it was great! Boarded on-time, reasonable leg room, pleasant staff, decent food. The only thing is we were directed to Terminal 2 when the gate was actually in Terminal 1. Smooth ride. Landed early. Got off plane easily and quickly.

it was great! Boarded on-time, reasonable leg room, pleasant staff, decent food. The only thing is we were directed to Terminal 2 when the gate was actually in Terminal 1. Smooth ride. Landed early. Got off plane easily and quickly.

I like that they served a mail, I’m not sure about the in-flight entertainment. I didn’t really check. staff helped me with my luggage. Smooth boarding smooth takeoff smooth flight

Just a minor inconvinient with weather delay! but not Copa's fault

So many hours of flying without salty food is a shame and the fact that they want to sell it to you seems like a rip-off

It's the first time I couldn't check in online because they told me I had to call because there was a problem. Despite having called twice, I had to check in at the airport

This airline makes you check in in one terminal and then you have to walk to the other terminal. Its messed up

Food was not good, no options for vegetarian or gluten free

The seats had plenty of leg room and the staff were very nice.

Captain and Crew were excellent. The Boeing 737-800 was showing its age. In flight entertainment system was sluggish and my Business Class seat on the outbound flight had some mechanical issues. Only real problem was the location of the Gate in Panama PTY. It was a 40 minute hike from Security to the Gate. There should have been some sort of warning about the distance.

Very good, despite we had a delay because of some problems at the airport.

Kiwi is the worst, I couldn’t flight for work, Kiwi kept 100% of my money (they didn’t even return the taxes) I will not buy with kiwi again

Old planes rude workers no tvs seats don’t go back and overpriced

I expected the plane to be as the one I took from manaos to Bogota and unfortunately it wasn’t as nice, the sits didn’t recline and there was not onboard entertainment.

i was charged $140.00usd for my backpack the only luggage i had was my backpack

GOL made the flight experience a true delight. Everything was smooth, from the check in process, to the disembarking moment.

The inflight entertainment did not work on a 6 hour flight The cel phone chargers did not work There was a 45 minute wait for the luggage to get off the plane.

There was no food or drink service, couldn’t even get a glass of water for free. It was a long and expensive flight to not offer food or beverage on the plane.

My experience was amazing! They helped my elderly mother board on early through a wheelchair and were accommodating to have us sit together since our seats were in different locations. When landing at the airport in GUA they were very helpful with full of hospitality.

They could offer free food and drink like other international flights.

I flew with my service dog unfortunately they didn’t allow it to flight on the canine, but ok, the only problem was that when I arrived to Quito it took 1 hour to deliver my dog, they were supposed to deliver it the moment we get off the airplane.

Easy! As long as you don’t mind no frills, our flight was enjoyable and on time

Let put it this way ,” I will do everything in my power NOT to flight with Spirit Airlines again!!!!!!! Thank You

There was no water offered to passengers during a four hour flight, five hours on the plane. There is no entertainment on board. The crew interrupt everyone often to sell credit cards and reward packages. Other than that, pretty typical flight. You get what you pay for.

It was terrible I want a free flight we were delayed for 6 hours and I was freezing in the airport

Delayed, delayed, delayed, missed connection. They rebooked me 2 days after but only payed for 1 night at hotel…

We never made it, see previous reviews. Spirit Airlines employees lack compassion and empathy. No one showed any concern or care for us as customers. When we missed our connecting flight due to Spirit scheduling issues, no one batted an eye or tried to help. The response was to book us on another flight a full 24 hours later. We arrived to our gate and the plane was still there and boarding had not yet been completed. We easily could have been allowed to board had the two flight crews communicated that there were passengers coming off a delayed flight. I understand delays happen and are unpredictable, what I'm disappointed in is the way my partner and I were treated during that whole process. Spirit should be ashamed to treat their customers this way. There's a reason the reputation with this airline is what it is and they aren't doing anything to prove otherwise.

They stuck us with multiple extra fees. I will never fly spirit again

I would like more Details about the bags or think s like guitars

Crew was nice, explained emergency protocol very well. Flight took off and arrived on time. Pilot explained the small delay that occurred with docking and providing updates. I would definitely fly spirit again.

Spirit canceled the flight in March and never notified me!
