We had a nice flight. Boarding was easy, our seats were comfortable and the on board service was pleasant.
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.
Overall good. Good communication from the captain on delay, cozy seats, nice staff, and a perfect landing.
i liked that all seats had usb ports and a plug
Short flight so really no interaction with crew and there was no food. It was on time and comfortable. Liked the plugs in seat in front!
Frontier airlines would have been better than this AA commuter flight.
Flight was delayed but it worked out fine. A woman was yelling and singing loudly throughout the flight. Unpleasant for everyone around
Assigned flight was ok but I got too late to my destination
Your seats are so close I’m practically sitting in people’s laps and the micro thin mats on the chairs to reduce weight are atrocious in comfort
First class stewards have an ego problem and treat travelers unkind! Will never use your airlines again…
Wasn’t crazy about the long walk out to the plane and having to show our boarding pass twice. Everything else was just fine!
I had never flown Alaska before. Years ago I flew constantly. Flying these days is not a glamorous experience. It’s not that easy to get inexpensive direct flights either. Not glamorous but reasonably priced and comfortable. I appreciated the inflight WiFi (for messaging only but that’s ok, I like to read on flights). I didn’t check the inflight entertainment, see above. I was lucky on the AUS => SFO flight—they needed volunteers to check bags at the gate. That bumped me up a level in status so they let me move to an empty exit row. The return flight I was assigned a seat in one. Very nice. As pleasant a trip as possible these days.
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
Luggage delayed and 6 days later I still don't have it.
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
In thirty years of traveling, mostly with Delta, this was the worst day ever.
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!
They were an hour late and they didn’t have my wheelchair for me
Flight was ok with exception of the multiple delays. As with all Spirit flights, the sights are extremely uncomfortable and lack leg space. However, the price savings is the plus.
Okay for the most part but Good boarding and on time
Staying with Dallas 4 hour stay ...it's was torture sorry. .. about to say that
Quick flight. But crew was late so boarding was delayed. No food or entertainment as flight was an hour so no possible eating there…flight was also delayed but I think that was the fault of SAN airport not spirit…
Better overall experience from my first flight with Spirit several years ago. Efficient boarding (albeit I arrived after all rows were called) and flight actually left earlier than planned. I am still baffled by being charged for everything, even a non-alcoholic beverage. And there is definitely less seat room which makes a flight that’s more than 2 hours really uncomfortable.
The plane crew made the decision to leave a LARGE group of us passengers who were stuck literally at the gate next to the Las Vegas flight & trying to get off. We were lied to & told the Vegas to Dallas plane was going to wait for us. I’m having to fly the whole night to my destination now because of this
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!!!
I liked the airfare price. Seats are not very comfortable. But I would fly again with Spirit for the price.
Nothing. Will never ever travel on Spirit or Frontier. Both of them Garbage Airlines.
Stop changing gates at sfo. When you are elderly going back for it’s not fun.
We understand and comply with Frontier’s bag sizes. We’ve had some problems in past while having to await other passengers who do not understand the baggage restrictions or have not prepaid and that is usually our biggest concern (others delaying us) with flying Frontier. Flying OUT of ONT, however, has always been a great experience. I’ve also noted even on delayed Frontier flights very knowledgeable pilots who manage expectations well.
There was no easy way to check in. I don't want to install an app to checkin. I will use alaska from now on because they have a web check in method that is easy.
The crew was ghetto lol I felt like I was on an inner city field trip
Horrible! The short distance flight ended up taking 5 hrs! There was a 3 hr delay for the flight to take off and there was a 70 min wait on the tarmac for some bogus reason that the pilot said the gate he was supposed to board was taken up. After a 30 min wait he said the plane that was supposed to push out of the gate called a medical emergency and 40 min later he ended up boarding another gate. For the initial 3 hr delay there was no information/alert about the gate or delay in the app or the boards up until the boarding time and even beyond! Had to walk all the way to the end of the terminal to find the frontier staff to ask what was going on. Avoid this airline at all costs! If you have carryon bags or checked bags , their prices come equivalent to the prices of more reliable airlines. They are the worst in timeliness at 60% (reported as delayed) this year (check the data) by a high margin even compared to the second worst airline. If you are ok with having a miserable flight experience with the odds close to flip of a coin, feel free to try them. If you value your time , money and flying experience, stay away.
Allowed me to chose my seat without extra charge (I purchased full-price ticket) and boarding was in group1. Didn't even serve water.
I went to the Frontier counter in San Jose at 1030am or so on Sunday 10/13/24 to see if I could get an earlier flight to San Diego in lieu of my reserved 630pm flight. One thing led to another, and I was able to obtain an open seat for about $ 56. on the earlier flight. Fine. Then the agent asked if I "was checking a bag". Not knowing that carry-ons cost extra per Frontier policy, I thought that she meant a regular checked bag. Therefore, I said no. Once I got to the gate, the same gate agent who sold me a ticket told me that I had to pay $99 for a carry-on, and that all bags were extra on Frontier. Having never flown on Frontier, I was not aware of this. Part of the issue was that she was not a native English speaker, so there was a miscommunication as to what "bag" meant. I would have preferred for her to have clearly let me know at the front counter that any bag including a carry-on cost $99. It would have had the same outcome, as I had to take my carry-on. But it got hectic at the last minute at the gate itself. The baggage policy should have mentioned "including carry-ons" when we first spoke.
Canceled original flight and wasn't clear on rebooked flight. Had to pay for bags which was more than the flight itself. Normal help, drinks etc. you have to pay for. This is Not a low cost airline.
Most horrible airlines. Please avoid it. It's ok to spend $50 extra for delta, united or Alaska
Every day about it was very different all the boarding pass where all wrong l miss flight no refund all crazy
