Liked: Flight took off on time and arrived early. The airplane was clean and organized. The aircrew were super! Made the flight fun! I felt safe. Could have been better: I tried to check in at the kiosk, but an error “99” prevented me from doing so requiring me to wait in line for an agent.

I like the opportunity to bid for a better seat. I upgraded to front row easily. I took a red eye flight. I wish the flight attendants weren't so loud. The level of their voices was way too loud for the red eye flight.

I am really disappointed with kayak, I use to really rely on this app. But my most recent experience was horrendous to say the least. When I searched my ticket your site automatically selected an alternate date with out me knowing. I could not contact kayak for help and the airline would not help me resolve the issue

I purchased the first two front row seats. They were very comfortable and had plenty of room. It is worth the extra to purchase them. The flight crew coming and going were awsome and kept the time passing.

The wide seats help and were reasonably priced. Def worth it. Added at least a small bit of comfort to the flight

Legroom was good. Seats are not very comfortable since they do not recline. Maybe add a slight tilt to them via washers on the bolts on the front of the seats.

Really, other than price, there's nothing good about Spirit. And when you add all those extra charges for everything, the fact that they charge extra for a carry on, or that their bag fees are higher for a lower weight allowance (40 lbs vs 50 lbs for everyone else), the price advantage becomes too small. Other airlines such as JetBlue are much better options.

Flight attendant, Ann, moved me to allow quicker deplaning. This allowed me just enough time to make my next flight. She was kind, confident, and assertive about my travel day.

The flight was delayed for 4 hours due to a mechanical issue they ought to have been inspected before we all boarded. Finally boarding 4 hours later, we missed our connecting flights and didn’t arrive at final destination till 10PM after starting our travel close to 2AM

Overview of Spirit Airlines
Based in Fort Lauderdale, Spirit Airlines has a wide-reaching network of hubs across the United States and offers international travel to the Caribbean, Central America and South America. Secondary hubs in Chicago, Detroit, Orlando, Las Vegas, Dallas and Atlantic City enable the carrier to operate a broad range of domestic services within the United States. Colombia, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic are among the countries with regularly scheduled flights.
Spirit Airlines positions itself in the aviation market as an ultra-low-cost carrier. Operating costs are minimalized by using their network of bases and offering streamlined onboard amenities. Extras such as seat selection, refreshments and checked baggage are not included in the standard fare. It is renowned for reliable, on-time departures and draws a customer base that are keen to get to their destination quickly.
All passengers are situated within a singular Economy cabin. You can upgrade to a Big Front Seat, which is essentially Premium Economy, featuring an additional 6 in of legroom and reinforced padding. Located at the front of the cabin, the Big Front Seats are ideal for working-on-the-go and either have aisle access or a window view.
Airbus is chosen as the preferred manufacturer, making up the entirety of the fleet. The A320 and A321 families of aircraft are used for the majority of services. Unmistakable with any other carrier, the Spirit fleet is painted in a bold yellow design that has been labelled the taxi livery. Check underneath the pilot window to see if the plane you’re traveling on has a name. Some examples include Spirit of the Americas and Spirit of Orlando.
