was awful. They put me on hold for 30 mins and then hung up on me. I was enraged. Even worse was for families on the same flight as me who were headed to Dallas via Detroit, were told the next flight available to them would be on Tuesday, it was Saturday night when this happened. That poor family with 3 kids were told they had to stay in Detroit for 3 days for no reason whatsoever. I’m tired of this airline and even though I have many points/miles gathered up in my account, I am willing to forsake them and never fly this Spirit Airlines again.

Not Verified | Dallas to Las Vegas. Worst customer service ever, they delay your flight and the customer service at the terminal is horrible. Our flight was originally leaving at 10:50 pm. Then got delayed until 11:50pm. We arrived at the airport at 9:50 and was at the correct terminal on time. Went to the counter to confirm with customer service that the flight was leaving on time, only to be shewed off and told that we were in the right terminal. We did not receive the correct information from staff, and later found out the the flight was then moved back to the correct time and the terminal was changed. We did not receive notification until the time the plane was taking off, and to make matters worse my check bag was on the flight. Customer service was more concern about getting off work than helping customers.
