Easy to book and to get check in and get on and off.
It seems as though the provisions are even less. Although SWA used to be an economy Airline, that isn't really the case anymore. I paid over $700. for a round trip to Denver and I could have flown just about any airline for the price. The drinks are now in a 6-ounce cup and with ice I'm sure a can would fill more than 2 cups. However, I am very proud of SWA for using paper rather than continuing to contribute to the millions of plastic cups being used each day. I've thought of this fr many years and am so glad to see it come to fruition, if not by only SWA so far.
Service was great, boarding and exiting went smoothly, and the flight was very pleasant.
Everything worked well. Crew was as entertaining as is possible on a plane flight. Southwest still has good legroom:
Crew was great - friendly and helpful with boarding - letting folks know where overhead space was available thus getting us out of the gate on time.
What’s best is they have free 2 check in bags. Unlike budget airlines that knocks you off with fees just for you hand carried bags
Chairs are not reclinable. Not ear phones for sale. Seats should be assigned to avoid confrontations. Flight attendants were AMAZING.
This was a train wreck with the schedule as soon as the delay was announced. The delay originally put us back by 40 minutes from a start time of 10:10AM, then later was revised to be only 27 minutes late. We began boarding only a few minutes late. I don't know what happened but we then left the gate over 45 minutes past our original start time of 10:10. Pilots did a great job of making up time (thank you for that), however upon arrival into the Dallas area, we circled several times, as there was a plane on the runway with mechanical problems, and didn't land and have the door opened until 1:46PM local time. I dashed to my connecting gate, fortunately only 4 gates away, and got there at 1:50PM local time. There were still people in line to board the jet way. The gate attendant made eye contact with me, left the check and station and promptly ushered the remaining people down the jet way, then returned to say the gate was closed and we were denied boarding. She then said I was already re-booked, not even knowing who I was. I did not receive notification of rebooking until 1:58 PM. At the desk we were then told that it was not their fault that our originating flight was late due to the stranded plane, and that the only compensation we could be offered was to be re-booked. I'm sorry, but at Love Field the ONLY airline there is Southwest, so yes, they ARE responsible for this! Also, choosig to deny me boarding even though I was in the queue 10 minutes prior to takeoff was an exceptional instance of very poor customer service. While I may not have many choices of airlines with flights originating from Albuquerque, Southwest is now last on my list!
Third straight Southwest flight that has been delayed. I'll be choosing a different airline from here on out.
Boarding was quick and simple However when I was at my seat there was a child kicking my me from behind which made me uncomfortable but besides that the flight was smooth
My encounter with the entertainment services provided on board was moderate; the functionality of the Wi-Fi connection was either sluggish or nonoperational, while the display screens were antiquated and suffered from poor visibility. On the positive side, the cabin exuded a sense of expansiveness, and the crew exhibited amiable and accommodating behavior throughout the journey.
They delayed our flight by 45 minutes and then re-updated the departure time back to normal schedule with no notification, email, or app update causing probably 40 people to miss the flight as they left without us.
terrible. Because I felt very unwell during the flight. How do they leave a woman alone in the middle of 2 men? an obese man who was falling on top of me.
The walk from baggage claim to the taxi is very difficult for older people I will never fly into JFK again. It is physically challenging
We were told that our flight would be delayed for 90+ minutes because of weather, so we went to get something to eat only to have them randomly start boarding 15 minutes after the announcement, with no warning.
Going through JFK’s security is a mess. The TSA security said no shoes on the bins. So, we place our shoes in the belt and they came out all over the belt. Boarding was delayed and Flight as well.
Confusing. Delay updates were out of whack At one point it said my flight was 25 hours. Three gate changes and two delays only to change back to original departure time. Gate announcer and on board flight attendant (Alejandro) making the announcements was impossible to understand due to accent and speed of speech. After beverage service the rear flight attendants sat back there on their phones. No refills no checking in, one sweep through for trash collection. Very impersonal. Bring back Coke products
Delayed departure. Delayed after landing pulling into gate. Delay due to sky bridge malfunction
Business class is great. New airplane, very comfortable, better than some of the major airlines I am used to
great flight. Pilot was communicative, flight attendants were excellent. Really nice experience except my tv didn’t work.
boarding was uneventful. Snack was pathetic. A tiny fruit bar. Entertainment was limited to just select movies on your own tablet or phone. No live TV. I recently flew Jetblue and they had unlimited snacks and live satellite TV the entire flight. My seat was an exit seat, 20A. It was super uncomfortable. It felt cramped and the middle seat was taken up by a large woman who pushed into my shoulder and arm. Horrible flight.
Plane still had screens for watching movies. Good selection too.
Flight crew was amazing! I don't like that the Polaris seats are side-by-side.
Everything was awful Flight attendant was condescending, rude and not helpful at all. Small outdated plane. No service, uncomfortable seats. Flight attendant was really the worst. He used hand gestures to communicate instead of words and whenever he used words he was condescending.
They need to improve their boarding process. Group 1 and/or paying first class passengers shouldn't be in the middle of boarding process
The plane was so gross and dirty. Literally saw dust layering and flowing out the grey vents. Dust was all over the air vent knobs to the point where I took my sani wipe and cleaned them down so at least it wasn't blowing my my face. Also, I upgraded and paid for Wifi and it's always so spotty. I get we are in the air, but don't charge for it if it's not going to work. I expect so much more from United. They really are giving up.
Short flying. The seats do not recline at all and very uncomfortable.
Flight was on time, crew were excellent. For some reason our originally selected seats were changed. We had to re-choose our seats when we checked in online and options were limited. One of our two checked bags we placed on the wrong carousel. It was only be shear luck that I saw it. That cost us 20 minutes of wasted time. So much for the “priority” tags. They are meaningless, and have been ever since they were implemented. I wish you would do the save some money and stop using them.
No access to the Wi-Fi, noisy group of people made it difficult for me to hear through my earbuds. Snacks and drinks - limited service when your seat is at the back of the plane - people up front are always served first and the back gets whatever is left. Not pleased.
The flight attendant was very kind and offered my son a snack for free.
The flight was as good as it gets when flying. On time departure and arrival plus no lost luggage.
Flight was cancelled as I was in line for security. Next available flight got me to my destination 24 hrs later than the first. No refunds offered, just credit toward another flight. I booked with delta, got to my destination only 2 hrs behind my original flight schedule. Won’t be using American again.
Checked in the minute I was allowed and still wound up in group 8 for boarding.
great experience. minimal lines at BWI. at DFW they got a long haul 787 boarded in 30 minutes
These are the things that AA did right on this flight:1 Smooth Boarding Process, 2 Departed on time, 3 Arrived early at destination 4, Friendly and courteous staff. Great job AA!
More room. International flight - by the time you put your purse and shoes under the seat in front of you, add in the pillow and blanket they give you- makes for tight fit.
Overall good. Tight connection in DFW because of gate unavailability upon landing.
Excellent customer service at check in at Austin flight to DFW and excellent customer service from Karren in terminal B at DFW.
The flight attendants were talking the entire time on the back and I couldn’t even take a nap. Super annoying
Had to wait a long time for wheelchair in Dallas
Seamless boarding process, flight was early, crew and passengers nice. Crew was professional as well. Seats are super thing but reasonably comfortable for a 2-3 hrs flight. No on board entertainment, except maybe for paid internet. No water, no snacks. I feel all airlines should offer free water. I didn’t care paying for it, however water is free everywhere in the US and it almost like a basic human right in a civilized society.
The flight landed with a delay and we had to wait almost an hour to be off boarded. So typical of spirit.
I fly almost weekly & Spirit is well worth it & Hands-down, my favorite! Out of all the airlines I fly, I often find that spirit has the cleanest planes & the most well taken care of, typically, I will look up the aircraft registration and often the planes are less than seven years old. Two weeks ago I flew on a Jet that was less than a month old. The crew are often times the most friendly in the air. For this particular flight, I had a very stressful day and was not anticipating a very wonderful flight due to the passing hurricane. We had a half hour delay once boarded due to the weather and changing flight patterns, however, as soon as we turned for the runway, the pilot battling a strong crosswind quickly throttled up and in matter of moments, we had the most peaceful flight. I think I’ve ever taken! And we were still 6 minutes early!!! The personality of the crew was wonderful, typically, for this route the passengers are a little less than desirable but they are professional & very accommodating. Because of the best prices spirit often gets jabbed, but the reality is why pay for anything you don’t need. And you certainly are not sacrificing service!
We had a 40 mins delay, but the pilot was good about keeping up informed. No food/snacks or drinks when u in the air-they have to be purchased. They charge for every single thing .
particularly nothing to like plane just turned to be a hmm flying bus, yet in buses from another country at least drink and snack are free ... and seat could be just a bit more ..adjustable? ok ok i know i am asking for too much but ..dreaming is not forbidden yet
Crew was Awesome, especially flight attendant Blake from Fort Lauderdale! Passengers onboard were unfortunately unruly & disrespectful.
It would’ve been better if you didn’t cancel my flight and I couldn’t find another flight within 200 miles so I had to go down to Baltimore to get on a flight.
Would have liked there to be a flight crew available so we could fly. None available so they delayed the departure by 10 hour!
Once again, my flight was delayed. I believe it’s the third time I had a delayed flight with spirit airlines… Very unpleasant.
The flight kept getting delayed until it ws finally cancelled due to weather. While the airline was able to get me another flight, it was not for two days, which meant that I had to waste two days of vacation. On top of that, the airline refused to provide any form of compensation for my inconvenience.
