    Horrible!!
    Jess M.

    At all possible cases, DO NOT USE Spirit Airlines. My mom's flight was supposed to be yesterday at 8:34pm Bur arriving Las Vegas 9:48pm. We were there at Burbank airport at 6pm. We waited and waited and waited for a flight delay that 11:30pm. Then there was no crew and no pilot and past midnight they are still looking for a crew but they have a pilot. They gave us a $50 voucher and we rebooked for the next day. Wow! $50 and then we get to the airport today and then they charge us $54 for a carry on!! What in the world for what! Either "you pay online $54 now or your mom pays at the gate for $79(in a threatening tone)." You don't want to stress at the gate. Wtf Again best to pay extra for a nice Southwest or JetBlue flight then deal with Spirits ineptitude and unwilling to do much! You get what you pay for but then they upsell you so you think you get cheap flights but they lock you in with cheap service and you end up paying for BS service for same price you would have with Southwest or JetBlue. In the spirit of things, stay away from Spirit and fly other airlines for sure.

    A really interesting, mixed experience with Avelo, and it almost seems pointless to review them now…read morethat they left the West Coast. I will try to mix this review as both the company as a whole, and the Burbank location, as I had a much better experience with the location in Arcata, CA. Firstly, the price. Man oh man, there is absolutely no better price for an airline ticket that I have experienced since. I believe I had a $15 round-trip ticket from Burbank to McKinleyville and back once. That alone would give them a 5 star, no questions asked. And if I had reviewed them directly after my first few flights, this would be 5 stars. Let me get to the negatives, and circle back to the positives. My main concern was my most-recent visit to the Burbank location, and obviously the last one I will ever do because they closed (I even had a ticket to use that they cancelled on my with no warning but that's a separate issue). Active-duty military get two free checked bags. At the time I was active-duty, and this wasn't my first time using my military ID with them, and the other few times went off without any hitch whatsoever. But this time, the lady at the checked bag area said that my ID said an incorrect birthday. To her credit, the DOB is printed in black, and it overlays the black and white photo of me on it, so it's hard to see. She confused the 5 in "1995" for a 6, and said that my ID is invalid. I told her if she looked harder it is obviously a 5, but she accused me of essentially having confirmation bias and only seeing a 5 because I want there to be a 5. It's a government issued ID I was using for years to that point to get onto literal military bases. She then said I had to pay for my luggage. The problem with that is she is essentially accusing me of having a fake ID, military no-less. That's a federal crime, so if she truly believed that, she should have called the police. But instead it was just grounds for not wanting to give me a bag check. The ironic part of the "confirmation bias" is funny because she would ask a coworker and instead of saying, "what number do you think this is?" She would instead ask "This looks like a 6, right?" What coworker would say anything other than yes? After asking to see someone higher up (probably the only time I have ever done that in my life actually), one eventually came and saw me, told me my ID was good, gave me a checked bag, and just recommended I asked to military to issue me a new ID with a more clear 5. They never did because it was obviously a 5 and that would count as wasting time. I was worried the entire trip about the checked bags for the plane ride home, but it went off literally without a hitch. I guess that happens when people can tell the difference between a 5 and a 6. My last point that I want to bring up is that I had one more round-trip planned with them, but the cleared out of the West Coast way earlier than they said they would. That meant they gave me a flight credit of roughly $100 for an airline I could never use again. It took me many back-and-forths with the customer support team to finally get that money back not as a credit, but they eventually did it. So mainly, this airline was mostly pretty good, but gave me one very sour experience where they implied that I was some criminal, but not only criminal enough to not give something they said they would. That experience was a one star, most of the experiences are in the 4-5 star range, but the dishonest early closing brings them down to a 3, which I would argue should be a 2 but like I said, I got a $15 round trip once. That is amazing!

    Paid additional $5 for flex to be able to cancel flight, day of tried to cancel the app wouldn't…read moreallow me too it kept spinning, I tried calling couldn't get through, no one answered.

Just arrive 20 minutes before your flight and they take care of everything. My favorite part is that they have their own security so you don't have to go through the regular tsa security. No self parking, you can valet or just uber here. Good snacks and coffee while you wait. They are not the same as flying private but so much better than commercial first class due to less time wasted at the airport. I'm a big fan!

    Quick weekend trip? Just do it!…read more This was my first time flying JSX and his 1200th. We took a quick weekend trip to San Francisco. the flight went to Oakland and SF was a quick 20 minute uber ride. This flight was actually more cost effective than first class on a highly rated airline. Love that! Plenty of leg room on the flight. Just an FYI the seats afe in a 2/1 configuration and are a bit smaller than standard 1st class on a commercial airline but not dealing with long security lines and crowded lounges was definitely worth it! The App is very smooth for booking just like other airlines with the exception that you can't go back a step when booking. If you want to change something you have to start all over. The staff was very nice upon arrival we dropped our bags and showed our IDs and sat on the lounge with drinks while we waited. Both the indoor and outdoor lounges are very comfy with plenty of seating!(couches cubby chairs high tables etc. ) Be sure to arrive no less than 20-30 minutes before your flight departure.

My complete and utter failure to win the lottery has me watching these oh so lucky travelers with quite a bit of envy. They roll up in the Escalade, and walk ten feet or so into a private aircraft (most often the assistant (s) has delivered the luggage) the plane buttons up and roars off to no doubt an exotic location where more luxuriating occurs (at least that's the way I imagine it). For those of us in the medical transport game, these private terminals are where we get fuel and meet our ambulance to head off to the referring hospital. Some are spartan affairs offering a clean bathroom, some hard candy, or fresh baked cookies. Other are quite big and decked out In the case of our stop in Burbank it was Million Air, and Million Air terminal is one of those decked out places. It was immediately apparent when we pulled in that we were the poor cousins in our King Air. From G650's to Global Expresses and all manner of planes in between there was probably 150 million at least parked around us (and yes one had an Escalade unloading people). This review is from the perspective of someone who get out of the plane and uses the facilities. I cannot comment on fuel prices, landing fees, or how the ground handlers were. Inside, the terminal was clean and well appointed. the furnishings were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean, and had the biggest bottle of Listerine I have ever seen. For us the big plus was the food. They had a mini 7-11 like set up with fountain drinks, snacks, and donuts that are on the house. It hit the spot. The staff was friendly as well.

It's small, straightforward, and you can get from the curb to your gate without feeling like you just completed a cardio workout. After dealing with some of the massive airports around the country, I definitely appreciate that. The baggage claim being outside caught me completely off guard the first time. I walked out and thought, "Wait...we're doing luggage out here?" Apparently that's just part of the old-school Burbank experience. The airport is actually replacing the current terminal soon, and the new facility will move baggage claim indoors. Andddd...OLD SCHOOL is definitely the description for the current facility. It's dated and looks every bit of its age. Nothing about it feels modern or luxurious, but everything functions and I'll take efficient over pretty when I'm trying to catch a flight. Food is where BUR could definitely do better. There are some restaurants and grab and go options in both terminals, but compared with larger airports the selection is pretty limited, especially depending on which terminal you're flying from. But honestly, I understand why people love this airport. It's compact, low stress, and you're not spending 30 minutes just trying to figure out how to get from security to your gate. Dated? Absolutely. Limited food? Yep. But the sheer convenience of BUR makes up for A LOT.

My recent experiences with Southwest and Phoenix was not pleasent. In the past the flights were punctual, communication was good, and boarding and unboarding was swift. This last experience was not the same. My short flight from Burbank, was delayed approximately 45 minutes. Mind you the flight is only 45 minutes long. My return flight was also delayed for about the same time from Phoenix. We were never informed why our flights were delayed and there were no apologies. Also, I noticed the staff was unfriendly. A trademark of SW is that the staff tend to be upbeat and friendly. Lastly, the new seating process is horrible- to get better seats you must pay- those who pay board first. Well, that is the thought process, but paid more and still I was in section 7 of 8 for boarding. This create a mess when people are trying to get around others and dealing with luggage. Given my recent experience- and the fact that SW is no longer a budget airline based on price, I will probably resort to other airlines.
