    In March of this year, 2020, my wife and I had booked a flight to Maryland to see my family whom I had not seen in three years. I purchased tickets before the coronavirus brought chaos to our country. When I realized we were not going to be able to make the trip, I try to rebook or get a reimbursement for the flight. I was told that I could rebook the flight within 90 days but they could not reimburse me for the flight.

    During the next three months, I tried to call or follow the prompts on the website. The message on the phone said for customers to wait until we were closer to date of our flight because of high volume and then it hung up. With no Success, my time was running out to rebook the flight. I finally reached someone on the last day of the 90 day period. The agent was nice and gave me a Voucher code and explained that I had three days to make the change. The very next day I tried to call and even went back to the website and could not use my voucher code. When I finally got through after waiting 1 to 2 hours for an agent. I try to explain what happened and how I could not get through or use the website. The agent was not courteous or understanding and basically told me that I lost my money. The fact that I lost my Job because of the coronavirus, losing the money for this flight was hurtful and unacceptable to me and my wife.

    This is not how you treat customers especially during a pandemic. I will never fly on Frontier Airlines again and I will be sharing with my friends and on other website reviews on how I was treated. I wasn’t wanting my money back and all I asked for was to please help me rebook this flight. During this pandemic there should have been more reasonable service and acceptance to what the customer had to put up with as well. I have flown to other countries and across the United States and I even used Frontier Airlines in the past, But I will never encourage anyone to fly with again. Frontier

    I cancelled my booking in mid March 2020, I had a 90 credit which expired per email June 18, went to use this credit July 1 and it expired. Called customer service, and they refused to reissue credit or have me speak to a manager and then hung up on me. Spoke to 2 other reps and they told me my credit had expired and was considered lost. There refused to extend my credit or offer a resolution to this issue, I am seeking further resolution from my credit card company as this is taking money for a service not provided. This is a form of stealing, and the company seems to be ok with this.

    I live in New Jersey, I booked a flight for March 2020 to Cancun and the US went into lockdown because of the pandemic. I tried getting a refund and couldn’t I called customer service for days and no answer. I ended taking a credit and then converted into miles. I booked a new flight for August 2020 to Cancun and this time using the miles and but I still had to pay out of pocket for taxes and fees. Later to find out frontier canceled that flight and was offering credit again. I called and this time connected with customer Service based out of the Philippines. That representative was very nasty and aggressive when I asked for a refund for both flight the March and august flights. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they told me they don’t have a supervisor and laughed at me. Do not use frontier airlines.

    After charging me for everything possible, including $32 for a carry on and even buying travel insurance I got screwed bad. To make the story short I had to cancel because of the big increase on coronavirus cases at the country I was traveling to. I got $54 return in credit to use on my next travel. Frontier charge me $95 for cancelation plus the cost of the ticket, plus the cost for the luggage....and gave me $54 credit to use it within 90 days. Never again garbage company....never again.

    Booked flight in January 2020 to fly March 2020. Less than a week after booking return flight was pushed back 3 hours. In March, had to cancel because of Covid. Was given 90-day voucher. Could not find flight to rebook. Flights were double-triple the amount of voucher or had 20+ hour layovers. Customer service through facebook sent generic responses that were no help. Phones constantly disconnected. Emailed senior management and they were no help. I willing to give extension on voucher. They are stealing people's money left and right, just check out the Facebook page called "I hate Frontier." It's terrible! Will never fly, book a flight with them again.

    I purchased r/t airfare from Cle to Las Vegas for my mother on 2/7/2020 for a mid-May trip. Due to Covid-19, we cancelled the trip on 3/24/2020 as all of Vegas was shut down and asked for a full refund. Instead, we were issued a credit "shell" which had to be redeemed within 90 days of issuance. Needless to say, Covid-19 is still blazing and my 80 year old mother no longer feels comfortable traveling by air. I stayed on hold with Frontier for over an hour on multiple days as our "credit" was expiring to get a cash refund just to be told that the only solution was for my mother to book flights and keep cancelling within 60 days until she felt safe flying. What kind of nonsense is that? And now, the credit HAS expired! I want her $356.30 back. She's not going to be traveling for a long time. Don't book with this airline. You'll regret it.

    Due to Covid19 virus I cancelled a March 13th flight to Las Vegas. I accepted 60000 miles for my $235.00 flight. However, now I try to book using the miles but part of the booking process requires contact information including zip code. Yet when I try to enter that info I get a do not enter symbol on my cursor, and can go no further. Yet book the same flights using CASH, and no problem whatsoever. Could it be they want new money, not the money they already have in their pockets? Contacted them twice by email, weeks later received reply to phone them. Yet after reading reviews here and elsewhere I will not spend hours on the phone. I have contacted Better Business Bureau in Denver, and will contact the District Attorney of Denver to lodge a complaint.

    I paid over $1300 for my family of 4 to fly. Due to Covid-19 our trip needed to be postponed. I used Frontier website to cancel the trip and received a customer credit for the full amount. When I went to use my credit they told me it expired "ONE day ago!" I was put on hold for 3 hours waiting to speak to a customer service rep, then a manager, and they both told me that my money was forfeited because I didn't re-book within 90 days of canceling! We are in a global pandemic and I live in a state with very high Covid infection rates, re-booking travel has not been my first priority. I can't believe they will not work with me. Frontier Airline is a thief and I will never use them again.

    Never flying with Frontier again. I had 2 plane tickets for April which got cancelled due to COVID-19 and only had 3 months to reschedule. Couldn't get a refund OR time extended to use my $600 worth of tickets. I tried booking for next year already but somehow the cheapest I could find is $100 OVER my credited amount.

    I had to cancel 2 flights because of covid. They gave me a credit and then forced me to book within 3 months instead of giving me a refund. I booked a flight that used half my credit even though I still do not want to fly. Then I received an email that I could transfer my credit to miles, which I thought I did. However, I did NOT receive any miles in my account because they said I used part of the credit so that promotion wasn't valid for me anymore. Then they took the rest of my credit saying it was unusable since I used part of it. It was almost $1,000 that they took from me. They are thieves.

    Frontier should change the logos on their planes from pictures of cute animals to dollar signs. The date for returning my 2 grandchildren to their parents fell at a time when Covid19 hit Arizona hard. I asked Frontier to change our return flight to a later date and to waive their change fee. I explained that my daughter works on the ICU Covid19 floor at a large hospital in Phoenix and the children would be safer staying with me 1 month or so longer. Frontier refused all 3 waiver requests even though I let them know that the tickets had $450 in upgrades and that I had found non-stop tickets with another airlines for less than Frontier's change fee. It is clear to me Frontier cares nothing about the welfare of children.

    Due to COVID 19 our flight was canceled by Frontier. They issued a "credit" but had to use in 90 days. Well shocker, they had so limited of flight selections once quarantine broke, almost impossible to use. Could find one flight for 2 of the 7 passengers. After the fact, told because 2 used their flight "credits" all other credits were forfeited (ie the 5 other travelers lost their flight to the tune of $1100). Almost impossible to get someone on the phone and then when we could talk to a human, told nothing further they could do. Thieves the whole lot of them.

    Not only they will change your flights time multiple times. The latest change I’ve got was a over 10 hours change (from my original booking). And as the worst airline they are, they won’t provide you any compensation or refund! They don’t even care AT ALL about you. If you try to contact them: good luck! Impossible via Instagram as they are limited the comments (wonder why?!) Emails are taking forever to be answer and if you call... Try 13 times without an answer. I tried again one more time and stayed over 2h30 on hold!!!! Yes you read it correctly!! When finally got someone, didn’t even care. They did not care and left me stranded. Never ever again, no matter how low the fair is, no matter the number of stops I need to have. NEVER again Frontier.

    Flight was fine, arrived back at Charlotte after fun/family trip to Denver to find that one of our checked bags was lost. Frontier has nobody at baggage claim to assist. We finally went back to ticket agent and was promptly told that I needed to go back downstairs because bags for our flight were on the carousel. I explained for a second time that our bag was not there at which point the ticket agent audibly sighed, rolled her eyes and said she was going to go check. Several minutes later I see this agent come back up the steps with a visibly upset young lady in tow who was also missing a checked bag. Mind you, at no time does this agent offer any type of apology, just immediately tells both of us that this isn’t a “big deal”.

    I’m speechless for a moment at the insensitivity and plain dismissive was of this representative. She proceeds to rip off a couple forms and hands them to my and this young lady and tells us to fill out this form. I’m tired from a long day of travel, I’m a bit stressed from this situation and I have a college degree...I have no clue what some of the information is being asked for on this form and the agent appears put out when I ask for clarification. We get this form filled out and the agent then takes the form and starts entering the information on the computer (why require me to fill out this form if you are only going to enter this information with me standing there).

    The agent then says that everything is done and we can leave. I ask for a case number or some copy of the report to which I am rebuffed. I insist and the agent reads back the information I recorded and asks if that is correct. I ask for a copy of the information entered into the computer, the answer I get is that she doesn’t know how to print a copy off. I’ve had it by this point and against better judgment we head to the parking lot to retrieve our car and head to our hotel for the night.

    The next morning we had our for our home in Charleston and on the way my wife decides to call and check on the status of our lost bag. She speaks with an agent after several attempts (the phone system at Frontier is amazingly bad). A report has been generated and we are assured that we will be receiving an email shortly. Sometime that afternoon after we have made it safely home, I receive an email stating that our bag was located at CLT and that we will be contacted shortly by a courier.

    One small problem, the name listed for the owner of the lost bag is not even close to my name... I guess the ticket agent from the night before wasn’t as competent as she insisted she was. The email from Frontier says that the case is now closed but provides a link to the courier service. I follow the link, verify our address, add my phone number and correct the name. Later I receive another email stating we will receive tracking information once the bag is picked up for delivery.

    The next morning (36 hours since the bag was first reported as missing) I receive an email from the courier stating that my bag was picked up at CLT and delivery was promised by 22:00. You can guess what happens next, no bag delivered. At apx 10:00 today, now 60+ hours since the bag reported missing, I check the tracking information which has not changed other than saying the bag was promised to be delivered by 22:00 yesterday. There is no phone number listed anywhere to call the courier but there is an email contact which I utilize inquiring about delivery.

    I receive a reply around noon stating that there is no ticket for bag pick up from Frontier and that I need to call Frontier. So I call Frontier again, am placed on another 20-30 minute hold after which the rep from Frontier says she is unable to reach anyone at the courier but hopefully I should hear from the courier “sometime” this afternoon and I “might” have my bag “soon”. I’m not holding my breath.

    My family and I had plans to travel to Mexico from St. Louis, MO on June 16, 2020 but we had to cancel because of the Coronavirus. We were told on three separate occasions that they would issue a refund. This was in March. When we still didn’t have the refund by May we called back and I sent an email. I received an email back stating that we would not be getting a refund but credit for future use and we had to rebook by June 10, 2020. We attempted several times to rebook by the June 10th deadline but every time we tried to apply the credit code provided it said that there was no available credit to use.

    We attempted to call Frontier Airlines numerous times throughout this week and almost every time we called we received a message that said the wait time is over 30 minutes long and to please call back later. The one time my husband got through he was hung up on. I sent another email on June 10, 2020 and was told that our credit expired June 10, 2020 at 2:45 am. I read several other similar complaints on Tripadvisor. Now my family and I are out over $1,000.00.

    On 5/27, we booked our hotels and booked our flights to Vegas using our Frontier credit code on the Frontier website. I printed out my itinerary and went about my business. On Monday, (five days later), I get on my frontier profile and it says there are no flights found. I called customer service and wait on the line for one hour and twenty-five minutes before I get someone. They tell me my reservation isn’t there and I have to rebook online, or they will charge me a fee!At this point I am irate! Why would my itinerary print with my flight info and it not go through? Instead of being charged for a rebooking fee, I go online and the non-stop flights in question are not even available. They were either cancelled or changed. Not just that but the only flights that are available are DOUBLE what I paid!

    I call Frontier again and this time wait on the line for one hour and forty-six minutes. The customer service representative tells me that a lot of people who received credits haven’t had success rebooking their flights and that she would waive the rebooking fee. Then proceeds to tell me that they won’t honor my itinerary or prices from my original booking. Four round trip tickets from Nashville to Vegas had originally costs $404.80, they were now going to charge me $828.00 (flights that were non-stop. The representative then put me on hold to talk to her superior. Once I was put on hold they hung up and didn’t call back.

The other people I was flying with got their refund, but I didn't, so I called a month later.

    FRONTIER AIRLINES refuses to take accountability for failure to inform customers in a timely manner that our flight was cancelled as well as failure to advise customers that they had an option “not to fly” and to be reimbursed. We experienced issues to and from our destinations. Several hours in delays, with confirmations that our flight would be en route soon, only for the airline to announce at closure of the airport that our flight was cancelled and to come back tomorrow. Agents disappeared after the announcement, with no further instruction. We had nowhere to sleep.

    We returned the next day and inquired about a refund. We were told it was not possible, followed by more delays with the new flight and offered a 10$ voucher for food and asked to be patient. In addition, while monitoring screens, during one of our flights, our gates changed several times without notice from FRONTIER AIRLINES, causing us to travel back and forth through the airport like cattle. One of us, a Senior with hearing aids, high cholesterol-requiring frequent washroom breaks, Cancer and who had a recent hip replacement - very difficult on him to navigate to and fro, not to mention we were travelling to say goodbye to his dying mother. When we asked about support for him FRONTIER AIRLINES client services exhibited irritation and unprofessional behaviour and no support was offered for our senior who also served in the Army - Very disappointing.

    A $100 voucher with a less than 4 months to expiry was offered (laughable), which I rejected thinking I would deal with this issue once I returned home, of which I did. This happened in September and October of 2019, with still no resolve to this day, FRONTIER AIRLINES email response was/is; “since I took the flight, there’s nothing we can do. We hope you will fly with us soon” disregarding my email completely, which you can imagine was lengthier and more detailed than this complaint. A refund, a proper voucher or perhaps even a little kindness and understanding would have served fruitful. I have travelled all over the world on a budget and otherwise. This was my first FRONTIER AIRLINES experience and I will advocate accordingly as this, at 43 years, was the most abhorrent travel experience and definitely my last with FRONTIER AIRLINES.

    I booked three tickets on Frontier Airline for June 2020 $340.60. On April 5th Frontier cancelled my flight. I called and talked to their customer service and they assured me I would receive a credit on the card I booked the trip. Today I received an email stating I had "chosen" to receive a travel voucher instead of a credit on my card. I called their customer service and said I never agreed to a travel voucher. I asked for proof I made that agreement and said said no, it was confidential. The customer service rep said they would NOT issue a credit against my credit card. I filed a dispute with my credit card company but I should not have to go through that hassle. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU BOOK FRONTIER!! They will keep your money even if THEY cancel the flight. They also said I had to use the credit within 90 days.

    They booked my flight through Volaris since they referred to this as “Co-Sharing “ with another REPUTABLE AIRLINE. Upon my arrival to the airport I was informed by Volaris Agents that my flight had been canceled and that there would be no more flights until April 5 and they said that they would fully refund my money but when they searched in the system the Agents informed that since my ticket was purchased through Frontier They assured me I would be entitled to a full refund. I felt a great sense of relief after their reassurance therefore during my call to Frontier after being placed on hold for almost 4 HOURS I was told by an extremely unfriendly representative that according to their records the flight was never canceled therefore I was not entitled to a refund.

    I attempted to explain to her that 4 Volaris Agents had assured me that the flight was absolutely canceled. She rudely made it appear as if I was being dishonest. The thought that an airline would be so unreliable and keep my money that I worked hard for just demonstrates the lack of credibility this Company has and the lack of professionalism they maintain. During a crisis (Covid-19) Which our world is facing at this moment is clearly disappointing.

You do nothing while canceling other airlines-bus companies. We need money now, we cannot even get our salary from the workplace. What you do is inhuman. While you are first in the world with the speed of virus spread, do you still dream of flying? Our ticket to the United States from Turkey were canceled, and we're not there.

    I booked 1/7/20 for $507.92. This was for 4 roundtrip tickets from Nashville to Orlando on March 27, returning April 4. My initial booking confirmation was -----. March 13, I received notification that my reservation was cancelled. I called Frontier and she told me to use that reservation code as a credit to rebook because she didn't know why it would have cancelled, which I did. I booked and received notification within 24 hours that my reservation was cancelled a couple other times (reservation codes -----, -----, and -----). The last time I rebooked (same flights, dates and passengers each time), my confirmation was -----. I have not received notification from Frontier, but online and via app, as of today, this reservation is now no longer active as well. I do not wish to rebook with all this COVID-19 mess and Orlando being shut down now too. I am just seeking my full refund of the $507.92.

    I spent 4 hours on the phone waiting and then finally spoke with a representative tonight. During my conversation tonight, the lady informed me that because I INQUIRED about cancellations, that is why I was automatically cancelled each time. Though my inquiry was just that, an inquiry...with questions. I have never heard of an airline or any business cancelling a reservation because a customer inquires with questions. And I'm glad I checked or I wouldn't have known until I went to check in online or showed up with my family at 4:30am Friday morning. This is absurd. After much debate, she told me that she would credit $244.86 (credit code: -----) and $333.06 (credit code: -----).

    She then informed me that this money had to be redeemed within 90 days, yet the email I received from Frontier today said any cancelled flights would have until December 31st to be used/booked. The earliest I can go anywhere again would be late March 2021, and flights are not available to be booked that far out within 90 days from now. I asked to speak with a manager and she agreed. Then after another long hold period she came to the phone and told me again to hang on and hung up the phone. I've also checked online since and it says all credits/vouchers codes are six digits, so I'm questioning if the $333.06 she gave me is even correct or usable -- she also has not emailed me anything confirming this credit either.

    The COVID-19 virus is a global pandemic, and it is increasingly worsening here in the USA, as you are very aware; therefore, all travel has been discouraged. I am also a healthcare provider and have been asked to remain on the frontlines instead of going on vacation -- which is why I keep inquiring about details and cancellations, credits, refunds, possibilities.

    Per a Frontier email I received today, I should also be getting a $200 additional credit voucher towards future flights ($50 per passenger) -- none of which is listed on my Frontier login via website or app, and I do not have any credits pending. I just want my money back for this unrendered service. (And now I am going to go ahead and cancel all other reservations for this trip as well since Frontier has decided for me for certain by cancelling my flights.)

    Please just refund my money Frontier! (If that is absolutely impossible, please extend the deadline so that I may use for spring 2021.) I am so upset by the consumer being punished, flights being cancelled without consent, credits not being given accurately, insufficient time frames to rebook -- having to argue to get near what I paid as a credit, and zero possibility of refunds. This trip is not cancelled on account of me the consumer, yet I am being punished.... I would much rather be flying with Frontier to sunny Orlando, beaches and Disney World.

    My inquiries to cancel were based solely from a national/governmental/cdc standpoint and possibly needing to stay behind to help care for these infected patients in my area, yet my family is being punished and financial status being jeopardized. I do not understand, for this is a very poor way of doing business. None of this makes sense, I've never heard of a business performing like this, and all other major airlines are also offering 12 months to rebook (just like today's email from Frontier said as well).

    The lady I spoke with tonight told me that as Frontier changes their policies with COVID-19 often, my deadlines may naturally be extended. But with emails I've received, it has been very clear that changes made pertain to AFTER emails are received and within a certain timeframe; whereas, my issue is now consider PAST. I have many friends, family and colleagues that fly with Frontier. We would like to continue doing so. Please render customer service and help correct this asap.

From the desk to the pilots, I have gotten nothing less than respect and quite a few smiles. To ask if I would use Frontier again would get you a definite yes. I traveled from San Antonio to Orlando on my last trip, the plane was a little late arriving in San Antonio and we were already going to get in late, but to my surprise we not only got to Orlando on time, we got to Orlando ahead of time.

    I purchased a flight 3/13/20 and decided that it wasn’t safe for me, especially being pregnant, to travel due to the nationwide/worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19. I spoke with a representative regarding a refund. He explained they are not honoring refunds, but offering a credit. I thought a credit would be reasonable considering that I fly with Frontier very often. He also explained that the credit can only be used one time and may only be used towards a flight with equal or greater value. I was upset because they were advertising credits, however, if I were to purchase a future flight lesser than the amount I have the credit for, then the rest of the credit will be lost.

    Frontier offers cheap flights regularly. I once found a flight for $9 from MCO-ISP. I didn’t think that it was fair to offer a credit, but if the travel date you select has for example a $9 flight, the rest of my money would be lost to the business. John with Frontier advised to go online and to read the cancellation policy. The policy did not specifically state that I could only use my credit towards a flight of equal or greater value, or the rest of my credit would be lost. John then transferred me to a supervisor, after waiting almost an hour (just to speak with a supervisor). The supervisor began the conversation with again, stating that they could not issue a refund and/or guarantee that my credit would not be wasted if I found a cheaper flight. I explained that John advised for me to look up the policy and I then explained to her that the policy doesn’t state that my credit would be partially lost if I were to find a cheaper flight than what my credit is for.

    She kept referring to the policy and I kept explaining what my concern was within the policy and how I did not want to lose any of my credit. She then started to become slightly irritated and insulted me by saying that the policy is written in plain English if I were to read it. I advised her that she did in fact insult me with her highly offensive comment. I felt it was extremely rude, offensive and highly unprofessional (as I am in the customer service field as well). She explained that I wasn’t going to get what I wanted from the company and that there wasn’t anything she can do for me. I advised her that my entire family and I fly with Frontier often and that every time I have an issue and/or concern, it is always resolved by one of the agents or supervisors. I’ve gotten monetary compensation as well as flight adjustments through the company on a number of occasions where there might of been errors with their system, flights, last minute emergencies, etc.

    She totally disregarded what I had just explained and she again stated that she couldn’t assist me with my issue/concern. I advised her that she could potentially be losing not only one customer, but my entire family as well (we do lots of business with the company and my fiancé travels through frontier multiple times a month). She thanked me and proceeded to close out the conversation with no regard to what I had stated. I then called my bank to reverse the charge. They were more than understanding and explained that due to the special circumstances regarding the outbreak of the COVID-19, they were working especially hard to resolve issues regarding refunds from businesses. I’m very taken back and am very displeased with the service from Frontier Airlines. Especially at a time of crisis in not only our country, but all over the world.

    I would expect much more from an airline at a time like this, especially since I’ve always gotten great service from them in the past. I was not expecting this outcome, especially since I was asking for something very minor. I just wanted the funds that I’ve spent to be fully credited back to me when I decide to fly again. Sadly, my family and I will not be flying with this airline again due to the poor/unfair supposed credit policy as well as the unprofessional, insulting and distasteful behavior/service that was provided to be by a supervisor. Although I will not be flying with the airline any longer, I hope that they do one day consider a fair credit policy for the sake of future travelers.

    My credit card number was fraudulently used on Frontier Airlines. I noticed the transaction and contacted Frontier Airlines customer service. I first spoke to a customer service representative and informed him of the situation. He asked to verify the name, credit card number and address for the purchase. After it was verified, he informed us that they did have a reservation using that credit card number. He told us that he could credit the money back to our account. We asked if he could provide us the information for the reservation and when it was booked. He told us he needed to review the privacy policy and put us on hold.

    When he returned, he told us that he could not provide that information to protect the privacy of the traveler. Really!!! We informed him, that whoever booked the ticket, did so by using our credit card number without our permission. We then asked to speak to a supervisor twice and he said the supervisor was not available and then he said they would tell us the same thing. We then told him we no longer wanted to speak to him and then he said he would not transfer us to a supervisor until we verified our name. We had verified our name when we called but was told that he would not transfer us until we verified it again.

    We then spoke to the supervisor and she told us that it would violate the traveler’s privacy if she gave us the information of the passenger. We went back and forth about this for about five minutes and finally asked her if she could cancel the reservation because our card was used illegally. She told us that she could not cancel the reservation because we did not have the confirmation number or name of the passenger. We would need to contact our back to get a refund.

    This has been our first and last experience with this company. We have never flown or associated with Frontier Airlines and after this experience, we never will. We were on the phone with customer service for approximately 35 minutes and this situation was just brushed off and we were encouraged to take it up with our bank.

    My flight was delayed from Washington DC to Denver because of weather for 2 1/2 hours on 02/07, flight 537. There was 12 of us on that flight that needed to catch the connecting flight to Ontario flight 371... We would of made it but then we pilot made the announcement that we will be in a “holding pattern” in the air for 20 minutes which had us landing right when doors would close for flight 371. Instead of holding the doors knowing there was 12 passengers about the land, they closed it right away and left us. Later we heard out tickets were possibly sold already and that’s why they didn’t wait (what a scam that is). Ironic that they can make us wait 2 1/2 hours but can’t wait 10 minutes for us to run across the airport?? I’ve seen other airlines hold their doors knowing their passenger will be landing within minutes and not leave them behind, this gave all of us the indication that they probably DID sell our seats to others.

    I had a very important work event the next morning and by the time I got to the line the only flight left that night that landed in LAX, over an hour away from Ontario was booked and they would not compensate me for anything. I had to spend 400 dollars catching a flight out that night on Southwest so I can make this trip. A couple of weeks later I attempted to call customer service for any sort of compensation for my $342 flight plus paying $250 for seat upgrade since leg room in little to none- $590 total not including the $400 I spent catching another flight. I received $88 in return the following week BUTTT worse part- then I checked my credit card and saw they charged me $97 for no reason 3 days before giving me my refund!!!

    When I called to ask them why they charged me they had no excuse only that they would put that back in my card in 7 days! Pretty much they tried to charge me and then “refund” me so they wouldn’t come out of pocket and hope I didn’t see the charge!!! Complete thieves and the most shady crap I’ve ever seen. In conclusion I would never recommend Frontier to anyone and I feel bad for their employees because if they keep pulling this crap, they will do out of business very soon and a lot of people would be out of a job.

Because I use this card sparingly, I recently realized I had failed to make the required purchase by only two weeks, so Frontier expired all of my mileage. I contacted them and they told me "tough luck pal". I asked if they could give me back even part of the miles and the answer was no.

    I had written a review in January. I was very pleased to get a note from Frontier Air stating that "Miles" from its program that were about to expire are being given new life: They won't expire. They explained that Frontier is going the extra mile, so to speak during these hard times and won't let my miles expire. If the miles are to expire at some time in the future, they will notify me 90 days prior. Good for Frontier Air. Much appreciation your way. Thank you! Rob of Madison, WI

    Original Review: Jan. 28, 2020

    I have been a Frontier Airlines Master Card, Frequent Flyer points holder for almost 3 years and have had nothing but headaches with Frontier Airline’s system. In these three years I have never been able to find workable flights for the standard locations in the U.S. for the dates I was required to travel. The first problem is Frontier’s website. In attempting to choose a flight, a calendar appears in order to select dates. Today I attempted to book a flight from my home city; with population greater than 250,000 to San Diego. I chose a date in March which is more than six weeks away. Some of the dates on the March calendar are in green, some are in grey. March 12 was “green” date. I chose it. My desired return date March 19, was a “grey” date.

    There were no flights that would bring me back on March 19. So I chose a later date. I was shown what the departing and return flight schedule looked like. The departure flight was 10.5 hours, much longer than a direct flight or even other one intermediate airport stop flights. The Return flight was 21.5 hours to get back from San Diego to my home city in Wisconsin. So to fly Frontier I would have needed to extend my trip by three days and then spend over 21 hours to get back home. This kind of thing happens over and over again in attempting to book Frontier flights. There is no route map that shows direct flights anywhere in Frontier’s literature or website. The helpful person at Frontier I spoke with stated that Frontier's “inventory’ changes frequently so no such map is available. Really? Frontier expects its customers to fly Frontier under this completely unworkable scenario?

    The second problem that dovetails with the above issue is regarding the Frequent Flyer Miles program. Frontier gifted me 40,000 miles if I signed up for their Barclay’s MasterCard. If you had asked me if it is difficult to complain about “Free Miles” before I signed up for this card I would have responded with a, "Huh? How could anyone complain about Free Miles?" Frontier Airlines Frequent flyer miles are not free. There is a $65 (or something close to that) annual fee for the card. Since I've never been able find flights that worked. I am now close to my THIRD payment to keep the MasterCard current; Otherwise I lose the miles.

    Secondly there is fine print in the TERMS and CONDITIONS. At the end of year #1 Frontier alerted me that my card needed to be used to keep it current. I really appreciated that note. I used the card. As the next year went by I realized I hadn’t used the card even though I had paid to keep it current. On January 3 and 4 this year I used the card a number of times. When I spoke to customer service, they informed me that the card needed to have been used and that my miles had expired on January 5. They had no record of my purchases on January 3 and 4 because Barclays had not sent the month's statement yet. Frontier offered that I could pay $100.00 to “buy back” my 40,000 plus miles.

    There was no way that Frontier would conference call with to to Barclays to straighten this out. I then called Barclays’ who also were not able to conference call to Frontier to straighten out the situation. Barclay was helpful in guiding me through the complicated steps to create User name and Password for their website so that I could get a TRANSACTION RECORD OF MY PURCHASES which showed my purchases on January 3 and 4 of this year. It was then that Barclay informed me that under Frontier’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS, that I had needed to use the MasterCard EVERY SIX MONTHS. This being so I would still need to pay the $100. to “buy back” my miles.

    In summary if I’ve understood all of this correctly; Very soon I will be making my third annual $65 payment plus pay $100 to buy my points back = total $295 paid so for for the privilege of wasting time and generating frustration at not being able to find appropriate flight, because Frontier’s priority is utilizing “Inventory” vs making their system usable and accessible to their customers? I think I will simply abandon my “Free” and accumulated Frequent flyer Miles and not fly Frontier again.

    I bought my ticket as far as I could in advance. It was about three weeks before I was to depart on January 26th, 2020. I made certain since I have a medical dog for my PTSD and COPD. He was cleared to fly in XNA (Arkansas), but DEN (Denver) stopped us wanting further proof of his service dog status. They tried to boot me from flight, but after an hour of searching, I found proof of my disabilities for them, my ministerial identification, my driver's license, his vet clearance, and the fake ID I thought to have made a year ago by one of those companies that looks official, but have no legal standing in declaring any animal a service animal.

    They refused to look at my is collar and lead that were clearly marked. They refused to check and make sure the first leg of the flight had been cleared already, and clearance has been given from the first counter to luggage pick-up in PDX (Portland), my final stop. I had, at one point, been told I was denied my flight because while flipping my ID over, I dropped it and she said I threw it at her. They refused to speak to the ticketing agent on the phone, or to the manager at the Denver outlet for Frontier.

    Just know that this one ticket counter at the gate was the only problem place for me. All others were working hard, following laws and very courteous. The flight staff were extremely helpful. The ticketing agents online very much the same, helpful and friendly. Just watch out for Denver gate agents. I have seen where they have a horrible reputation for similar things in other reviews.

    During all of this, I point out a young man vomiting all over the gate floor and passing out repeatedly on the floor (yes, into the vomit). They ignored him for a half hour, barely attempting to clean up the vomit from the carpet. They left him passed out, face down on the floor for over an hour. Just, ignored him! Just before we boarded, they finally brought in a rescue crew to clean up and cart him off. All in all, Denver just was wickedly rude and untrained as to handle any of their circumstances they were faced with. INCLUDING not telling Passengers there was a last minute gate change!!!

    I purchased a round trip ticket from Nashville to Las Vegas and then several weeks later I received an email from Frontier saying that the time of my flight had been changed, and of course the new arrival time did not work for me. I called to get my flight changed and they informed me that I had already approved the time change of my original flight. Uh no, I did not approve anything. I had to argue with a supervisor who finally agreed to give me a credit for the flight since they did not have any other flights that worked with my schedule. But I only had 3 months to use the credit (most airlines give you a year to use a credit).

    Within that 3-month time frame I tried to book a new flight later in the year using my credit but they weren't allowing any bookings more than 3 months out. What? I've never heard of an airline restricting flight bookings to 3 months or sooner. For a second time I had to argue with a supervisor to extend the deadline to use my credit.

    So I put a reminder on my calendar and then tried once again to book a flight using my credit. No luck. I needed to travel to Philadelphia on a Thursday but Frontier didn't have any flights from Nashville to Philadelphia on Thursday. None. They weren't sold out, they just simply weren't offering any flights that day. For a third time I had to argue with a supervisor to extend the deadline to use my credit. They gave me another 3 months to use it, which I appreciate, but it really should not be this difficult to book a flight on Frontier. Why is the booking time so limited? And why do they only fly to certain places on certain days? It makes me wonder if this airline is getting ready to go out of business.

    Of course, we all love a great bargain! I’m sure that’s how most of us found Frontier Airlines, but book with them at your own risk!!! I’ve flown with Spirit with no issues even after reading terrible reviews. So I thought, why not give Frontier a chance?! All these bad reviews can’t be true, right?! It’s true. They are terrible, but not completely but mostly!

    I booked a flight from DTW to SAN with a connecting flight in LAS. Flight into VEGAS was fine.. Staff was friendly. I didn’t expected anything, but to get myself/my family/our luggage to our destination safely and to be treated kindly. The flight experience itself was good. Once we landed at our final destination is when the madness begun! We arrived, but my car seat did not! Or at least it didn’t show up at the “oversized luggage” within the 2 hours I was waiting for it to show up! There were no readily available reps for Frontier anywhere Not at baggage claim nor the gates. After 8 hour of flights and the airport, this isn’t how you want to start your vacation.

    I received more help from competitors staff than with the company I booked with! I called customer service and was plainly told to fill out a form and that I would be contacted with 4 hours which I was not! I had to consistently call and follow up once the 4-6 mark was up! Long story short, Frontier is good only if you need to get to point A to B. Nothing more because it will be a headache. Flying with a family or just yourself, do not get anything checked because if it’s lost or delayed their staff will attempt to blame YOU! Let Frontier be the last people you fly with. LovexLight.

    They advertise themselves as a low cost airline, but their tickets were only marginally cheaper than other airlines. If you read the fine print, they also charge for cabin baggage the fee for which is higher than a checked baggage. Because of this I took the option of checking in a bag but wanted to carry it back via cabin baggage on the return, and to my horror they charged a "change fee" of $21. Beware of hidden fees that they don't tell you about. If you add all of the hidden fees, they are pretty much on par with other airlines.

    Like everyone, wanted to save money with a cheap fare but was only told about bag fees after purchase, bringing the overall cost closer to their competitors. Then the following happened:

    1. After waiting at the gate printed on our boarding passes, a different destination than our own, but with the same departure time, was displayed at the Frontier gate 10 minutes before boarding. There was no one at the desk to answer questions.
    2.Oh, except for the 2 flight attendants sitting behind a glass partition and velvet ropes, right behind the gate desk. But they continued chatting and ignoring our “hello’s” like a couple of mean high schoolers.
    3. Suddenly, an attendant arrived, rolled his eyes at our questions, then proceeded to make the boarding announcement in a cartoon voice (to mock us I guess?). The signage still showed another destination and they didn't even acknowledge the discrepancy.
    4. While boarding (btw no entertainment, food or drink without paying), a different attendant sarcastically explained how to walk, sit, and use overhead cabinets and asked us to hurry up. Even though boarding was late due to their error because there was no one at the gate until boarding was supposed to begin. Many passengers flying were elderly or children.
    5. Mid-flight, while most were sleeping, the lights were abruptly turned on for a sales pitch for their company Mastercard (with annual fees) that would earn you miles so you could fly with this uncaring, outright dismissive, nickel and dime-ing airline again in the future. The presentation resembled one of those Time Share seminars you are forced to attend at some resorts when you’d rather enjoy your vacation. But then we were the very definition of a Captive audience. The attendants walked down the aisle with applications like they were doin their safety bit. I heard sighs of disbelief and quiet laughter from behind me.

    6. And finally, 5 min before landing in New York (in January), we were told there was no gate available and we would have to use the stairs down to the tarmac and walk to the gate. Wish I’d known earlier in the flight so I could have changed my Florida flip flops for the 30 degree temperature outside.

    As we exited, they made no apologies and said no goodbyes” (why would they, they hadn’t greeted us when we boarded)....not even a smile. It all was so outrageously awful that I would have laughed if I didn’t feel so demoralized.

    We have used Frontier many times in the past and are aware that their "come-on" ads of $20 and $15 flights are nonsense but it the Trenton airport is close to our home. Our last purchase of $29 tickets to Florida cost us $450 round trip for my wife and me. Because they charge separately for seats, carry-on bags, and checked bags, I took advantage of their great offer to purchase the "Bundle" so I could save a lot of money and have the privilege of making changes to my tickets at no extra charge. It still cost me $450. When I called today to change my tickets, they told me I would have to pay an additional $600!!!! Do not waste your time with Frontier.

    My issue with Frontier is before I got on the plane. They are cheap so I expect the flight to be like bus service. However when I want to give them money, book a flight they are horrendous.

    1. Customer service, if you can call it that, is a joke. Cannot speak English, unable to answer simple questions, transfer you multiple times to people who hang up or cannot answer basic question. Example how to I book a flight with my card so my wife is the passenger
    2. The mislead you about the 40,000 miles. You have to chase them to get it on your card, it takes 3 months, and since it takes 20 to 30 minutes to get a person that understands your question you give up. I believe this is by design

    3. Website appears easy but is confusing, hard to book tickets for anyone other than the card holder.

    Do not bother. There are better easier cards with real benefits. Frontier benefits are a scam. Unfortunately I must give 1 star which is too much for these incompetents.

    Frontier Airlines canceled my flight four hours before departure and offered no other options for rebooking. When I called customer service, the soonest I could leave on any flight to any airport was 3 days later. My original trip was only four days long so I had to just accept a refund with no rebooking. When I asked why the flight had been canceled, I was lied to. I was told that my originating airport had made the decision due to a winter storm and that Frontier had no other choice but to comply with the decision and cancel the flight.

    However, when I looked online right after our conversation, I learned that many other flights were landing and taking off from the originating airport. In addition, I looked on Frontier’s website any my flight was the ONLY Frontier flight to be canceled. Many other Frontier flights were taking off from and landing at the originating airport. It’s ridiculous that my flight was canceled and my trip ruined but to be lied to adds insult to injury. Terrible customer service!

    I have never had such a terrible experience with an airline. I purchased these tickets on Frontier from a travel website as I usually do for all my air travel. I always try to find cheap tickets and have been very successful in the past. This airline misrepresents their fares. I paid $125 total for 3 return tickets for my family which I thought was a great deal. There was no warning while booking the tickets that there would be an exorbitant fee for checking baggage and carry on bags. There was no option to pay for the bags at the time of purchase, when the price is actually lower. When we got to the airport, we found out the fee for checked bags was $55 per bag. The person who checked us in to our seats did not mention the fee for carry on bags though we clearly had them with us. We could have consolidated the carry on items at that time.

    We got to the gate and there was an additional $45 per bag. So my initial $125 fee ended up becoming $512.90. I am not kidding! The bags cost 4 times as much as the passengers. I know that people in these times want and I believe are entitled to knowing how their money will be spend up front during a purchase. This airline purposely misrepresents the cost of their tickets to appear like a good deal, then charges hidden fees that are outrageous and unavoidable if you do not understand their policies ahead of time. Not to mention that I was given no warning upon initial purchase of the tickets.

    The flight was a return flight. My family used a different airline for arrival at our destination, so we did not even have an email from frontier before we went on the trip to warn us of their policies. If I had known the ticket would cost that much, I could have booked a flight on a nicer, pricier airline. This aircraft had unpadded, uncomfortable seats that don't recline. They charged for in flight beverages and snacks. That is not so unusual, but it is obvious that they want to take as much money as possible from their customers. It is just so deceitful that it comes with such low initial fees.

    When we got to our seat on the aircraft, we discovered that our three seats had also been issued to another family of three. All six of us had the same three seats (39 DEF) on our tickets. My family was seated first, so the other family of three had to wait at the back of the plane while the attendants tried to find separate open seats for them even though they had a child of 2 years old. The whole experience has left me with the desire to never book a flight with frontier again. Their fees are so deceptive, it should be illegal.

    I’ve used Frontier a couple times and felt they are very reasonable, and in some cases, downright cheap. You can’t put the seats back, but I’m actually glad since I rather the people in front of me not do it because my legs are a 36 inseam. I don’t care about perks if it means saving money. What you need to watch is the Mastercard offer that shows constantly while you are on the site and while you’re making reservations. It says it will give you 40,000 miles if you spend $500.00 with the annual fee. I needed to read the fine print because it does not include the reservation you’re making at the present time, but the next time you book. I didn’t get that until too late and I was approved.

    When I called to ask why they did not give me the 40,000 miles they told me the rule and I immediately canceled my card and now we agreed, also in the fine print, to keep and use our information for 7 years EVEN AFTER WE CANCELED THE CARD! The company was Barclays Bank of Delaware. So buyer BEWARE! They state on the offer: "after spending $500 on purchases in the first 90 days & paying the annual fee.” "Redeem for up to 2 round trip award tickets.” They do not approve you right away so I called and told them to put the payment on my new card and I would cancel the amount on the card I used since Frontier would not approve us right away which is weird since our credit is perfect. That is when I found out I could not use that transaction for my 40,000 miles.

    On a Frontier Airlines flight from Cleveland to Sacramento, the airline ended up cancelling one leg of my flight (from Denver to Sacramento, 10:48pm departure time). They had us board the plane, wait for about a half-hour, then de-boarded us due to not having a pilot scheduled to fly the plane. They kept us in the waiting area for about an hour under the guise of it just being a delay, but then finally conceded the flight was cancelled (near midnight now). Then it took about another hour for them to figure out what to do. They told us we would get hotel rooms and provided us with a pamphlet on our 2 options. Option 1: rebook on Frontier (their next flight to Sacramento was 2 DAYS later). Option 2: follow a link they provided to book a flight with another airline (had to be on their specific website if we wanted up to a $400 reimbursement check to be mailed several weeks later).

    Flights were filling up fast, so I booked another flight using option 2. Then, after I had booked, the customer service people said that they would only cover 1 night in a hotel if you rebooked on a Frontier flight (again, next flight 2 days later). Upon expressing the absurdity of this, they told me the only thing I could do was call their customer service hotline (I did, and they were of no help - told me to talk to the people at the counter). The customer service agents were extremely unapologetic, even telling another passenger who was now going to miss her father's funeral "sorry, that's not our problem".

    All told, I'm now out hundreds of dollars, a lot of sleep, and a full day lost due to their negligence. By the time it was all over, it was too late to find any place to eat, all inexpensive hotel rooms were already booked, and well, I was really tired and starving. I can understand that sometimes things go wrong with scheduling and flights have to be cancelled. But the cheapness, apathy, and inefficiency of their response is unforgivable. Customers should not have to pay so much extra when the situation is so clearly the fault of the airline.

    Not related to the cancellation: I noticed exposed wiring near the window in front of my seat on the previous flight. Most seats don't recline and are pretty uncomfortable. Many of the flight attendants are on the rude side (blanket generalizations over the loud speaker about how people don't clean up after themselves). And the best part - a flight attendant read, over the loud speaker, what seemed like a 10 minute long, half unintelligible, advertisement to join their Frontier Miles club. How annoying is that, given the crappy service?

    Flying with this "airline" is a nightmare. I have made reservations with them on 2 occasions and in both occasions I have ran into serious issues. The first time I ended up losing my money and having to buy a really expensive ticket with Delta airline on the spot. And the second time I made a reservation with them I attempted to make changes to my flight and their website booked a whole new ticket. And of course there are a bunch of rules setting up why I just lost my money disregarding I called them not even 5 minutes after realizing the issue. LOL!

    I had to call around 20 times to an offshore customer service located in the Philippines talking to "customer service" representatives who had no actual power to solve any of my issues, but just excuse why I had issues in the first place and provide me information I already knew. And of course: refer me back to the website that generated all my issues. "Customer service" is none existent, they would do better by just having no "customer service" at all. At least they would have eliminated all the aggravation I got as a customer and save more money.

    at the end of the day I ended up paying more money than I had paid if I had booked using a better airline. They fish you with "cheap" tickets then start charging you for every little thing. And a $56 ticket turns into $400 rather quickly. And on top of that you can't even enjoy your vacations because of the uncertainty: as soon as you realize it's completely surreal. Anything is possible with this airline. You just can't relax until it's all over. You get to the airport expecting anything, shredding your brain wondering what's the next problem.

    I flew from Puerto Rico this morning and had to wake up at 4 a.m. to catch my flight. I boarded and immediately fell into a deep sleep. An air stewardess with an attitude woke me up so I could give her my empty Starbucks cup. I politely asked her NOT to wake me up again should she see me sleeping. She immediately threatened to have me thrown off the plane. I asked why and she repeated her threat. She was then became belligerent during the flight and tried to antagonize me into a physical altercation. For the record I would destroy her in a physical fight but she wasn't worth the jail time. Is Frontier hiring folks from the hood with NO social skills whatsoever? It would seem so from today's experience. She has no idea who I am and what I do for a living. My journey with her has just begun.

    Mother In Law had flight booked to go home in time for son's wedding. She was at airport an hour and a half early however the ticket booth was closed and was told may be able to make it. She got through security and ticket rushing to gate. She was at gate in time frame to board plane according to time frame allotted on her ticket however they closed the gate on her and would not let her board. Then they tried to charge her full price to book ticket 2 days later. This woman is recovering from stroke and her experience caused her to have a panic attack increasing her blood pressure and blood sugar to dangerous levels making her feel stranded no one wanting to help her.

    I spent entire day on phone trying to get answers and resolution. After 4 attempts and being left on hold for over 30 min each time, I finally demanded supervisor. Instead of understanding and the old theory of customer being right and getting resolution, I was met with blaming my mother in law saying she checked in after the time allotted to board. However, if she checked in that late and she would not be allowed to board, why would they give her a ticket. The resolution options were even worse, if I wanted full refund, I would have to pay a fee, or pay reduced price for another ticket. I refused both because there is no way I will ever let this airline do the same thing again to my mother in law. I am utterly disgusted and disheartened knowing she will never get back the day her son gets married having to miss it because an airline wants to cut corners and refuse to follow and honor their flight times scheduled.

    It happened to us too - flight was cancelled with no warning. At least we received a text late the night before our flight was scheduled to leave at 8am. On the phone, it was a nightmare to even reach a human and when we did we were given no explanation on the cancellation (the weather was absolutely clear and this was a flight between two major hubs). When we did speak to someone, it was as if they were doing us a favor by looking into travel alternatives. As it's the holidays there were little to no alternatives and our only choice was to take a flight arriving into another state and thus having to travel an extra three hours home. No apology or common courtesy. Frontier you are officially cancelled. Buhbye!

    Luggage never arrived, there was not a baggage claim office like real airlines. Made contact with an employee who was unprofessional. Followed up with my claim for 10 days. Called 3 baggage claim locations and left multiple voicemails because I rarely got a live person on the phone. When I did, I explained that my name tag was on my co-passengers luggage. Despite the call being logged, the next live person I talked to had no knowledge of this information. Long story short, horrible customer service, they threw $200 at me which does not begin to cover the monetary or personal value of the lost luggage which is probably rotting in a warehouse with my mother's name on it.

    Frontier takes the grand prize for absolutely the worst service in America. Our flight was canceled due to snow- understandable. First, they told us the trip was not to be canceled - we checked in- then I got a text saying the flight was canceled and to keep an eye out for an email from them. 12 hours and two 30 minute call later trying to reach a human being, I still did not know what they were offering. They were offering nothing. Afraid we were going to be stuck in Denver for 10 days, we in haste booked the next available flight, which was for 5 days later.

    Realizing we needed to be home before that time, I called the next day to cancel the flights. Right now, I have been on hold for 45 minutes to speak with a manager because they want to charge me 20,000 miles and 120.00 to cancel the two flights. And I am a Frontier Cardholder. My husband is retired with a family member who is a Captain with this airline. We like to be loyal; however, on multiple occasions we have had bad service. My husband recommends we go online and blast the truth about Frontier Airlines. We will never do business with this airline again unless our points and money are returned. They are the worst company I have ever dealt with!!!

    I was scheduled to fly out on November 25th 2019 from Vermont to Florida. I arrived at the airport on time and checked in at the front desk and was told that it would be an additional $45 to check my bag, that was only a little bit bigger than the other 2 passengers that were flying with me. When I did finally get to the gate I was little frustrated because they were forcing me to pay $60 additional for my bag. This same bag I have been able to bring on other airlines at the same airport and been able to board without having to pay another 60 bucks. I work really hard to earn the money that I used to pay for this trip and was really frustrated when I was denied entry on the flight. I was visibly upset and verbally upset and was cursing, as expected. The supervisor then warned me if I didn't stop swearing I wouldn't be allowed on the plane. So I immediately obeyed her command and handed my card to the woman At the desk and was still refused entry on the Flight.

    I then called the booking agent, who told me a different reason as to why I wasn't allowed to board which didn't include me swearing or the refusal to pay for my bag. It was because they had to readjust the flight. Yes I was out of line for swearing but when I was warned that if I didn't stop swearing I wasn't going to be allowed on the plane, I did obey what I was told to do. And was still refused as a passenger on the flight. Although this issue has been remedied it wasn't because of the airline. It was because of a family member who paid for a different flight. I even told the supervisor it was a nonrefundable ticket and I had complied with her request but she had already decided to deny all 3 of us entry. So the big corporations thrive on people like me to be able to make money on services that are never rendered.

    I will never fly with Frontier Airlines. I'm certain their feelings about it are mutual. But the story has kept changing. I had paid over $1000 for this trip and yet I was still in Vermont. It ended up costing another $500 to book with another airline. As with most people it takes a while to earn money for a trip, I don't get paid vacations, I get paid to show up. My point is that the whole day was ruined by this one interaction, I will be more careful in the future. It's unfortunate, it could have been a total loss but luckily I was able to save my other reservations. The ending could've been devastating for all involved but I'm glad I won't be flying with them.

    I am actually a fan of Frontier. I've flown on several major airlines (American, Delta, United, Korean Air, China Airlines, Cathay Pacific etc etc) economy, premium economy and Business class several times. Ive been on Spirit but Frontier is definitely better for me. Really, don't expect to be treated like royalty on the plane, you're on it to get to where you are and that's it. It's baffling for me how the interior of the plane looks better than those ghetto airplanes of large carriers (AA, United).

    I have yet to witness a flight delay. I find it funny that everytime I fly AA or United, IT'S ALWAYS DELAYED. If ever there is a delay due to weather or something regarding personnel, that's something you just can't predict. It's so funny when someone goes through an inconvenience when it's solely their fault since they don't read the fine print. I haven't interacted with anyone in customer service as I check in through my phone, get my boarding pass through the app and I pay for the carry on when I buy the ticket as I generally hate people so I try to make minimal contact.

    Frontier is the worst airline I have ever flown in my life and I've been flying for 40 years. I had a ticket to fly from Green Bay to Denver after the Packers game last Sunday night and arrived at the airport 42 minutes prior to departure. However Frontier closes their their ticket counter 45 minutes prior to departure (with no exception apparently) and the ticket counter was abandoned. Their mobile app was also down so we could not get through security to contact anyone for assistance. When the staff finally returned to the ticket counter they showed no remorse, any desire to assist us, or even common courtesy. Because Frontier only flies three times a week into Green Bay, 10 of us were stuck there until Tuesday. You would think Frontier might at least try to assist us but no such thing. Instead the staff was belligerent and combative--and actually had the plane pull away from the jetway 7 minutes early instead of boarding us. It was surreal.

    When one of the passengers asked for the names of the ticket counter staff to report them they even refused to give them - - fortunately they were wearing name tags! We eventually called the Frontier 800 number for assistance but no one answered, so instead called to their Spanish speaking number and a person did answer - in English! The decision of the staff there not to get us on the flight cost Frontier almost $2,000 in refunds--completely unnecessarily, especially since there were seats available and the flight was eventually held up by 45 minutes due to delays in Denver. I have flown Frontier several times in the last year, not by choice, but have never been on one of their flights without some sort of problem. Simply put, they are awful. I am telling everyone I know if they have any thought of flying on Frontier they need to think again. They are the worst care in the air.

However, I expect your employees to apply these policies and procedures with the utmost courtesy and professionalism -- rudeness or unwillingness to assist a customer should not be tolerated by any customer!

    My husband and I decided to see if the low fares on Frontier Airlines were really that spectacular of a deal. For our 1st flight we arrived at the airport and were handed a piece of paper IN LINE saying our flight was cancelled - to fly with them again you would have to wait 3 days (depending on the city, Frontier can have very limited scheduling). It also gave instructions for seeking a refund, etc. Apparently there was a problem with the plane coming in and no other planes were available(?). The staff person from Frontier was unwilling to help anyone make arrangements and referred people to Frontier Airlines Customer Service #. In the end, they reimbursed the cost of our tickets with another airlines and we received a $100 travel voucher. That led to this fiasco.

    We booked Frontier again to get to Denver using our voucher (plus $500). We arrived at the airport to join a VERY LONG line for check-in. There were no kiosks, nowhere to quickly get luggage tagged & head for security, and only 1 Frontier employee to check-in all of us. You could tell this staff member was in a bad mood based on her facial expressions & body posturing - her general disposition did not improve as the line got longer. My husband and I had prepaid for everything and our boarding passes were on our phones. We were ONLY in line to get 2 bags checked. As time passed, the line went nowhere. The people at the front of our line had already been in line 30 mins. There were probably 20-25 passengers behind us. It took 20 mins for the Frontier employee to get 3 persons/families on their way. She never called anyone for add'l help.

    At one point this employee expectedly decides to stop checking people in and holler/yell at everyone in line. Keep in mind the line of passengers was growing anxious & murmuring about the time/delay but by no means was anyone disrespectful or even speaking above a tone that one would use in public. No one was even talking to her except the family she was dealing with and that random person who generally believes it's not a problem to cut the line and ask questions. Her behavior was completely uncalled for. She yelled, “I am closing this line in x number of minutes! So all you people should have been here earlier!! You aren't going to make it onto your flight so you should probably look at alternative airlines for a flight out tonight!” I was appalled to say the least.

    I have never in my 25 yrs of traveling as an adult had someone checking us in who treated others this way - literally scolding other adults, and instigating dissension amongst the passengers of their airline!!! Of course this triggered some passengers who started yelling at her because for some of them THIS was their rescheduled flight out when a previous flight was cancelled. There was even someone in line who was a previous employee of another airlines who started telling the Frontier employee how the line could be expedited, how no one needed to miss the flight, and how some of things she was doing were not standard practice of any airlines.

    This staff member’s choices escalated things unnecessarily which resulted in people getting out of line, panicking on their phones, going to the counter with their paperwork to ask questions or beg...it was a mess. The Frontier employee didn't stay on task with the family in front of her and stopped to go talk to them/look at their papers/etc.

    Now she's got 5 families glued to the counter and everyone else bemoaning their decision to fly on Frontier. Then she decided it would be helpful to holler “6 Minutes! I'm shutting down in 6 minutes! You aren't going to make your flight. Everyone in line needs to make different plans..." or something to that effect. I couldn't believe it - Madness. I was surprised there wasn't a full-fledged passenger riot at that point.

    We were the last family she checked in (even though the flight had closed - which made no sense to us), but for us and the multiple families before us, she put different tags on our luggage and told us to "try to" take them through security. She knew (due to our disclosures & frustration) full well every single one of us had items in our luggage that would result in extensive delays in security due to searches of our bags with questions/discussion/removal/discarding of items needed on our trips. But we just needed to get on that plane. I don't know what happened with everyone else behind us.

    My husband and I got down to the security line as quickly as possible (I have a spinal cord implant so sprinting was not an option). I could tell the minute we saw the security line that we weren't going to make it onto the flight. All of the people in front of us from the Frontier line were only 1/2 way through the security line, even the couple with a baby who had been rescheduled when their previous flight 3 days earlier was cancelled. Passengers were still running down the corridor towards security. Within 5 mins of looking at my husband and saying, "We are actually going to miss this flight.", they issued "Final boarding call for Flight###".

    I have no idea how many of us missed that flight because of this Frontier Airline's staff member. Her incompetence, lack of professionalism, inability to stay focused, and willingness to engage in a confrontative & assuming manner with passengers was unbelievable. That's not even including her poor problem-solving abilities. On top of this, the airlines provided no other avenues or resources (such as kiosks) for those of us that just needed to check a bag or 2. This entire situation was avoidable and frankly, void of common sense. Unfortunately, there was not another single airlines offering a flight to Denver that evening.

    So what did Frontier Airlines unwillingness to set their passengers & employees up for success cost us? $2200+. Yes - $2200. We paid $501 for flight tickets with Frontier, $1275 for a last minute rescheduled flight on another airlines early the next afternoon, $300 in missed accommodations for that night, $75 in missed use of rental car, etc. So all I can say is fly Frontier if you have no luggage to check, can arrive 3 hrs before a flight's departure (passengers in our flight who were there 2 hrs before departure missed it), and don't really have to be where you booked your flight to on that particular day.

    For anyone else? The low fares add up and in the end are really not worth it. I don't need a 3rd experience to know this is not how I want to travel. We saw nothing that closely resembled their mission statement - “Our commitment to you is supported by more than 3,000 professionals who are hard-working, fun-loving and passionate about delivering on the “Low Fares Done Right" promise.” Save your money. Low fares are not enough- Customer service still counts!

    Flight 668 departing from SFO to Denver was initially delayed due to weather in Denver (10:33 AM to 11:15 AM), but then it was delayed AGAIN by the PILOT SHOWING UP LATE. Departure was delayed until around 12:30 PM. This caused us to miss a connecting flight with Frontier (flight 466) to OKC. At least 12 other passengers and I from 668 watched the aircraft leave the gate even though we were assured by Frontier staff that the flight would hold for us. We then spoke to Frontier customer service and was told that the delay was "uncontrollable" due to the weather, despite the fact that had the pilot been at the airport on time we would have been able to make the connecting flight with a half hour to spare.

    We were offered flights to either Tulsa the following day or OKC on Tuesday, with no compensation for accommodations for the wait, or half of a refund for that portion of the flight and no assistance with further booking since this delay was deemed "uncontrollable". The refusal to take responsibility for their own staff's inability to be at the airport on time cost my girlfriend and myself both a workday and the cost of lodgings. I can accept that there are things out of their control, but employees not coming to work on time and then refusal to take care of customers is completely on them and inexcusable.

    Their actions and treatment of me have lost a customer for life. I can accept unreliable service at a low frequency, but refusing to accept responsibility for their own operations or to follow through with their own customer satisfaction policies is appalling. Furthermore they lied about the type of delay in order to prevent having to follow through with their own customer service policies. Frontier has lost all future business from me and hopefully everyone that reads this review. This business does not deserve to have any patrons ever.

About two hours prior to leaving for the airport I received a text indicating that the flight from Mobile to Chicago was cancelled. I called Frontier and was advised that the next available flight out was three days later, or exactly on the date I was booked to return from Chicago. Since it was pointless to wait I told the CSR to cancel the entire booking, and assumed that would be the end of it and Frontier would return my money....Later, I received a note that they cancelled the outbound flight from Mobile but still had me booked for the return flight from Chicago. (As if I would spend $500.00 to take a one way to Chicago just to take their return flight.)

    There are numerous emails back and forth on a simple issue of returning $38.00, lots of excuses but no refund. Before booking with Frontier consider if it is worth the aggravation of dealing with these people just to save a few dollars. Unless you have no alternative consider spending a few extra dollars and avoid putting up with incompetent people who have no desire to help their customers.

I figure I'll just get assigned a seat at the terminal, avoid the charge entirely. However, directly underneath the button that lets you continue without choosing a seat is a paragraph telling you that you will be charged at the terminal when you are assigned a random seat. This is not the case, if you are assigned a random seat you are not charged. The website is horribly worded and the whole thing reads like a seedy used car salesman tactic to get you to pay extra money for a seat. After the money that you pay to bring a carry-on bag (which is included in other airlines) this company isn't even worth it.

    I purchased a one way ticket from SFO to ORD. After I purchased my flight ticket, I received an email confirmation with the breakdown of the carry-on baggage fees as follows: BEST VALUE! At booking on web/mobile $25. After booking and up to 24 hrs before departure on web/mobile $28. 2 days prior to my flight, I logged into my Frontier account and after a while I found the link on how to buy carry-on luggage (not straightforward) and lo and behold the only option for carry-on was $45!! I called Frontier and redirected me to Travelocity since I did my booking there. Then after explaining the situation to Travelocity, they personally contacted Frontier so they deal with the baggage fee directly.

    The Frontier rep (John) told me that he was unable to do anything for me. But directed me to the "Feedback" form and present my case. And I asked how long will this take because my flight was in a few days... He assured me it would be no more than 6 hours. After 8 hours went by, I called Frontier (again) and again stressed they could not help me... Only the "back office". So I politely asked to please transfer me to the back office. They put me on hold while she reviewed the incident I sent (PDF of the email confirmation with all the breakdown prices for carry on plus screen capture of web baggage price).

    After about 10 min on hold, the back office manager reviewed my email (with PDF of original confirmation with lower bag prices) and did indeed honor the $28.00 and I promptly paid over the phone. She thanked me for bringing this to her attention and will be fixed for new customers. When I received the updated confirmation email, lo and behold, the baggage prices went up! I hope the process was much streamlined. This took me part of my morning and afternoon trying to resolve this.

    Flight from Denver to Phoenix 10.6.19 was delayed 2 hours for maintenance then an additional 6 hours because flight staff was over their allowed hours. Customer service was atrocious, unsympathetic, and completely unobliging. I feel their business practices are unethical and that I have been scammed for my money. I have never worked with or been with a company that cares so little about their customers or the Quality of service they provide. I would NEVER recommend Frontier to anyone and would only recommend to NEVER fly Frontier. It's worth the extra money to fly with anyone else.

    I was a very loyal frontier customer until I had to fly for a family emergency. A court order forced us to change our return flight. Upon arrival for this flight, we discovered only one of our reservation changes held so we were forced to spend the night in the airport with 3 kids under the age of 5. The customer service agent could not and would not book another flight for us so we booked the first flight on another airline. We received nothing for our troubles, which I expected, and I have not and will not fly this airline again. I have contacted customer service multiple times and they simply dismiss my concerns.

Plus you don't get the money back. They make you book another flight or lose your money entirely within 90 days!

    My husband and I were booked on a flight from New Orleans to Denver on 09/19/19 departure time on my trip confirmation was 2:56 p.m.. Upon arriving at the airport to check our luggage we were advised by the ticket agent the flight had left at 1:24 without us. I was also told I was the 3rd person to come to the counter with this same departure time. They were no help whatsoever, I contacted J.J. with customer service who advised to re-contact the agent and see what my options were. We were told to "go home and re-book". J.J. also advised I was sent an e-mail at 8:31 that morning advising us of the change still waiting on that.

    My son who purchased the tickets booked through Frontier and not a third party and was never advised of the change. When I inquired about a refund I was told I missed my flight so there would be not refund. Can't tell you how disappointed we were to miss our visit with our son but the total disregard for the customer of Frontier was even more disappointing. No "we are sorry", no reason why the time was changed, nothing. This is a very poor way to run a business.

    I bought my flight ticket at Frontier Airlines from SFO (San Francisco) to ORD (Chicago) almost three weeks before departure, however, when arriving at the airport to check-in at 10pm, 19th Sep 2019, I saw that my flight was cancelled with no any reasons. The departing time was 00:59am, 20th SEP, and I even got a confirmation mail 19th Sep, however when arriving at the airport, I saw that it was cancelled just three hours before the flight, without any notice and reasons. And even at the Frontier Airlines desk, nobody showed up, no answer to phone, no guide to how I shall confront it.

    Because of appointment at the Chicago, I decided to buy a new ticket first, at another airline but even the soonest one at the moment was 8 hours later than the Frontier Airlines ticket, so I can not meet my appointment time at the Chicago. Also, I faced to stay at the airport the whole night, which totally ruins my the next day and these whole things are too annoying, too stressful.. I will file compensation for my lost time, money, psychological stress, cancellation of appointment at the Chicago but even this procedure makes me too mad..

    On 9/5/19 my sister, I and my two children were traveling to New Orleans to visit family via Frontier Airlines. My sister and I each had our purses (i.e. free personal item) and one checked bag, at a (whopping, in my personal opinion) $50.00. We went to the baggage counter to check the suitcase and my card declined, for some odd reason, maybe because it was a prepaid debit card, but it had plenty of money on it. The agent asked me to try a different card, so I used my bank card and the purchase went through.

    While we were waiting for our flight, I checked my prepaid card balance online, because I had an uneasy feeling. Sure enough, there was an authorization pending for the ostensibly “declined” purchase of a checked bag with Frontier Airlines. I called the card company and they told me to watch and see if the purchase fell off because it hadn’t actually posted yet. But sure enough, on 9/8, it posted to my account. I called my card company again and they told me that I’d have to attempt to get a refund from Frontier before starting a dispute.

    Long story short, the first Frontier CSR I spoke to tried to insist that I was NOT double charged and that I was charged $50 for my checked bag and $50 for my “carry-on.” LOL... $50 for a carry-on that nobody had, as my sister and I were carrying our purses... and charged to a different card, at that?? I had to recount the events multiple times and still I was gaslit and told that they did nothing wrong, I was NOT double charged, and that I MUST have had a carry-on.

    I finally had to escalate to asking for a supervisor, which I hate doing, but $50 is $50 and I felt like I was being accused of trying to pull a fast one on Frontier. I’m not trying to claim a refund on a service that was provided in good faith, I’m an honest person. I’m just trying to get my $50 back that was wrongfully charged TWICE. Sorry, I’m not paying twice for a checked bag which is already too expensive to begin with. $50... that’s a crawfish po’ boy and three cocktails on Bourbon Street.

    After 25 minutes of back and forth, being interrogated and trying to explain and clarify and basically BEG for my money back, the charge was grudgingly refunded to my card and the supervisor seemed really put out about it. This whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth and I doubt I will use Frontier Airlines for my next trip. Southwest might be a little more expensive but at least you don’t get completely hosed with baggage fees.

    Purchased trip to Fla with Frontier. When at the airport, Fort Myers, we heard another traveler gasp and say that her flight was cancelled. I stood up and looked at the board and yes, it was our flight, this happened 2 hrs before departure. They handed us a letter stating we had two options to be compensated for the flight. They did not provide another flight out of Fort Myers. We booked a hotel and began to look for other options and file our paper work to be refunded for the other airline we chose to fly home on. That happened June 25th, 19. It is now Sept. 10th and they still have not fulfilled their commitment to refund us. Have filed complaints with BBB of Denver, Frontier reported sending a refund. They had not done so.

    After ongoing communication with BBB I am still waiting for Frontier to respond to them. On 8/30/19 a handwritten check, with no stub, no letter or any other communication was written, mailed Sept. 3rd. Received the check and the amount is $220.00 less than the cost of the flight with another airline. I have read many complaints on the Denver BBB site experiencing similar results. How is this business continuing to engage in such unethical practices. Also, how is such a large corporation disbursing checks that are hand written, no documentation identifying what the check is for or how the amount was calculated nor any other information provided for a paper trail for the company!

    At the very last minute, Frontier flight was cancelled from STL-MCO. We scrambled to get my brother on another flight booking SW on the same day which was very expensive. Frontier refunded the $133 of the cancelled flight and gave him a $500 voucher to be used by 9/9/19. He rebooked a flight using $200 of the $500 credit and when I went back to book another flight using the $300 balance, they said he could only use the credit for 1 flight! It is their policy and they would not budge. I find it very poor customer service to offer a credit to somewhat make up for the inconvenience and cost incurred when they cancelled a flight (for no apparent reason... not weather related) and then turn around and not honor the credit that was offered. "Future travel vouchers"... should be for future travel until they expire. Period.

    I have flown 3 times round trip, Portland to Austin, for less than $100 each time. I caught their 50 or 75% off sales, which was only good on nonstop flights. All my flights left late and arrived in Austin around 4:00 a.m. but who cares when it's so cheap? I still have my permanent residence in Texas, so I never took luggage either way. Nice not having to bother. It's a no frills type airline but for me to fly that far, nonstop for less than $50 each flight, I can put up with a little inconvenience for 3 1/2 hours. Definitely better than driving the 2500 miles!

    I was late arriving for one of my Austin flights and the plane was taking off. I was told I could take the next available flight for $79. I should have looked to see what the next flight to Portland was before calling. I got back to Portland the next day after spending 10 hours in Denver and 2 other stops with long layovers. But, since I could only blame myself for missing my original flight, I didn't gripe. I get their emails and always check their sales. Flying inexpensively is much more fun than driving!

    We checked in two hours early. The staff at the check in counter was friendly, but very slow. It took an hour to get through a short line. We checked a single suitcase for $50, which they lost. A representative at the next airport traced it and it never left the first airport, despite such an early check in. All throughout the flight, a stewardess who also worked the boarding operations, kept threatening us with "Federal Law" that we WILL get prosecuted if we try to sneak anything on. They pulled a guy off for having a carry on, which he got to avoid the $50 checked in baggage fee, and embarrassed him in front of everyone, and made him pay $35.

    Everywhere, they had signs warning customers not to be a sloth, slowing down everybody by not pre-paying for luggage (which they will then later lose). All throughout the flight, she kept on threatening everyone in a very angry tone, about trying to sneak. Anything on. Even drinks and snacks are charged. $2 for water. $3 for a snack or soft drink. $8 for a beer. The seats are very hard and uncomfortable, and unusually tight. Tray tables are smaller than a small iPad, and they boast about it! They take pride in having a smaller carbon footprint. After all the rudeness, abusive treatment during the flight, lost luggage that I had to pay for, I ended up paying $20 for a few adult beverages, which did take the edge off my growing anger.

    Where to even begin. So I was scheduled to fly into Orlando 8/31/2019. As anybody living in a first world country now knows Florida has been declared a state of emergency due to hurricane Dorian. I have several family members there who have cautioned me in detail to stay home. Gas stations for miles are out of fuel. The stores are out of water and food. Businesses are closing everywhere. The resort we were to stay at is closing all pool decks and amenities effective 8/31. It’s a literal disaster area. And residents are being encouraged to evacuate. 12-16” of rain are expected. Winds from 75-130 mph depending on where you are. It could be one of the largest storms to hit Florida in years. Now one would think that a refund on your flight would be in order. Or at the very least a voucher to use for an upcoming trip in April. You know, due to the NATURAL DISASTER and all. But not so for a Frontier customer.

    We were told l that since the hurricane isn’t supposed to make landfall until Sunday, we COULD still fly in. And since it will be over before we fly home on Wednesday 9/4 we are not eligible for any such thing. I’m sorry but this is a deplorable joke. I will NEVER fly Frontier air again if they offered me free flights anywhere on the globe for life. So to clarify I’m supposed to fly myself, my wife, and four kids INTO a known disaster or lose $800 that I spent the month of July on 12 hour days to earn.

They will make you wait 3 or more days to acquire a new flight with no food or hotel accommodations. They left me stranded in San Juan airport with my children 3 and 12 and told me to ask the airport for cots and blankets because there was nothing they could do for me even though they cancelled my flight.

We were there an hour before the flight. Others who were in line longer were also refused. A clerk at check-in said she walked the line to announce they were ending check-in for our flight. The staff member who guided us to the front of the line apparently never heard such an announcement. Further, they attempted to charge us for a change in flight! I made a fuss and they acquiesced. In their note to me, in response to my complaint, they acted as if they'd done me a favor by not sticking it to us twice! We had to return for a much later flight that day. We arrived in Vegas at nearly midnight their time, so we lost the tickets to the show we'd planned to see. The extra cost of day - hotel, car rental, having to pay for parking at the airport twice - all lost. And in their note they.

    If you are using the airline for say a one day trip where you can carry on luggage (which they charge for) then perhaps they're ok. I wouldn't count on it. Their own attendant said we should get there several hours before the rescheduled flight. A domestic flight. If you don't mind seats that feel like wooden benches then they're fine too. Keep your interaction with them short. With everything I've read and this personal experience I will never fly them again. Thankfully we flew American on the way home... and they didn't charge us for soda or coffee on the flight. As an aside, in their note to me, which they sent twice, they didn't get my name right and it was apparent the sender did not have a command of the language with multiple typos and incorrect use of tenses.

From Saturday thru our trip, I spent $500 at stores to cover the items Frontier screwed us on with the lost bag. Then, on Wed when we check our bags in Trenton to go home, our extra items that we bought because Frontier lost the bag caused our one bag to be overweight. They charged my $75 for an overweight fee.

    I flew out from Denver to St. Louis August 8th and my flight was delayed about six times. Each of these times I was lied to about the reason for the delay until finally (10 hours later) we were told it was cancelled with no explanation. The result was that I had to book a last minute hotel for about $200 and come back to the airport the next day. While at the hotel I looked up the next flight out of Denver and it was not until 2pm the next day through another airline and the only tickets available were for first class. You can imagine that this flight was not cheap, but it was imperative that I reached my destination so I sprung for this ticket.

    When I approached the Frontier kiosk to discuss my refund for the cancelled flight the manager on duty was excessively rude to me and offered me a flight voucher for less than was my original cancelled flight. When I expressed to her that this was unacceptable she shoved a letter at me to send in to the airline to cover up to $400 dollars for the cost of my replacement flight which didn't come close to covering my replacement flight. All in all I ended up paying $200 for the original cancelled Frontier flight and $600 for a same day first class flight through Delta. Not to mention the entire day sitting at the airport waiting for my flight which would never arrive and the hotel room for $200.

    All in all my trip ended up costing nearly $1000 for a one way flight and they were only willing to reimburse me the $400. Furthermore the customer service representative on the phone was horribly rude to me and refused to allow me to speak with a supervisor. When I sent in an e-mail to request my refund they took hours, and sometimes days to respond. It seems to me that Frontier does not care in the least about their customer service or their reputation.

On 5/30/2019 I received another email from Frontier stating that my flight had been revised again, losing more time from my trip. On 7/20/2019 I tried to cancel the ticket for my friend who accompanies me on this trip every year. She was scheduled for a medical procedure that would take place on July 26th, 2019 so she was no longer able to make the trip. I called Frontier's customer service and asked them to cancel it which also resulted in a cancellation fee! I was then told to send in a doctor's note and my money would be refunded minus that cancellation fee.

    On 7/21/2019 I noticed her ticket still had not been cancelled and called back. Frontier then divides our ticket so this way they could cancel her flight but not mine. Again there is a cancellation fee for this as well! I then upload the document Frontier told me to send in - simple, a letter on doctor's letterhead stating she was having a medical procedure and could not fly signed then signed by the doctor. On 7/22/2019 I then receive a denial of my refund for her ticket because the letter did not state that she would not be able to fly within the next 90 days. I was not told it had to say that so I was still denied the refund!

No explanation was given and by this time I had lost a whole day of my trip due to Frontier changes and delays.

On top of that, they would not even assist in getting me on a different flight! I found a flight online, had to pay again for a new flight home out of West Palm Beach which cost me another 171.98.

They also told us at the gate that it was because they overworked their employees and they had no crew to come to the Austin airport to service the AUS-SNA flight, believing in the people at the gate we book another flight for $594 and now they refuse to reimbursed us that money. They would only reimbursed the connecting flight (about $50) or the other options is re-book us in another of their flights which are not available for another 2 days and they won't give us accommodation vouchers! BTW is 79 degrees in Austin and in Santa Ana! Please save yourself the headache. Book with a real airline! Also worst customer service ever. The manager at the gate was yelling because we were asking for names!

    The airline takes no accountability for their errors. Our departing flight was delayed due to their staff having let on the wrong passengers at the location where the plane was originating. In addition to this delay, we (myself and at least 20 other passengers) missed our layover due to Frontier misrouting a plane to our landing gate (which consequently had mechanical failure and could not move from that gate). They then refused to adequately rebook us, and most people just ended up buying a ticket with another airline to actually get to their destination. In addition, all this took place after 10:30 pm when we finally arrived in Denver, and they refused to cover any food or hotel vouchers. It is frightening to think that, with this many logistical errors, how safe their planes actually are. Not to mention, their customer service is appalling, and it is shocking that they are able to stay in business.

    Six of my friends from Ohio purchased a ticket from CMH to RDU for 10/31 and returning 11/3. They were just notified that not only was their flight cancelled, but Frontier does not have any flights scheduled after 9/5/19 to and from these locations. This is pretty unbelievable, especially following their "going green" campaign offering free flights to anyone with the last name "Green" or "Greene". Of course your carbon footprint is going to decrease if you're not flying the planes...

    The only reason my friends and I chose this location to meet (Raleigh) was BECAUSE Frontier flights were so cheap. Now we have hotel reservations and car rentals that we are unable to cancel, and now they have to find another flight. Out of all of the budget airlines I have interacted with (I have flown Allegiant & Spirit personally) this one is definitely the least reliable and customer service has been terrible. I would recommend this airline to anyone who enjoys wasting their time with purchasing plane tickets that will just end up getting cancelled.

    On August 8th, 2019, Frontier Airlines stranded the passengers of Flight 280 to Saint Louis in Denver at 1:30 in the morning. They proceeded to handle the situation what was, in my opinion, the least professional and empathetic way possible.
After an initial delay of 2 hours due to thunderstorms in the midwest, which the entire airport experienced, Frontier Airlines proceeded to delay the flight every fifteen minutes because “we were waiting for a flight crew from Oklahoma.” By the time the flight was cancelled, the flight from Oklahoma had been on the ground for several hours. Eventually, an attendant did arrive at our gate, but then turned around and left. Shortly after, around 1:30am, we were told they flight was cancelled due to “routine maintenance.” Again, this came after several of hours of being told that we were waiting for a flight crew.

    We believe that by the time the crew member arrived, she was fatigued and could not fly, and frontier need to create an excuse that sounded better than “We had you wait several hours for a crew that can’t fly.” Currently, Frontier will acknowledge that it was their error that the flight did not leave, but will not reveal why.

We were told to wait in a customer service line of over 100 people to see what could be done for us. Frontier had 1 person working the counter. We were not given a baggage claim number. Several of us called frontier and were on hold for an hour or more.

    A Frontier representative told me over the phone that the Flight had not been cancelled and he could not do anything, and did not change until I strongly protested and let him listen to the more than 100 angry people around me. When a representative did finally show up much later to pass out letters that were supposed to explain tickets and lodging, we attempted to ask her about bags, and she literally ran away. No frontier representative ever told us where our luggage would be.
At 2am, there are very few hotel rooms left nearby in Denver, and public transportation has stopped (or at least does not run to the airport, I checked with an airport employee).

    To this date, Frontier is only willing to compensate $150 for a hotel room. A letter passed out by them said that due to the “high demand area” (this is the same area their corporate office is in, fyi) they could not provide us accommodation. The cheapest room I could find was $170 ($196 with tax and fees). I strongly believe this was the cheapest available, as I received the cheapest room, and the desk attendant said that the last 40 people to enter were from my flight. The hotel was 25 min from the airport, everything closer started around $300. Due to the lack of transport, the only option was Uber or similar. After many hours and effort, Frontier agrees to pay transportation costs, but not the tip, despite tipping being a standard and expected practice, and $5 on a $31 fare being extremely reasonable.

    Some people I spoke to had to sleep in their car, and many could not get a flight until Monday, potentially taking on over $1k more expenses if they were a group.
Frontier flat out refuses to pay reasonable meals for the extra day in Denver, totaling $27.88. Had I made home on time, meals that day would have cost maybe a quarter of that. When mentioned to Customer Relations Agent Joshua, he made a comment that knowing food is required for survival, he expects to eat daily and budgets for it, a remark I found extremely rude.



    I have spent 5-6 hours total on the phone with frontier, 80% of that time on hold. Average transfer time between parties is 50 minutes, in my experience. I have had several agents laugh at my agitation, and one agent invoke her family’s welfare for some reason. This also happens to be the same agent that hung up on me after waiting to speak to her for 1 hour and 6 minutes. Joshua refused to give me this agent’s first name when I called back.

    On the flight I booked the next day (Flight 282, Aug the 9th), of which a handful of people were from the cancelled flight, they kept a seat empty because “It would not recline.” (This was according a flight attendant). I want to stress this. Over 100 people were stranded in Denver the night before, and Frontier kept a seat Vacant on one of the next flights because it could not recline.



    In summary, Frontier cancelled our flight for what appears to be negligence on their part, causing us several unexpected expenses that they refuse to fully compensate for, despite the expenses being objectively small and reasonable. In my opinion, these expenses were brought about due to fraud on Frontier’s part. Frontier gives me no reason to doubt this, as they refuse to reveal any details on the cancellation. Additionally, many frontier employees seem to have put first minimal effort to assist customers. Though I have received emails stating frontier strives to provide the “best service,” and Joshua even something similar at the beginning of our call, when I asked if this is what Frontier considered “Best Service,” he refused to answer me.

    I have never experienced a less customer friendly airline than Frontier Airlines. They may have cheaper flights but don't let that fool you, just wait until you experience their online check-in! Make sure you give yourself at least 30 minutes to check in, as you will be interrogated and flooded with information about their strict policies. Even though you have purchased a ticket they want you to pay for your seat and if you don't you will be at their mercy where you sit. As I was going through the check in process, you could only have one personal item on the plane and they are very specific about size and it MUST be placed under your seat! They also make it appear that you will have to check in any other bags you might have (at a fee of $38.00 per bag). I had one personal item and only one other small bag which I planned on carrying on. No, I had to pay to check it in right then and there.

    As I continued to go through the check in process *(approximately 12 steps) and be offered different services to purchase singly or you could purchase a pass for $78 which would package some of the single items offered. As I continued through the check in process I find the bag I had to pay to check in could have been carried on for the same fee. I called Frontier (and was on hold for at least 30 minutes) to see if I could transfer the bag from a checked bag to a carry-on bag and was told the only way to do that was to pay a $14 dollar fee for each leg of the round trip ticket. What does it matter whether whether I check it or carry it on? The fee is the same and it meets their restricted size. But no, as you continue to check out you have to "swear" that you are not carrying on a bag.

    So to reiterate, if you want to fly Frontier, you cannot select a seat at check-in unless you want to pay an extra fee from $28 to $60+ for a seat, pay extra for a carry-on, and your personal items size is restricted must be placed under the seat in front of you! I can't wait to see what they charge to board the plane (will I be charged if I bring my own drink or snack?) and what is the fee to use the restrooms and what will they charge for the toilet paper, soap and water to rinse my hands??? I will NEVER travel Frontier again. I am too close to my departure date or I would have gladly donated my ticket and flew on another airline so I wouldn't have to business with them.

Frontier cancelled our flight from Chicago to Denver 10 hours before flight. No one answered our phone call for four hours and the website did not allow rebooking. Company claimed next available flight was four days later and this was weather-related because the plane the night before was unable to reach Chicago.

    First time flying this ** airline and will never fly it again. To begin with, the seats are hard as a rock and they don’t move at ALL. Landed in Denver where we were supposed to be hopping on our connected flight. Ended up sitting in the plane once we landed for over an hour. Our connecting flight got cancelled for God knows why, as well as 100’s of other people's flights. Stood in a line for HOURS with 100’s of other people for customer service in hopes of getting on another flight. We were sent to the ticketing center to change our flight there after waiting for hours to do the same.

    Talked to the manager who was a straight up **, she did not help us whatsoever. They refused to give us another airline, as well as pay for a hotel when they expected us to stay for three days longer than expected. We were then told we would be put on standby with 20 other people. Not gonna happen. This airline is a straight up joke. The only thing they did for everyone was email a 50$ FOOD VOUCHER. In which you can only use within 30 days. Thanks for the food voucher but you will never see half of your customers again. xoxo. Go ** yourself.

    Booked round trip flight on Frontier Airlines and for convenience, we booked a Budget rental car through their webpage as well. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to cancel our flight. We obtained a refund for the fight and bags but there was no option for canceling the car. We contacted Budget and they said they had no control over “third party rentals” and we had to go through Frontier. We contacted Frontier and they absolutely refused to refund the rental car fee of $311.00! They said the car rental “no refund” clause was in the “fine print” and we should have read it more carefully. Our argument was their policy made no sense. If we cancelled the flight, why would we need the car? They basically said “too bad” and reiterated we should have read the “fine print” carefully.

    We expressed our dissatisfaction and stated we’d never fly Frontier again, to which the woman basically responded, ‘Ok’. Granted, we did not see anything in the “fine print” but you’d figure Frontier would want to exhibit “goodwill” with its customers. Instead, Frontier Airline is basically ripping us off for $311.00. We are going to file a dispute grievance with MasterCard and hopefully get at least some of our money back. DO NOT EVER BOOK ANYTHING THROUGH FRONTIER, NOT EVEN A FLIGHT.

    My first experience on Frontier will be my last. I have flown countless times on various airlines, including budget airlines in Thailand, Guatemala, and Panama, and have never had such a horrendous experience. After being delayed over an hour we finally boarded our plane, I was content thinking my checked bag was safe and sound under the plane. It is nice boarding with a small personal item not having to find room for a carry-on bag. The flight landed late into Houston and I began the rush to the baggage claim, anxious to get some shut-eye in my own bed. After waiting for close to an hour for my bag, me and three others were left bagless. Moving upstairs we found some Frontier representatives on their phone confused as to how our bags did not arrive.

    Over the next three days, I was put through endless circles of atrocious outsourced customer service representatives. Throughout this time I chatted with about 20 different customer service reps and various airport staff; hearing different stories. My bag had been found and lost again once, and then permanently lost, with zero concern, assistance, or assurance from Frontier. On day four I took matters into my own hands and begun contacting airport baggage service offices. Finally, I was dealing with friendly and understanding airport (not airline) staff. I seemed confident my bag may indeed be found.

    Day 5. My girlfriend and I began to compile an Excel spreadsheet with all of our missing items in the checked bag with the corresponding dollar amount to bring to a Frontier supervisor at our closest airport because we still had no news about our bag. Frontier had told me every day I would receive an email and phone call within the hour pertaining to my bag and I never heard a word. Day 6. I receive a call from IAH (Houston) baggage service department that my bag had been found! Another airline sent this bag on their plane when Frontier brought it to them days later. I still never heard an apology or was refunded for any submitted expenses from Frontier. After a stressful 6 days I leave you with this .... don't @FlyFrontier.

    7/11/2019. Flight Number: 2314. Confirmation Code: **. My flight was set to depart at 7:50am on 7/11/19. I arrived at the check in at 6:50am. There was one 1 customer in the line and one Frontier representative present. The customer was very belligerent with the Frontier representative and was cursing and yelling over a bag check in charge.

    I waited and at 7:07 another Frontier representative came out and finally asked to help me. I asked to check in and he said I could not because I missed the 45 minute check in timeline. I told him that was two minutes ago and I was the only one in line behind an irate customer and had been waiting since 6:50am. He did not yell at me and wasn't curt but in a very un-caring and unsympathetic tone told me, "we recommend you being here 2 hours early". I said “isn't there clearly something you can do. I am two minutes past the deadline and I was here on-time but you were somewhere in the back and showed up to help service me 2 minutes past the deadline”. He nonchalantly and with zero concern said there was nothing he could do.

    I have 4 children and am very busy at work. I typically check in on my mobile app when an email is sent to me reminding me to check in. I never got the email. I found out after this all happened that the email was sent but it was sent to my junk mail. When I showed up initially I didn’t know where the kiosk was and I honestly should have cut in on the conversation with the irate customer but she was cursing and babbling so loudly that I didn’t want to interrupt her to push the issue of being serviced. Also, I really didn’t know that they would not let me check in if I missed the 45 minute deadline. If I knew that I would have interpreted the irate customer. I have never had this sort of issue with another airline. This is my first flight with Frontier and it was not very pleasant. My concern is:

    1. That my confirmation email didn’t state boldly that if I didn’t check in 45 minutes prior to the flight I would not be able to be admitted “no exceptions”. That I would receive an email or I need to manually check in a day early to avoid issues. Clear instructions would be nice for people that are very busy. It would also clue me in to investigate in the event my email was sent to junk email.

    2. I was on-time. In fact I was 60 minutes early. There were no lines at the gate and there was only 1 person who was in the frontier line in-front of me but there was only 1 Frontier representative available that was occupied with an irate customer. The second representative (Prince) was not available at 6:50am and did not come out of the back office until 2 minutes after the 45 minute deadline. This would have been a non-issue if he would have simply been available to service customers.

    3. I explained my side of the situation to Prince and he lacked any empathy and quite frankly seemed unconcerned. He came across lethargic and presented very poor customer service. He seemed to not care at all.

    4. I just can’t believe Prince could not process me into the flight 43 minutes prior to the departure when there were very few people in the airline security gate and I would have been 25-30 early to the flight. I have been much later to flights in the past with other airlines and never had this issue.

    5. The only next available flight was the following day which forced me to missed my cousins wedding reception.

I assumed it must be something with the return flight and decided I would figure it out once I got to Denver. A handful of passengers arrived and we waited. When no employee showed up by 5 we started worrying. Only a few of us had received the vague email. None of us received a text update. All of us were looking at the website and flight board while trying to get customer service on the phone. Both still showed that the flight was on time until 5:20 when it changed as we were looking at it. One man exclaimed, "This is the 3rd time Frontier has done this to me!" Several people stormed off at that point.

    I was following a myriad of prompts while trying to speak to a human on the phone. Apparently the passenger near me got ahold of someone because he shouted, "Friday! I can't wait until Friday!" Then he stormed off too. I was looking at the flight board. Every other airline still had flights to Denver. Some of them had several flights. So, I couldn't understand what Frontier was doing. I finally got ahold of someone. They said that the flight was cancelled due to weather. It was lightly raining, which I can add, had stopped by 6AM and the sun was shining again. "Sorry, we can issue you a refund in 7 to 10 business days if you want." I told them what I wanted to do was get to Denver and asked how they were going to help me get there. "All we can do is give you a refund in 7 to 10 business days." She told me I could go buy myself a ticket from another airline!

    Well, not only did I not have the money I gave to Frontier, the cheapest last minute ticket was $600! Which I didn't have. They said they sent the email at midnight. Ok, then why didn't the website or flight board not show it until 5:20? I asked several times why there wasn't a Frontier representative in the airport. By then I had walked to the main Frontier counter and there wasn't anyone there. They never answered any of my questions, they just repeated the same thing to me about getting a refund. They said they couldn't help me get on any other flight. They didn't offer me a hotel, cab or so much as a cup of coffee to assist me. They just stranded me at the last minute in the airport with nothing. It was important for me to get to Denver, not only because my brothers and I were moving my mother to Tennessee, but also because that was possibly my last chance to see my frail father before he passes.

    Needless to say I was angry and upset. I felt cheated and abandoned by Frontier. I felt like they couldn't care less about the situation they had put me in. Thank God my husband was able to leave work and take me to my car and that I had a reliable enough vehicle to drive. Since I drove out there, I had to drive back. Which meant 5 hours of flying turned into 4 days of driving. I obviously didn't have as much time to spend with my family, but at least I got to see my dad. It was a long trip for my mother but she was a trouper. Frontier refunded my ticket, but not my mother's. So, they made several hundred dollars off of me. And I didn't receive the money until after my trip. Thankfully I had credit cards and my brothers to help me. I will NEVER fly Frontier again. I warn anyone reading this to save yourself the trouble and spend a little more money to fly with a legit airline.

    This is the worst airline I have ever experienced. My wife and I had a 7:00 AM flight from RDU (Raleigh/Durham) to PWE (Portland Maine) on Monday, July 1. We arrived at 5:45 AM when I tried to check in for the flight at the kiosk. The kiosk would/could not check us in, and said we needed to check in at the counter. When I got to the counter (approximately 6:11), I was told it was too late to be checked in and that I could not take the flight. I told her I had tried to check in at the kiosk, and she stated that we had to be checked in at least *two hours* before the flight (note that this is NOT what the airline says in its legal blurb). She was then done with us, and had nothing else to say. I called "Customer Service", and was told they could re-book us on Friday the 5th, but that we would have to pay a $100 booking fee and any difference in ticket price. We ended up spending an additional $1300 to get to our destination that day. These people are horrific.

    After 8 hours of saying our flight was 'delayed', they finally cancelled it. They printed a letter stating we had two options - one to book another flight with Frontier and receive $500 in travel vouchers, or book with another airline and receive $500 in travel vouchers. I found another Frontier flight online for the next day (24 hours later), however the representatives at the flight desk were telling all of the other passengers the next flight wasn't available until TWO DAYS LATER. I brought my computer and the flight I found to the receptionist and she pulled me aside and ASKED ME NOT TO TELL ANY OF THE OTHER PASSENGERS THAT THIS FLIGHT EXISTED!! And told me NOT to book it with my card and kept pushing that she would book me personally. They were so shady about the whole thing, but we were desperate to get home.

    They were nice enough to book us a hotel for one night - not two nights. So, we checked in at 5AM and had to check out at 11AM! We had to pay for the extra night, food and transportation to the hotel ourselves!! After all was said and done, I called Frontier about my $500 travel voucher they promised and was told I no longer qualified because the receptionist booked my flight - not me! Looking back, she purposefully conned me into booking the flight herself so Frontier wouldn't have to give me any sort of travel voucher. I'm out over $400 from the extra day/night in Las Vegas. WE WILL NEVER FLY FRONTIER AGAIN.

    I haven’t flown in several years and was looking forward to my 20th wedding anniversary trip with my husband. Frontier cancelled our flight. First we get the “maintenance” excuse for the delay and now we get the “weather” excuse for the cancellation. No other flights have been cancelled and the weather is clear. It would be nice to get a straight honest answer and some consideration in getting us to our destination. All we were offered was a refund. Frontier is not affiliated with any other airlines so rebooking is not an option. Also they claim that since it is the 4th of July that there are no maintenance crews working. WHY would you run flights without having a maintenance crew available? Something is very fishy here. Totally unacceptable. Will save myself the grief and spend the extra money for a reliable airline in the future. Totally ruined my anniversary.

    We had already paid for an Airbnb and rental car for June 19-23, all they offered was a sorry and they could refund us. We had to cancel and find another flight with another airline that flew out the next afternoon which didn't offer a straight flight to San Diego so we had to fly to New York and sit at that airport for 4 hours.

    Same story you see on here over and over. Was flying to Omaha to catch the end of a family reunion over the weekend. They cancelled our flight citing "weather" (despite no other flights being cancelled) and offered to fly us out on flight 5 days later (after our return flight) or take a refund. Long story short, we ended up stranded and missed the reunion.

    Two strange things with this: 1) As I mentioned, flights on other airlines were unaffected. Nearly all flights into Omaha and neighboring cities were still landing without delay. Same thing along the entire flight path. This seems to be a common occurrence with Frontier. 2) While there was a small storm near Omaha (which didn't seem to affect other airlines at all), the storm was completely gone in a matter of hours. If weather was the issue why didn't they just delay the flight for two hours until the storm passed, rather than stranding everyone (and only offering flights 5 days later)?

    Not sure if Frontier has under-qualified pilots (not allowed to fly in mild weather?), cheap planes, or is just straight up lying about reasons for cancellation (do they have less liability to passengers if they claim weather problems rather than mechanical/logistical problems which actually caused the delay?). Not sure, but considering how often this happens, seems like this bears looking into.

    Let me preface this review by saying I am a pragmatist with high hopes and minimal expectations. I don’t like to complain and try to be as understanding and compliant as possible under most circumstances as my career has been in the hospitality industry so I get it. Having said that… On a return flight from Seattle to Atlanta, while attempting, and failing, to check in to our flight, we were forced to approach the ever-dreaded and $10 extra understaffed-overworked-irritated check-in counter. Without prior notice we were informed that our flight was cancelled and it would be 4 DAYS before we could book another flight back home. Of course I came back at them (politely and respectfully) with the old “Are you serious?? We have jobs and responsibilities, there has to be a better option?!”, but my plea was cut short by a defeated “There is nothing we can do for you, I can give you a refund.” And that was the sum of our entire conversation.

    No compassion. No respect. No consideration. Literally nothing more than “I can give you a refund”. And god forbid you have to call them for anything at all. The amount of money this cancellation cost us in food, lodging, loss of work, and more importantly loss of time solidifies my resolve to not only never fly Frontier again but to warn anyone of the deplorable “service” they provide. Spend a little more somewhere else for peace of mind.

    I ended up missing my flight because they wouldn't print my boarding pass. After paying for a last minute flight on another airlines to get home I reached out to Frontier to at least refund my baggage costs. They refused to help in anyway. I ended up out my original flight costs, baggage on that flight and the expensive cost of a last minute flight home. I would not ever use the app for your tickets. We were travelling and not near a printer. This was the first time I tried to use the e-ticket on my phone and then the website glitched and my boarding pass was lost.

    The Frontier front desk employee would not print my boarding pass because after trying at security to get the app to work and then waiting in line again, it was to close to boarding. We were checked in and had seat assignments. I tried to explain this but she would not help in any way. The flight ended up delayed an hour and there should not have been any problem but we could not get any help from the desk agents. Upon going back to try and re-book on another flight I was told that they couldn't get me out for two days and that the desk agent was new and should have printed my passes. That did not make me feel any better.

    Absolutely low budget with so few gates available that you sit on runway waiting to unload for long periods of time. They have wasted my time, money and caused more stress than the few dollars saved flying with was worth. Frontier has infrequently been on time and doesn't update passengers on when they're delayed. If you're not in any particular hurry and don't mind landing or departing at any time, I highly recommend flying Frontier. They should spend more money on timely flights, better customer service and less on expansion and painting their overrated planes. Anyone who flies them does so strictly for budget experience. Shape up or get out of the way for better-managed airlines.

    FRONTIER AIRLINES WAS A JOKE!! I finally made it to Vegas flying for my first time with Frontier Airlines.. PISSED OFF! The flight from Wichita to Denver was delayed an hour and a half due to weather. (Understandable). When we landed in Denver, someone took our parking spot so we waited another 45 minutes to get a parking spot. My layover was short so I ran to the front desk of frontier in the terminal and the girl said the plane left and shrugged me off.. literally.. and started talking to another person I thought was a customer but in reality, it was her friend.

    I walked with another passenger to try to find more help. There wasn't any... I went back to the area of the lady and noticed the other passengers waiting for another flight were still sitting there. (10-15 min later) I went to the lady, interrupted her and her friend again. I pointed at the plane and said "are you sure that isn't the Vegas plane?" She said "omg, I think it could be!" She called and opened up the doors and chuckled... By this time I'm super pissed this Frontier. Who do you guys hire? I'm a customer and I'm telling your employees how to do their job? Anyway, I walk on the plane, ask the young girl for her name, she says "haha why"? I said because I'm your customer and I'm asking for it." A flight attendant asked me my name, I told her. The lady that wouldn't help us said "at least you got on dude." I said "yes thank you for letting me do your job".

    The flight attendant asks if where my seat is. I said f13 (window seat extra leg room". She looked at the other flight attendant and said, "You're going to have to go deal with that.." (I'm thinking what the ** is going on now?!) We get the ** back there and she says "here just sit in that open seat" (f12) (no window, between a big guy and the ** that's in my seat). He looks at me knowing he is in my seat and smiles. (I'm livid) I can cause a scene you see on the videos floating around or the stewardess can ask him to move since I'm there. She does nothing. I'm in ** fire.

    I sat down and thought to myself "first time flying with this company, I guess all this ** is normal for Frontier." I kept my mouth shut even though I was boiling and everyone knew it. I sat down and both the ** elbows were hanging over for me to run my ** against when I sat down and the whole rest of the flight.. She asks if I want to put my backpack overhead because the guy in my seat had his stuff where mine SHOULD HAVE BEEN! I said no thanks.. She didn't know what to do.. blah ** blah..

    After we take the ** off, the Steward comes back and asks me, "do you want to sit in the front of the plane? There is a window seat" I said, "No thank you, I want my window seat with my leg room." (She walks off). I enjoyed no apology but I did get enjoy being smashed between one bigger guy and a **. Both had no respect that I was there. And bumped me with their elbows the whole time. The flights were late, I couldn't lean against the window to sleep. The whole team was a bunch of "not giving a ** employees". Why would I or anyone fly Frontier?! -Steve your first time customer.

    It's June 12, 2019, the first time I am booking with Frontier Airlines for a future trip from Philadelphia, PA to Orlando Fl, scheduled for November 2019. First, a couple of praises for Frontier because I feel they are trying to do some things right! Note that I am not a professional reviewer, nor am I being compensated in any way (other than some self satisfaction) for sharing my thoughts. I rarely write reviews but Frontier's website experience compelled me to write this one.

    Finding Frontier. I found Frontier thru the Google Flights search. Google does a decent job of finding low rates. The last item in my review discusses a little more savings you might be able to get. You can jump there now if you want, but think of all the good stuff from my experience you will miss! What I needed. My requirements were to depart in the morning, between 7:30 and 10:30 am and return late in the afternoon after 4PM. I'm traveling with friends, and they asked me to find the flights! Many discount websites make it difficult to see all the airline schedules, and instead prioritize flights by price or specials they claim to have. I skipped going down that rabbit hole for now. For this review, I focus on Frontier Airlines.

    Account Signup. I found Frontier's website to be mostly straightforward and easy to use, which compared to other airline websites, was a delightful surprise for me. Setting up an account was easy and automatically opted me into their frequent flyer miles program. The password requirements were a bit stiff to conform to, and there is no 2 factor authorization for login.

    Flight Selection. Selecting a departing and returning flight was simple and straightforward. Like with some other airlines, you cannot easily get the lowest displayed price unless you are willing to fly during off hours. After choosing the return flight, the prices for each leg are averaged together and show up as exactly the same cost for each leg. Again, nice and simple because other airlines show one price for going and another for the return flight, making you constantly second guess your choices. Unlike American Airlines, selecting the flight does not result in an immediate up-sell to the "main cabin" for an additional cost. I appreciated Frontier's streamlined approach. In other words, I got the price I expected. I kept checking to see what I was missing!

    Fees - That's what I missed! I don't know about you, but I hate fees, upgrades and options. I always opt to the bundle when possible. My life is too short for me to spend time figuring out these things. Just sell me a ticket, tell me what you think I should have, and let me be on my way. PLEASE make life simple! Some other airlines have various fees that drive me nuts! Things like first and second baggage fees, premium seat charges, carry-on baggage fees, cancellation or schedule change fees. I think American Airlines has lengthy policies written to explain their fees. Who has the time to read all that? Who can really understand all the moving parts that seem to take into account bag size, weight, season. Too much for my brain to compute! FRONTIER MADE IT SO EASY!

    The Works Bundle. Frontier has two fee bundles. I chose "The Works"! So simple This bundle includes everything I could want or need. It cost me $68 each way. I figured without this bundle, I would have paid at least $100 for the same stuff. More importantly than the money saved, I saved time!!! My only "upgrade" came at the very end for a $10.95 insurance that is provided, billed by and paid to AIG (but automatically added to the total price) to cover some stuff like lost baggage, etc. Even the final invoice was simple:

    The Negatives: I read a couple of reviews here on this site about how bad Frontier is as an airline and how bad their employees mistreat their customers. Shame on those Frontier's employees for their lack of empathy, sarcasm and inhuman behaviors. I figure the karma of "what goes around will come around" will take care of them, one way or another. And I am hoping for a more pleasant experience than some on this site have had.

    I have a couple of negatives regarding the Frontier Website: 1. Frontier's online payment processing does not permit the use of multiple payment methods, so traveling with buddies that pay their own way is not so easy. That needs improvement. If it were possible, I would have booked everyone in my party using different credit cards.

    2. After signing in, I did a dry run to get some comparison prices. When I signed in a second time a few minutes later, I noticed that "The Works" bundle price changed from $86 to $68 along with a message that the price was only good "Now". I signed back in several times and always got the lower $68 price. (YES LOWER.) However, when when my buddy signed up for a new account and booked his travel about 1 hour later the price for the same bundle went up from $68 to $83.00. Frontier should keep their pricing consistent. This got me thinking and I played around with different flight times, I found that this bundle price does change. It almost appears to me that as the flight cost goes down, the bundle costs go up. I feel this is shamefully and deceivingly tricky on Frontier's part. Because of this I am sharing a my trick that saved me $62 on this flight and could save you even more. See below.

    Summary. I am so used to seeing trickery in airline sites. They are almost as creative as some wireless companies in coming up with fees and new things to charge consumers for. Will they ever learn simplicity (think Apple) wins out in the long run! (look at Apple, T-Mobile, etc). Because Frontier surprised me with changing their bundling fee (albeit to a lower amount), and did not give my friend the same discount, I am sharing my tip on saving a few dollars. This saved me $62 on my trip. This may not sound like much, but it's a dinner at a decent restaurant!

    Tip: When I booked with Frontier I noticed the promo code, but found none readily available online. I happen to use the "Honey" app extension with my Google Chrome browser. This extension detected the promo code at checkout and found me the best discount code to use. For me, it was "KAYAK". I hope you found my little review here helpful.

When I finalized the transfer it was showing Saks 5th Avenue. I triple checked the number and had to assume they were an affiliate. When I called a few days ago I was told to check with Saks since they could not do anything for me. I don't even have an account with Saks, so there was nothing they could do. I called back and then was told I could file a dispute, which I did.

    Just to do a little test I tried doing another transfer (without finalizing) from and to the same accounts as what caused the issue to begin with. It again showed Saks 5th Avenue. There is obviously a big issue with their website with large sums of money potentially going to the wrong person's account. I took screen shots and called Frontier again earlier today to see if they could look at it to see it is truly a problem. I explained that they should be aware this is an issue and it could be impacting others. They seemed to care less and just said my dispute is in process and I can also check the status online. This is totally unacceptable. If a company's website is not working properly and there is a chance large sums of money could be sent to the wrong place wouldn't you think someone would care or try to fix it?

    I had reservations for a flight out of Houston, TX on 6/10/2019 at 11:59 PM going to Philadelphia. I first got a notice of 2 hour delay while on way to airport. Shortly, delay was changed to 3 hours. In another few minutes, the flight was cancelled. I was already at the airport and at Frontier's counter. Everyone on cancelled flight got a piece of paper offering options: 1. Full refund plus $500 travel vouchers 2. Re-book with another airline with up to $400 refund on re-booked ticket price mailed to you within 2 weeks, as well as a $100 travel voucher.

    I chose to re-book using the site Frontier provided, choosing American Airlines flight at 8:00 AM the next morning. Flight was $443 one way, so not too bad. Only $43 out of my pocket (in addition to original cost to Frontier). Approached American Airlines counter next morning and they could not find where I had paid for booking, but did have record of it. Since it did not show paid for, booking had been cancelled, but I could fly out by re-booking at almost $1000. I called Frontier. They looked at site and found where I had re-booked with American, but stated they did not know why payment did not go through. So they simply said, so sorry, try again. Only re-booking site would not let me back in.

    I drove home since my trip was to attend a funeral and timeframe had been critical. I contacted Frontier's Customer Service to find out about refund. The CSR told me she would be glad to process a FULL refund of the almost $600 I had paid. I specifically asked her if the refund was for the full amount, she replied it was for the entire $597. The Flight itself was about $400 because I took Frontier's "The Works" package for $196 to reserve seat and have free baggage carry on or checking. Frontier refunded the $407 for the flight and "The Works" package, but not for the almost $200 car rental, stating it was non-refundable even though booked at the same time on Frontier's site. The CSR I had talked to said the entire $597 would be refunded.

    The email I got next day said the car rental was not refundable. They offered refunds to all passengers, even though website stated that passengers without "The Works" package who cancelled reservations would not receive refund, receiving voucher for future travel within 90 days only. Website also stated car rentals were non-refundable if cancelled. I did not cancelled reservations, they cancelled flight and caused me to be unable to pick up car reserved in Philadelphia. They cancelled my flight, screwed up my re-booking and lied to me about how much I would be refunded. Think twice about this "cheap" way to fly. Everything costs extra.

Then the lady in Pittsburgh tries to tell me she worked for you for years and you won’t pay to have it come on another flight. I will get it Thursday at best.

    So now I has to buy dress shoes for work since my tennis shoes and dress shoes were in my bag so I can go to work. Then the lady questioned whether or not we were checked in an hour before like I was to blame. Which is a bunch of bs. Because everyone else in that line got their bags. This is your fault yet I felt like I was to blame. You should be doing everything in your power to make this right yet you're too cheap to get me my bag.

    The worse airline I've ever flown. Planes were dirty. Seats were so uncomfortable they did not recline and the help had no class. It was awful. I’m surprised they didn’t charge to use the bathroom. Lord knows they did for everything else..overall I won’t give them not even one star. They were so bad...and the tickets very expensive. Frontier sucks.

    The flight was delayed an hour without enough lead time or notice to prevent me from arriving at the airport on time. Then they board everyone, and yet the pilots were not yet here. Waited an extra hour sitting on the plane. Then they push back from the gate an extra 1/2 hour later only to have to return because they could not figure out an issue. Flight attendants were clueless and helpless throughout the process and seemed to have no idea what to do. They were more interested in helping a pilot from another airline get a better seat than the rest of the paying passengers. Suggest you choose another airline if you need arrive in a reasonable time, or to make a connection. Will try to change my return flight so I get to my destination the same day.

    BEWARE!!! DO NOT FLY FRONTIER!!! This is the absolute worst airline out there! Saving a few bucks isn’t worth it. Plus, those cheap flights are never as cheap as they advertise. You have to pay for your SEAT, CARRY ON, CHECKED BAG, BEVERAGES, SNACKS, etc. NOTHING is free & they’re rude! I got to the terminal & no one was at the front desk!! Everyone knows how frustrating it is to feel like you’re going to miss a flight. Well imagine having enough time but no one is there to check your bag!!! Which I paid $32 for!! I bought a flight with Spirit because I knew I would never make it to my flight.

    When I get to the other terminal I see that my Frontier flight got DELAYED. I still could’ve made my 1st flight if a worker had just told us what was going on. But they left a line of like 10 people worried sick for who knows how long because I left. When I found out the flight was delayed I had a panic attack & started hyperventilating because I really needed to be home. My arms & teeth went numb.

    This was the worst anxiety attack I’ve ever experienced & it’s all because Frontier is the worst company ever! I got so sick I missed both flights! The difference with my second flight is that Spirit kindly canceled my flight for me & even fetched my checked bag from the room in the back & now I have a flight credit with Spirit. I tried to get a refund from Frontier & they didn’t even give me a reason why. JARED just said NO because I missed my flight! NEVER AGAIN!!!! I'M BOYCOTTING FRONTIER!!! There’s a reason why this ridiculous company filed for bankruptcy in 2008. They suck & they should’ve just closed down!! -Belinda ** (flight 1834 from Austin to Detroit, $142.30 paid & stolen!)

    Had round trip tickets for 4 CMH/DEN Dept. 6-8-19, returning 6-12-19 confirmed, with boarding passes printed. We were meeting 6 other couples for a weekend function and concert at Red Rock. Frontier had already sent notification that the 7:30PM Friday dept. was moved to 9:30 PM. 4 hours before departure we received an email the flight was cancelled with the next available flight Monday morning after the concert. When my wife called - she was hung up on. I called back, they would not find any other flights with other airlines to get us to our function sooner than Monday.

    While they did refund us the full amount of our airfare, we were unable to get the condo rental fees refunded because of the short notice of cancellation. This was the first time I've had an airlines attempt to find flights to accommodate a customer needs. We will never use Frontier Airlines again and will recommend to all our friend that they do not fly Frontier Airlines. Please a customer and the customer tells 10 people--do the customer wrong--they tell between 100 & 500 people. I'm sure my wife & I will tell at least that many how poor Frontier Airlines is.

    Our flight was delayed once from Detroit Airport two hours later than expected. Our connecting flight in Austin was delayed twice having us wait five extra hours in the airport before it was cancelled completely. We were left with no hotel accommodations by the company and told Frontier did not fly to Vegas for 3 more days with no options besides $150 voucher which I’m sure we will not receive. We had to pay double through JetBlue because it was a last minute flight. We are told we could get that back but have heard nothing since we sent the email to Frontier asking for options. No help with accommodating our nights lost in Vegas at our hotel. Overall a horrible experience and would NEVER fly again or recommend this airline.

    This airline maybe cheaper than other airlines but the quality of customer service is below one star.

No smiles, no “may I help you”.... just angry rude folks working behind a counter. What’s your problem Frontier? Today I gasped in awe how an ticketing counter agent treated multiple customers with her rudeness and snide comments. People were standing to get help, but she was “too busy” looking busy so that she didn’t have to work. At one point she told a customer to “do it yourself” when the customer approached her for assistance. Poor customer just stood there in frustration and shook her head.e told a customer to “do it yourself” when the customer approached her for assistance. Poor customer just stood there in frustration and shook her head.

    Two other ladies ahead of me expressed their disappointment of the agent’s lack of care and demeanor. The two ladies clearly stood there and we all watched the ticketing agent act like she was working and ignoring the customers. When it was my turn, her tone was rude and condescending when I asked for a gate pass to pick up a minor from the gate. You would of thought I asked her to dig a hole and fetch water for me. It’s all in her tone and lack of respect for customers that caused people like me to be disappointed in Frontier. I said to her “why are you being so rude?” I think she was shocked that a customer was standing up to her! She Is Bully! She yelled back “I’m not rude, YOU are!” I was shocked that this Frontier employee acted so unprofessional! She wanted to argue with me. We all observed her nasty demeanor. She refused to give me a gate pass because I called her out.

    Frontier don’t care about customer service because people are going to fly with them due to their cheap airfare. Employees can be dirtbags and treat customers with no respect - it’s accepted at Frontier. When I confronted the manager about the situation, she refused to give me the ticketing employee’s name and said she CAN’T give me her name! She is protecting a horrible employee and as the manager at Frontier, she failed to do her duty to address the situation.

    This is Frontier counter in Denver, CO at DIA. The manager’s name that worked on 5/3/2019 is Paola/Paula at 4 pm shift. Frontier, please train your people to smile at least and act like they enjoy working there. Frontier folks, if you hate dealing with people - you need to quit your job and go work underground where people don’t exist. Paola needs some soft people skills training along with her CO-worker that she is covering up for. The sad part is that a TSA agent commented to me “Frontier has the worst customer service!” The only way Frontier will change - if we the consumer take our business elsewhere. Pay more dollars for another airline that will smile, help you out and treat you with respect. I will never fly on Frontier again and waste my hard earned money on people like Paola/Paula and her team! Low Price = Low customer service

After my return from giving myself insulin I was told I could not check my bag and most leave it behind or dont get on my flight. I have never experienced such discrimination. Why would I leave my luggage behind with my medication. I was told sorry and this airline couldnt even find me another flight to my destination. I had to fly with Southwest and paid 600 to get there one way however free bags free snacks and these people were nice, able and willing to help with anything.

    Frontier was rude, discriminated against me and only wanted to give me a credit not credit my credit card for the inconvenience of not letting me fly with my bag. Why would I want a credit to fly again with your uncredited airline? Everyone was clueless, disrespectful and not willing to make a customer happy. I will never fly with this airline.

    Flight from Nashville to San Jose via Denver. Had already purchased one carry-on and two check-in bags while booking. During check-in at Nashville, both the checked bags were showing 55-60 lbs on the scale and was told we had to pay for extra lbs. We were surprised but thought of removing stuff from the bags. After re-arranging and purchasing another carry-on at check-in, again the bags showed 52 lbs. So we decided to weigh the bags in the neighboring Alaska and Allegiant baggage check stations. Both showed 47 lbs! So our bags were not overweight in the first place! Told the agents at Frontier that their weigh scale was faulty and they seemed least concerned saying it’s not their fault if the scale is not working correctly! They seemed least apologetic and took our money anyways.

    They did not reprint the boarding pass showing we purchased a second carry-on. At Denver, when we asked for reprint of our boarding pass to SJC, the lady at the counter was barking at us saying, "You should have asked the agent in Nashville to reprint". How hard is it to reprint the boarding pass when you have already cheated us of our money? And to be yelled at for no reason. Low-cost airline sure - but low ethics/unethical/illegal practices to fleece people of their money? Used to have no problems with Frontier and have flown before, always ensuring to buy bags, seats, etc. But after this experience, never!

    My family of 4 traveled home yesterday, 05/23/19 on Frontier Airlines from Orlando to Memphis. The concerns began soon after arrival. We checked our baggage and started toward the gate that was assigned on the board. When we arrived at the gate there was no Memphis gate assigned and when asked the airport employees they would answer rudely, "We don’t know where you will be leaving from." Still no announcements close to 2 hours later, finally the gate was announced and we were rushed on... again very rudely as if it were our fault for this delay and lack of information.

    Once the flight began we had reached cruising altitude when a long gray cord fell from the ceiling hitting a man in front of us. Flight attendant assured was nothing serious but moved the individual to another seat. In a few minutes the attendant used his fingers and forced the wire back into the ceiling and said to the other attendant.. We will just get it checked out when we get back to Orlando.

    3rd concern, my son sat in seat 21A and I was next to him. We looked up after the wire dropped and under the light cover there was significant amount black mold. By the time we landed his eyes were watering and coughing. We have flown this airlines for years with no complaints or concerns but I felt unsafe as well as unsanitary following this flight. I feel these tickets should be refunded or another ticket provided. Q.

    DISASTER EXPERIENCE WITH FRONTIER!!! This was my first ever experience with Frontier and I can tell you I will NEVER fly with Frontier again! No price is worth the experience I had, including the unbelievable unpleasant customer service. I was, admittedly, late and running to catch my flight, only to find the gates locked and the plane leaving a full 20 minutes early! I had trouble "checking in" online the day before (the site was not working), but I was able to check in about 1 1/2 hours before on the way to the airport. After missing this flight, I went to the ticketing counter and the agent confirmed that the gates were indeed locked and the flight left early!!! WHAATTT?!?!?! I have NEVER missed a flight before....EVER!

    Frontier had no other flight options to Tampa until 2 days later, so I was forced to rent a car ONE WAY....a decision forced upon me that cost me almost $400! Frontier also marked me as a "NO SHOW", which cancelled my return flight as well! I had to call and BEG them to let me keep my return flight. They would not refund any money, give a flight voucher, or even apologize! They just would not admit that they had left early and caused my pain and suffering! They kept putting the blame on me! Whether a person is 3 hours or 3 minutes early, it shouldn't matter. An airline should never leave early without contacting the customer (I received no calls, texts, etc).

    So I did get my return flight, which was another unbelievable experience. The plane was, at the most, 1/2 full and THEY LEFT EARLY AGAIN! I made this flight, but the flight attendant made the announcement that "the doors are locked and we're leaving 10 minutes early". WHAATTT?!?!? As I heard this, I could only think of my experience 2 days earlier and of another poor soul running to miss their flight! I guess this is just something Frontier takes pride in leaving their customers in the dust. Punishing them for not being there an hour early. This is just not real life. People run late for various reasons: making tight connections, getting stuck in traffic on the way to the airport, etc.

    When I called Frontier about this situation, I talked to both a first-line agent and a supervisor. After getting nowhere, the supervisor actually told me that Frontier locks their doors 45 minutes prior to departure! WHAATT?!?! She actually told me this! I hope the conversation was recorded, as they claim, so someone higher up in the company can actually listen to this to prove what she said to me! This was just simply false....so incredibly stupid on her part.

    So, to summarize simply, I was at the gate to board 19 minutes early, there was no agent at the gate, the door/gate was locked, and the plane was pulling away. I missed my flight, forcing me to rent a one-way car for $381, having to beg to keep my return flight, and being blamed for not being there early enough and no one at Frontier thinks there is anything at all wrong with this. Just beware. This WILL happen to you if you are held up for any reason at all and Frontier actually seems to take pride in leaving early leaving their customers. They have absolutely and forever lost me as a customer. They will never make it! (And their so-called bargain prices? Read the fine print!! They nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING). Just beware!!!

    I know why Frontier is rated in the top 5 worst airlines. Just yesterday flying from Philadelphia to Atlanta was delayed from 1:26pm to after 5pm. They gave us two different planes with maintenance issues, the first plane couldn’t be fixed after waiting over 2 hours and the second had a broken a/c that took another 2 hours to fix. By law they had to take the elderly out of their wheelchairs because they were sitting for so long. Customer service was not informative and rude. Then when we landed in Atlanta, we were stuck on the taxiway for another 30 mins. Then our bags were delayed for another hour! This was a Tuesday (yesterday), and didn’t offer a refund and they said they did not have another available flight until Sunday!

    Customer service over the phone was even worst and worthless. Full of false information (saying it was a 2hr delay and bad weather) and didn’t care to offer anything more to remedy the situation. This was my second bad experience with Frontier, and it’s not really cheaper when you have to pay for everything a-la-cart, with so many delays and cancellations. I will never ever fly them again and I hope you don’t either. Save yourselves. And to Frontier I say....shame on you!

    My son was traveling from Tampa to Islip with a few friends. On the day he was supposed to return to Tampa, a Tuesday, his flight was canceled as he arrived at the airport. He was told the earliest flight they could rebook him on was on Thursday but it was into Orlando (a 2-hour drive to pick him up). He reluctantly rescheduled his flight and stayed in NY for 2 more days at our cost. When he arrived at the AirPort on Thursday he found out that his flight has been delayed for an hour and then another hour.

    I contacted Frontier and explained that My son is a Type 1 Diabetic and he is out of insulin and needs to get back to Tampa. They refused to put him on another airline leaving in 1 hour. With much confusion I asked if they were ok with him potentially having a medical emergency due to lack of insulin. The response I received was unbelievable! I was told, "If your son should have a medical emergency while in the airport, there are EMT's available". What?! So then I asked, And what should happen if he has a medical emergency in flight? No response. So, with no help from Frontier, I booked my son a $515.00 one way ticket back to Tampa.

    I am not one for writing negative reviews but I am not only angry, but I feel very cheated by Frontier. Their ticket prices seem like a great deal but there are hidden fees everywhere. I didn’t love that a check in bag was $50 but I figured I got a great deal on my ticket so it was fine. There was a sign directly outside my Kiosk in Utah that said “Two free items!” Which included a carry on plus a personal item (backpack, purse etc) I got on my Utah flight to Denver with no problem. When I got to Denver and was boarding my flight to Greenville I was stopped at the gate and was told I needed to pay $60 for a carry on. YES, A CARRY ON. It is absolutely ridiculous to have to pay MORE for my carry on than my check in bag. I explained I didn’t have this issues at my last connecting flight, and the attendant didn’t even listen to me. She just told me I needed to pay the $60 or I wasn’t allowed to board the plane.

    I looked up their policy and they explained that they do charge for carry on’s (which is not consistently communicated) because it saves their company money.

    Excuse me? If you need to charge for carry on’s when you already have the storage for me, then you have a financial problem as a company that shouldn’t be compensated with ridiculous fees. I’m not done.

    Frontier’s staff during my flight were completely incompetent. You can tell they’re money first and people second. Last thing. The plane was at least 80 degrees, we were told to open up all the vents to ensure airflow but there was hardly air coming out. For 3 hours and 49 minutes we all sat in 80 degrees with no air flow. It was miserable. Pay the extra money for a ticket so you can make sure you are taken care of. Frontier really doesn’t give a crap about you.

On the day of my return I and about 20 others got a text saying the flight was delayed an hour. Apparently this was a “technical difficulty”. We arrived 1 hr and 45 min before the flight was supposed to have taken off, only to find out that there was no delay. We were still 45 min before the original schedule but the lady at the desk said they aren’t taking any more passengers at the desk. You had to have checked in online. But the app wouldn’t allow me to check in online.

    It was an absolute CLUSTER as people kept coming in to find out that the delay text was not their fault, it was the fault of “Denver”. So 20 of us watched the plane board helpless. They said all we could do was rebook and that as a courtesy they would “waive” the $80 flight change fee. Are you freaking kidding me? The kicker is they didn’t even have a flight that left the next day, we would have to wait until Saturday. The other option was driving to San Antonio, and flying with a connnector to Vegas the next day. LMAO! I watched as people called and struggled to find ways to get to see their kids Graduate.

    The ticket prices look very attractive. However, the additional costs for baggage (which is included in the price of many other airlines' tickets) usually ends up costing more than the entire ticket cost with competing airlines. What's more, when I did arrange to bring three bags on my most recent visit and then realized I did not need that many, I called back within 24 hours to learn I could not cancel any of the bags I originally reserved.

Not to mention their "discount den" savings membership costs $60/yr and doesn't even lower the fare to what is advertised. Classic bait and switch. And if you're planning on getting on the plane with anything but the clothes on your back, you better be prepared to pay an additional $35 for a carry-on bag per flight. Literally showed up to be hundreds less than Delta for flight with connections. By the time it was all said and done Delta nonstop ended up being well over $100 cheaper per seat.

We asked where it was and got the same reply. So we are on day 4 now and still no contact from Frontier.

    We called again and finally got someone with customer service skills. She tracked down the bag and got it to us that day. Now why did the bag go from Phoenix to Denver to Las Vegas and finally to Colorado Springs?? Everything in the bag was a mess with bottles leaking. We have always flown Frontier but no more. There is no savings when you add up all of the hidden costs and on top of that the poor customer service and communication. What did we get for all of our inconvenience and aggravation? A $100.00 voucher. You know what they can do with that $100 voucher. We will accept nothing less than a full refund for the flight. I don't even understand how they are still in business.

    Thanks for your vote!
