We had a nice flight. Boarding was easy, our seats were comfortable and the on board service was pleasant.

10.0 ExcellentJohn, Nov 2024OAK - LAS
Read more Southwest reviews

We had a nice flight. Boarding was easy, our seats were comfortable and the on board service was pleasant.

Service was great, boarding and exiting went smoothly, and the flight was very pleasant.

I like that it was on time and the staff was friendly.

No space for our carryon and needed to check at plane before boarding !

Flight was ok. Boarding wasn’t fun. Flights were delayed by 12 minutes on each leg.

The flight was semi-full with enough space to spread out. Wonderful, smooth, and quick flight.

We boarded the flight and set two and a half hours on the jetway. Would have been better if they had not boarded us at all. Plane was hot and it was limited ability to access the restrooms or get a drink of water. Very unpleasant experience

The flight was great. We were not offered any beverages though. And there was no real turbulence, so not sure why.

I liked the boarding process with our loading group and numbers. I disliked that I couldn't guarantee our seats together. I didn't like that the Internet costs $8/ flight, but did love all the inflight options available through their app. I disliked no charging station at my seat for a 3+ hour flight.

Everything about our flight was good except for the boarding experience in Mexico. From checking in to boarding was a disaster for us even though our seats wasn't bad.

The app is very bugy, did not work well. Other than that it was ok.

The flight was delayed an hour and it was not disclosed to the passengers until it was time to board. There was no in-flight WiFI available and such poor communication overall. Unfortunate that I was going to miss my connecting flight with poor communication on alternatives.

Broke the wheels of my luggage. Should be more gentle with other peoples belongings. Very upset about needing a new suitcase before Christmas.

orgiginal scheduled flight ( 2.5 hours connection) was cancelled, was given option to rebook between a 1-hour connection or a next day flight. Missed connection flight, and decided to book last minute with an other airline.

Short flight. Delayed because of ??. Had a water served . Staff was nice.

Crew members were helpful and responsive. However, the toilet in the only main cabin bathroom didn’t work properly.

I was able to upgrade easily on the way home to first class. No problems with luggage. Efficient time management getting us to our destination on time

Upgrading my seat online was a breeze, boarding was easy, and we had such great tail winds that we ended up getting in 20 minutes earlier than planned.

Flight was delayed because overhead bin didn’t close. The most insanely stupid thing I’ve ever heard.

Interline connection was terrible. Boarding pass from American didn’t work even though it was valid. Gate agent not present to straighten out the mess until the next to the last boarding group was called.

It was terrible, if they ran flights on time it would make a big difference.

Delta seems to be improving in many areas, except they are super bad with the food available. Bring back normal food service on long flights.

I actually received a notification from kayak on email but not one by text from Delta when my departure gait changed and I almost missed my flight

New boarding doesn't make sense. Filling front first is slow.

Delta flight was great from the check in all the way to arrival. However, I had a very bad experience. I requested a wheelchair and the wheelchair employee that went to pick me up from the plane in Boston to bring me to the baggage claims told me I have to pay him. I was under the impression that it was a free service and I usually give tips but the person forced me to pay and since I said no because I was upset with his demand when my daughter walked in to pick me up he demanded payment from my daughter who paid him thinking maybe now it is a charged service.

Horrible. Grateful to be alive but spent 13 hours at airport only to return back to my familys house and flight changed to next day. They tried to fix a part on plane, had no back up plane and after 10 hours , reattempted the flight and it STILL wasn't fixed. We got a meal voucher and rescheduled flight but there should be some other compensation for the 15 hours spent in airport

5 hour delay. They blamed the weather but it was the computer issues they had been dealing with for days.

My seat was changed at the last minute and I was moved to the last row, right next to the bathroom despite selecting my seat well in advance. I was also made to check my carry on due to space but when I got on the plane there was significant empty overhead space. Picking up my carry on from the luggage carousel added time to my trip which had already been extended due to delay.

There was plenty of overhead room but half of the passengers were told they had to check their carryon bags. My partner and I checked in as early as possible and our seats were split across the aisle.

Flew first class so everything was great. But maybe because the flights were red eye, no meals were served, just chips. I flew Alaska Air 1st class at 9PM (2 hour flight) and they served beef short rib sliders!

I’ve now flown Spirit a few times and while the general perception of Spirit I feel is poor, I’ve had a great experience each time. They do charge extra for everything but you should know that going in

Horrible. Take off was delayed by an hour. They were letting people board d the plane right before takeoff. I was delayed an hour when I arrived and late for my meeting. Spirit is NEVER on time.

The flight landed with a delay and we had to wait almost an hour to be off boarded. So typical of spirit.

The gate employees and the flight crew were friendly and professional. Afterboarding we waited 20 minutes for another flight; a complimentary beverage would have ben appreciated for the inconvenience.

Doubt that you care, the flight from OAK to Las Vegas took longer on the runway when we arrived. The flight attendants & pilot announced that they knew a lot of us were getting on a connection to Dallas & that it was waiting for us. Lied. Ended up having to take another layover & it’s added way more time to my flights. The ticketing staff at the gates were extremely rude. I don’t think I ever want to fly Spirit again.

Spirit airlines flight delays caused me to miss my connecting flight. I was rebooked in a different flight that routed through Texas. The flight from LAS to Houston was miserable, the person seated next to me was visibly intoxicated, and was served more alcohol in the plane. Upon arrival in Houston nothing was open, even TSA. I had to spend 6 hours just waiting in the airport. All in all, I arrived home a full 12 hours after my originally planned travel which out my family in a bad position. Do better!!!

You get what you pay for, but those tickets weren't cheap, so I expected better, but Spirit is just one of those airlines.

Spirit is very bare bones travel. You definitely get what you pay for. About as comfortable as riding a school bus. The tray table is a tiny little shelf that barely fits a phone, and there is not even a seat pocket to hold anything securely. They have an open bungee cord configuration, that phones fall out of. There are no drinks or snacks, unless you purchase them. Same for wifi, although it wasn’t even available for purchase on our outgoing flight. But the crew was friendly, and the plane was clean, although we did not check the onboard restroom. Basically, if you are looking for a very inexpensive flight to a nearby location, and you don’t care if wifi is available, it works. Our flight was around 90 minutes—Oakland to Las Vegas—so it was not horrible. I would never even consider flying cross country in it. That would be miserable. But for a quick trip of under two hours, it was worth the price.

Cancelled the return flight moments before boarding, horrible customer service in assisting with any rebooking. Never again will I fly Spirit.

This was one of the smoothest flights in 37 years of flying, excellent pilots! Polite and caring staff. Nice clean and new plane 10/10
