We read many bad reviews on Spirit but our experiences on the round trip was great. Easy check in, aircrafts and seats are new and clean. Flights were on time. The pilots are with great humor and staffs were helpful. I truly hope Spirit will keep up with the timeline and services that it have given us. I will not hesitate to use Spirit again. read more

Spirit Airlines - Going back home - Airlines Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Early arrival at airport for early flight. Once onboard was informed the plane had issues that were being addressed. Then was informed that the part needed replacement and would take two hours. Delay Delayed. At noon informed a secondary plane was coming from another state with arrival 3:30 at 3:36 was informed plane was in the air. Now there is another delay due to a storm. 12 hours at the airport. My birthday celebration is going from excitement to disappointment. Mother Nature is uncontrollable but everyone must be involved in making solutions to problems. There seems to be lack of communication and problem solving. read more

Spirit Airlines - Text messages from the delays. - Airlines Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Spirit Airlines is an unmitigated disaster. Literally every single step along the process of dealing with Spirit was terrible, and they stand as a shining example of what business looks like when someone strives for mediocrity. Their staff was so universally horrible that I feel like it couldnt even have been possible without a premeditated and concerted effort. It was as if they were a team of charades players seeking to act out the word "disinterested". Some of the futility of Spirit Airlines was out of their hands, and part of a larger bait and switch approach to doing business. But when you're charging me for a carry-on that is free on every other airline, or charging my wife and I at the last second $80 to sit together, can you at least ACT empathetic to our plight? Their nonchalance was utterly unbearable- as their company slowly pecked away at my children's college fund one hustle at a time. Do you know what your check-in lady's response was when I challenged the fact that she was charging me $80 for a carry-on? No? Neither do I...because her response was whispered to the apparent mouse burrowing in her front pocket, and I was left standing there bewildered- wondering what could have been if I had only chosen one of the real airlines. read more

Worst experience EVER!!!! I understand when there are changes due to weather but never provided any updates at the gate, changed the gate to another flight and people were thinking they missed their flight and now....sat on the airplane for over 1 hour after landing as they told us they were waiting for a gate...this is at 11:41 pm....not busy!!!!! read more

I had the spirit Visa card and now that they wanted to change to Mastercard, I was denied to use it. I will pay my remaining balance but that's not good business. read more

Zero Stars! Woke up this morning to be informed that our flight home has been canceled and reconfirmed for tomorrow. Because Spirit is claiming it's due to weather, even though all other airlines are running, means they won't comp us Hotel rooms. What a bunch of horse shit! Lesson learned! Whatever you do do not book a flight with these fucking sheisters! Fuck you Spirit Airlines! read more

Spirit airlines is the last person at the bar once the lights come up. Trash. Want WiFi on your 5hr flight? Nah, apparently WiFi is too new of a technology for Spirit's aircraft EVEN THOUGH there are WiFi ads at every seat (as comfortable as a park bench). Want a cup of water? Pay up. Trash. Pure trash. read more

Spirit Airlines - Mythical Spirit Airlines WiFi - Airlines Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

#1 CLE to LAX - Spirit lost our check-in suitcase! My brother and I called Spirit customer service the next day and were hung up on 3 times. Then finally told us the luggage was found at LAX Airport. So we spent 5 hours driving in holiday traffic that night to get it. #2 CLE to LAX - I was not charged for my 8-year-old daughter's little carry-on suitcase so I thought it was small enough to be considered a personal item. #3 LAX to CLE - Gate wanted to charge me $100 for my daughter's suitcase. I complained about the lost luggage from CLE to LAX...and how miserable we were the first 2 days of our trip... their response was aggressively grabbing my 2 boarding passes and removed us from the flight. At the gate, the 3 young male punks were laughing when my daughter cried herself to sleep on the chair. #4 LAX to CLE - Spirit sold our 2 seats to someone else and didn't credit us $650 for the one way back home. Spirit said we were NO SHOW from LAX to CLE even though they checked us in and sent our check-in luggage to Cleveland. So we had to go without clothes again! This time for 2 more days! #5 LAX TO CLE - I paid $1,000 for 2 one way tickets back to CLE with AMERICAN AIRLINES. Spirit never credited me half of my roundtrip tickets which I paid $1300 for. #6 So I ended up spending $2300 dollars for 2 R/T tickets.... More than what United and AA would have charged... Last Resort, last phone call I Spoke to manager customer service and he said to file a complaint on website... just another case claim # in which will be deleted like many others... no refund.. no credits. Nothing but misery.... OWRQMH Spirit Airlines ATTN Guest Care 2800 Executive Way Miramar, FL 33025 read more

I either fly via Frontier or Spirit. I will check on flights as one way and will fly with either airline. Sometimes I mix it up, sometimes I do a roundtrip with one of these bad boy airlines. Doesn't matter what airline you use, stuff happens. I use Spirit because it is cost effective. I once flew to Tampa round trip for $40! My Uber to airports cost more than that! read more

This airline should go back to business 101. Waiting for bags on an average of 45 minutes ! Every single time. Doesn't matter. The passengers were ready to revolt. Spirit Airlines needs to fix the baggage issue. Side note the stewardesses were pleasant. read more

I cannot give them a bad review because when you do business with Spirit- you know what you are getting into. I do not go to Jack in the Box with the anticipation of receiving the best hamburger with quality ingredients for $5. You get $5 worth of edible food. When you fly Spirit, I see it as the same thing. When they charge you $100 round trip to Vegas, you cannot expect the quality you get for the more expensive airline. I fly spirit for the low prices and I expect things to go wrong sometimes. I would suggest flying in the big seats- it is a good value and very comfortable. Overall it is a good airline to get to where you need to go as cheap as possible. I see Spirit as the public transportation in the airline business. I do admit their prices are a little higher and you probably need to be more efficient when you are flying. Also, try blocking your location when buying tickets. They raise and lower their prices based on your location. Try buying the ticket at least 10-20 times and you will save 10-20% sometimes. read more

We were boarded by Byron who boarded from the back. Not a BIG deal but very confusing since everyone is used to boarding front to back. So people didn't catch on that it was boarding this way... and mass confusion ensued. It's too early in the morning to change things (6 am flight) We got to the airport at 4am, so we were prepared to board. Byron had a lot to deal with. The older lady working with him was not helping matters by forgetting the stroller people! Flight was overbooked. We were first to volunteer to change flights but then they changed from : "We will get you on another flight today" to : "You get another flight with another airline sometime, no guarantee of seating" nevermind! On the good side, Thomas in check in, was AHMAAAAAZZING!!!! Give that young man a raise!!!! Byron---keep trying! read more

Spirit Airlines - Check in...DON'T pay extra for "PRIORITY" - Airlines Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

If it was possible to give zero stars, I would. This airline has poor customer service with long waits and people who have no idea how to help you. I was on hold for hours regarding an unused voucher. Hung up on, redirected and never given correct information on how to redeem my travel voucher. Now I'm told it's expired and they will not do anything about it. I'm out $1,000 because of it. Very frustrating!! I will never do business with Spirit again. read more

Well so far you guys are living up to your reputation. Reputation of horrible, garbage, misleading, disorganized, and did I mention crapy service. 3 alerts that my flight would be delayed. Total of 3 hours, however I am still expected to show at the gate one hour before my scheduled time. Not delayed scheduled time. So I call this abomination of bad customer service, and there is an option for book a flight or existing reservation. My dumbass chooses existing reservations. For choosing the correct option I am rewarded with 20 minute hold time. So I call back and choose book a flight, well what do you know I get right in. Here is a company that cares about pissing off new customers more than existing ones. So after talking with the customer service, I am informed that the flight is not delayed and I should check the website. Ok so flight is not delayed. I am like ok website has the flight on time. I guess I have leave work early. So I leave work. I race to get to RTA. Get on a train and what do you know, half way to the airport and I get another alert floghtbis delayed 3 hours. I arrive at the airport and I tell the agent my story and the agent gets her supervisor and he tells me there is a weather delay. Its raining and other flights are taking off. This is the only flight that is delayed. That just felt like Sprint customer service telling you that the new *4g LTE towers will be operational as soon as the city grants them the go ahead. I know have a company that I dislike more than Sprint. To be continued. read more

Spirit Airlines - Airlines Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Disrespectful personnel and charged me 100 for bag that can fit their personal item only because it has to freely drop. Crook airline. Never flying through them again. Cleveland airport gate personnel were very rude. They also accused me of cutting lines and didn't even apologize for it when my ticket scanned red... because I've been scanned through already. I was just stopped because my bag seemed big. read more

Spirit Airlines charged me $240 more than any other traveller because I have a mental illness thaat requires an ESA. I filled out all the paperwork from their Website and submitted all paperwork well in advance, but NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME! Charging a disabled person more is disgusting and unlawful! DON'T FLY SPIRIT EVER! #DontFlySpiritAirlines #SpiritAirlinesHatesDisabledPeople #SpiritAirlinesDisabilityBigots read more

Spirit never misses an opportunity to disappoint. I purchased round trip tickets, bags, big seats. The website didn't charge for the bag for the return flight. I along with 15 others had to wait for everyone to board, then pay $99 for the bag that should have been charged when I booked the ticket. The front gate employee was as unpleasant as usual, but seemed to enjoy her new found power refusing boarding and forcing all to put their bags in the bag bin tester. This is the worst airline in history. Hopefully Jet Blue can help them. They need to clean house and hire people who actually want to work with a positive attitude. read more

Flight from Fort Lauderdale to Cleveland. Plane was delayed 1:45 . But really was around 2:10 delay. Then we land in Cleveland. Then gets worse. We stopped short of gate and had to wait another 20- 30 minutes for them to pull plane to gate. If that wasnt enough, They anounced our luggage would be delayed 35 to 40 minutes. Not 1 Spirit employee Is apologized or offered and king of comp to any of us passengers. Worst flight experience ever. Flight 1608 worst service... read more

If I could give them a 0 star I would. Awful. Cancelled our flight 6 hours prior and even with insurance they wouldn't cover it or offer an alternative. Had to travel 2 hours away for another flight so we didn't miss our vacation. Tried to charge us for the flight change when they cancelled it. Fought that and got it removed. Then fast forward to 12/23 and dealing with another cancellation on their behalf of course but in time to change it. Have us flying in at 847 and the connecfing leaving at 850. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get from one plane to another in 3 mins. They claimed they would hold the flight no they won't lol. And then said they would get us another flight out that night if possible so basically we have no idea what is going on , when and if we get home and jobs we may get wrote up for not being back in time. Oh and kids to try and figure out to be taken care of if we have to stay additional days let alone the cost of hotel and missed wages. Their business model is absolutely horrible. They hold your money hostage and tell you to figure out their crappy solutions. I'm done with them. Never ever again read more

Flew to Cleveland from Seattle 8/15/2021. Tickets via Spirit were booked well before the latest cancellation meltdown. Found out 2nd leg of our return flight had been cancelled. Called Spirit's 800-number. Old fashioned phone-tree sucks (like something from the 1990s) and the rep said our only option was that they'd rebook us on the same flight the next day - meaning we'd get home a day late. No refund, although they did send a $50 gift code for use at an airport restaurant - big whoop. Wound up rebooking on Delta, and was once again impressed with that airline's un-showy competence. Remember what H. L. Mencken wrote? "The older I get the more I admire and crave competence, just simple competence, in any field from adultery to zoology.." Spirit management should take that to heart. Btw, our experience with the Spirit flight crew was excellent - and they had a thankless job dealing with the improperly masked/unmasked along with a child's temper tantrum. Along with travelers, they are the victims of Spirit management's incompetence. Don't be fooled by Spirit management's explanations for the fiasco. Executives make gigantic salaries while front desk reps make fast food wages. How do they expect to attract dedicated employees? I will never fly with Spirit again. read more

This airline sent me a confirmation saying I had a credit then refused the credit because they say it was a mistake to put it in my name when im the one that booked and canceled the flight .all info was sent to my email address no one offered any assistance to only rell me its a mistake the person I booked it for has to use it when I clearly have an email from this airline saying I latasha smith had a credit ...trouble experience read more

Flight staff, including the captain, on flight 535, service from Cleveland, OH. to from Orlando, FL. on July 8th, are all petty as hell!! After being delayed twice, over 2 hours late for our original flight, then they asked one passenger to adjust their mask, & the passenger gives them attitude, so they de-board the whole flight! Smh. I asked who was in-charge of making that call, & the attendant said, "well, it was group decision!" ....Y'all all dumb as hell. ...Scary to know that I'm flying in the air with such incompetent people. ..Where does this make sense??? .... read more

About a 7-10 days after I emailed Sprit, I received a email offering me a full refund or a full credit with a $50 bonus credit for a flight scheduled by September and used the end of the year. The emails were very pleasant and followed up with me as I took a couple days to consider the options. read more

No leg space also, very uncomfortable definitely do not recommend, only thing that's good about this airline is that it's affordable for all who would wanna travel with out much. Overall definitely not the best airline to go on for travelling. read more

I recently flew from Cleveland(CLE) to Tampa(TPA). Unfortunately during the flight the captain came on the loudspeaker and informed us that we were being diverted to atlanta because of inclemental weather at surrounding airports in florida. Other planes had landed at tampa and there were no gates available. STUFF HAPPENS!!!! The captain did an Excellent job of keeping us informed as to the changing conditions and the crew did an excellent job of entertaining us during the one hour layover in atlanta. Also, Spirit apologized by way of email and gave me a fifty(50) dollar voucher toward my next trip(very professional). Signed, Customer for life read more

Such an awful experience last night. Flight to Los Angeles was delayed by 2+ hours, then when we were all waiting at the gate to board there was not a single attendant there and 30 minutes after we were supposed to board we got a notification on our phones that the flight was cancelled. Everyone on the flight left to go get the flight rebooked/refunded & there was not a single employee there. We all waited for about an hour for anyone to come, then the police/TSA made an announcement that no one would be coming tonight and we had to figure it out on our own & try to contact customer service (which you can't reach). Had to pay a ton of money to get on another airline and still no refund. Ridiculous. read more

Spirit Airlines - half of the line waiting for anyone to come help us rebook or refund us. - Airlines Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

My first experience and absolutely my last. Yes, flights get delayed and canceled because of weather, but when they can't re-book you on a flight until 3 days from now is absurd! The Spirit flight we were booked on from Cleveland to Tampa was the ONLY canceled flight on the departure board. We first received email that flight was delayed two hours, but we were to be there as if the flight was on time. The second email said another 45 minute delay, but still be there as if it was on time. As we were being dropped off at the airport we received a phone call telling us the flight was canceled and it would be 3 days before they could provide a flight. I stated that was not acceptable and they said they could refund our money to the credit card we used to purchase the tickets. We had closed that credit card and I explained that, but they said it was the only was they could reimburse us. I have no idea how I will receive my refund. We had to book a flight with a different airline at a cost of $400 plus a rental car to drive to a different airport. I am disgusted by their customer service. I suppose you get what you pay for, but I paid for more than what I got. read more

Horrible customer service. Booked flight months ago and paid for seat assignments. Went to check in and print boarding passes and the confirmation numbers shows no seats assigned. Tricked me into paying another $60 to basically move up one row from our original seats just to make sure I could get on the plane. Called customer service the next day and all they do is read from a script that says, basically, "Sorry, not sorry... we cannot issue a refund." Writing my attorney general's office and will keep posting on EVERY web and blog site I can find about their horrible service. If you've never flown with them, save yourself. Where do even begin with your seats? A wooden bench would have been better. Bungee cords for seat pockets? Not even an air sickness bag provided? I never need them, but I can only imagine the times that someone needed one and didn't have it. Doesn't make me particularly comfortable with the sanitary conditions of the plane. The tray table was dirty, and where the heck was the rest of it? Not even big enough to use for anything, let alone a laptop. Arm rests are so low to the seat that they are unusable even to put an elbow on to use your hand as a head rest. Seats do not recline. Departure was late. Not enough room at gate in FLL. Couldn't hear instructions from where we had to sit across the way. At the gate, the flight attendants had the nerve to ask me to move my wife and son's bags from the seats next to me so THEY could sit down when my wife went to the restroom. I did not offer to remove them and got glared at in return. They are so not worth the aggravation. read more

EPIC FAILURE. 2 Hour Delay only to be met by Cancellation at Midnight. Then rescheduled for 11am following day only to be delayed yet again. Almost 2 days lost. NEVER AGAIN FLY SPIRIT read more

If you want a no frills airline, then you've found it. The wife was looking for a cheap fare, but we were in for a doozy. First off, you're going to pay for checked AND carry-on baggage. $42 for each checked bag. Carry-on is like $45. That's if you buy it before you get to the airport. At the airport, you'll pay $52 at the airport and $65 at the gate. It does change depending on where you're flying. Make sure you print your boarding pass before you get to airport or at the kiosk. Otherwise, there goes another $10 per person. If you have to check a bag and how many people don't, you'll have to wait in line to see an agent for all of 1 minute to take the bag. 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back. You don't get a free coke, it's $3. You're not going to get a heated plane ride either. It was freezing in the cabin as if it wasn't pressurized. I'm kidding, but it was particularly cold. I plan to wear long pants on the flight home. Want to preselect a seat? They'll charge you for that too. Minimum of $18, yikes! Luckily the crying baby in the row in front of us was free! The flight was on time and service was good. But if you want anything, it will cost you for it. I suspect there was a coin operated bathroom too. All-in-all, I think we paid about the same if we were to of flown on American or any other major airline. The flight was full so with other normal carriers you could ask for a better seat at no charge. Not with good Ole Spirit! They'll charge you even at the gate. Why would I expect anything less? We had to settle with our randomly assigned seats, 16D and E (a middle and aisle seat) I do like that the aisle is large enough that two people can get around each other. I would have preferred that they give each of the 6 seats in a row an additional inch in width, but that'd be asking too much. Also it appears that the seats don't lean back. The tray table is only big enough for your cell phone and there's no wifi, even to purchase, on the plane. It's not the greatest experience but it did get us and our luggage to our destination on time and intact. If every airline could do that consistently, that would be amazing. read more

Spirit Flight Nk 184 From LAX TO Cle So apparently we can sit in the middle of the isle to talk to another passenger when we're suppose to be practicing social distancing. While your flight attendant Kameron does the exact same thing talking to another passenger for more than an hr. This is a highly hazardous time and for you to have your employees not enforce social distancing while other guest are trying to get back and forth to the restroom. to have a guy not just one but two people blocking the isle. Highly unprofessional and this is coming from a high risk personnel. You're attendants are not doing a great job. This shouldn't be allowed especially during this time. Even my wife told another flight attendant Princess and she didn't do anything about it either. For safety purposes alone this is uncalled for. Practice safe flying for other people health. This can be avoided on future flights have your attendant enforce social distancing and not blocking the isle risking everyone life. This crew is from the Dallas station just so you can know exactly who I'm talking about. read more

They keep charging my account for a "subscription" that I never signed up for. I cannot contact anyone at Spirit that can resolve this issue. Pay Pal has tried to resolve this several times but I keep getting charged. You cannot talk to a person. When you call it goes directly to email. I spent an hour on their email. The end result was "this may be fraud contact your bank. Back to Pay Pal. read more

The airlines canceled our departing flight to Orlando, and did not do due diligence to communicate with us. They sent a revised itinerary for return flight, but never indicated any changes were made to departure. This late notice, left us scrambling to book a departing flight for our trip. Since we paid a higher price for the short notice, they were able to exploit us and make money off of their poor service and lack of customer care. I would not recommend spirit airlines. read more

My girlfriend and I flew Spirit for the first time on our way to Seattle and had no issues. Employees were very friendly and check in and boarding was straightforward like any other airline. It's a budget ala carte airline, so nothing is included in the flight price except for one carry-on personal item. The seats on the plane don't recline, snacks and beverages are not complimentary, and using the lavatory costs 50 cents.... Just kidding on the last one. The seats were a bit snug, especially with a slightly larger gentleman sitting next to me on our layover flight from Vegas to Seattle, but it wasn't unbearable. Some of the flight attendants were pretty funny with their safety talks and they did an amazing job of handling a medical emergency that one lady had on our flight into Seattle. The paramedics escorted her off the plane as soon as we arrived at the terminal. The pilots landed the plane smoothly, our luggage arrived intact, and flights took off on time. We actually landed a bit early too. No real major complaints except for the cost of the tickets...around $450 round trip after taxes for each of us with one checked bag. We were expecting cheaper, but whatever. It was the cheapest option at the time. I'd fly Spirit again as long as the price is right. read more

Took Spirit to to and from Vegas and all in all a good experience. If u just have a carry on go for using the kiosk! Its super simple and prints out your boarding pass then you just go straight to TSA! read more

If I could select lower then a 1 I would. Last year for my bday I had purchased 2 tickets to Atl, but due to Covid my flight was canceled and I was given a voucher. This year for my b-day I went to book a new flight, but a supervisor had to become involved to authorize the trip. He created a new reservation from what I had. I was getting emails for both flights and I was concerned so I called them and they said it was ok, the one I created was no longer valid and the one that mattered was the one created by the manager. Long story short when I didn't show up I was charged $268.3/ to my card as a no show and now they will not give me back my money and no matter what time I call, I can not speak to a live person only through text messaging and I have been trying since April.This is very unprofessional and unacceptable. read more
