Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Awful! Worst experience from the beginning to the end. Rude staff, a disgusting airplane. You have to pay extra for everything, even to have wifi. I felt like I was on a bus. 100 for a carry bag just because I had a little backpack. Not recommended at all!

This was my first experience flying Spirit Airline and surely my last!!! I purposely booked a nonstop flight so I wouldn't have to worry about lost luggage and Spirit found a way to lose my bag on a nonstop flight. It was never loaded on the plane! Got there 3 hours early and paid $125 for the bag because it was overweight and they didnt even load it! I cant get a live person to speak with and the ticket counter said I had to fill out a baggage claim online. Terrible customer service!! Not only that, the internet didnt even work. Paid 15.99 for streaming and it didnt work! Flight attendant said it appears to be down AFTER I PAID and had to fill out an online form to get a freaking refund. Also, I just wanted a freaking cup of water and I had to pay 4.99 for a 16 ounce bottle of water. The seats were hard, tight, and didnt recline. They make it seem like they are so cheap but by the time you pay for checked and carryon bags, assigned seats, and internet service you are paying the same thing as other airlines. Not to mention all the smoke on the dern plane before takeoff making people cough. Being disgusted with this airline is an understatement.…

The airline itself is ok but the checkin agent at Myrtle beach needed a refresher course in customer service. Rude and angry, maybe she should eat a snickers bar.
