"get home 24 hours later then scheduled"
John Marron (United States)
Not Verified | Sun Country left me hanging for the second time in a year and a half. As a airline transportation corporation they do not care about you and me. They will always have travelers to fill the seats. At the end of the day, sun country will get theirs, and that's all that matters. I did get home 24 hours later then scheduled. Let's not forget about the family of five that are so special that kept us at the gate for another hour and a half to board the plan through customs. Best part of this flight, Uber was there on time to get me home.

"I am so very grateful"
Jodi Fanfulik (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | My daughter and I did a landline/air the day before our cruise. We left Fargo, ND on the landline bus which was to drop us off at MSP for our 3:15 pm departure flight. The bus broke down half way to MSP, which made us miss our flight. I do not remember the names of the two ladies I spoke with but they were both amazing and made a stressful situation less stressful. I was given two options. They offered us a hotel and food vouchers for the night we would have to stay in Minneapolis and could get us on a flight the next morning out of MSP at 0700 and land in Orlando at 11:12 AM. 2Once we arrived at MSP on 06AUG2023 they would check with other airlines to see if there were 2 available seats flying to MCO that evening and Sun Country would pay for those tickets. We were flying to Orlando for a cruise on 07AUG2023, and were scheduled to check in to the ship at 12;00 noon. Beings we did not know when we would arrive at the airport we took option #1. There was no extra fee and my daughter and I were provided transportation (from airport to hotel and back to airport the next AM) that Sun Country provided (Hilton) and we were given meal vouchers. I cannot say enough good about the wonderful assistance I was provided, they worked very hard to get us to Orlando so we could board our cruise. I am so very grateful! Thank you.

"I had absolutely no issues"
M James (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | My flight from North Carolina to anchorage Alaska: after reading 9 pages of bad reviews all from June and July of this year with the exception of 2 good/alright reviews to say I was a little worried was an understatement. As you read your reviews you will see a lot of terrible customer service and cancelled flights (which what I most nervous about especially flying with a 3 and 6 year old.) Our first flight was from North Carolina to Minneapolis was on time. The customer service at the gate and ticketing counter was very friendly..it was the same person at both! No snacks are offered but it was a shorter flight at around 2 hours and 45 mins. But we did get a beverage! There were charging ports located at the bottom of the seat in front of you. Mine worked my husbands did not but no big deal! The flight attendants were not overly nice. But more acted like they have had worked so much and we’re tired but they weren’t rude. Our flight got in on time and out of Minneapolis our flight left on time to Alaska. This flight from Minneapolis to Alaska was a bit longer at 5 hours and 48 minutes. The airline did not provide any sort of snack but did give us 2 drinks throughout! I do have to mention you can buy snacks from them. From my experience this is a very budget friendly airline. There is no inflight wifi to purchase and no screens on the back of the seats but with tickets being much less and total flying time less it’s a good airline to use! Thus far I have had no problems and want to thank Sun Country for a good experience flying to Alaska! Now our return flight from Anchorage to North Carolina. The flights were about the same no delays and a great flight staff from anchorage to Minneapolis! Overall I had absolutely no issues flying with Sun Country and as a “budget” airline they completely meet expectations!

"Don't make the same mistake I did"
Dale Skrien (United States)
Not Verified | Don't ever make your rental car reservation with your plane reservation from Sun Country! Instead, make your car reservation directly with the car company. I made the mistake of reserving my rental car as part of my Sun Country flight reservation. As a result I ended up having to pay for 2 rental cars even though I used only one, costing me an extra $600. Here's what happened. I flew to my destination and went to the rental car counter (Budget), but the line was 25 people long and after waiting an hour, the line advanced only 4 people. At this rate, it was going to take another 4-5 hours before I got my car. I had a meeting I needed to attend in 2 hours, so I decided to cancel my reservation with Budget and instead reserve a car with a different car company. But Budget wouldn't refund me my money because Sun Country had not yet given the money to Budget, and Sun Country would not refund me my money because they said you have to cancel at least 2 days in advance! So I lost the money I gave Sun Country for the car rental. Don't make the same mistake I did!

"choosing not the fly with them again"
O Oscar (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | I previously flew with Sun Country for a nonstop to Minnesota, no problems whatsoever, back in 2021. This time around, I am choosing not the fly with them again. Although the flights are reasonable (that’s what you would think), you make up for that in other fees. If you’re a solo traveler with no carry-on on checked luggage needed, you may have no issues. But if that is not the case I’d advise paying just a bit more for another airline. Included with the flight ticket is one personal item, a carry on or checked bag is $45, and every other bag is $35 after the first. Keep in minds that if this a round trip that’s $90 both ways. In addition, they will have you pay extra for seating near your group or other travel persons, and if you can’t afford that cost starting at around $9 extra per seat, you will be seated at random. Does not matter if you purchased the tickets together, they do not observe that, whereas other flights will. Even with age, doesn’t matter how the child they will split you up and you would have to take your chances requesting seats together once you get to the airport. Another little hiccup is that they don’t have an assigned gate when you check in early for tickets, and you have to go to the flight board to check that, this may not be an inconvenience for most, but for me I just didn’t take that too well, when other airlines provide you a gate , more often than not when you do early check in 24 hours within departure. Needless to say, I should have paid the extra $40 per flight (with personal item and carry on included) instead of choosing this cheaper flight, because I more than made up for it in the long run. Won’t be flying anymore, but thank you for getting to my destinations safely.

"not worth the stress"
Ursula Redon (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | It's not worth it! Sun Country Airlines canceled my flight on the same day, with less than 12 hours prior departure. It was the last one from that airline that day so I had to purchase another flight with a different company. I ended up paying 3 times more. They reimbursed the canceled flight but they refuse to reimbursed the one I had to purchase because of their cancellation, even though my lawyer sent them a letter. So the trip ended up being more expensive that if I had chose another airline on the first place. I am never booking with Sun Country Airlines again, it's not worth the stress and inconvenience.

"will not fly your airline again"
Manny Habib (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Purchased 4 tickets online. Wife and myself, one child and her friend. While boarding my wife and myself were ahead of our two kids, we passed the ticket counter with our carryon's and proceeded to our seats. I get a text from my kid saying they stopped them from boarding because they had to pay for their carryon. Sun country charged them $50 per bag on the spot. On the return the kids went solo as my wife and I stayed three extra days. The girls were stopped again and charged $60 per bag. On my return with my wife no one stopped us and we walked in with our carryon's. Why were the un accompanied kids charged for their carryon's? Sun country, I will not fly your airline again and will not recommend it to anyone either.

"not been informed of anything"
Bryan Ramirez (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | First our flight was delayed, then after sending us up and flying for an hour they sent us back because apparently our plane needed scheduled maintenancey. After returning to Dallas we waiting in the runway for hours. Our flight was scheduled to arrive in Cancun at about 12:50. It is 1pm as I type this, we have not been informed of anything, have not moved are just smelling air plane fumes, and have had our vacation start off terribly. I thought that it would be a cheap alternative to American Airlines but I think paying that extra for less delays will be worth it. Save yourself some time and fly another airline if you’re going to Cancun from Dallas.

"a very poor showing on Sun Country's part"
Dave Brisebois (United States)
Not Verified | The worst plane maintenance available, on a brand new jet they alternately froze us then cooked us at least 4 times in a 3 and a half hour trip and gave the excuse that "it is a brand new plane" so we are still working out the details. Really? Do you think maybe they could figure it out before putting it into service? Do they think the same way about maybe the landing gear as well? Or the bolts that hold the seats down? Don't even ask what is going on with the temperature because the "experienced" flight attendants are not going to lower themselves to taking care of the problem, they just say they have notified the captain about the issue and they will glare at you if you ask more than once. On the next flight my air controls didn't work at all but I still had a cold blast of air coming down my neck for 3.5 hours and again no sign of help even after I asked what's going on with the air flow. I had to hide in the forward rest room and block the air vent in there to get respite. Very uncomfortable. This last trip (or non trip) was the straw that broke the camels back. I arrived as I usually do early by at least 1.5 hours and waited at gate 16 even though the marquee read 'FRONTIER AIRLINES TO ORLANDO FLIGHT 1194 TIME: 8:42 STATUS: NOW AT 9:02' which meant to me that my flight was probably delayed, so when I inquired I was told my flight had boarded and they gave my seat away even though no effort was made to call my name which is easy to do. I have a very distinctive name. By then 4, count 'em, 4 agents were busy making sure the plane was full and couldn't accommodate me. Even though I later found out they still had one seat available when my partner inquired with the home office. On top of that they tore up my boarding pass so I couldn't show it to bolster my complaint. I also turned in a lost purse during my wait time to gate 15 so that would prove even more I was there at the gate and ready as was another fella who was also denied boarding. I can't tell you how much arguing ensued when all this came down. If the agents had put in half as much effort into making this right as they did arguing and accusing me of being absent, I would be at my cardiologists office on Tuesday morning in Chaska, Minnesota as I was supposed to be. As it stands they re-booked me for 6-21-23 and my ticket has been messed up price wise now and I can't figure out how a round trip on your airline is $782.91 when it should be no more than $300 to $400 or so, no checked bags, just one carry on and one free one. I will call at 7 a.m. on Tuesday the 20th and attempt to get some satisfaction out of the front office. All in all a very poor showing on Sun Country's part and to boot a lot of accusations and arguing on the agents part, when they still had my seat available. The gal on the phone at your office says there were no notes about this transgression on the logs, but hopefully by tomorrow something will break. I really miss the red headed fella who was so personable and professional every time I flew out of San Diego, I hope he does well in Denver. Disappointed in San Diego.

"I recommend this airline"
I Bonilla (United States)
Not Verified | Amazing airline. But some things to work on. The carry on bag size is too small and the price to buy an over head luggage is to expensive. It’s a perfectly fine airline except for that. I recommend this airline if you are going for no longer than 3 days. If not I recommend Delta, They had amazing service and that experience was amazing
