Everything was really good but the seats are not very comfortable.

Spirit airline tries to screw you at every opportunity. Spirit wanted 65$ for an extra pound in the suitcase Made me open the suitcase at the counter to remove 1 pound. Staff very cold and rude Will never fly spirit again and will recommend same to family and friends

Overall it was a good experience. Stewards were very kind and professional. The departure and arrival times were as promised. Plane was clean.

The seemingly have no respect for their customers, on any level. Definitely my last time flying spirit.

Early departure and arrival. Cabin very cold. Waited a while for luggage to come out

MY FLIGHT GOT CANCELED AND I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER TICKET FROM DELTA TO GET HOME SO I COULD GET BACK TO WORK!!!! SPIRIT SUCKS!! I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!

Flights are great except for the ticketing service on the terminal.. Too little employees taking care for lots of flights.

I had a phobia for Spirit and now is 100% confirmed. Flight delayed, missed connecting flight and staying overnight . Now not even able to get my boarding pass until I’ll get into the airport. It’s really really bad at this point

Crew was very professional and friendly. An A for customer service. Had to wait over forty minutes at the carousel each leg for my luggage. After landing in Atlanta it seems they lost our luggage so we had to wait, very tired and hungry. Mothers were on the flight with months old babies sitting in the airport floor waiting. A very bad experience for my first use of the airline. Had it not being for the horrible carousel incident, it would have been pleasant. Comfort was okay, got what I paid for. You have to pay for everything. Looking forward to the cost to use the restroom next.

The flight and the crew was good. I was surprised that you had to pay for a snack and drink But overall everything was fine. Thank you for getting us here safely
