Spirit Airlines Positive Reviews
Best Flight EVER!We were traveling home after spending a few days at Walt Disneyworld in Orlando, FL. Flights with other major airlines were way out of budget since this was Christmas week. I took a chance and booked our flights home with Spirit. I will admit, I was anxious due to poor reviews I’d read online but figured I could tolerate a short flight (2 hours) even if it wasn’t that great. I was nervous our bags would be too big and we’d have to pay to check them but the agent said “Oh! Just those (backpacks)?! You’re fine!” and we had no issues boarding the plane and ever were allowed to use overhead storage (I understand this may not be the norm). When it came time for refreshments/snacks we found the variety very impressive; even though we had to pay for them we didn’t mind because they were high quality, substantial snacks- our son was even able to order Cup Noodles! Our son usually has ear pain on take off/landing due to a history of ear infections which caused some damage but not on this flight!!! When we were leaving the plane, the pilot was coming out of then cockpit, we complimented him on a great flight and he invited my son to come up front and look around. We were VERY satisfied with the airfare fees and overall high quality of services provided by Spirit. We will definitely fly with Spirit in the future!.Jleigh38Version: 2.5.0
Spirit FlightsI’m a frequent flyer and have been with Spirit for almost 10 yrs. Without failure they have always been good to me except for and I say again only when COVID -19 started. I don’t think any airline was prepared on how to deal with COVID-19.
Over all they are affordable and there Pilots are amazing the flight attendants varies but the seats could be a lot more comfortable even the big seats which they call first class. At $100-$130 that seat should give me a message be heated recline and should come with a free glass of wine. But for that kind of service I would have to switch to a different airline altogether. Well spirit I’m a ride or die type of gal so I guess we are stuck with one another. It’s good to have wi-if now so I guess you are working to make it better so no complaints a little at a time. Please stop going up on your bags the pricing for carry on is more the a checked bag why, there’s no reason for this seriously. We are all trying to survive Along with that comes traveling so be a little more considerate to your dedicated customers and your pricing. Things change all the time just be aware to how much your adjusting your prices. For many it hurts they’re pockets especially to a med to large size family. Ijs thanks spirit for all the safe travel to and from much appreciated..ChardGlenn45Version: 2.5.0
Underrated airlineI fly about once or twice a month, usually domestic, and mostly on whichever airline has the best routing for my trip. So basically I routinely fly all the standard airlines: American, United, delta, southwest, frontier, Spirit and Allegiant. Imho Spirit is underrated. I get it they don’t have a ton of flights to choose from so availability is a problem…and if a flight were to be canceled that could be an issue. As well the actual planes are very basic. HOWEVER I pay the extra for the “BIG SEAT” up front and I find them to be extremely comfortable. In the 15-20 or so flights I have flown on Spirit so far none have been canceled (or even delayed) (cross fingers) which is more than I can say for several of the majors. The crew have been exceptionally competent, professional and kind and I’m starting to think it’s not just luck. Do I love that in Vegas I have to weigh and tag my own checked bag? No I do not. But they are also so helpful I basically don’t do it myself anyway. I get all the “yellow tube” jokes but it isn’t stopping me from flying with them..TrthlvrVersion: 2.28.0
A Few Things To Improve Accessibility for People Who Are Blind/Visually ImpairedHello,
I am totally blind, and just downloaded Spirit a few minutes ago. I found upon signing up for an account, almost all parts of the process are somewhat inaccessible. The “Sign in” and “Create an account” buttons, as well as everything else in the app, are labeled just fine, but here’s what could be fixed:
The text fields after the statement “Please enter your name as it appears on your government ID” should be labeled “First name,” “Last name,” and “Email.” The field to enter your password (which my iPhone’s screen reader, VoiceOver, reads as “Secure text field”) should be labeled “Password.” The button to show/hide password should also be labeled, as well as the button to go back at the top of the sign-up menu. The areas to enter your birthday and country, although my screen reader handled the pop-ups beautifully, should be labeled accordingly. Finally, after you are in the main app after creating an account, the button at the top of the home screen that takes you to a menu where you can view/edit your profile should be labeled “My account” or something similar.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and hope these issues can be resolved soon..Julia StockburgerVersion: 1.5.5
Service needs improvementMy siblings surprised me while I was on my birthday vacation in Florida recently which was amazing. I decided to cancel my flight with AA to fly back with them..... I have flown Spirit in the past and thought their service had improved....... The website was difficult to navigate and I was unable to upgrade my seat and pay for my luggage (which would have been free on AA). The ground staff was very unprofessional. Some members were leaning on the counter, others were distracted by their cell phones and one refused to answer a question because she was not 'working'. I paid for my luggage, and my sister realized that she didn't need to pay for her. ( the one personal bag Is very confusing) When I asked for a refund for my luggage. I was told that my bag was already on the belt and there was nothing that could be done. I must admit another employee saw my frustration and attempted to help which ended in the same result. I think this airline needs to be more client centered. I would be happy to offer my services to help to improve the quality of customer service.

Used app to make a reservation same day had to make a changeI used this app to recently take a flight. I booked it and I noticed I selected the incorrect boarding time. I immediately updated the flight and it showed as being updated. I noticed 3 days later that my calendar still had my precious flight. So I looked ok the app the make sure. Saw it did not change my flight at all and I had to pay the extra fee to change my flight. I called that evening and I was on the phone to explain and after 20-30 minutes the phone went silent and was not able to reach anyone. I called twice and said it will have someone to call me and wait was unknown. I checked the website and saw it was closed for phone support. I texted the number and waited 2 hours for someone to respond and explained what happened. I know I should have checked back to make sure everything was correct correct but honest I trusted that it would correct itself. I will not use the app to make flights ever again. I will go back to using the website like I had done prior. I really hate that I spent so much money on a flight for the weekend that was equivalent to American Airlines..Tirra BeeVersion: 2.12.1
My flightThe first flight I’ve ever did in my 40 years on this earth was on spirit airline and it was from St. Louis Missouri to Orlando Florida I was in a first class seat had a window seat the flight attendants could tell I was nervous from the start so they talked me through takeoff they talk to me through any turbulence that we have and they talk to me through landing they were so helpful and so polite as soon as I got to the airport I needed a wheelchair because I just tore my meniscus and my ACL and my knee and I knew I couldn’t walk they got me a wheelchair immediately took me to security got me to where I needed to be offered to stop for me to get food or drinks stop to use the restroom and these were spirit airline people I would definitely recommend flying spirit it was actually a really good flight I flew a different airline on the way home because I couldn’t find a Spirit plane ride for that day and time that I needed and it was nothing compared to Spirit and it was one of the number one airlines that are talked about so I definitely recommend spirit.PlayergrlVersion: 2.5.1
First Time Flying SpiritI’m always traveling and American Airlines is always my go to for flights the prices are usually reasonable and they are reliable. I have heard about Spirit over the last couple of years but it was never good things so I never tried it out. My trip last weekend I was coming from Orlando into Charlotte I think the flight was 1148 but I could be mistaken I flew Spirit . Needless to say this was one of the best flying experiences that I’ve had in all my years. The plane was super clean the team you have in place at the Orlando airport as well as the attendants on the flight were absolutely AMAZING!!! I could go on and on about the professionalism and accommodating everyone was not just to me and my Granddaughter but to everyone. You get 5 Stars for whoever did the candidate selection! I just wanted to say to anyone that hasn’t tried out Spirit Airlines you need to jump on it because I wish I would of tried it sooner! They will now be my Go To for all my flights moving forward… Thank you for such an awesome first impression!.HotlilgmomVersion: 2.16.0
First time spirit flyerThis is my first time flying Spirit and I am a frequent flyer. My thoughts are ppl been given them a bad name for yrs so I always steered clear. lol. But I must say it was honestly one of the best flights I have ever taken. They don’t be playing,boarding was super fast. None of that bottle necking when loading. the flight attendants make sure that everyone is moving along when boarding and deplaning as to allow for all passages to get on. “So yes find ur seat put ur bag up and sit down, u can get what u need out ur bag after everyone has found their seat” Good job Spirit !!,” and we took off at take off time none of that taxing around the airport forever. The take off and landing was so smooth you could barely tell when wheels up and down happened. That was one of the smoothest rides ever. And cannot forget how roomy the plain was no need to pay for extra leg room. I am 5’’7 with a gut so…And the price is right!! Sorry but no other no frills airlines cannot touch them.

Super easyApp is super easy and convenient to use only problem spirit doesn't see is if you take out 1-2 rows a ton of more ppl will book. So many ppl complain about how tight seating is but you'll be surprised about what 6 less seats offer. Raise flight prices a tiny bit to offer more stuff free or cheaper like a checked bag wifi. Ppl feel better getting a deal like offer free wifi for ppl that check a bag better yet $3 wifi for ppl check a bag that drives ppl to select that option. Matter of fact call me hire me I'm make spirit top buck i understand broke ppl but I'm also living in a 10k sqft mansion 58 mins from Detroit. I am raised poor but opening a ton of restaurants as a certified chef. Hire me and profit will raise. I promise y'all it fall on me I'll take the fall but you have to survive in the wild cities to understand animal instinct and growth at the same time. My company about to hit the market. It's not for no reason. Excuse why errors I didn't proofread and flight is about to take off but HIRE ME.BrookiescafeVersion: 2.26.0
Changed my seat without my permissionI am a Spirit frequent flyer and a Free Spirit member. First they cancel my original flight for 4/29, give me a credit that I use on 4/24 to book a flight 5/16. I purchase 2 Big Front Seats, Flex flight, 2 checked bags, 2 carryon bags and priority boarding. Just by chance I check the flight and find out they have moved my partner to a different Big Front Seat and move me back to row 4 an ausle seat. Why? No notification, text, or email asking me if this is ok!!!! Im signed up for text notification and still nothing. I call the number, by the way, what a joke to try and speak to someone!!!! Im told that crew members have been given my paid for seats!!! All they can di is offer me a credit!!!! I say, move your crew members to unpaid seating. Plus, with the virus problems, I paid to be seated with my partner, not strangers!! This is not acceptable treatment to your buying public! Frustration with non-English speaking personnel only makes this maddening!!!!.BrigkcbVersion: 1.5.2
Great Airline but seats, hmmmRecently flew Spirit on a nonstop from Myrtle Beach to Boston. Everything was perfect EXCEPT the seating. Flight crew was marvelous, the aircraft was sparkling clean and the flight was smooth as could be. Got in we’ll ahead of schedule. So 5 stars on all of that. But then you sit down. Can’t move the seat at all. Can’t cross your legs. Items stowed under the seat from the passenger behind me were bumping my foot. Fold down tray for any use was really so small it could hardly hold anything. Just waaay too tight! I know, Spirit might say well we offer seats with more leg room so what’s the big deal? Yes, they offer those extra leg room seats but at an extra premium price. C’mon Spirit, do better please! Sacrifice one row, give everyone an extra couple of inches of space and charge a couple extra dollars to each passenger instead of gouging someone to be even halfway comfortable. Thanks for entertaining such a proposal. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has ever expressed this desire for a more comfortable flight experience..BoSox BillVersion: 2.2.0
Great serviceBest crew ever on our flight out of Newark to Detroit (scheduled to leave at 6:45 in 8/16). Ever member was genuinely welcoming and professional as as we boarded. When they discovered that one person in exit row was not responsive to evacuation instructions they determined see had to be moved (in a fully loaded plane). Subsequently I believe the passenger got sick (not sure). They escorted her off, attempted to clean up and then brought on the professional cleaning crew. Even though this meant a significant delay of perhaps an hour or more. We were so impressed with the way they worked as a team to identify the potential risk, resolve the problem and finally get us on our way. Could have been awful if we took off and perhaps needed to turn around. They all deserve a special thanks and commendation. Our first time on Spirit and we were so impressed we will fly again with you guys!!!

Okay experience - designFirst, when I entered my address for check-in, I clicked on the link that said "resident click here" and was taken to a different form to enter my green card number. However, this form didn't have address fields, so it’s really an additional form, not a different one. It then takes you back to the original address form. From a UX design perspective, this is poor. The link should be at the end of the address entry process.
Moreover, I’m deducting two stars because when I paid for an add-on (security line priority), the iPhone app wouldn’t let me paste my credit card number. It also didn’t have common payment methods such as Apple Pay or even older options like PayPal. Autofill was not triggered. So, I had to manually key in my credit card number, which is quite outdated. (There is a work around - temporary pasting cc number into name field to have it visible for copying )
Scrolling down to find USA is annoying but that’s common , really would be ideal to have the ability to type the country or have it find using gps.ReviewjustmeVersion: 3.2.0
Great App! But will it change for worse…Thus far I’m pleasantly pleased with Spirit. I’ve written off economy airlines more than once. Bad service, price gouging, poor quality, delays…all part of flying on the cheap. Yet I’ve flown with Spirit x5 now and yet to have a bad experience. (Key word, yet.) Really, I don’t have a choice with any other airline since it’s the only one with a straight flight from LAS to ABQ. I like the Spirit App. It’s easy to use, easy on the eyes, and self explanatory. Yes Spirit tries to upsell you with things that are included in the cost of other airlines. It is nonetheless their business model. Yet, their fine print is in large fonts which I appreciate. I’m sure in time Spirit will become just like Southwest, where they guarantee you a horrible experience. Well I sure hope not. Since I’m a Delta customer thru and thru, hate to admit it, I like Spirit..Bubba DougVersion: 2.31.0
Baggage informationMy first flight on Sprit so I wasn’t familiar with the process. I asked a staff member in the ticket counter area if my luggage was the correct size to be considered as a carry on . She directed me to the stand and told me if it fits in there you can carry it as your personal item . Well I go upstairs to the boarding area where the staff member starts to make announcements about the luggage. I got in line to see if my luggage was ok. But I stepped out of line when it was my turn to again measure my bag . It fit , well when it was time to board , the staff member informed me that I would have to pay $100 to check my bag . I said but it fit in the container you’ll told me to go by . She stated it had to fit sideways . I would have appreciated it , if that information was told to me in the beginning . Also the young lady saw me get out line with the luggage and as a courtesy she could have told me then that I needed to check my bag . Mind you a friend had flown with Sprit with that same bag for free . I just don’t like the inconsistency ..#itsallaboutmeVersion: 2.12.1
StellarI will never forget when Covid started n I had already purchased a return ticket from another airline… everything was rapidly closing down in Florida… I couldn’t get through to the airline I had purchased my ticket from n decided to do “call back “ as they suggested… I waited up until 2am n never received a call back from them… so I decided to purchase a new ticket from you… Spirit Airline…. there were lines of people everywhere all over the airport … stranded n trying to get back home… I felt so sorry for all of them …but Spirit Airlines you came through for me… I went through Security…went to my Gate n the plane left right on time… I will be forever grateful to Spirit airlines for coming through for me n all of your customers during one of the most stressful times in our Nation n worldwide Thank you❤️.JCKNLOAVersion: 2.5.0
No idea why the flight was canceled on Christmas day! Merry Christmas!!My son received an email stating that his flight has been canceled on Christmas Day, with no reason why… He has gone out of his way to have a test done and have Christmas with me for the first time in my home since he was 18… So much looking forward to having him home for Christmas! With no help from spirit, He had to rebook it himself for the next day for the same time of departure. They did not rollover!!! Then they lost the reservation for the paid bags for the flight over; he had to fight to get that re-addressed, they put it on his return flight. Thank God he had a return flight because we would’ve lost the money on the paid bags that were paid for and checked in for the flight over!!
Yes we are very fortunate that spirit is still alive and therefore available for the vacation travelers… However they don’t make it easy to help you out when they’ve made the changes that they really should help you out with! Want to love you Spirit....but......FltcrwVersion: 1.5.8
Most difficult website to use - bad company.My mother Lin law was dying and need a flight from Myrtle beach. Got on line and tried to book it. Less then 24 hours so it kept showing available but would not book it. Called them and held on almost 1 hour 40 minutes and finally someone came in. Suggested i join their $9 club and go directly to the airport to have them book it. Got there 3 hours prior and was told they could not help me. I told them about holding on for so long and told to join the club. They apologized and said “we hear this all the time”. Offered to file a complaint but they did nothing. Bought a real ticket from a legit airline and got there. Since then tried to see what my $9 club gets me. NOTHING. Sign in and there is no options to use it ANYWHERE. No instructions or help unless you want to wait an hour or more to speak to someone. Go Frontier if you want a discount airline. This may be cheap but no good when all they do is take your money..REC****Version: 1.2.7
First Time Flying SpiritI was kind of skeptical about flying Spirit Airlines because I didn’t know anything about it. However, I have been immensely impressed with this airline!! When flying out of ATL, I actually thought that I may miss my flight because I went in the wrong direction toward the incorrect terminal. Once I got headed in the right direction, I was the last person to board the plane! The black lady at the gate was nothing more than the happiest person I had come in contact with that day!! On the plane, I didn’t have a credit card to make a purchase of a drink, when I went to the lavatory, the young flight attendant gave me a drink and I told her that I was okay, but she insisted and said that she would use her card to pay for it!! You guys have FIRST CLASS EMPLOYEES!!!! I would definitely recommend you to others!!!.Lw0416Version: 2.21.0

Awesome app and staff at SJO ( San Jose Costa Rica )I was very happy to come to the airport and see s fully staffed counter. It was my first real flight with Spirit. SJO counter where quick , professional and in good spirit. No pun intended. The app seems to work well. Still learning the spirit system, but the app works very effectively. Understanding any airlines system is important, more explanation about the different “ client packages “ would be helpful. Will use spirits app again, and the minor tweaks im suggesting is more like added glossary to explain the different benefits with spirit membership. Over all good job spirit!.GlennGaryVersion: 2.16.0

Spirit Airlines Negative Reviews
Not good would rate lower!Honestly had the worst round trip with Spirit! Would never recommend anyone ever fly with them! I’d rather pay a little extra next time then go through all the canceled and delayed flights! First of all if you cancel someone’s flight that had been booked months in advance and purchased seats they should got an email for another available flight for the same day! After 50 minutes on hold I finally got a hold of someone who needed to book me into another flight as the app was not working! They managed to change my flight from FLL (where i was) to PHL(where is was trying to get) it ended up being a flight from PHL to FLL , I got told I was lucky since there was only 1 seat available , but it was still wrong! Then the managed to change my return date (it was never mentioned to the person on the phone to change it) to 2 days later! After getting off the phone and looking at my app to see if the flights had been updated it was all wrong , and had to call again! This time holding for over an hour! Finally got someone else on the line who said that the flight we had tried to book since 8 in the morning after finding out the flight had been canceled had no seats available , but I could see on the website that there were 3 seats open at the time of the call! Honestly I’d give them less than a 1 star rating but it’s not possible!.Luckystrike1o1Version: 2.0.3
Needs improvementA few weeks ago, I was taking a spirit flight from Las Vegas to San Jose and was offered a spirit credit card. The Spirit credit card is banked by Bank of America. There was a 50,000 points bonus for signing up. I signed up. I spent over $1000 in the first billing.. And earned 50,000 points. No mention was made by Spirit airlines. I received received no acknowledgment of the 50,000 points. Wondering what had happened I signed online to my account. There was the 50,000 points. Hooray. Now how do I spend them? This is where spirit is weak. It is quite unclear from the website however those points are utilized.
Yesterday I opted in for the savers club membership. I paid for one additional personal item and upgraded my seats. At no time was I allowed an opportunity to use the 50,000 points? in fact, I was charged for the spirit savers club membership and for the additional bag and for a seat upgrade. This needs work. If I were the product manager, I’d get on this right away. There should be an Omni channel experience. This morning I received an early check-ininvitation. So, I went online through the invitation link. It didn’t acknowledge that I had already upgraded my seat that I had an additional bag paid for and that I was a spirit savers club member. This needs work..JCL$$$Version: 2.28.0
High reviews for the app? Or for the airline?My experiences with Spirit have unfortunately been absolutely terrible. Aside from the flight itself, and despite the app being relatively decent, their customer service and the airline itself, make me feel like I just got scammed. Now, it’s not the agent that helps you that’s the problem. They are fine and doing their job. It’s the way the airline handle things. From baggage fees, to cancellations, to getting appropriate help with either chat or phone. A vacation or trip is not WORTH the sadness nor anger that follows when problems arise. My recent trip I lost $500 due to a cancellation, but it feels like $2000. It seems a lot of people have had good experiences with them based on the reviews, and I’m truly happy for them, but for me I will not go through them anymore. I can’t.
Update: Flight cancelled, no notification. Given an amount of return. They change the amount, $25 less, a couple hours later when I call. Then the refund goes through $45 less than what they said over the phone. About a $70 difference. How do you give a customer 3 different amounts for a refund? After the cancellation, if I didn’t go through a different airline my trip would’ve been ruined and probably lose another $2200. No apologies, no real help, no answers, just an overall terrible experience..Alx78Version: 2.22.0
Worse Customer Service EverSpirit offers cheap affordable tickets but will cancel flights whenever they chose. When you call customer service to try and make rearrangements, they treat you like you are in the wrong. They offer very little help and are rude to you. I recently planned a trip to Puerto Rico and they canceled my whole trip two weeks before we were to fly out. Instead of just canceling the return flight they cancel the whole flight. When I called customer service was extremely rude, the customer service manager even hung up on me. I arranged for seats and baggage on both fights to and from, when I finally got a customer service manager that would semi-work with me, me and my family were rescheduled on the same flight there, and I was not guaranteed my paid for seats to keep my family together… though I paid for it. And the refunded me my return flight fee except for the seats and luggage fees I paid. Day of flight I talked to the gate about getting the seats I paid for, they refused and again rude. When we finally get back home I try to cancel my spirit membership and they have done nothing but give me the runaround and I still can’t get it canceled. Again customer service is rude. This is the worse air service ever. Thankfully United Airlines treated us way more friendly on our trip back..Come on12321232112Version: 2.8.1
The worst costumer service everI prepaid for a Carrie on bag it was smaller then a laptop and easily could have fit under my seat but I had a backpack that was small but full so that’s why I prepaid for the carry on , well I get to the plane to board and they scanned my ticket and no extra bag was found , I didn’t have a physical card but had cash Apple Pay my I’d card information and they would not let me on the plane or take any of my payment systems or the cash , the lady had the nerve to tell me to ask a stranger to pay for me , I’m an intervert and at this point I’m completely humiliated and my anxiety is higher then it’s ever been in my life , they told me to step aside and they were preparing to cancel my flight over this very small issue that was technically there problem to begin with , I’m not a negative person I always try and find the good in things but the way I was treated was extremely uncomfortable embarrassing I will never ever fly spirit ever again in my life , and I’ll go out of my way to tell people to not to fly then as well , thank god a nice older lady heard what was going on because the flight attendant was being loud and obnoxious and offered to put it on her credit card and I gave her a $20 tip on top of the ridiculous $65 fee for the smallest bag ever ! I’m so disappointed in this company 😡.Dugefresh123Version: 2.4.1
Terrible customer serviceI have flown multiple times with Spirit and I keep telling me myself that it’ll be the last, but alas they seem to be the only airline that flys out and into where I need to be most times. The lastest debacle of this 3rd country airline that i have had is I made a booking several days ago only to be informed by email that my payment didn’t go through and that I would have to call in order to get the booking reserved. The phone number they provide leads to a text service where you use a robot text service and I was unable to get the proper assistance needed to complete the transaction. So I book a different flight no problem it goes through. Then I am informed that my original booking was charged so I try and cancel that one, but they will charge me a significant fee to cancel the original booking because it’s outside the 24 hours. Even though it was their system at fault, the customer has to pay and forgot trying to speak with an actual human being. People think that they are saving money flying with Spirit but once you take into account all the backhanded fees, the terrible customer service experience and not even getting complimentary drinks on long flights you’re money is better spent in literally any other airliner than Spirit..Pb-rizzleVersion: 2.23.0
ComplainI would like to complain a Janus against this employee in the San Jose airport because we got miss treatment by lady name was Aranza. This lady was so harsh on my wife and I and didn’t give us any information about the airline policies. Apparently she charge us $200 for carry on at the gate of sprit flight and we were advised by her to either you pay $200 or you cancel your trips and you don’t get on board. This lady was very impolite, and on the other hand at the counter of sprit , nobody advised us to check in online or at the counter and somehow we missed that and they send us to the gate and at the gate we had no choice to pay $200 which was impose that money on us, However, we have had very bad experience with this flight and our trips was spoiled by this lady Aranza obviously we just witness after bunch of Spanish traveler that they didn’t pay for their carry-on, and this lady talk to them at least two minutes at the gate and let them go and we think we are victim here by Aranza. However, such an employee is going to be bad example for a spirit airline, we hope people who be concern about such an employee do some action for the future. There is something was so obvious that she was so unhappy and talk to us impolitely . Sincerely.

Worst airline, horrible experienceOn our flight to Cancun, one person in our party didn’t receive her checked luggage until the next day. Then our flight back to Dallas was delayed due to maintenance, then when they finally boarded us, we were held on the plane for over 2 and a half hours while they dealt with the same maintenance issues. We were not given drinks or snacks while we waited on the plane. Then they deboarded the entire plane saying the flight was being canceled and sent us back through customs to get our checked bags. Several bags had been tampered with and items stolen. We were taken to a hotel and brought back early in the morning for a flight that was supposed to leave at 11:00 am. The flight (same plane) was delayed for the same maintenance issues and we were told they were going to try to bypass the maintenance issues and fly without some communication and lighting issues (mentioning the seatbelt sign might not work). We finally boarded at at 12:34 and deboarded in Dallas at 4:00pm. We felt incredibly unsafe flying with Spirit and will never fly with Spirit again. They also issued meal vouchers in Cancun that could only be used in the US, and expired quickly, insuring the vouchers wouldn’t actually be used. I don’t recommend flying Spirit..KimdbayVersion: 2.9.0
A horrible experience trying to get seats for my 8 year old daughter and I!!What a horrible experience I have had with Spirit Airlines. My previous experiences of trying to buy seats on line with Spirit was a hassle, but the most recent was beyond bad! I could not purchase seats, despite numerous attempts for over 5 hours, to fly with my 8 year old daughter. The ap kept coming up with, “oops there is a problem, please try back later.” So, the prices of the seats kept going up as availability went down. Then there were no aisle seats left and almost none left at all. I tried the chat function and finally was assigned seats. The seats were gained after over an hour of dealing with the chat person until after midnight, and they were middle and window and instead of $28 a seat I was charged $92! I’m very tall and the middle seat is uncomfortable and I paid way more for it. Not to mention all the time it took to TRY to get seats and check in all evening. The money saved with Spirit is sometimes a lot, but is is a horrible experience. I will do everything I can to never fly Spirit Airlines again. I would encourage everyone to go with a different airline! The online/ap is totally inefficient and ineffective. Customer service is extremely poor..Eddieball35Version: 2.20.0
Asked for a refundIt all started with me canceling my flight within 24hours of booking it and I had the guarantee to make sure I get my money back should I have to cancel for any reason. And unfortunately I did have to cancel I get a reply by their SMS TELLING ME all is good and I should receive a refund within 7 days. Then 15 days later, I received nothing, I try to call and go through all the hoops to be told I didn’t “do my part” after 2 hours of struggling with virtual help and phone conversations with actual Indian representatives( outsourcing probably) . They basically told me to go F#%k myself. So if I can help anyone to stay as far away from spirit airlines as possible, then I’ve done my part. They are horrible and don’t value customers or customer service. The worst possible experience I can ever recall. I’m usually a very tolerable person but when everyone tried to blame you when you have all the proof saying that you did your part and they pretend that it didn’t happen, that’s when I draw the line. To blatantly tell me there’s nothing they can do for me even with all the proof I provided, then I will fire back. I don’t write reviews this way but boy did they push my buttons today. I hope this helps people stay away, far away!!!!.Joe1filmmakerVersion: 2.3.0
Extremely UnhappyI booked my flight several months ago, leaving 6am and landing 1:15pm, nonstop flight. I made all my arrangements for transportation on both ends. My flight was changed without any notice to leaving the following day, 5 hour layover in Vegas and getting home Thursday. I have to be at work Wednesday morning and I have 2 young children at home so this definitely would not work for me. I called your “customer service “ and was told my only options were (1) flight with the layover (2) flight leaving at 11 tonight getting in tomorrow morning (3) refund of ticket price. I had NO real option but 2 which makes me late for work Wednesday and I have to now pay $150 for transportation home since my previous ride is not available, I am now out a considerable amount of money between the addition time needed for the vehicle rental in AZ, lost wages 3 hours at $34 per hour, $150 in transportation that is $350 out of pocket due to Spirit. I asked how I would be compensated and your customer service said I won’t be. If I canceled my flight I would not have received a full refund, your company would have charged a fee, you have done it before, but you cancel on me and again I get screwed. The service you provide is awful..Out HundredsVersion: 2.25.0
Personal experienceSpirit started off strong for me, even though many of my friends had told me to avoid them and book with another company. I decided to take my chances on the cheaper ticket. There’s a reason spirit is cheap. Early on spirit was easy to use and laid everything out in plain text on what to expect. However, two days before my flight my grandma had a heart attack and was in the ICU. I called spirit to try and get some guidance on what to do with her tickets and they told me I would get a $120 store credit that only she could use. Keep in mind she’s in the ICU and I paid for the tickets. (This policy makes literally no sense). Also keep in mind, I spent nearly $400 on her tickets… I only got $120 in store credit for a $400 ticket for someone that had a heart attack in the ICU (with paperwork). The company is heartless and is only about business. Don’t expect any chips or drinks, don’t expect any legroom without doubling the price of your ticket, and don’t expect the staff to be nice to you. The company is full of bad vibes and they have no heart whatsoever. I won’t be flying spirit ever again. Any other airline in the world would gladly refund the full amount of the tickets with only spending about $10 more dollars. Avoid this airline..GetteertVersion: 2.7.0
Very DisappointedWe were getting ready to board our plane and they asked us to return to our seats and within a few minutes they announced that another group of people were going to board our plane instead because their plane had mechanical issues. Our entire plane of people were delayed TWELVE Hours to Orlando causing many of us to miss a connection to other countries by 1 to 3 days! They offered us a refund but no assistance in maintaining our travel plans. We had to spend an additional $300+ per person on another airline to get to our destination AND miss part of our trip, AND spend an extra 8 hours in airports and traveling in the air. When we issued a complaint we were offered $7, yes only $7, for all day in the airport and a $50 voucher for our next flight with Spirit. I have never received such poor service from any airline. Even the lady working the counter where we were boarding was appalled that they would give our plane away and said it was wrong of them to do that. I’m still hoping to be compensated for money and time lost. We will see if they come through for us. We cannot afford to fly with this untrustworthy company..BlyRashVersion: 2.16.0
Worst App Ever!This is the worst app ever especially for a frequent flyer on all airlines. The first flight to our destination city Spirit is flying. App crashes every single time if not when opening as soon as the first click down it goes and disappears. Can’t get boarding passes, buy luggage (nice surprise a charge for a carry on) or change seats can’t do anything in an app that crashes every single time.
Go on the website and it’s just as horrible. It’s hard to navigate, most links don’t work, can’t check in either but was able to buy seats and again luggage since they charge for that too even though everyone has a carry on. Once you add up the cost it’s not any cheaper than other discount carriers and with advanced purchases nor the major airline.
Lastly when we called to see why the app crashes or the website don’t work and want to check in, there’s another 25 buck charge for that too, wow. So now we will have to wait in the long lines to get paper tickets which is more than frustrating and we’re also TSA pre-approved so instead of zipping through the process which we’ve paid to do now our onboarding will take forever. This is the first and last time we will fly with Spirit!!!.Frustrated First & Last TimeVersion: 1.2.7
Please avoid this airlineIt might be cheaper but cheap will cost you more, I did booked a flight with months of anticipation and with months of trip planning, I did booked spirit instead of DELTA to save me just 50 bucks, at the day of the flight, they made me wait more than 5 hours postponing the flight at the end canceling the flight with no reason given, I tried to reschedule the flight for a couple hour late but the was no more flight landing until the next day, making me cancel all the reservations and appointments for that day making me pay the cancelling at last moment fees, and I did request a refund for the flight right after, but i after a few days I haven’t got any email regarding the refund, so I speaked to an agent and I did give him every details and he did submit for me a refund request, that happened long days ago, and today a received a email regarding my refund request sayin that it wasn’t approved due wrong information when I give every exact detail, and now I’m just keep waiting on the calls and emails and still don’t have a response… please avoid this airline just to save you a few bucks, cheap will cost you more..ChapinPP11Version: 2.17.2
Pay a little extra and use someone elseI decided to take a chance on Spirit even though everyone jokes about how terrible of an airline they are. I’ve always heard they overbooked every flight and that’s exactly what happened on the trip to Costa Rica. Our tickets said to see the attendant and we were the first in line with about 15 people in line behind us who all had no seats. We were the only ones who got lucky enough to get seats but we shouldn’t have even needed to worry. They told us we didn’t check it in time but the app doesn’t work. It’s garbage. Now I am in Costa Rica hoping I can get back and get my daughter to her college exams, but I have no faith in them. trying to check in on their app and it just goes to a blank page. We tried it on her phone with no luck either. I’m sure they will tell us we didn’t check in in time and have 20 extra people more than they have seats available. This airline is a complete joke! even the people working, the counter were rude, through the luggage after we told them to be careful with it, they had attitude and mopped around like sloths. I wish I had paid the extra money to use a reliable Airline..AaronMac22Version: 2.16.0
Not fair chargesMy flight from LA to Houston the agent checked me in and did not charged me for my carry on bag. Even though I’ve asked the agent if there were charges and she replied NO which I was fine with it. Then arriving to Houston and getting to my final destination New Jersey before boarding this rude agent started asking me to get out of the boarding line. And I was asking why? Then she said that I needed to pay for my carry on. I was so upset asking her why from LA they didn’t charge me for anything and why they started giving me problems? But that just not happened to me even with other passengers and I was like this is ridiculous cause they should have charged since the begging not making people think that everything with our flight is fine. But this is the part that got me more angry when finally boarding and putting my carry on at cabin baggage there were many spaces empty. In conclusion I’m a traveler and just because of this bitter situation I would NEVER travel with spirit again! This flight was an emergency for me but NEVER again, FRONTIER is way better then this airline even the customer service. If you are looking for something affordable and good service go for FRONTIER or UNITED airline..DanaMarielVersion: 1.5.6
Charged $100 more due to Spirit Website Issues as I was booking my flightI was booking my flight on my iPad and could complete the booking as I got error messages from Spirit. Spirit was definitely having some website issues. I was directed from the website to an online chat with them. I started the chat and at the same time, got out my laptop to try to book the flight in that instead of my iPad. I got all the way thru the process, charge card info entered, and select purchase ticket. After a few moments, instead of getting a confirmation of my purchase, I got a message saying my purchase did not go thru but ,”don’t worry, you won’t be charged.” I then went thru all the steps to purchase the ticket for the third time, and it had gone up in price by $100!!!
I have spent 1.5 hours on the phone with Spirit airlines trying to get this resolved. I was intruded by Spirit Customer service, as well as a Spirit agent at the airport to contact Spirit by making a complaint. The only way to do this is thru a chat. I have never received a response to my chats!! This airline is so frustrating and disappointing to work with..$100 ticket price increase!!!Version: 2.26.0
Never AgainIf I could give lower than one star, I would. Spirit starts low but charges you extra for anything additional such as seat selection and carry ons. If you need to be anywhere on time, don’t use Spirit. I’ve never had as many delays and cancellations as with Spirit. Sometimes multiple delays in one trip. They have a reputation of cancelling your flight in less than 24 hours of your trip with no reason and will not help you rebook. I received a text message that I will receive an email on how to rebook my flight, but never did. I used their chat service and it’s all automated responses and didn’t receive any help after being on hold for hours. I attempted calling and was on hold for 45 minutes until it just hung up after receiving a digital recording stating, “Sorry for the high call volume”. Lastly, the flights always have tough landings like a teenager with a fresh learner’s permit. You think you’re saving money but once you include having to rebook or get another airline last minute because you get no help from Spirit, plus extending your hotel stay, it’s actually pretty costly.

FlightI’ve been waiting for a few months now and never heard back from spirit air. I booked a flight in November to Las Vegas . I used myLegal name of Joseph and use my credit cardWhich was billed in the amount of $187. I never got a confirmation for the amount that they took out then I used my debit card and booked a reservation in the name of Joe. they took the money out of my debit card and when I went for my flight out of Detroit to Las Vegas I had no problem when I try to return from Las Vegas to Detroit I had a problem they had no reservation for Joe what they had a reservation for Joseph when I got back home. I checked my bank account and found out that they had taken the money out of my bank account when I inquired in Las Vegas they had no booking for Joe but a booking for Joseph same last name same spelling same birthdate they charged me Joe for a no-show I’ve been trying to get a refund from Spirit Airlines I talk to representatives they told me that the money was not taken out I have proof document of money being taken out of my accountI will not recommend spirit airline to anybody with this kind of run around but I’m getting.Mighty fine JoeVersion: 2.10.0
Nightmare Flight with Spirit AirlinesI recently had the most horrific flight experience of my life with Spirit Airlines. My direct flight from Las Vegas to Portland was scheduled for 10:43 AM yesterday, but when I checked in on the app, I discovered that they had unilaterally changed my flight to one with a layover in California for 5 hours. This was especially problematic as I was traveling with two young children. When I contacted Spirit Airlines to inquire about the change, I was met with a dismissive attitude. They claimed that such changes were normal and offered no apology for the inconvenience caused. Due to this unexpected alteration, I unfortunately missed my daughter's school orientation. Upon arriving at the airport, the situation only deteriorated. The Spirit Airlines staff were rude and unhelpful. To make matters worse, they damaged my baby's stroller. The plane itself was filthy and in a state of disrepair. Overall, my experience with Spirit Airlines was a complete disaster. I would strongly advise anyone considering this airline to reconsider. Their poor customer service, lack of empathy, and disregard for passenger well-being make them an unacceptable choice for air travel..Saly elsayedVersion: 3.0.0
HORRIBLE AIRLINESpirit Airline was horrible! Every client should have the right to carry their suitcases for free when checking out our luggage and carry on’s not having to pay exaggerated extra money for one simple suitcase and bag. My family and I had to pay over 100 dollars for a small suitcase and our personal bags each. It’s ridiculous! Seats were so uncomfortable, all worn out and close together and assistance was absent during the flight. Very unstable flight as well and lack of clean and sanitize restrooms and again seats the plane it self. One of my family’s friend flew in this exact same airline which they also experienced multiple conflicts, their plane had malfunctioned and had them wait for a day and few hours more until they could finally aboard their plane, which we highlight the airline did not cover any of the extra costs they had to make involving food not hotel due to these technical issues. I really do not recommend this airline, with the exaggerated extra pointless charges and the airline not being responsive nor considerate to the public is ridiculous..YemyyCVersion: 2.20.0
Never againI received an email stating that my flight was delayed 45 minutes. Then I received an email asking me to check in when I tried to check in. It said that I no longer had an active flight so I called and the man said that the flight was canceled. Then he issued us a voucher for food and a hotel, but it was for the wrong day, so I called up and the girl said that we couldn’t have a voucher because our flight was never canceled. It was just modified and then when I asked to change the flight back, the girl said that I would have to pay extra so we kept our flight because I didn’t have a choice. I have to now pay out for a hotel room, when I go to check it, tell me I have to pay for our seats seats that I already paid for on the original flight. I will never again fly Spirit and I’m gonna recommend nobody else does either. I would rather pay the extra to fly Southwest Delta or United because basically that’s what I’m paying for. I’m grounded in Orlando and have no money because I have to pay for extra when it’s your error!.Angry in Orlando and BostonVersion: 2.31.0
Bad customer serviceI had to cancel my kids flights. Two out of three, but not that it is time to return the flights were not properly cancelled. I had to call customer service. The First Lady I spoke to said I would be charged because their is no notes stating I’ve canceled. I explained to her I used the what’s up app to do it and I can email her the proof of the conversation and forward her my email confirmation. She said that was not possible and hung up on me. I called back again and spoke with a more helpful lady. She saw that I had canceled my kids flight and said she will complete it. Per the First Lady I would be charged but not according to this one. So we continue to cancel their flights. However now that I go online to check in it does not show that I’ve already paid for my carry on. Also the email confirmations they send do not state the flights have been canceled which is going to make filing a claim difficult. Flying with spirit has been a problem and paying the extra buck is well worth the customer service and security if the honor system..Angelica OliVersion: 2.22.0
No one caresWe booked a trip through Spirit Airline for the first time. We saved money to celebrate our 35th in Punta Cana. Although late departures are out of everyone’s control (in most instances), staffing the flight was the problem from MCO to PUJ. Then after arriving almost 2 hours late (and missing our shared transfer ride to the resort)….Spirit lost our luggage. We had absolutely nothing but our cell phones, passports, and wallets for 2 days. We couldn’t enjoy anything nor go to any nice places to eat at the resort. Our luggage finally arrived Tuesday night. We could never reach a person at spirit to help us. The resort said it wasn’t there problem.
Our entire trip was ruined. And needless to say it rained for the next two days after we got our luggage. And NO ONE CARED that all this money was wasted . I signed up for the credit card. But after all this I’m not sure if I’ll ever fly spirit again. So disappointed with your customer service. Lastly 5 families were in line with us at PUJ filing missing luggage reports. So it definitely wasn’t just a single incident..Zero SpiritVersion: 2.28.1
Don’t move your seats using this appThe app okay. I was able to look at my flight time and boarding passes (it did not crash on me like other users seem to deal with). However, I wanted to move our seats on our flight, so I did that. But then it never updated our boarding pass with the new seats I chose. Instead, the pass check to “check at gate”. So, I went up to the attendant and told them the pass said I needed to check in with them and that I had moved our seats using the app. She prints off boarding passes for us and instead of them being he seats I chose, they are all the way at the back of the plane and we are no longer next to one another. I explained to her the seats I had chosen and asked if we could have those, but she said those seats were already taken. If you’re going to make an app, all aspects of the app should function. To show the seats I chose were available and then to find out they actually aren’t and we got moved to the very last row of the plane is very disappointing and frustrating..AngelF09Version: 1.0.2
DisappointingWe booked our trip to Cancun, so excited to finally get a flight traveling early morning on the way there and late afternoon/evening coming back. Only to get a call 36 hours before departure having to spend 2 hrs on the phone trying to figure out how to expend my trip for one day because our returning flight was cancelled, I saw on the app that they extended us to the following day, but guess what - no hotel room could be secured. Then I was told that was the only non stop flight. I finally got someone on the phone that found a flight on the same day. I was told that due to the mixup they bumped up our luggage to 50 lbs instead of 40 lbs, however when I logged into the application, the luggage was still at 40 pounds and now I have to pay to set up seat, requests or seat assignments and I can’t get out of the check in without paying for a seat assignments so it’s just been one thing after another after another with this trip part of me wonders if I should just cancel it all together but I really need to take a vacation!.MeeeeeetooVersion: 2.22.0
Spirit is the worst airline ever.I want to give 0 star but I can’t, so I’ll give 1 star. When I entered the airport spirit had a mess. Literally I saw a men screaming at a spirit worker, I don’t know why, but I bet they deserve it. Me and my family were late because THAT LINE WAS HUGE AND A MESS. When we got there, the door was open. It was 8:10pm and the flight leaves at 8:15pm. A freaking man closed the door when WE HAD TIME, like it’s not fair, there was a men in front of us and he let him go. I was literally crying, it was really sad. CAUSE WE HAD TIME, and the plane left at 8:40pm AT 8:40pm. I think it wasn’t the airline fault because that stupid man closed the DOOR. I have a little brother of 2 years old. You guys think is fair? HE IS A BABY A BABY. He was uncomfortable and crying. However it’s also spirits fault, THERE WAS A HUGE MESS OUTSIDE, there was not enough staff, there was like 100+ people and only 5 people in the cashiers. I wish they cancel Spirit because the other reviews are even worst. Like SPIRIT YOU JUST CANT DO THAT. Your staff is even worst.

Very unhappy/disappointed customerThis was my 1st time flying w/Spirit. They unexpectedly cancelled my flight w/no type of noticed. I scheduled and paid for a trip to spend in Orlando Florida for my grandson 6th birthday. In that planning my family and I paid for weekend passes to sea world which we wasn’t able to take advantage on the 1st day here. I specifically scheduled my flight to return back home a day early to be back at work. When I decided to go on line to check my flight/luggage in, I discovered that my return flight back home was once again cancelled and Spirit put me on a flight to return home two days later which left me in a unnecessary uproar to figure out how to get home at a timely matter to return to work. Spirit has no consideration or respect of people time, finances and safety. I’m now out of more money I expected to spend and have and Spirit thought by crediting me was a $21 dollar voucher to spend only at the airport for my inconvenience pain and suffering. I will never recommend or fly with Spirit airlines and I plan to proceed further..Tonya peanutVersion: 2.22.0
Very disappointedWe arrived at 4:15 and our flight was at 5:20 AM and spirit would not allow us to travel we had to rebook. We had checked online the night before, and the system kept saying that it was a down so we kept trying and then we paid for our baggage online and they said we were completed when we arrived they said that we do not have our boarding passes . Spirit charged us $100 per passenger so that was $500 plus we forfeited our room in St. Thomas, which was 400 a night plus we had to buy another room for $230 in Fort Lauderdale. We lost about $1200.. we complained to spirit airline customer service we wrote a ticket they should at least refund us our rebooking fee of $500 and yet they have not. They even said that our luggage would be available in Fort Lauderdale and it was not. We had no items when we had to stay at the hotel there .Do not fly this airline you think you're saving money but they will get you at all of the other fees and the customer service is the worst I've ever seen!.Disappointed1223Version: 2.30.1
Inaccurate flight informationThis app was not helpful in any with our recent trip back home from New Orleans. Our flight was delayed 8 hours but according to the app, our flight was on time. All the information about our flight was sent via email and the live employees were next to no help either. I had checked us in for both flights prior to the delay, but somehow we were not checked in for our connecting flight. The flight supervisor was rude and condescending throughout the check in process since it could not be done via the app. I had even called customer service to make sure we had seats and that employee did not alert us we were not checked in. Overall a horrible experience after a wonderful honeymoon. I wouldn’t even give my enemy the vouchers for future travel on a Spirit flight. To compensate us for the 8 hour delay in the airport, Spirit kindly gave us $14 meal voucher for the flight not even inside the airport. Honestly the cheap rates are not worth the headaches this airline is guaranteed to come with..Sosofia10Version: 2.14.0

This one particular person Mauricio was unable to inform me properly and when I questioned him for an answer her passed me over to someone else and she said the line disconnected and I had to start all again. I guess this is what we pay for…. Not very much!.Cers00Version: 2.24.0
HorribleListen to all your friends when they say DO NOT BOOK WITH SPIRIT. Just don’t do it. Worst experience ever. Absolute garbage.Quarantine hobbyVersion: 2.23.0
Very oddDid not send me an email to check in, but I received emails each day before my flight to “bid” on seats.
Also, one of those emails asked if I was interested in preselecting a seat for a fee. Little did I know on the day of check in, those seats were free. Now I’m out $18..GetyourshittogetherorgersVersion: 2.23.0

Worst service and airlineAt the airport the staff gave me the worst advice, I paid $100 for baggage then had to pay $125 extra for being 5lb overweight. Could have been avoided by just checking my carry on which they also charged me $50 for, no help at all. These guys are a scam.MickBakerVersion: 2.17.2
Service was awfulTerrible first time experience with Spirit. We found out at check in at the Detroit airport that our flight was cancelled due to “weather”. Yet all the other airlines were operating and completing their routes. Very non caring and unfriendly service at the check in desks too. They could have at least pretended to empathize. The next flight they could book for us wasn’t for another 24 hours which would have taken a whole day off of our 5 day getaway. We booked with another airline but were very late arriving at our destination airport and could not pick up our rental car at 1:00am. Huge cab fees to our hotel and then back again to get the car rental. We were told Spirit had multiple cancelled flights the same day for some reason. We do not believe it was weather related and most of the other frustrated passengers felt the same. Never again..Kim7381947294$$)Version: 2.16.0
Worst airlinesHad 5kg extra they charged $99 usd! Never book with this airline its the worst.TetaazraVersion: 2.11.0
It’s not worth the discountI know the fact that spirit is less expensive is really tempting, but please guys if you see this. Don’t make the same mistakes I did. They cancelled our flight once, we stayed overnight to catch the next one, then they cancelled again. By then it was too late to have our whole trip. They boarded everyone, had us wait inside for an hour, then cancelled because they did not have a pilot 😭what airline doesn’t have a pilot? What airline doesn’t have a pilot and boards everyone anyways? They nearly refused to refund us too, though that was kind of our fault for booking with a 3rd party..Finch's baeVersion: 2.6.1
Not a stateI tried to purchase a seat and due to the fact my address is not US i can not chose a state or have an option or a province so it would not work. I could not pay for or chose a seat i wanted..Nesser78Version: 2.4.1
Scam company, just like Ryan AirThey advertise low prices, then charge you for extra stuff that they don’t tell you about:
- must check in online, or you pay extra fee
- carry-on bags extra fee
- even though they say you can cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking, they will charge you a “cancelation fee + admin fee” that ads up to the same or more than your ticket.
- service is terrible. The flight was on time, then delayed for a hour and a half due to technical issues. After 2 hours they finally brought passengers onto the buses and out to the plane, but the plane doors we locked and no one would explain why we weren’t allowed in. They made us stan in the hot Cabo sun for 45min before a supervisor finally came out and instructed the bus to return and bring us back to the terminal. Once we returned, Spirit airline staff mentioned that they should not have sent us out to the plane in the first place, but still had no idea what’s going on.
Avoid this company if you can..DonDoug123Version: 2.0.5
