Spirit Airlines

✅ Trip Verified | The trip went very well. I flew from Kansas City, MO to Orlando, FL. Before the flight, I checked hundreds of reviews to see just what it would be like. I was very skeptical because of all of the bad reviews, however once I got to the airport, I checked in very quickly, got through security just fine, and even boarded and left on time! The crew and staff were very nice both at the airport and once we boarded the flight. We had no problems with our carry on bags, which I was mostly worried about. The plane was very clean, and the ride was very smooth! Overall great experience and would definitely fly Spirit airlines again!

✅ Trip Verified | Baltimore to Chicago. This is my 3 rd this with Spirit in the last month. Each of the flights were delayed by at least 3-4 hours. You find out about the delay when you get at the airport. Will never fly Spirit again, completely unreliable and disrespectful of the customers time. They have everyone email address, I suggest that when they know about the delays, should be posted before the customers leave their houses. When someone gets to the airport a notification is too late, especially when you are forced to wait for extensive periods of time, relatively in all of their flights.

✅ Trip Verified | Chicago to New York. I had a very pleasant experience with Spirit. The staff was friendly, the flight was cheap and the plane was perfectly on time! There’s nothing fancy about flying spirit, but for a short flight it’s perfect.

✅ Trip Verified | Dallas to Santiago via Ft Lauderdale. First to find their exact prices on the luggage wasn't clear on their website, I saw some people shocked at the check-in assuming the weight was the same as other airlines. They nickle and dime for everything I was surprised the restroom was free, cramped, sitting I hardly had room to put my purse under the seat, the stroller for my lap baby wasn't available at my international destination so I had to hold my granddaughter while standing in a long line at custom, I'm a disabled vet so this was very painful. Spirit Airlines was the worse airline I have ever used and will never flight on it again, the price wasn't worth the nightmare.

✅ Trip Verified | Ft Lauderdale to Boston. If you're looking for a value of airfare these days, there's no such thing anymore. But most definitely, look elsewhere than Spirit. Spirit's motto is to nickle and dime you for everything. They've taken away the included carryon, which every other major airline offers. And their overweight checked baggage starts at 40lbs rather than 50lbs like every other major airlines. So you might as well fly the next cheapest airline because your out of pocket cost will most likely be the same, if not better, and you'll receive better service.

Not Verified | Flight was originally at 7am from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale. The airline promised us to leave no later than 10am when the delay notice came across the screen then with no notice they changed the flight to 1150, and not to arrive to ft Lauderdale until 240pm. Way to wake up at 3am for what - 12 hours later after wasting a whole day waiting. Never again. Staff was rude from the minute of walking into the airport and still cannot accommodate guests.

✅ Trip Verified | Flew Spirit Airlines from Las Vegas to Fort Lauderdale. Very uncomfortable! There is no leg room and hopefully you don’t have a long flight because it will be your worst one, they charge you for everything when the plane isn’t worth it. They don’t even give complimentary snacks or drinks. Never again!

Not Verified | Rudest staff and most difficult time ever. We booked Spirit knowing they were a budget airline. We didn’t want or need any extra accommodations, we thought. But even asking for water for my three and four year old was $3 and you can’t pay cash. Some poor man had to ask other people on the flight to pay for him something to drink because he only had cash. When we showed up right on time for our flight, they informed us the plane had left early even though on their system, we were clearly there and checked in. They made us wait in a freezing airport with two small kids, for 9 hours. All while looking at the delta flight across from us all snuggled up with free blankets and pillows while they waited. It was miserable. When we finally arrived to where we were going, after being awake for 24 hours, nobody was at the lost and early luggage stand for over an hour. We waited and called everywhere possible. All the other airlines had people at their stands except ours. We finally saw one woman with Spirit come down. We asked her if she could help. She mumbled at us, and said “I’m not doing that. There’s someone else who will but he’s busy right now. You see there? He’ll come down there just like I did, bye.” And stormed off. All I wanted was my children’s car seats so we could go home.

✅ Trip Verified | Flight was delayed over 2 and half hours so me and my wife sat for 4 hours at the airport. Then we make it to Fort Lauderdale and take our luggage to their luggage customer service where the lady say gate E-9 just like our ticket says, we wait on the flight at that gate and we find out about 10 minutes before our flight leaves that it has been moved to a new gate. We run to the new gate only to see it is closed. Talk to customer service and they basically say, sorry not sorry, it is your responsibility to make sure you are at the correct gate. After I heard this the same airline announce gate changes for 4 of their other flights. Talked to a supervisor, she said there was nothing we can do. In all we have waited about 16 hours, worst trip ever.

✅ Trip Verified | Atlanta to Boston. I bought the tickets on just fly. So that was easy. They adviced me to check bags online for lower rates than at the airport. The email I got from spirit only had. Check In option. So instead of clicking that I manually went online to their website and check bags. Their website kept saying wrong email address. Or wrong confirmation code. This was 7pm. My flight was at 11 the next day. I got frustrated after trying 9 times. I gave up went to that email and clicked check in. I ended up paying double the fees at the airport. I thought I would take it up with customer service once I landed. Oh well you can forget about that there was a guy would not speak English he was not understanding at all what I was trying to say I asked for someone who spoke English, frustrated again that he was not clear on what my issue was. He kept saying sorry for getting charged twice! When a supervisor came on, she interrogated me - How did you put in the code? I typed it. What did you put in as cnfm code? I said it her memorized! Are you sure you didn’t write 1 instead if i ?? Ma’am I promise you I can read and write. I’m doing it right now and it seems to be working just fine. Couldn’t be possible that it wasn’t working last night and it’s working now? A glitch perhaps? Just because it’s working now does not prove that it acted up last night. Her final comment was if we find out that the site was having some issues we’ll contact you. That was it! Already the “number 1 and i“ comment had put such bad taste in my mouth and all I was asking for is to help me out with my return baggage since I’d paid double already.
