    The website has a deal for 53.00 and we planned our flights based on that price. I went in and checked the flight price to make sure and sure enough it shows 53.00 so I hit book. At this point the flight price jumps to 294.00... What? Customer service says it is what it is and they can't help us. This is a terrible airline and I will never use them again. I will be telling this story of how my Christmas plans to see my family were ruined because of greedy, sleazy, bait & switch advertising put out by Frontier Airlines.

    I just got off with customer service and spent over an hour on the phone filling out forms online, sending it back to be verified to fly with my ESA. They are requiring me to physically go to my therapist prior to every flight to get her signature on this form. Due to a last minute reservation for work I didn't have the ability to provide her signature, so my ESA was declined.

    I am now having to buy a carrier as well as pay for my ESA to fly as a regular pet. I fly often for work and rarely have 48hrs notice myself. This system is flawed and gives me anxiety just talking with their customer service just for them to say the same thing over and over that they need a signature from your doctor each time you travel as well as 48 hrs minimum to review it.

    I do not feel like I'm being treated fairly with a diagnosed disability of PTSD that this company has induced an attack just by talking with their customer service and being transferred over and over again with zero assistance or resolve. A lot of airlines are changing their regulations, but this is just too much. I provided every piece of information they required with the same answer of we can't help you. I will need to go to my therapist, pay the 200$ fee for the visit prior to every flight.

    I travel about 4 times per month for work so this is not a viable solution for travel with ESA. I can't afford to get a signature from a doctor stating the exact same thing the ESA letter provides. Unless I forged my doctors signature this form is not a solution to traveling with your company with an ESA. Don't waste your time talking with customer service, you will not get anywhere. Just fly with a different airline that accepts ESA and not give you a hard time for your disability.

    Having an ESA is making travel very difficult and based on ADA Americans Disability Act having my ESA is a civil right that I feel I am being discriminated against due to my need for an emotional support animal. We need a better solution. I do not feel I am being treated fairly and I do not think this company has shown any compassion and did not provide a solution.

    They need to add a database that can expire yearly if needed to add your therapist's information into so that they can refer to that so you can complete this form once, have my therapist sign one time rather than each time I fly. I know I'm not the only person in this position, which is why I'm writing this at all. I would like to see more complaints about your experiences with traveling with an ESA so we can hopefully see a change with all airlines and find a solution that doesn't make our lives and travel so difficult.

    Our flight was cancelled due to "maintenance problems". So we had to rent a car and drive back 19 hours. Get home and filled out their return application online. Waited 6 weeks. Nothing. Called them. Got "It will be sent out soon to you." Waited another 3 weeks. Nothing. Called again. Long story short, have been calling for 4 weeks now, they tell me I was approved for the refunds 2 full months ago and to wait another 4-6 weeks. So now after waiting another 4-6 weeks... I called them after a full 2 months. They tell me they have no information that it was ever accepted and now want me to reapply with all the information again. Even though, I did to start with and I got their "Incident # ".

    Then they tell me I can not send any information to them via bank receipts and only want paper receipts to file to get reimbursed for the car rental and gas. Even though it NEVER said that when I filled this report out 4 months ago to what they wanted. This is such a scam. They have all the information right there, all filled out the way they requested. Now they say they don't have this information and want it again, but this time only in paperwork. You get what you paid for. ** airline I have ever flown, and I have flown well over 200 times. This was the very first time I have flown this airline because it was direct flight and good price. It ended up costing me an extra $900 for the car and gas, and 19 hours of driving.

    I have no complaints on my flying experience with Frontier and I think a canceled flight could happen to any airline. However, making you spend $1,600 (I had for passengers) on another flight because they canceled the flight you were supposed to be in and not sending a reimbursement check in a timely manner (or at all in my case) is appalling. Many phone calls later and nothing has happened. The first promise was 14 days, then the check got "lost" and "reissued" and I'm on week five of my second wait and haven't received it yet.

    I did my research and found the General Counsel's address. I plan to give them another week and if I don't receive the check, I will prepare a complaint to be filed with the small claims court. I'm going as far as to mail the complaint to their GC and see if that does the trick but if it doesn't I'm prepared to go all the way. Someone has to draw the line and start a formal record of what this airline is doing. At first I thought my situation was an isolated event but after reading the other reviews here, I realize I'm not alone and, even though I wanted to give the airline the benefit of the doubt, I realize that I was deceived. I don't have their information on me now but I plan to post here at a later date the results of my research for others to use.

    5 Months and No Reimbursement for Canceled Flight - I've been flying for about 8-15 times a year for the last 15 years and have never encountered a situation in which a flight is canceled but the airline reps keeps saying 4-6 weeks for reimbursement. I seriously can't believe that the DOT and Frontier management allows this type of deception to exist at this level. I didn't freak out when the flight was canceled because I felt like the company was legitimate but I won't be surprised if Frontier execs end up in jail sometime in the future. Frontier needs to be investigated immediately.

    We will probably have to rethink flying Frontier with two of our small children on board. As I apologize to the attendant leaving the airplane about my two-and-a-half-year daughter crying, she told me pretty rudely that I would need to be concerned about the other passengers. Just the way it was said in front of the other passengers it look very much that we were unwelcome on the flight. The other attendant ** gentleman, as I was holding my daughter in my lap, told me that she would need to be seated in her seat and the seat belt should be put on, because she paid for the ticket or there would be an alternative plan, which sounded very threatening.

    When looking for inexpensive flights from Philadelphia to Denver I came upon Frontier Airlines. The price was great so we bought 2 round trip tickets. Only after that did I read the reviews. It is because of other negative reviews that I felt compelled to write one of our experience. We would definitely fly with Frontier again. We did not experience any of the personnel issues that I read about. In fact, the attendant on our return flight was so exceptional that I wrote the airlines to recognize him. Yes, the regular seats aren't great but if you want the extra leg room upgrade your seat. I am 5'11" and had no problems. They do charge for food but face it, is the price of a bag of pretzels and a soda worth the difference you would pay for another airlines. We plan to fly Frontier again in the future.

    Health ER required to change flight. Could not do it. Had to call and got charged $20 to talk to a person, charged $99 for change fee. Refund procedure deducts $50 off your flight amount and gives you "shell" which is a credit only. What a ripoff. Also seats are bad and service is lousy, never fly it again.

    Flew Frontier from MCO to PWM on 20 Nov 18, good flight no issues. Return scheduled for 24 Nov 18 was delayed then cancelled after boarding the flight (computer issues). Customer service only offered to refund our return airfare, would not assist with alternate arrangements other than leave two days later on same itinerary. Was told on the third call they would reimburse us up to $400 per person and we would receive an e-mail with details. Customer service reps on the phone tried to tell me the flight was not cancelled despite the fact we were removed from the plane and the gate agents told us it was cancelled. Low prices, poor service and unprofessional. Would like to give them 0 stars.

I was told luggage was left behind in Charlotte and you will get it next day and someone will call you. No one called and when I tried to call no answer, finally someone picked up and had no idea what to do. Long story short still have not received the luggage. Terrible customer service.

    Two days before Thanksgiving my family and I arrived at the airport in Las Vegas to take a Frontier flight to Sacramento that departed at 5 pm. The line was long (at least 30 people) and there were only 2 agents at the counter. We arrived at the airport one hour before the flight that was to depart, but by the time we got to the counter it was 4:25 pm. They refused to take our suitcase because as they explained they need 45 minutes to take our suitcase to the plane. They told us to try it as a carry on at TSA. That didn't work, and we missed the flight.

    When we returned to the ticket counter, the agent that attended to us was busy telling a man who was asking for a wheelchair, it was too late for that. He told the man if he knew he needed a wheelchair, why he didn't arrive earlier? They couldn't do anything for us because they only had that flight and a Sunday flight between LAS and SAC. So, we drove 8.5 hours through the night to Sacramento. The next day they were willing to give us a $25 voucher! What an insult to injury! We are never flying Frontier Airlines again!!!

    STAY AWAY. Frontier Airlines is the worst airline available. Time and time again my flights have been delayed hours, sometimes cancelled. Guess what happens when they cancel? Well, once you're at the gate and you find out that the flight has been cancelled by pure rumours (no representative wants to go anywhere near the counter when this happens), you get to go back out of security and stand in a line for an hour to get the forty dollars you spent on your flight refunded. I wish I could say you get what you pay for, but with this company you get far, far less.

    I will never fly Frontier again. I gave you a chance and you blew it. I’m back to Delta Airlines. The reason for this your seats are very uncomfortable, hard on your legs and back. No free drink of coffee or water or soda. As Frontier charges for this. And Frontier charges for carry on bag. No warning no other airline does this. No wonder you can afford to buy a plane every 30 days on how you're ripping customers off. On top of that try to force a credit card down your customers' throats during flight. Don’t ever worry about me being a customer again. I’ll be on any airline except Frontier Airlines. If anyone is smart go elsewhere. If I could I give Frontier Airlines a -50 star rating. When I got to Orlando from New Orleans my bag ended up on the other side of the airport. An inconvenience only the airport could tell me. Not even the airline tell their customers.

    Frontier canceled a flight from Tampa to Cincinnati at the last minute for "maintenance problems". There was no assistance provided for rebooking, each person was left on their own. The airline makes it intentionally difficult to get compensation for the trouble they caused: no live agent, no booking assistance, and after filing a complaint with the invoices occurred due to rebooking travel, no compensation. A $100 voucher for a future flight on Frontier does not cut it. We had to spend 3x our original cost and fly into a different airport, then spend $$ to get home and recover our car at the original airport. Appalling. I have heard nothing back from this airline other than the stupid $100 voucher for a future flight.

    I recently flew via Frontier Airlines, and one month later, I had an "in-person" charge posted to my credit card. Now, keep in mind that I used to purchase my airfare online. I also said NOT to keep my CC info for future use. I never purchased anything during the flight. This only means one thing: they are not keeping credit card information secure, and/or they have some criminal enterprise running on the inside. Do not use Frontier Airlines, the money you save may be stolen back from you. Now, no thanks to Frontier, I have to re-establish all of my credit card recurring payments.

They feel that even though it doesn't even come close to the expenses incurred even for the original ticket, they feel that a $100 voucher for future travel on THEIR airline is more than enough compensation!

    8/12/18 from Orlando to Cincinnati Flight 1961. Had a flight canceled in August from MCO to CVG. Was given a couple of options of another Frontier flight, none of worked with my situation. Booked with another airline using the website they provided me at the gate. Was told I would be reimbursed 400 pp in 5-7 business days. 6 phone calls and countless emails later I have yet to receive my refund. Lie after Lie after Lie. Was even told that a check was mailed with a check # provided. I was told to allow 14 days for it to arrive. After 14 days and no check, I called back. They stated they would cancel the check and mail another. With that being said, after 14 days even though the check was "canceled" it still should have arrived at my house by now, 22 days later.

    Charges and costs look good initially, but come into range of others with baggage up charges and fees. Worst part is the amazingly uncomfortable seating. Plastic seats on all flights I used recently with padded slipcovers. No reclining makes for really bad back experience for flight over an hour. Everyone around me was up and stretching out every hour or so. My wife was almost in tears by end of four hour flight. Crew was fairly indifferent too in attitude. Kinda surprising.

    I find Frontier and their pricing model deceptive. Creating a terrible customer experience. Recently had a round trip flight from Denver to San Diego. United was our outbound carrier and Frontier was our returning carrier. The problem is Frontier's website makes it very difficult to add services like bags and then force you to pay a higher fee at the airport for running a credit card. Talk about sticking it to the customer. United site was very easy to navigate and know exactly what you are paying for and complete the transaction. Much better experience. Frontier is a ripoff I will only fly them in the future if I absolutely have to! Their flight ended up twice as much as United and an extremely bad experience from the website to the check in counter. They hide the fact that you don't have to pay for a seat on the site as well.

I ended up purchasing 2 AA flights via Charlotte to Sarasota (and NOT Orlando!) and arrived to my destination at 2 am instead of 9 pm.

    My wife has serious medical issues (scoliosis and chronic TMJ pain) and single non-stop flight was needed to minimize her pain. This 10-hour ordeal was extremely painful and stressful for her.

    I'm going to make this real short, I've used Cheap Caribbean for many trips especially to the Dominican Republic. I recently booked a trip to Punta Cana and got a "GREAT DEAL", however to keep the cost down they used FRONTIER AIRLINES. Not knowing their reputation did not think twice. We showed up at the PHILADELPHIA FRONTIER DESK over an hour before the flight was boarding. There were three couples trying to board including my wife and myself. The clerk states that we are late and that we can board the plane however not our luggage and that it would get there three days later. Obviously this was not a viable option, so we asked for the supervisor.

    The supervisor arrives about twenty minutes later, and said, "If my lead person says you're late that's it." I asked how late were and she said SIX MINUTES but then she let the one couple board with luggage because the clerk then told the supervisor that the one couple was not late, however we were all standing there together. I cannot believe I am even writing this right now, but I truly want people to know what a horrible experience we had. Needless to say we did not make our trip. One please be aware of the flights that you choose with Cheap Caribbean, it's well worth it to pay a little more for a peace of mind. Two NEVER USE FRONTIER AIRLINES.

    Just 3 hours before our departing flight, I got a text saying our flight was delayed for 3 hours. When I was on the phone with customer service I got another text saying the flight was cancelled. Of course no other flights that day. They offered 3 solutions 1. Fly to Denver next day, stay the night and then fly to Orlando. 2. Fly to Orlando on Saturday or 3. Take a refund on the returning flight. Took refund, since we had to get home. Refund will take 7-10 days but we got a voucher for 100 (like we will ever use that). Frontier, huge disappointment. In the past when an airline cancelled my flight and if no other flight was available with them they would find another airline. Frontier, you should have refunded my entire ticket price and offered to pay a night in the hotel. BUT, I guess this is all my fault, I get what I pay for. Never again.

    Planning a surprise trip home to visit family from RSW-PHL. Flight scheduled to depart at 9:09 Wednesday 10/17. Arrive to the airport at 7 pm to see frustrated customers at the Frontier desk. Turns out flight was cancelled with NO NOTIFICATION! The desk staff was very rude saying an email had been sent at 4:45 notifying of the cancellation. There was not a single person in that line that received any notification. We were able to get seats on a plane leaving today. My 8 year old was with me and keeps begging me to check status of flight today to make sure we are able to get to our destination. This is only the 2nd time flying Frontier but not happy with this experience at all!

    August 20th 2018. My Flight got canceled 1 hr before we are supposed to depart. Did not assist in any way to get us back home like any other airline would. Sent in my receipts and waited the 6 weeks for the reimbursement check to arrive. Did not arrive so I called again which is actually very difficult to get a hold of a damn representative. I was told I had to wait another two weeks for my check. I have already waited 8 weeks. Now I was told I could have to wait ANOTHER 4-6 and still have not gotten my check back from this worthless airline. There is ABSOLUTELY NO INTEGRITY, HONOR, OR RESPECT FOR THE CLIENTS.

    On July 24th 2018, while waiting for a departure to Chicago at the Cancun Airport Frontier Airlines canceled suddenly a flight due to "lack of crew", leaving all of us > 100 passengers, stranded at the airport. After a long time and debate what to do with all of us, Frontier representative provided us with a letter, in which they wrote, that if we purchase a ticket on another airline, the Frontier will reimburse for that ticket up to $400. My travel companion and I had a chance to purchase still available at that time tickets ($369.10 my ticket) with Southwest Airline, so we could get home.

    Finally my travel companion received her check from Frontier a week ago, after a long "battle" with Frontier customer service representative, I am still waiting for mine. Meantime I am still exchanging emails with one of the Frontier representative name B., who admitted in one of emails, that Frontier sent a check to my travel companion, but on the other hands she is trying to find different reasons, why Frontier is not willing to reimburse me for that extra ticket I had to purchase, in order to return home, as Frontier promised in the contract letter provided us at the Cancun Airport. I have this letter for the further references. It is a nightmare.

    I just would like to received that reimbursement and never again fly with Frontier.

    Worst airline ever, we were doing a surprise trip prior to my daughter’s deployment to Disney. We sat in the terminal for 4.5 hours before they decided to cancel the flight. Our scheduled trip was from Wednesday - Sunday, the soonest Frontier could get us there was Saturday. We had to rebook 9 people with a different airline flight. We still had to pay the car rental, and hotel for that day. Two trips back and forth to the airport Wednesday, and back again Thursday. Of course we couldn’t get a flight out for $400 so we were stuck with the difference. We were late for the Halloween Disney event. Total loss for 9 people $2000, all I get was a sorry for the inconvenience. I would give 0 stars if it was possible.

    My fiancé and I (over 65) walked into Denver International airport just yesterday (10/06/18) to a mob of almost 300 people waiting to have their baggage dropped off. When we finally reached around the corner where we could see the counter, there were quite a few stations that were void of workers. We then were told to go through security and once we did we were told by the ticket agent that we were to go to gate A78. We were almost there when some nice people said that the gate had been switched to A34. We had to double back where we came from.

    When we finally arrived at the correct gate the plane was just boarding. Mind you we were at the airport 2 1/2 hours before the flight was to take off. The seats were horrible, very uncomfortable and felt like we were sitting on wood, no leg room. Finally arrived at our destination airport and then waited 40 minutes for the luggage carousel to even start. We will never, ever fly Frontier Airlines again, even if they gave the tickets away for free. Surprised they are still in business. Horrible airlines.

    We booked (2) seats on Frontier (1 for my pregnant daughter and her 1 yr old son) with her being overweight and pregnant we thought best option for the flight. After we processed online, a message came up. Our reservation was pending and we needed to contact customer service. We call the # only to be told that the 2 seats we booked and paid for on 10/1/18 were not available and that they needed to push us out to 10/3/18 and for an extra cost per seat. When my daughter confirmed they had already charged her card she started to explain to them that what they were doing sounded like a scam, getting people to pay online only to be told they needed to pay more money for another flight they didn't want.

    The Customer Service Rep then changed her tone stating she didn't want an "unhappy" customer and was "working" with my daughter putting her on hold multiple times. The rep then came back and stated she could get her on the 10/1/18 flight but that she could give her one seat (having her son sit on her lap) for the same cost as the 2 seats she just paid for. My daughter then inquired about the policy on overweight people explaining she's a big person, again put on hold. The rep came back and said they have no policy for that. Needing to get to Boston that day my daughter agreed to take the flight but was highly upset that she paid for 2 seats and got talked down to one with no price reduction.

    Upon traveling to airport my daughter went online to arrange for Assistance at check in being pregnant and traveling with a toddler, once inside she was told they did not have the staff to support that but offered her a wheelchair to get to her gate. Upon all the chaos my daughter's diaper bag with important docs inside was left at the checkpoint so we had to get this bag mailed to us. The only pleasant part of this transaction was the staff on the plane (that had PLENTY of empty seats). They did accommodate her with 2 seats for her and her child and were very helpful. This airline was a complete nightmare otherwise. I personally would never use them after seeing what she went thru. Total scam for sure.

They responded very rudely that you are not allowed to board this flight and book another flight on some other day.

    Decided to try flying with Frontier Airlines for my first time and it will be my last time - if I ever get back home. Frontier flights were being delayed and cancelled left and right in the terminal. They were having people switch gates as well. Waiting 5 hours with delay after delay to say our flight was cancelled. No voucher offered, no hotel compensation, no apologies, no explanation at all, except to rebook our flight for the next day. Frontier had one person to try and respond to over 100 people with no supervisors to assist. This did not only happen to my flight, but was happening to the majority of Frontier Airlines flights in my terminal. The terminal started off with a few people and ended up with a terminal (overflow) of irate passengers. I was told I cannot get reimburse for my hotel stay after Frontier cancelled my flight. Very frustrating experience. Never again.

    Charlotte to Philly, Friday 2:28 flight 1028, boarded the plane on time, Hooray. The incompetent jetway woman bumped the airplane door, barely. Pilot (captain) gets pissed off, deplanes all passengers and calls maintenance. They clear the plane, no problem, pilot delays reloading the plane for some unknown reason. We line up to board again, to leave only 2 hours late, not too bad for Frontier. Then the screen changes, said we aren't going to leave until 10 pm. (The screen never changed from 10pm BTW.) Why, because the idiot pilot wouldn't allow boarding, then the crew timed out. It actually gets worse. They say they are going to issue refunds, then meal vouchers. The same woman that caused the whole incident now prints meal vouchers for the wrong flight. This took almost an hour, because the printer ran out of paper. Then they had to reprint the vouchers, another half hour passes.

    People are getting extremely angry, as we are getting emails from Frontier about the delays, vouchers, etc, but the counter women were saying nothing except, "I don't know." Get an email, now says leaving at 12 midnight, 9.5 hours LATE. I talked to customer service personally for almost an hour, all she could do was give me a refund. She said the next available flight on Frontier to Philly was 5 days away, October 3. Refused to re-book on another airline, offer an overnight stay, NOTHING. Then she said she would book on another airline, the next day, but refused to authorize a hotel accommodation. She said only the gate people could do that. Yes, still getting worse. Well guess what, there were no gate people, they took off for several hours while we sat there in total confusion and disbelief.

    Several people were talking to customer service, and they kept saying to talk to the gate people, but they couldn't seem to understand the simple fact there were no gate people on site. When they do FINALLY show up, a near riot takes place. Your gate people are literally screaming at the passengers simply demanding a few answers. I'm sure this is on social media somewhere, because several people were videoing. Then a baggage handler comes out and basically threatens everyone that she will ask people who are "non-compliant" to leave, then she proceeds to call the police!!! 8 police show up and start screaming at everyone, mostly the passengers.

    This too should be on social media. Then people from the airport show up, one of them was the "cot guy", who provides cots to customers stranded in the airport. WTF? We were under the impression that we were going to leave at midnight. Now mass confusion takes place, police are pissed, passengers are pissed, gate people are pissed. Finally, someone comes out of somewhere and said we are leaving at 11:45pm, now only 9 hours late! How on earth do you operate an airline? It's simply pitiful and inexcusable to be treated like this.

    Finally boarded and left around midnight. The last straw was the flight crew actually had the unmitigated GAUL to ask if we wanted to purchase anything to eat or drink. 10 plus hours late and you want us to BUY something to eat or drink? Not even an offer for some free water. Don't take my word for it please. Feel free to contact any passenger who actually boarded the flight and ask them. Unbelievable!

    On my way to Salt Lake City from Albuquerque, both of my flights were delayed. This was only the beginning of my problems with This airline. On my way home was supposed to originally leave Saturday morning at 11:23 AM. Flight was delayed due to some reason unbeknownst to me. Because of this delay and I had a connection flight with the same airline, I would end up missing my connection flight. This airline wanted to do nothing to help me. They could not get me on another flight for a couple of days, but then only offered me a one night hotel stay. What was I supposed to do the other night, sleep on the streets because they had an issue? Then I decided to get a flight with another airline, because I actually did need to get home to get back to work.

    Believe it or not my work life does not revolve around airlines having delays. So I get the other ticket, and was told they could not refund my ticket, even though the delay was their fault. So they won’t refund your money, can’t get you on a plane for a couple more days, and only give you a hotel for one night and leave you out with nowhere to stay for the other two? Maybe I’m crazy, but shouldn’t the company who is putting you out to be the ones who are inconvenienced and not the paying customer? So not only would I have been left with nowhere to stay, I also had to get a new airline, and ended up paying $231 out of pocket just so I could still get home on the day that I needed to. Because “they” have a delay.

    This is the worst service I’ve ever received, and I will never ever fly this airline again, and I recommend that you don’t either, unless you would like a big headache and to be out of pocket - at the mercy of their ineffective policies, that protect them, while leaving those of us who are paying for a service are put out on the street and out of pocket to cover their inability to Perform. If I’m paying for a flight, and you have a delay, then you need to be the one that is inconvenience not me. That’s called customer service, and simple common sense. In the end, the manager at the customer service did refund my ticket for the one-way home. However because I had to buy a new ticket the same day, I was still out $231 of my own money regardless of the $150 refund that I was given. Huge inconvenience, not to mention the worst service I’ve ever received from an airline.

    Our 12 hour horrible experience with Frontier flight 1620 began at 12:38 PM on 9-25-18 when we received the first of what would be 8 texts and email messages delaying our flight. Since we had a rental car, we had to make sure we would get back in time so as not to incur additional costs. This meant we would need to arrive four hours early to the airport - oh well, an inconvenience, but not the end of the world. After arriving at Orlando airport, the texts and emails alerts started. About every two hours, a new message would state another couple of hours of delay.

    As we approached the Frontier ticket counter we were not alone. Several prospective passengers were questioning the attendants as to what the issue was. After several delay announcements, it was evident that the attendants were reciting their rehearsed script and stringing passengers on for that glimmer of hope that the flight would not be canceled - and this is what I found so upsetting. Not just our flight, but at least four others were going through the same ordeal, and not for one second do I believe that those frontline employees did not know that a cancellation was all but certain.

    Traveling in our group was a diabetic, and a chemo/cancer patient - what other situations did the hundreds of other passengers have? Yet, no information on lodging was provided and of course no voucher offered. No meal voucher, not even an alternatives offered. Instead, you had a pregnant attendant trying her best to recite the corporate policies lies when it was obvious that she didn’t herself believe them. At one point she left the counter visibly shaken and went in a back room to take a break from it all.

    It is indefensible that Frontier didn’t immediately recognize and then convey to its customers the truth. That would have allowed us to make other arrangements instead of stringing us along for hours of stress until the ultimate cancellation announcement at 12:56 AM - about 10 hours after we arrived at MCO airport. So the bottom line, you missed a great opportunity to help your customers during a bad situation by being honest at the beginning and trying to help. Instead, you offered no alternatives, no information, whatsoever, and in the end tried to appease us with a voucher that expires in 90 days - that itself is laughable! “Hey you know that hard earned vacation we get once a year, let’s ask for another in the next 90 days and give Frontier a second chance!” I’m sure the fact that very few could take advantage of those vouchers within 90 days was factored in during your policy creation.

    It is inevitable that bad customer experiences will occur in any organization. What makes the difference is how those situations are managed and in this case, Frontier blew it. We searched, but found no other flights to our Cincinnati destination, so we ended up renting a vehicle and headed out for our 14 hour drive at 2:00 AM at an expense of over $400. Thankfully all of the supervisors from our employers were understanding of the additional missed day of work. Frontier made it possible to end a positively great Florida vacation on a positively horrible note.

    I have booked with Frontier for 3 flight legs. Of the 3, 2 flights have been cancelled. On the most recent cancellation, my brother and I booked tickets directly from the Frontier site from San Diego to New Orleans. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 11:30AM. Just prior to leaving to the airport, I received a notification that the flight was delayed 45 minutes. OK, no big deal... On our way to the airport, I received a second notification that it was now delayed until 2:00PM. An hour later, now delayed until 2:45PM. When we arrived at the airport, and given my previous cancelled Frontier flight, I spoke with the person who checked our bags. I asked if the inbound flight that we would take to New Orleans was actually going to get to San Diego. He said he believed so. I told him about my previous cancelled flight and he rattled off 3 stories about flights being cancelled due to co-pilots and attendants refusing to stay on the flight at layovers. Hmmm, not good.

    Our airplane was scheduled to arrive from San Antonio and I started to track it to make sure that it actually left the ground. It left and was scheduled to arrive at 2:50PM. I figured if it was in the air, we would have our flight out, albeit 3.5 hours late. So the plane lands, everyone exits, and everyone is beginning to line up to board. We are standing there for about 15 minutes and they close the gate door. At 3:05PM an announcement is made that the flight was cancelled. The "crew timed out". What? If that is the case, they should have either rounded up replacements while the plane was in route or let us all know so we could make other arrangements.

    My brother went to grab our luggage and I ran to Southwest to try and find a flight with them. We missed the cutoff for their last flight by 5 minutes. Brought up Kayak and looked across all airlines. Due to the late timing of the announcement, there were no alternate flights available to New Orleans. We had to be there by 6AM the following morning to catch a 7AM train. Now that was impossible. We cancelled our entire trip as we could not get to our end destination on time without spending at least $600 each for a one-way ticket to an alternate city. Unfortunately my brother lost the opportunity to go to his first Alabama football game experience, I lost hundreds of dollars in prepaid hotel rooms or hotel rooms that were beyond the cancellation window. Frontier refunded our fare and provided a $150 voucher to each of us. I will never fly Frontier again, not even using the voucher as I have no faith that I will ever make it to my destination.

I purchased the tickets along with upgraded package to allow baggage. Flight out to Colorado no problems. Coming home 9/28 our flight was scheduled to leave at 7:10 am... We boarded on time but then were asked to deplane a while later. They told us there was an electrical issue... The flight was then delayed 5 1/2 hours...which we were supposed to have a connection in Chicago and then on to Jax.

    We were told when deplaning in Chicago that they were not sure if we were going to be on the same plane due to the fact that it was the exact same plane that was down because of earlier electrical issues. We went to restroom and when we came out accidentally turned the wrong way and had to go through security again... (The terminal we were in only had 1 gate) Was told earlier this was an old non used section of the airport...not sure why but who knows... Ok no prob. We went through to security.

    Then the TSA agent told us we needed a gate pass due to the airlines not putting Chicago to Jax on our tickets??? So we sprinted to desk. They printed and security let us right up front. This total transaction was literally 10 mins. When we got back to the gate there was no one at the desk but plane was there. We tried to find someone but no luck. Remember this was a 1 gate terminal. Finally after another 10 mins an agent came off the plane... And then she refused to let us on...she stated she has already had to work 5 and a half hours over her shift ends...same time as flight delay. We explain we have our carry one on board with wallet included. She stated it was not her problem. And got her stuff and left.

    We waited at the gate another 20-30 mins in hopes someone would come by. The plane was still there the entire time. Finally we went to ticketing and they said there was nothing they could do. Why didn't they call desk agent in the beginning to let them know we had to get gate passes is beyond me. Long story short they told us the best they could do is get us on a flight 2 days later... what!!! Then how are we going to get our carry ons back. After having to pay out of pocket for new tickets and having to have the bank help us with temp. CC... the only luck we had was our IDs were in our pocket. They promised refund. Went online to check...guess what? Only a partial refund??? And when checking that THIS IS THE kicker. They charged my card 2 times for the whole flight.

On Sunday, plane was delayed in San Antonio a couple of times, then we were told it was canceled. They needed a part coming from Denver. Agent told us that we would get meal vouchers and hotel vouchers and would definitely be taken back to CLT on Monday morning.

Then, we were told this was not correct. We were able to book another airline the next morning, but we had to pay upfront. Frontier is supposed to reimburse us, but it is unclear how much or when.

    Meanwhile, we are out $579.00 and my wife had to use a day of vacation. I submitted a reimbursement claim and they refused to pay me back.

I felt as though the employees did not care about any of the passengers needs at all and only gave responses that would make people leave them alone. I was offered a travel voucher for Frontier, which is absolutely the last thing I would ever want. I will never contemplate buying another ticket with Frontier. I had to spend $498.20 on a new flight this last time, with a very superior and well organized airline, Delta. I highly recommend spending the extra money on a Delta flight first time around. It's worth it. Plus, in circumstances like mine, you're going to be forced to buy a new flight anyways so may as well choose any airline besides Frontier. "Low fares, done terribly wrong. We are a scam," should be their new slogan.

    I had a layover in the Denver Airport, and I was looking for Gate 40 to catch a flight to Portland Oregon. When I got to Gate 40 I noticed the flight was going to Cincinnati. I looked around for a board to tell me where my gate was changed to, but I did not see one. There was no one at the kiosk at Gate 40 to assist me, so I went to the next gate down, and asked a woman (maybe Asian or Indian descent) and male (** dark hair and glasses) for help. Before I could ask my question they bluntly refused my help. They said I will need to ask the person at the desk when the return. I was shocked at their response. After being in customer service for over 20 years, I could not believe an employee from Frontier Airlines, not only refused to help me with my question, I did not even have the opportunity to ask my question. If they were busy, I could understand, however, they were both standing there people watching.

    If a total stranger asked me for help, I would have helped them without hesitation, and I’m not even an employee of Frontier. I was completely appalled by this experience. I walked further down, to ask for help at the next gate, which looked really busy, so I turned around, to go the other way. This time, when I walked by the employees, they were shaking their heads at me like I did something wrong asking for help. I went back to Gate 40 and this time there were 2 employees standing at the kiosk. I politely told asked one of the young ladies (both **) if she could help me. I said that my boarding pass was showing my flight to Portland Oregon was leaving from Gate 40, however, now it's showing the flight was going to Cincinnati. The girl cocked her head, blinked her eyes, and said, "that is a printed boarding pass sir”. It was obvious to me that the Frontier employee was being as condescending as she could.

    At that point I could have used a smile and some help, but instead, I was humiliated by another Frontier employee who refused to help me. I looked around, but there was no one else I could ask. I said, "Thank you, I really could use your help right now. Telling me it’s a printed ticket is not helping me." As I was walking away, the girl yelled, “Don’t ask for help then!” It didn’t end there. While boarding the plane, one of the flight attendants was rolling her eyes at the elderly man in front of me, and snickered at me to include me into the joke.

    When I asked the flight attendant if she was making fun of that passenger, her (blonde **) and the other female flight attendant (**) looked at me as if I was being rude. I guess I missed what was so funny about the older gentleman in front of me. All I could think of is this man probably fought for our country and lived a long and hard life, just be made the butt of a joke and humiliated publicly. After this experience, I will never fly on Frontier Airlines again. I will not tolerate myself or others being embarrassed and humiliated by their employees.

    Booked 4 two-way tickets (CLT-SAT and back) for Thursday (Aug 30, 2018) and Sunday (Sept 2, 2018). Seemed like a great deal. Thursday night, the plane was delayed for close to 3 hours because of maintenance issue in San Antonio. On Sunday, plane was delayed in San Antonio a couple of times, then we were told it was canceled. They needed a part coming from Denver. Agent told us that we would get meal vouchers and hotel vouchers and would definitely be taken back to CLT on Monday morning.

    After waiting a few more hours, we were told - "No meal vouchers." We got a hotel voucher, but others were still waiting for theirs when we left. The Manager would not come down to explain anything. Two agents were trying to help - both telling us different information. We were told we would get vouchers to use on Frontier and get $500 cash for each traveler, to help with our inconvenience. Then, we were told this was not correct. We were able to book another airline the next morning, but we had to pay upfront. Frontier is supposed to reimburse us, but it is unclear how much or when.

    Meanwhile, we are out $1699 and my husband had to use a day of vacation. Other travelers could not afford to book another flight so they were waiting and hoping that Frontier would fly them back today (Tuesday). I hope they got another hotel voucher for last night, but they would have had to pay for food today. Terrible communication. Outright lies or misinformation should never be given out to customers like it was. This company does not seem to care about its customers. Very disappointing.

    DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LET THE PRICES FOOL YOU!!! What they’re not telling you, is that they charge you for every single thing you can think of short of bathroom use. Which I’m sure will come soon. Plus all of the hidden fees that you won’t find out about until after something happens. Based on the reviews I’ve seen, just wait until your flight gets delayed, or canceled. It’ll cost you a great deal of time, and money, while costing Frontier nothing. One can argue that it costs them their reputation (which isn’t much to begin with), and customers, but there’s a sucker born every minute unfortunately. So one way or another, they’ll get their money, plus hundreds of dollars more from you. When all is said and done, you were better off dishing out that extra $50 for a higher quality airline that won’t nickel and dime you for everything.

    Now time for my story about my first, and last ever flight with Frontier. I booked a flight from Raleigh - New Orleans on August 24th for me and my girlfriend for our first ever trip there. Flight F91787 leaving at 3:20PM, and on the way back on August 27th, flight F91788 leaving at 5:25PM. Thankfully, and mercifully based on the reviews I’ve been reading, both of my flights were on time. Otherwise I’m sure I would’ve been stranded for days at the airport, or spent almost $1,000 more on another airline to come back on time.

    My issue comes when I checked in for my flight, and I found out that they charge you $45 to carry on your own bag!!! Say what??? I was heated, 'cause this meant both ways. This really would’ve added an extra $180 on the flight for both of our bags $90 going, and $90 back. Me and my girlfriend brought carry ons, and packed only the necessities for that weekend for the sole purpose of not having to pay for baggage, and risking having our luggage lost. Don’t even get me started on how NONE of the kiosk machines were working. Luckily, the line was short, because as I’m reading through the reviews, this is done intentionally in hopes you miss your flight so they can squeeze more money from you. Unethical business practice!!!

    As for the plane, it was sketchy at best. The trays were maybe a little bigger than envelopes, and they charge you for soft drinks and snacks! $2.99 for a small, plastic cup of mostly ice and a splash soda. $3.00 for a snack. Talk about a rip off. This is the only airline I heard of that charges for carry on bags, and things that should be complimentary on the flight. The seats were very thin and uncomfortable and it was hard to keep still as I had to keep readjusting myself so that my back didn’t hurt.

    As I have stated in my opening paragraph, spend that extra cash on a much better airline. By the time you’re done with Frontier, you’ll see that you paid the regular price that other airlines offered, or worse, way more than what they were offering anyway. Frontier would squeeze as much as they can out of you, while giving you very little in return. It seems I got off light in comparison with many others. Please take these reviews seriously and do not use them! I have personally made it my business to inform as many people as I can to never use Frontier. They need to be shut down.

    I flew with Frontier Airlines several times and the experience was okay. But my last 2 flights one in June 2018 & the last one Aug.16 2018 & they both were a nightmare for me. Both flights were canceled at last minute as the passengers sat waiting to get on the planes. Both canceled because of maintenance problems. And the flight in June we were on the plane after we sat waiting for almost an hour after the scheduled flight time to depart, the plane coasted around the building parked and we were told to depart (after sitting for about 20 min.) and to leave our items on the plane because the plane had brake issues. We sat in the airport for about an hr. more and then an employee came over the loudspeaker to inform us (in a language that no one could understand) that the flight was canceled.

    Everyone went into panic mode. The front desk attendants disappeared from the desk for about 30 min. (they went back on the plane), & came back with our stuff we left on the plane (only 2 people) to remove items for about 300 passengers (ridiculous) that took forever & basically they just place everything in a cluster on the floor and everybody rushed at the same time (like a pack of animals at feeding time) to get their things. When the staff decided to come back to the desk area to address the customers they had a paper about Voucher Options for us that was confusing as heck that just caused more confusion & chaos to a already angered group of around 300 people that just wanted to get out of there.

    The staff also informed that they had a few flights on their airline later in the day for Cincinnati Ohio or Cleveland Ohio (this flight was supposed to go to Columbus Ohio) that they can try to put a few people on. So now you have everyone rushing to the desk all at once to try to get the lucky flights (it was a mess). After all the flights were booked maybe around 15 seats you still had all those other people left stranded wondering what to do. I saw people crying, mad & confused because of how this airline (Frontier) was treating them. Oh by the way after the 15 or so were booked it was announced that there were no more flights out until Sunday (and it was Thursday) so there was families stuck with maybe 5 or more people in a group left to figure out what to do next.

    I have never seen or been in a mess like that with an Airline and it turned my stomach for this company on how uncaring their staff is. And for this to happen to me in less than 2 months says a lot to me about Frontier. If they keep canceling flights for maintenance problems weekly what is really wrong with the planes because now I don't feel safe flying on them. If you want to book a flight and get to your destination without fearing as you're sitting in your seat waiting to board the plane and the flight being canceled in your face don't book a flight with Frontier because they SUCK! THE WORST AIRLINE EVER! AND THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN! Very unorganized company that steals people's money.

    We were scheduled for a flight from New Orleans to Philly. Flight canceled due to maintenance grounding plane in Philly. Plane available in New Orleans, but no crew. Told by multiple Frontier employees that there would be no $ limit for alternate ticket purchases since it was a Frontier issue (as opposed to weather). Next available Frontier flight was in 2 days.

    After purchasing alternate tickets (cheapest was $500) received an email limiting ticket reimbursement to $400/person + $200 flight voucher OR original unused portion of ticket reimbursement + $500 flight voucher. Flight vouchers had to be booked in 90 days AND in original passenger name. Fairly restrictive if you don't fly often. Called Customer Service number... Waited on hold for 45 minutes. Representative told there is no one with authority (including managers) to offer anything but the $400 reimbursement. The only way to request more would be to submit for the reimbursement and see if they would approve more.

    Submitted reimbursement requesting just enough to cover my out of pocket expenses caused by their cancellation. Included a 2 page letter outlining the situation AND the directions I received from both the Gate Agent and Ticketing Counter Agent as well as the Customer Service Representative. Heard nothing back until I received an email stating "Your reimbursement has been approved and you should receive your check in a few days". Ok, sounds great. Check arrives... $95!!! That's not even the reimbursement of my canceled flight tickets. No indication what that amount was derived from just a check and blank statement with no details.

    Call Customer Service again. They state they have no control over the auditing department that handles reimbursements and I need to contact them by responding to the email I received. "The email that states at the bottom 'Automatic System DO NOT reply?" I asked. "Yes" they told me. I have, no response. So I had a canceled flight, no alternative ticket options that fell within their restrictions, Customer Service Representatives that say they have no authority to do anything, and a Reimbursement Department that has no contact number and doesn't respond to emails.

    My last steps are to file an official complaint with the Department of Transportation Consumer Affairs division and maybe the federal government can get some sort of response. Only fly with Frontier if you can afford to be delayed several days or if you are ok with not being compensated if you have to make alternative arrangements. Contacting the airline apparently will get you nothing more than wasted time on the phone.

The price was right for 3 people... if we took no baggage and didn't care if we sat together. They claim that they do their best to keep people together so I did not pay for seats. What airline is going to put little kids with strangers, right? Well this airline doesn't care. We were seated in completely different areas of the plane. Thank God for kind people who were willing to move around when they saw us. The flight there ended up being ok and I did pay for a checked bag that all 3 of us shared.

    Fast forward to the return flight. I have the app on my phone. I check in the day before and the next day I check the app to be sure the flight is on time. We then load into the car and drive 1.5 hours to the airport. We then find out the flight has been canceled and there is nothing available until Friday, the 27th. Yup, that's right. It's Monday... They can't get us home 'til FRIDAY!!! WHAT?!

    They offer to refund fare. How are we supposed to get home? Last minute flight on other airlines is about $1500 for 3 people. I can't pay that! They basically shrug and say, "Do you want to get on Friday's flight or not?" That's it. They say it's due to weather though my friends and family in Orlando are saying it is gorgeous out and there is only a small storm later in the pm. They offer nothing! Not a voucher for a meal, or food on the flight, or hotel. Nothing! It's weather (or so they say) and there is nothing they can do about that. UGH!!! This airline is awful and uncaring. They are not cheaper! If you need any clothing or to sit with your family... it will cost the same as Delta 'til you pay for it all. So just fly Delta to begin with. I'd give them 5 stars!

    I will never book with Frontier Airlines again. I made a mistake of picking a flight on Expedia based of airfare and time. Went to check about carry on bag dimensions and saw that they charge $35 for carry on items/bags (the type that other airlines charge $0 for). I called them (8/14/18 @ ~ 2:18 p.m. PST) and indeed, found out that I and my sons would each be charged $35 for small carry on bags. Also, found out by sheer luck, that checked bags would have cost me $60 each if I had waited to pay at the counter while checking in. So, now, this flight will now actually cost at least $105 more (per direction) than many other flight options I had when booking through Expedia. Again, as I originally wrote, "I made a mistake..." I WILL NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN and have written this review to help others avoid making this very same mistake.

    Lastly, as an aside, when speaking with the Frontier Airlines representative, I let her know (very calmly and politely while doing my best to suppress my laughter) that the mistake was mine and having learned my lesson, that I would never book another flight on Frontier. I offered to give a contact number "in case anyone wished to follow up or even verify if I were a real person/consumer" and got a response something like, "Sorry about your experience, is there anything else?" I then stated that her lack in interest of getting my contact information told me exactly what Frontier Airlines thinks of its consumers. Buyer Beware!

    While it is typically the case that the fares are less than most major airlines, you get what you pay for. I recently took my second flight - and last - on Frontier from AUS to DEN. The issues started at the check-in counter. For years, I have been a TSA pre-screened passenger on just about every US carrier. I was not on Frontier. The airline is the stepchild of the industry so all of their gates are somewhere at the end of most terminals. That involves a long hike from check-in to gate to baggage claim. In DEN it is so far from check-in that I probably could have walked halfway home by the time I got to the gate. Cabin service provides for nothing free except the oxygen, and if they could figure out how to charge for it they would. The seats don't recline, are most uncomfortable, have no leg room, and the tray table is about the size of a Kindle reader, if that.

    On my return trip, the flight attendants made announcements on average about every 15 minutes, half of which were unnecessary. Very annoying. Ironically, the pilots made none. One waits twice as long at baggage claim than other airlines. Perhaps that because their gates are so far from it. Obviously, someone likes to fly this tree top airline because I noticed the DEN check-in counter had about 75 people lined up and overflowing into the terminal space. Perhaps they don't mind the discomfort and annoyance of flying this airline in order to get a few bucks off the fare.

    There are so many HORRIBLE reviews about this airline and I recommend that anyone reading them take them VERY seriously! If by the grace of God they fix the HORRIBLE situation they left me and my family in I will GLADLY amend my review. DO NOT FLY FRONTIER!!! We had a flight delayed and they cancelled in Chicago. Everything that is posted about the amount of flights cancelled and the lack of concern for Frontier "Valued Customers" is ABSOLUTELY true. Our flight was delayed by 2 hours and then cancelled because the pilot and crew had exceeded their allowed flight hours. It was 11 pm on Wednesday night. The next available flight through Frontier was not until Monday. My husband and I were both expected back to work on Thursday.

    Looking into other flights that were sooner we found all flights were well over the $400 cap that Frontier will reimburse you for. The only reason we were able to take our vacation in the first place was what we thought was a great deal on Frontier. At this point we were left stranded at the airport. We did not have that amount of money to pay to get home. For us our best, cheapest, quickest option was to rent a car and drive from Chicago to Phoenix. The insurance, which I also do not recommend, will do nothing to reimburse us because they state our trip was not interrupted by 12 hours. Which actually it was considering we should have been home Wednesday night and did not return home until Friday.

    Frontier did reimburse us for the cancelled flight which did not come close to the extra travel expenses we incurred due to their negligence in cancelling their flight. They are incredibly unsympathetic to causing their "Valued Customers" to be put in awful situations. The woman at the counter, Rosie, was as helpful as she could be, but gave us bad information. We were told that by choosing to rent a car we would be reimbursed for our car rental. FALSE. Not only did Frontier cause us to take on a GREAT deal of travel expenses that we were not financially able to handle, we also missed work. I have submitted my receipts and called the customer service in which I was told there is nothing more they can do at this time.

    It seems to be common practice for this airline to cancel flights due to their own problems with their crew and not do anything to help their "valued Customers." The answer they seem to give to solve the problem is travel vouchers with their company. Which we also did not receive. They do us no good anyway because we do not travel often. I have ZERO faith that even if we were able to use said voucher that the airline would actually provide the flight. Moral of the story DO NOT FLY FRONTIER unless you want to take on unseen travel expenses and total and complete stress. I will post this to AS MANY places possible to hopefully help 1 person or family avoid the total and complete mess this company has left me and my family in. DO NOT FLY FRONTIER!!!

    Will never use Frontier to fly again! Got delayed by a situation outside of my control and missed a flight. Had checked in the night before for baggage. Not only were the attendants at the terminal just shy of outright rude, there was nothing at all they could offer in terms of getting my family on a new flight. Although I had been assured at the airport desk that my bag fees would be refunded, Nope! The fees we had spent ($160) were down the drain as the only response you get from the useless support team is "Baggage is non-refundable." Where is the customer service? We had to spend an extra $1200 just to get home. Not only will I never fly Frontier again, I will do my best to make sure none of my friends or family do so as well.

    I NEVER do this. I have worked in the customer service industry my whole life and choose, when I have a problem, to deal with the place or company directly so that the problem can be resolved. I don't "blast" anyone on social media because I know that pleasing people is a full time job and an impossible one at that. I am more forgiving than most. Frontier Airlines has ended that streak for me. On Sunday we were scheduled to leave out of Bozeman, MT on a 7:37 pm flight. After delaying the flight 3 times they finally cancelled it at 9:15 pm. This was not due to weather or a mechanical issue (they would actually not share what the reason was).

    They presented us with two options, get a full refund for your tickets and a $500 travel voucher per person or be given $400 towards a new ticket per person and a $200 travel voucher. Their flight on Tuesday was full so they did say they could get us out on Thursday also. We had obligations at home so going that late was not an option. Bozeman (especially at the height of tourist season) is a very expensive place to fly in and out of. There was not a ticket cheaper than $721.80 per person to get back to Charlotte the next day.

    I talked to the gate agent and she informed me that if I purchased those tickets I could call and push for the remaining balance to be covered. I purchased the tickets ($1443.00), got an Uber and hotel room for the night ($190.00), and we left the next day. I will spare you the details of the disaster that was our trip home (all due to how the tickets were booked through Frontier's cancellation site) but it was ** show. I called today to get this all worked out and they are flat out refusing to refund us the rest of the money for the tickets. I was told that, "$800 is a generous amount and they don't even have to give that." I will never fly Frontier Airlines again and would urge caution for anyone else.

    Horrible, had a flight from Frontier located in Trenton/Mercer airport. The flight was to be 5:49 delayed to 8:17 then canceled, no reason. The woman at the desk could not give any information, just what you can do - wait another 3 days for a flight missing work or see their vouchers they offered. Not only did I have to contact my ride to come back to the airport to pick me and my 11-year-old son up. I had to find another fight another airline and pay over 500.00 for a one way to get home. Horrible, they do do not even refund your luggage check-in. Just horrible. I found a flight from Newark to Ohio then a 3 hour layover from there to Orlando and had to pay all upfront. Yes, I will get it back but then how long, they do not give luggage fees back. They really do a ** job.

    NEVER FLY THIS AIRLINE. ZERO STARS. This is my first and hopefully last experience with Frontier Airlines. My daughter and I booked a round-trip flight from Orlando to Milwaukee. We were to depart on July 23, 2018. Upon arrival at 7:15 AM, we found our 10:10 AM flight had been canceled due to weather. Apparently, due to severe weather, the DAY BEFORE, the aircraft and crew never made it to its assigned destination. Therefore, it was out of staging position and possibly crew duty day. Operations knew our outbound Orlando flight would be significantly delayed or canceled the evening before our Monday departure. The weather was fine in Orlando Monday, July 23. We (and most of the other passengers) received NO NOTIFICATION of cancellation.

    As a matter of fact, the Frontier website was showing the flight was on time at 9:10 AM. I drove 1 1/2 hours to the airport. Other passengers were vacationers who checked out of their rooms, with no rooms to return to. I stood in line for 15 minutes to get to the ticket counter, only to be told the agent wasn't handling my flight. There were no instructions for passengers on our flight were to queue in a particular line for assistance. I had to get into another line to get to the agents handling this particular flight, resulting in another 20-minute wait. We were told the flight canceled. They would give a refund if we wanted to book with another carrier.

    Good luck with booking another same-day flight, for triple the money. I was 'lucky' I checked in early enough to be booked on the next day flight. Others behind me could not get out until the second or third day. We all could just eat our expenses while we waited. Frontier made no attempt to send another later flight to pick up the passengers stranded. SOME WOULD WAIT THREE DAYS TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATION. I could not get to a reservation specialist by phone. I made three attempts that day (waits of 46 mins, 26 mins, 18 mins).

    I sit today Saturday, July 28, trying to reach a reservationist by phone regarding my return flight. My phone shows 48 minutes so far. This airline should be shut down. PS. Finally got an agent after 52 minute hold time. She states they have too few agents to handle their calls. When asked if they were located in the USA, I was told they operate out of the Philippines. I don't know what can be done about the terrible behavior. I urge all to speak out to your media outlets and elected officials to get Frontier Airlines Management's attention.

    I did not realize how bad Frontier Airlines was until I booked my second flight with them. Then I started reading BAD reviews about all the horrible experiences travelers were experiencing with Frontier. I was like, wow! I’ve to watch this airline very closely. Otherwise, I will miss my flight or have a gate changed without me not knowing & be stuck. - No email were sent out to inform me that my flight was canceled. I did not know my flight was canceled until I was checking into my flight 2 hrs early. I don’t understand how this airline can continue to operate with so much delays, negative reviews & cancellations. Delays last for hours. Canceled flights at the very last minute. No consideration for travelers time & money.

    $59 airplane ticket can end up costing you $500 due to all their fees once you book a flight. I will definitely make sure that I will not book with Frontier Airlines again. I don’t care how cheap their tickets are. Their cheap tickets are not worth the long delays, missed work & unexpected cancellations which are frequent & could possibly leave you penny-less & stranded. No WiFi onboard, no comfort, & food is expensive. Frontier do not rebook flights for you, even if they are at fault for cancellation. Their 90 day $200 voucher is not nearly enough to fly with them again. You honestly lose out of money dealing with Frontier. I had to pay Uber to get me to LAX & pay Uber to get me back home. Almost $90 when I could have saved that money if only I was informed that my flight was canceled early on.

    To be honest; I cannot rely on Frontier for my travel needs. This airline will leave you stranded and out of money. Because they do not rebook you on another airline. If Frontier cannot get you to your original destination, you have to come out of pocket & purchase new tickets to fly with another company just to be on time with your other flight. Which means you end up giving away money to an airline who is not reliable. I did not want to repurchase airplane tickets for another airline and wait for Frontier to reimburse me. NAW! I took the option to fly out with them two days later... Which will be my last & final time with this unreliable airline.

    How is this company allowed to continue operating when you cannot get the proper info out of them, each rep tells you something different on a delayed flight and they basically rob you when you try to get a credit for the missed flight. Our bags made the flight but we didn't so now I have to search for our luggage when I get to Orlando two days later? And their next flight would be 4 days later. Hence, cancelled tickets and had to buy tickets on another airline arriving at Sanford/Orlando which is 30 min away from MCO original airport arrival place. So when I finally get back to Florida, I get to spent my time getting to the airport where our bags went, etc. This is so unacceptable! No stars on their rating.

    Frontier Airlines has the worst customer service I have ever received from any business. They cancelled my flight with no explanation. Then the customer service counter at the airport tells me they will only refund me a portion of my round trip ticket that I bought four months ago. I was only able to find a ticket for tomorrow that was 555 with Southwest. I’m going to miss a day of work because of this. And all they are willing to do is a portion of my ticket is outrageous. Them canceling the flight is going to cost me 750 extra. On a round trip ticket that cost me 355. They give you a number to call that keep you on hold...no one ever answers.

    First time on Frontier Airlines and last. I booked a flight for my son to Vegas. When he arrived at the airport to come home yesterday, Frontier canceled due to mechanical issues. He was given two options, to either get the flight refunded and get a $300 voucher on Frontier or get another flight on his own and Frontier would reimburse us up to $400. We all know that there is no way to book a flight for the same day and pay $400 or less. I was able to get him on a Southwest flight the next day for $530. I called numerous times for help with this and the outsourced customer service couldn't do anything else for me.

    On top of the additional money for the flight, he had to go back to check in and get his bag where he had already paid $45. So not only the additional money for the next day flight on a different airline, he had to get a hotel, another Uber ride to hotel and back to airport next day and food. So this economical flight to Vegas is now costing us an additional $400, this is if we will indeed get reimbursed from Frontier as they promised for $400. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for and will never again fly with Frontier Airlines. Frontier should be ashamed of themselves, as consumers we have to expect more out of companies.

    Bought a ticket from Salt Lake City to Cedar Rapids (Iowa) for our college age son to come home for a couple of weeks before school starts. He got on the first plane okay (5 am) and arrived in Denver with a 2 hour layover. About 8 am he received a notification that his flight was going to be delayed 2 hours. Then, shortly after that it was cancelled completely. They handed out flyers telling them they could get a refund for the unused portion of their ticket or a reimbursement for another flight or car rental up to $400 (takes 30 days). Also gave a $200 voucher for another flight that will never get used. Cheapest ticket was $480 and didn't leave until 4:45 pm. We got lucky and bought it quickly when we realized they didn't do ** to help you get anywhere and it's a good thing we did because shortly thereafter only flights left were leaving really late and cost $800-1100.

    He had to sit in the airport until the next flight (on another airline) left and fly to Chicago where his connecting flight was also 2 hours late. Ended up, door to door, it took 24 hours. The trip only takes 18 hours to drive, 20 if you stop for sit-down food. Told my husband that I would rather drive out and pick him up than deal with an expensive and unreliable airline industry. We found out later that a plane to Florida had an engine problem so they confiscated the plane to Iowa to take the people to Florida. Only people who could possibly stand to work for them must be psychopaths who can't care about anything. Believe me, it's worth every penny to fly the next cheapest airline because it's like playing Russian roulette with these people.

Coming and going in my case. And by the way, over 2 bucks for a Coke. On the return, Our flight was cancelled, no explanation, One hour after standing in line, It was our turn at the counter just to be told we had to go to another line because our counter person couldn't change our flight. OK over to another line.

    Before going, I shouted to the people in the lines behind us that this line will send you to the other line if your flight was cancelled. A good third of the line moved. My group enjoyed another 45 min. wait to be told we had to buy seats on another airline and good luck. I asked why no one had announced to the crowd about the lines. Blank look. The gal in front of me was the manager. WOW. They claim they will reimburse. To be seen... Frontier needs to close shop. People who pay good money to travel certainly deserve better.

    God awful. My gf and I flew with them for the first time this summer because we wanted to save money. The round trip was from NC to CO and if I could go back in time I would have driven before booking with Frontier. The flight to CO was fine other than the filthy plane interior, the post apocalypse quality seats, and the rude flight attendants who charge you for EVERY snack and beverage. The flight home however, was at 8am. We caught an Uber an hour and a half to the airport, showed up an hour early as they say to do, and spend the next 12 hours moving from gate to gate and napping on the floor before they cancelled our flight and told us to go to hell. This was on a Sunday evening.

    They continued to jerk our chain every 30min telling us the plane was almost ready to take off we just needed to walk to a new gate on the other side of the airport. THIS WENT ON FOR HOURS. People were yelling and jeering. It had gotten so bad. Then we had to stand in a 2 hour line at their customer service only to talk to rude staff who literally could offer no help.

    Time to break down the financial cost. The original tickets round trip were $750. We were reimbursed $325 for the cancelled flight. The tickets we had to purchase last minute at the airport were $1100. The only other option was to wait until Tuesday. The $1100 tickets with Southwest didn't take us back to Greensboro where our car was parked, they took us to Raleigh. We had to Uber from Raleigh to Greensboro at 3am for $135. All this information was sent to them and they reimbursed us $400 for our $1100 tickets, $135 Uber, and laying on the disgusting airport floor all day.

    To break down the plane interior, the seats were so cheap and dirty they reminded me of the kids jewelry you can get out of the machines for a quarter. Thin one sided aluminum. They offered no pillows or blankets to help with the cancer seats. The foods and beverages were $2 minimum and the snack trays in the seats were so tiny and dented that I spilled my water on myself. There were crayon marks and boogers and unidentified biological smears on and around the seats and windows and ceiling. The floors were dirty and covered with trash.

    The turbulence was the worst I have experienced in my life. I do not have a fear of flying and I have flown 50+ times due to my parents' divorce and moving far from each other early in my life. I am 205lbs and I was being thrown into the air so violently at one point that my seat belt is the only reason my head did not slam into the ceiling. People were screaming terrified. It was straight out of a horror movie. Probably either due to untrained pilots or some cut corner in the engineering of the cheap plane that was deemed unnecessary by Frontier.

    If I could give no stars I would have - flying Frontier is not worth the aggravation. There are always delays with Frontier and they WILL NOT cancel the flight. I've sat at the airport (both in Trenton, NJ and Orlando, Fl airports) anywhere from 3 hours to 8 hours. They will not send you home or tell you how long the delays will be, you just sit and wait. But this was the last time I will ever fly with them.

    Got to the Orlando airport 2 hours early (4:15 am) to sit on a line that wrapped around the airport. They had 3 flights that were leaving around the same time one to Trenton, Philadelphia and another to Chicago. So they have one massive line for everyone to check in - Trenton leaving first. We sat on the line that felt was never moving, no-one ever came to tell us last call for the Trenton flight and we did not hear any announcement for the 6:15 am flight to Trenton (we were at least 50 people deep away from the counter).

    By the time we got to the counter 5:35 am, they told us we missed the our window to board the flight. They would not refund my tickets, or the seats and luggage (FYI you have to pay separately for). They just kept saying, "Sorry. No refunds." I told them, "We won't be on that flight. You can at least give us the refund for the seats/luggage we bought." They kept saying no refunds and then moved us to the next morning flight which I told them there was no point - we need to catch a flight with another airline to get back to NJ today, but they still moved us. I had to then pay Southwest to fly me to Newark out of my own pocket for over $1000.00. Pay $60 for a taxi then still drive to Trenton pay another $40 to get my car out of the parking lot.

    I fly to Florida at least twice a year and always used Frontier cause they seemed to be cheaper but I have since done the math - if you're a family with kids you want to sit together so you have to pay extra. Luggage per person to check in you pay extra, carry-on you actually pay more than checked luggage. When you add everything up they cost as much as a regular flight from Newark to Orlando. What you don't account for is the delays (maintenance, weather or random delays) minimum 3 hrs-8 hrs maximum. When you add that all up Frontier is not worth it. Save your money and your sanity. Fly out of Newark to Orlando. In the end if I would have flown any other airline I would have actually saved money than dealing with Frontier Airlines. The worst airline I have ever dealt with.

    I would first like to stress how unprofessional and poor the customer service is with this airline. Not only is the customer service poor and unprofessional so was the management of how our whole situation was handled. On 6/27/18 upon arrival to the airport our flight was posted as delayed. We continued to check our bags ($140) and wait an hour in our appropriate terminal. We then heard that the flight was cancelled and not even from an employee but from another angry customer on our same flight.

    After heading back to the Frontier Airlines desk we were told that we were not being reimbursed for our bags (that never left the front desk) and that not only was the flight cancelled but has been cancelled for THREE days now for illegal substances being found on the plane that was supposed to be coming to get us!!! Knowing that the flight was going to be cancelled they deliberately allowed us to spend more money by letting us check bags then arguing that they would not refund that money. We were then told by an employee that our one night stay in a hotel would be reimbursed as well (since we lived out of town) which we later were told to go through the airport and track down their employee that said it because that is not their policy.

    So after trying to find last minute flight which cost us $1300.00, we were then out for the hotel in Saint Louis, the hotel in Las Vegas, a day of a rental car, and a day of our vacation. The little paper that we were given with instructions on how to get our refund has an email we need to send receipts to but it doesnt even work. And the so called "refund" doesnt even come close to the amount of money we are out now!!! Not even sure how this airline is open after reading all these other reviews now!

    I planned to visit my boyfriend in Salt Lake City a month ahead of time and bought my ticket from Frontier Airlines, if I had known at the time all the trouble I would have to go through I would have went with another airline. The first problem I had was on the way out to Salt Lake City, it was a delay of 3 hours in the Denver airport. This was an inconvenience, however not the end of the world. The night before my flight back to Little Rock I received an email that said my flight was cancelled and it only gave me two options, to either get a refund on the unused part of my ticket plus travel miles with Frontier (obviously I don't want to fly with Frontier ever again) or to get a refund of up to $400 if I bought a ticket with another airline plus more travel miles with Frontier.

    The original round-trip ticket was only $375 and I would have only gotten half of that back. So in more simple terms I was being screwed out of money since their company policy is not to pay you back in full the cost of the new ticket. The night before my flight there is no way I could have found a ticket with another airline cheaper than $400. I ended up paying $600 for my one-way ticket back home since it was so last minute. I would think with any respectable airline there would have been another option (or a full refund for the new ticket in previous options would have sufficed), to offer another flight free of charge.

    Frontier Airlines clearly doesn't strive to serve customers to the customer's satisfaction. They left me stranded in a city hours from my home without even the option of giving me a full refund on the new ticket I had to buy because they cancelled my flight the night before. The money Frontier Airlines cost me was hard earned money supposed to go towards my college tuition or books. It is very disappointing that Frontier doesn't take care of its customers and works with them.

    I give this airline a 0. Worst airline experience of my life. Our flight was canceled. They said it was weather related (that is what staff is told to say), however both departure and destination weather was beautiful without a could in a sky. If you think you are going to save money with this airline THINK AGAIN. They were anything but helpful and offered a flight 2/3 days out (that is not even an option as we had to get home for work). In the end we had to purchase 4 last minute flights to get home via another airline costing us an additional $1800 for the trip. Frontier will only reimburse you for your unused tickets and say goodbye to the money you paid for your checked bags (they did not reimburse that). In the end if we flew with a reliable airline we would have paid MUCH LESS and had a much better experience.

    I am amazed that they can get away with this and there is no consumer protection against what they are doing by leaving customers stranded with no real options to get to their destination. As an apology they sent me an email for a $100 credit towards another fight!? REALLY?I? Frontier you have already cost me time and $1800 and will never get another booking from me - ever!. I am warning all not to fly this airline. Buyer beware - they cancel when their flight is not at a certain number of passengers and are NOT helpful in making things right. Another couple (same situation as us) had both their destination and returning flights CANCELED. Ultimately they spent over $1200 per person to fly from Tampa to Las Vegas round trip. If they originally booked through a more reliable airline cost would have been 1/3 of that. Spend a little bit more upfront and avoid unanticipated financial hardships later.

Also, Frontier could not get us to our destination for 2 full days. They only reimburse you a set amount, which we went over, and you have to front the cost.

Vouchers that can only be used on their airline & that will not get me to my destination THAT DAY!! I was told there was no other flight going where I needed to go for 2 days! So at the last minute we had to run to another ticket counter for another airline & pay $650 more to get to our destination!!! Needless to say we were not very happy!! Frontier Airlines you have horrible customer service, the seats are very uncomfortable (we were able to use our return flight back home on Frontier). NEVER AGAIN will I use this airline!!!

    Expect NO cash refund - even when you are under the 24 hour limit. Booking was made to Ontario, California ONT CA instead of Ontario, Canada. Stupid mistake, I'll admit. BUT, they charged 200.00 to cancel and the remaining money will NOT be refunded; rather credited to another flight (we know no one at any of their destinations). A vacation that we saved for over two years was ruined, and they have their money. Shame on you Frontier! How cruel can you be? I'll laugh at your demise from lack of customers.

    Booked through Expedia, first time using Frontier & the last! After waiting 4 hours for "repairs" to plane. We boarded (a filthy hot plane with rude flight attendants). The pilots entered the cockpit, then left shaking their heads, making the entire plane question the safety of the repairs. The flight attendant then asked all the passengers making the connection flight to Omaha from Austin to deplane & either offered a refund or to reschedule 4 days later! At the ticketing station the attendant actually came over to the line and started yelling and pointing her fingers at the passengers trying to get answers. They are the worst & should not be in business. Book with a reputable airline agency not with Frontier!

    My Family and Booked our flight early in March from CVG (Cincinnati) to SJC (San Jose, CA) for our California vacation. We received a message about 5am as we headed to the airport that the 8:22am departure from CVG was delayed til 10:07am, no biggie, we get to the airport, checked our suitcase and proceeded to wait in the terminal, we see the jet pull in to dock and other passengers from the incoming flight arriving, exiting the plane.

    The Frontier manager at the terminal desk says to please be patient for another 1/2 hour while they clean and prep the plane for our flight to San Jose... now it’s about 11:00 am (2 hrs:38 minutes late now)... then about 11:30 am, the monitors show the flight as cancelled, everyone (passengers) approach the terminal desk, the Frontier managers intercom another message that they have canceled the flight & the next available is a few days away. Many people in uproar and we had to scramble to Delta to get a last minute 2 leg flight for San Jose that cost us $1800 (family of 3). They gave us a paper that says we can be reimbursed up to $400 per person ($1200) total + $200 “vouchers” for each of us.

    This amount is obviously not enough to cover the cost of our newly booked Delta, not to mention the money we already paid Frontier for the original flight tickets + this cost us a whole day of our vacation, a hotel and rental car day of cost as well as we had to wait at CVG all day for the evening Delta flight, we arrived in San Jose finally with Delta and had no issues with them, they were great service and very helpful. Frontier said the reason they cancelled our flight was a staff member had “timed out” and they had none to fill in.

    Meanwhile at the same terminal, other Frontier flights to Denver, Albuquerque, Houston, etc were boarding without delay... we were left stranded, one lady was crying as she needed to get back to San Jose immediately to see a gravely ill family member. I think everyone in the terminal was thoroughly disgusted with Frontier, this is completely UNACCEPTABLE and not how to treat customers and run a business, people depend on their schedules to be upheld, (other than bad weather or mechanical failure, employee “timed out” is NO EXCUSE) we paid hard earned money and put much faith in Frontier and they simply stab you right in the back and then act like it’s no big deal and could care less about every customers life situation & don’t even intend to cover all cost of inconvenience they caused.

    I will not use Frontier again as well as spread the word to everyone I can to not use them. I intend to pursue legal action at least for all costs associated with this debacle created by Frontier that cost us time, money, stress, & aggravation, etc. I vote for a class action suit or some sort of legal action to reimburse all whom have suffered these terrible actions and treatment... not to mention, the hidden fees for seats, baggage, etc. makes them no cheaper than any other airline. Please comment and reach out if you have experienced similar, Let’s take legal action.

    I am a single mom with two girls. We flew to Denver from Atlanta to visit my brother and his wife. Our flight to Denver from Atlanta (FLIGHT 423) was delayed an hour and a few minutes. Not a big deal, however, on June 25, before our return flight to Atlanta at 12:05 am MST, I checked my email around 7 pm. Our flight from Denver to Atlanta (flight 1462) was canceled. I called Frontier on the number they provided me in the email. I waited and waited and waited. After 45 minutes, a customer representative answered. He offered a return trip to Atlanta but on June 28! He offered no accommodations, no car rental, or no access to meals. I told him there was no way I could stay that long in Denver with my girls without accommodations. I am a single mom and teacher and work hard for my money, but I don’t have money to just throw away for 3 more days in Denver.

    My brother and his wife were leaving the house they were sitting and driving to Canada the day we left. So we had to go. We had no place to stay. I asked to speak to his supervisor. After a few minutes, the supervisor answered. She listened to my story then offered Denver to Birmingham (Flight 528). I took it and three $100 travel vouchers. I took the flight because we had to get home to work. I couldn’t afford three more days in Colorado. I had to spend an extra night in Longmont, pay for three meals for three people, extend my car rental and cancel work for the next day because who knew what time we would get into Birmingham? After my flight to Atlanta was canceled I thought so could the flight to Birmingham. We were delayed out of Denver and arrived in Birmingham a little over an hour late. I had to pay for someone to pick me up in Birmingham, drive me to Atlanta airport, pick up my car then drive two hours home.

    Frontier offered me NO COMPENSATION for ANY CHARGES I incurred. I called the customer service representatives to discuss a refund for the flight from Denver to Birmingham and they flat out refused. They told me since we took the seats to Birmingham, they owed us nothing! I paid for three tickets to get me from Atlanta to Denver and then Denver to Atlanta, not BIRMINGHAM. I had no choice. I was going to be stuck paying for accommodations in Denver for three more days or I could take a flight to get close to Atlanta and hope I could get home. When you pay for a service, you should get that service, not half of it. Frontier did not hold up their end of the bargain so I feel they should refund the money for those tickets. I have no problem paying for services when they are delivered correctly. But I do have a problem paying for services and not getting what I paid for.

    Make no mistake, Frontier is a budget airline with highly competitive pricing. As such, no reasonable consumer should expect the same level of comfort from Frontier that they would from a more expensive airline. However, consumers should still be able to expect timeliness, kindness to customers, and clear communication. Frontier delivers on none of these fronts.

    My flight from Bismarck, ND to Denver was delayed by 3 hours, and I consequently (just barely) missed my connecting flight to Salt Lake City. There was absolutely zero communication from Frontier staff as to why the flight was delayed. At this point I was not upset. Delays are an inevitable part of travel, and delays for weather or equipment safety are completely understandable. However, what followed was the worst customer service experience of my entire life.

    I waited in line for over an hour at the Frontier customer service desk. I was traveling for a continuing education course, and it was not worth it for me to arrive late. Thus, I simply wanted to return home. The woman at the desk absolutely refused to engage me in conversation. I asked reasonable questions about how to book a flight home, but she would only look at me and ask "Do you want a refund?" I asked if this refund would cancel my flights home or if there were any hotel accommodations available. Again, she looked at me and simply asked "Do you want a refund?" It was like talking to a robot. I accepted the refund, and she slid me a pink card with a number to call to arrange for a hotel.

    At this point it is after midnight, I am in an airport of a city I am unfamiliar with, and I have no hotel and no plan on how to get home. I call the number on the pink card to arrange for a hotel, explain my situation, and ask if anything is available. Without skipping a beat, the person on the phone said "There are no rooms available. Is there anything else I can help you with?" "I guess not" I sighed. I ended up just booking a hotel on my phone at my own expense.

    I eventually (using the Frontier website on my phone) arrange for a return flight. This flight was also delayed by 2 hours with no communication from Frontier staff as to why. I have since received a "refund" for my experience, which ended up being $80 from a $350 ticket. Frontier must make use of some creative math. I have all but given up hoping for any sort of compensation for my other incurred expenses such as my hotel.

    I understand the negative reviews. I was stranded overnight in Denver because Frontier waited four hours to announce they were cancelling the flight -- when they knew well in advance the flight would be cancelled. The problem lies with federally dictated crew rest periods. When a flight arrives too late in the evening, the crew cannot fly again for a specified number of hours, and this delays the flights the next day, creating a domino effect. It is a cycle that will never end until Frontier hires stand-by crews to fill in at key origination airports. Frontier has a good business model and potential to do well, but they need to bite the bullet and hire standby personnel or they will lose so many customers, they will fail.

They took my money, delayed me for 3 days, messed with my trip plan, make me lose $540 on taxis and hotels, and now they email me a discount voucher on my next trip. I will not use Frontier ever in my life, what kinda sick joke is to tell me there is a flight and send me to another city and then be rude about it.

    My advice, if an employee tells you something get it on video so you sue them **. I had a $1000 on me for my trip and now I spend most of it because of the airline, now I am going to my vacation with $260 for a whole week. I hate Frontier airline and I will do everything I can to let all my family and friend know what happen with me. They totally messed up my vacation and after all that gives me attitude and tell me they don't have time for me at the customer service desk.

    This is the 1st and last time I will ever consider Frontier. I had a trip planned to Vegas for my b-day, waited at the airport over 3 delays only for them to cancel the flight at 8:00 pm (we were supposed to board at 8:15). When I called customer service while waiting behind at least 200 people at the gate. I was offered no options to fly to Vegas for 2 More days (as we were told was the earliest flight available) despite my asking for ANY airport in a 5 hour drive radius so that I didn’t lose all the other money on shows, hotel, etc. They offered zero support through other airlines and literally repeatedly read from a script.

    I asked for a supervisor. Restated the same phrase over again. It is completely unacceptable to make someone wait for 2 days to get to their destination and offer nothing but a refund (or the next available flight 2 days later - the day of our return!!!) - which doesn’t help because every other airlines quadrupled their prices to get a ticket the following day. Not at all a comparable consideration. I have never experienced such unacceptable treatment from any other airline I’ve ever used.

    Ultimately, after much discussion and begging, we were given flights at an airport 7.5 hours of a drive away so drove overnight, booked another hotel, to again try to leave tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately, my Vegas hotel and show will not be refunded the night of due to No notice and we will also have to book an additional hotel room in Vegas as well. I have lost over $500 by trying to fly with this airline. I would think at minimum they could utilize other airlines to assist you to get to the destination sooner than 2 days! I’m so disappointed and disheartened by this experience.

    I was to booked and confirmed and waiting for my delayed flight from PHL to HOU Saturday night, June 23rd. A call was made for volunteers with flexible travel dates to reschedule their flight because the plane was overbooked. A nice voucher was issued, but has ridiculous requirements - use in 90 days, only once, not transferable. I did volunteer and was booked for the next available flight 3 days later, plus having a flight with 2 connections - lasting approximately 17 hours, rather than the direct nonstop. That flight is supposed to be tomorrow. My checked suitcase was already on the plane for flight #1015 and I was told it could not be retrieved. By this time my place was already given up. I figured it would just arrive in Houston early and that it could be delivered to the place I was to be staying.

    Sunday morning I called customer service. Was on hold for 45 minutes or more, finally spoke to one person who got me in touch with Michael who was able see that my bag was indeed in Houston. He put a note to the baggage office in Houston saying that there were perishables in the suitcase and that it NEEDED to be delivered. Both my phone number and my daughter's number were included, as well as the address to which the bag should be delivered. I was told there would be handlers in the office in about an hour and to expect to hear from them. We heard NOTHING all day. My daughter called the Houston baggage office almost every hour, never getting an answer. Sunday night I called customer service again. Finally got Madisson who couldn't see where the bag was anymore. She put in another message and said we should hear. I have not heard a thing.

    I spent almost an hour on hold waiting for customer service to answer this afternoon. Finally called the customer relations number that Madisson had given me. I spoke with a nice young man, but the answers I received are completely unsatisfactory. The suitcase is in the Houston baggage office which is only open when a flight is arriving. It has been labeled "voluntarily separated" which means that I personally have to pick it up. I am in NJ still. The blueberries are likely spoiled by now and I certainly hope not ruining the clothes and shoes and other items in the suitcase. It will not be delivered to my daughter's home. No one is answering the phone in the office, so how do we know a 1 hour drive to the office for her will actually yield being able to get the bag. And if it has to be me - I'm in NJ. I asked to speak to a supervisor, but none was available. I asked to be called back by a supervisor and am waiting.

Ultimately, we had no answers. The agents on the phone did not know why it was cancelled, could not refund the money, would not give us a hotel, told us to go back to the non-existing agent at the airport, and offered us a trip 3 days out.

    I honestly don't understand how Frontier is still in business. My girlfriend and I took a little weekend trip to Fort Myers. Saturday night around 6 pm we get a notification from Frontier that our flight for 9 am the next morning has been canceled. When I called to find out what was going on, I had to first wait on hold for over 45 minutes. Then I was told the flight was canceled, no explanation why and that all they could do is book me on a flight leaving Tuesday... Yes Tuesday, 3 days later.

    Finally they said I could book another flight and submit a request and they would review and possibly refund my up to $400 of my other ticket. So now I had to try to book a flight for the next day and the cheapest available was $550 - So at a minimum I'm out $300 for two tickets, if Frontier actually reimburses me at all. On top of the monetary frustration, this experience and having to deal with it at 6 pm on Saturday night completely ruined the evening and trip (it took roughly 4 hours from the start of process until we were finally able to book another light, due mostly to being on hold with Frontier multiple times). Ironically, the only reason we took this trip was because Frontier gave us a credit for another trip they canceled on us previously. Bottom line is Frontier is a terrible airline and I personally will never fly with them again.

    A number of years ago, I began taking direct, round-trip flights from Phoenix to Portland. On one of those trips, a stewardess announced, like they always had, that if one were to sign up for their credit card, one would receive "40,000 miles worth two round-trip tickets if used within the continental US." I decided to sign up for the card. The following summer, I flew round trip from Phoenix to Portland again and used 1/2 of my mileage. All was well. This summer, however was different. There were no one-way flights available from Phoenix to Portland anymore - all flights to Portland were routed through Denver first. So, I was quite surprised when I purchased a round trip ticket to Portland and was charged $250+ for the return flight.

    I didn't understand how that could happen and attempted to contact Frontier. I wasn't able to reach them expeditiously, so I took the flight to Portland via Denver. It was when I was on the flight and heard the stewardess make the same sales pitch over acquiring the credit card that it began to sink in for me. Please recall the quote regarding two round-trip flights... What they failed to tell me, and everyone else, about their credit card deal was that any stopover along the way to the final destination was charged 10,000 miles. So, my trip to Portland via Denver cost me 20,000 user miles and that's how I ended up stuck with a payment on the return flight.

    Since returning to AZ, I've spoken with frontier on numerous occasions claiming their policy was false advertising and that I wanted a refund of my ticket price or my 10,000 back (BTW, I had a six hour layover in Denver on the way to Portland and three more on the way back). To me, this is a case of patent false advertising when they mention nothing about their policy for stop overs on the way to a final destination. Sure, it may have been buried in the fine print of a document they had me sign while on the flight, but they are evading the truth. The stewardesses are only telling half-truths. I'm sure they turned me down for any kind of return based on it setting a precedent that all of their deceived customers might discover. I hope that's precisely what happens through the BBB.

    On flights from Orlando to Denver June 7th with stops in New Mexico and June 11th St Louis it was apparent that we were trapped when purchasing tickets. Makes seats a luxury, so you were charged for sitting during the flight. Taking underwear was unnecessary, so luggage was another fee for carrying it yourself or checking the bag. Although nothing was served on a 4-hour flight, we were discouraged from getting off the plane at our stop to 'make up travel time'. The new cattle was ushered onto the plane only to be told thru announcement to all that there was a delay for possible 4-hour repair. Why not let us off to use facilities and get a drink, leave the new passengers at the gate where they could be more comfortable, fix the problem and then load us onto the plane for take off when you had the all clear. This was not YOUR plan. After the fact and a blessing for us, maintenance was able to repair the AC issue within 45 minutes!

    PTL Why was there no consideration and better customer service planning for a moment like this. REPAIRS are not new to your fleet. BY charging these upfront charges for poor service is no way to bring on new AIR BUS vehicles, request Credit Card applications, and basically charge for water. A tea bag was $2.99! REALLY??? From a business standpoint I cannot see you growing or thriving with POOR WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING AND FEW REPEAT CUSTOMERS. Consider the product you are selling and advertising and depending on to pay salaries and to do upkeep on everything. The staff and pilots were cordial with what they had to work with, no complaints there but overall the booking, flying, lack of customer concern, and penny pinching was a sad joke. Tomorrow is another day to learn and grow through past mistakes or at least find a better way to service. Think about it in your next board meeting or training session!

    Within a two week period I delivered a baby early in DC and my father suffered a massive heart attack, stroke and cranial hemorrhage in CO. He has been hospitalized and he is in a very precarious situation. I made the decision to fly and be at his side (leaving my 5 day old infant at home). To supplement help for my husband we flew two of his family members to support him. I made the HUGE MISTAKE of relying on Frontier Airlines. Not only was every leg of each flight delayed (5+ hours) due to "mechanical errors". Subsequently our family missed the birth of our child not to mention the agent made a mistake in rebooking my ticket and basically said "there is nothing I can do".

    I complained and received a call from their customer relations team (someone in the US - I am assuming) and was told they would try and make it right. I had previously laughed at their offer to provide me with a meal voucher and/or refund my luggage fees. I thought that after all the delays, stress, 3+ hours being on hold with their reps and the pilot having to drop the landing equipment during flight at least 5 times to "cool the plane" that they would actually do something right. I WAS WRONG! I just received a certificate of a $100 voucher with Frontier which I will NEVER USE!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THEIR LOW AIRFARES - IT ISN'T WORTH IT!

    Flight 1274 from PHX to ORD to TTN June 10, 2018. No one was there for luggage check-in at PHX for our 12:30 red eye - leaving passengers standing on a long line w/o knowing what to do or anywhere to sit. There was a sign saying our flight was delayed 2 hours. No one showed up to check-in until around 11pm after passengers started calling customer service to complain. No passengers at any of these airports were alerted online or via flight tracker that our 12:30 am flight from PHX was 2 hr delayed until check-in at the airport. At 2:20 am the delay moved to 8 am. Nothing online was updated. In fact, around 4 am our flight from PHX was shown in flight tracker as "en route to ORD". It seems no one at ORD was told either - until check-in at the airport.

    The reason for the delay we were given was that the crew has "timed out", needed a break, and they could not get a replacement crew until 8 am. Something that clearly could have been anticipated and communicated to passengers well ahead of their arrival at the airport. After 3 hours of waiting at the gate, we were all offered a $25 food voucher good only at PHX airport - where there was one small food market open with beyond expensive prices. When printed, the food voucher was for $10. The Frontier reps at the gate told us they unable to contact any supervisors. They were thrown under the bus with an angry red eye flight mob to face all night. They were scared and had to call security.

    Frontier reps were not empowered to rebook us on other carriers. We were offered to apply for our money back or wait for this flight. But we were warned it was possible our luggage could not be returned to us from the plane, as there was no one available to legally retrieve it. No free beverages or food were offered on in flight. Only water and expensive items for purchase. Vouchers were not even being accepted. Once en route we all received about 10 copies of the same email offering us a $10 food voucher good only at the PHX terminal. We were also given a Frontier voucher for 50% of our ticket cost, which we could use to fly Frontier Air, but must be booked within 90 days. Not really much compensation, as now we are afraid to trust Frontier to give us a good travel.

    We were "pass-thru customers" on this flight from PHX-ORD-TTN. Keep in mind we stayed on the same place the whole trip. Though it appears our luggage was on the plane between PHX and ORD, it did not show up in TTN. It's been 2 days now - we are being told they have been unable to find it. It seems the other 4 pass-thru customers got their bags on time at TTN, though not yet clear how many of those folks just had carry-on luggage. The only thing Frontier managed not to mess up was that neither plane crashed - in retrospect that seems a miracle, as the organizational & leadership incompetence at every turn was massive this trip.

    I fail to comprehend why Frontier is making such a PR noise about its rapid expansion, when clearly it cannot even handle existing operations competently. All-in-all, Frontier Air has securely earned its spot on "Pat's List" as the worst airline experience of the past decade. Too bad - I used to use Frontier Air a lot from TTN, and recommended it to others. But it seems they have lost control of their operations and customer focus under this new venture capitalist owner, exec "leadership team" and board.

    Forget about the customer always being right. Frontier believes the customer is a waste-product of an IT and business plan strategy. They act as if customers are harming their business plans. Their motto should be “Shut up and deal with our treatment of you.” Multiple situations of poor customer service including unreasonably long check-in lines, cancelled flights at the last minute with no compensation, super high change fees, refusal to allow check in within 45 minutes even though the late check in was caused by unreasonably long check in lines, and most recently a 3 1/2 hour delay (due to weather) that was not announced until after the flight was scheduled to leave despite the fact the ground crew knew about it at least 1 1/2 hours in advance (they told people checking baggage but not anyone else).

    This unnecessary stranded 300 people in a expensive airport terminal for three hours. Call to complain? Frontier: “Nothing is ever our fault please shut up.” Advice to my fellow travelers: Don’t fly this airline. PS - On runway and pilot just announced the delay was not a weather delay after all. It was a crew rest delay caused by lack of management planning. Also refueling crew can’t be found so there will be an additional delay. Advice to people that lie: Coordinate your stories better.

    I don't even know where to begin with this review because there are just so many things wrong with this company. Mind you I am writing this review a week later after my experience with them that shows you how badly it affected me. Constant flight delays and excuses, lies from customer service and airline employees. Every flight that I flew on was delayed taking off hours late. I had multiples layovers so that added up to a day each way for departing flight and returning flight times. My return flight which was delayed to begin with broke down, me and other Passengers was stuck on a hot plane with no A/C for an hour before they let us off. When they let us return to the hot plane which was after an hour it broke down again and we had to exit the plane once again.

    After two hours of waiting and excuses they told us if we wanted a full refund or to rebook that we could but they would not cancel the flight for some apparent reason. They probably didn't want to give everyone hotel vouchers. When I went to get information on my connecting flight and if I could possibly still make it the employee told me that the plane will be taking off in 30 minutes that I will make it. After an hour realizing I won't make it I was told that I could get a refund for my returning flight not the price of my return ticket and that the next rebooking time is five days later wtf! I had to be at work the next day. Last minute tickets for another airline for me was 800 dollars. When I told the employee that won't work for me what else can she do she told me my return flight has been refunded and that I can no longer board the flight if it does leave. I asked her why did she do that. I want to speak with a manager in which she walked away from me!

    Not only did they not give my luggage back I was somehow kicked off the plane and had to buy a last minute flight home. My luggage was returned to me three days later! Still no word or reason why my flight was never canceled, why couldn't have our luggage back after waiting seven hours for a plane that hasn't left, no refund, why was the employees so rude to us and lying to us.

    Our first flight from COS to SAT went ok after consistently being asked to upgrade and pay for more. Flight attendants were kind and really no issues. The return flight was terrible. After a ridiculously long wait to check bags, the person checking them threw the bags as hard as she could onto the belt (I really wish I had film of that). Then we check to see status of flight. Frontier had the only delays (every one of their flights) of every airline at the airport that day from 2:00 till 8:00. This caused those flying to Las Vegas to be delayed until the following night at 10:30 PM! Not one person knew why any of these flights were delayed, even though several asked. We were all treated like we were rude for asking.

    After waiting for several hours we decided we had to now purchased dinner ($48) at the airport. 15 min after doing so, they then give out some dinner vouchers. So having bought our own, we were out of luck, they would not credit any of that back to us. The attendants on board were kind to your face, but rude over intercom. They rudely told several people (who were already up using the bathroom) to sit down immediately as seat belt signs lit up, as if they should have known it would happen several times during the flight. "Savings" are just not worth it!

This not only wasted our entire day which could have been spent enjoying and seeing Atlanta we then had to wait another 2 hours just to get our baggage back. We also ended up having to buy overpriced airport food throughout the entire day. They threw us all to the wolves having to purchase last minute flights with other airlines which costs well over $800 for a couple. Frontier said they will compensate up to $400 per person for reimbursement tickets (We'll see). We are now sitting in ATL the next day waiting and wasting yet another vacation day waiting for our flight with Southwest. They deserve one star but they did give us $10 vouchers for food (which didn't suffice for 11 hours in the airport) and they did cover the cost for a 2 star hotel nearby which also did not offer breakfast. So ya we received 2 star service so Frontier gets a 2 star rating.

    Two times in the last week Frontier Airlines had had emergency landing because of unknown chemical odors on the plane. I was on the first of these one week ago. Pilot announced emergency landing while gasping for breath in his oxygen mask. After landing in Albuquerque we were kept up all night in the airport in a line waiting to get rebooked to San Diego. Although medical people checked out Frontier staff on the plane not one mention was made for passengers to get checked out. I have been feeling sick all week and yesterday felt I might have some type of pneumonia.

    I looked online to see if Frontier had released info about what the gas was we breathed in during the hours we were on the flight. Instead I saw another article explaining another emergency landing on Frontier happened yesterday- same route- San Diego-Tulsa- same problem. Fumes on plane. This time they emergency landed in Phoenix. Frontier said everyone was offered a medical exam yesterday (no one mentioned that option on my flight) and one 62 year old man was admitted to the hospital.

    I am very healthy- never get sick and have been feeling horrible for a week. Will Frontier have to explain what is going on? On the plane before the emergency landing a male flight attendant was lying on the floor by the bathroom. The entire experience was bizarre and I am wondering if others are sick. I contacted Frontier and they responded by saying we were all getting 200.00 vouchers to use on their flights.

The stewardess on our departure flight had horrible attitudes, one who thought she was made of gold and pretty much acted above all the entire time! She had no problem displaying it nor speaking it. Paying to sit up front is just beneficial if you want to be one of the first to get off, but the seats are horrible and again, unless bringing a carry on, you'll still be waiting forever for your check in.

    My family and I are first time flyers with Frontier and it will be the last time for us. We arrived at 9:00 am for a 9:40 am flight and this is how we usually do it for a Southwest flight and never had any problems. But for Frontier we were not aware of the strict 45 min. Policy for check in and we missed check in by 5 minutes. The lady at check-in was not only rude but she was not helpful at all. Pretty much with an attitude of you're on your own.

    We ended up purchasing new tickets with Southwest for that same day which costed us another $1,200. It was either that or stay in Indiana for another 3 days for the next flight out to Austin which was NOT going to happen. So we were not only out $1,200 but also our 3 hr direct flight turned into a 9 hr connecting flight and all of this with a tired and sleepy 2 yr old. So my point is stick with Southwest and do not go with a cheaper airline because you end up spending a whole lot more money and time. Frontier Airlines is the worst.

    Frontier Airlines is absolutely awful, pure corporate greed. Please read about my experience and save yourself from the torture of dealing with them. I made the mistake of flying with this airline twice - and literally both times missed my flight because of an error on their part and was not refunded or compensated. 1) First Frontier disaster (6 months ago): I got to the airport about an hr early as planned and waited for 20 min in a long time to check my bag. By the time I reached the ticket counter I was told that because I wasn’t checked in 45 min early they wouldn’t let me board - even though my plane was not even there yet and I had plenty of time to get to the gate.

    Apparently I although I had checked in online beforehand there was a system glitch and it didn’t go through. So I was not allowed on my flight, had to buy a new ticket with another airline, and after being sent around in circles for an hr on the automated system of their customer service number, I still could not talk to an actual human to request my money back.

    2) The second time I tried to fly with Frontier I was running late because of mechanical issues on the public transportation I took to the airport. Still, I wasn’t worried because I had plenty of time to get to the gate before my flight was scheduled to leave. I arrived at the gate 10 min before final boarding (and 25 min before the scheduled departure) to find that they had already closed the door. By the time a Frontier representative came out, the plane was already pulling away. He told me he was the manager and that it was his error: “The computer told me the flight was fully boarded and the pilots wanted to leave early, so we did.”

    He apologized sincerely and admitted it was his fault, but all he could do was point me to the customer service 800 number and give me a $15 food voucher (oh great - I can buy 2 airport bottled waters!!!) and a $50 voucher for next time (“next time” HAHA - you’d have to pay me whole lot more than that to ever set foot on a Frontier plane again). By this time I was in tears because my 4 hr direct flight had turned into a 9 hr red-eye, getting me in half a work day late. When I further complained about this to the manager, he empathized and told me that airline companies are “vicious” and that some families lose their whole trips to Disney World when Frontier flights get cancelled and they won’t refund passengers for the loss of the vacation package. When a manager tells that to make you feel better, you know there is a problem.

    Seriously, travellers, don’t make the same mistake I made twice. Frontier may seem cheap - but factor in what you’ll pay for choosing a seat, carrying on luggage, or even ordering an ** soda on the plane... not to mention the money, sleep and tears you’ll expend if you end up like me - and it is NOT WORTH IT. Tell all your loved ones, avoid Frontier Airlines like the plague.

    I want to share my experience with Frontier Airlines. I started my journey April 10th 2018 and left from ABQ NM AT 7:41 PM. We had a long layover in Denver CO. We got on the plane April 11th 2018 at 7:55 am and landed in Cleveland OH at 3:45. Ok so once we got off in Ohio they lost one of my bags and no one would take ownership and had no answers for me. The bag they lost had my kids' clothes in it so I went two days with no clothes for my kids. I had to buy them new clothes. For the 2 days I spent 49$ on clothes for them and I lost my receipt and sent my debit card statement showing proof I bought clothes and they still didn’t not give me back the money that I spent that I did not have for their mistake of dropping the ball losing my bag!

    So, let me continue. I boarded the plane from Cleveland OH on Thursday April 19th, 2018 and landed in Denver CO for a layover but 2 hours before we were going to get on the plane back home to ABQ NM Frontier canceled our flight and told us to go to customer care. Once I got down to customer care it was 2 or 3 lines. Every single customer care rep was beyond rude to everyone yelling at the customers. So I was there stranded in Denver CO with 2 kids. Only thing they offered was to cancel and refund or reschedule for another day which was the 22nd of April 2018. A lot of the people was rich or well off they had options. I didn’t. All I'm a single mom. I live pay check to pay check. All I had was 60$ on my card and that was it! That was no money to get a room for 2 ½ days or food!

    So, I had to stay at the airport. Me and my 2 kids slept on the floor by baggage claim. It was super cold and not comfy at all. I also called their 1800 number to see if they could help me and even the people was rude to me on the phone. I asked for a manager. No help at all. Basically told me I was out of luck and I asked the manager how would he feel if I was his wife and kids. How would he feel. The manager hung up on me. This was the worst customer service experience I ever had and if it was nothing they could do at all they could at least showed me some empathy. Show that you care. So I was so mad I couldn’t even think. My kids were so tired and hungry. I reached out to my mother and she got us a hotel for 2 days. We left airport on the morning of the 20th 8am. I didn’t leave Denver to Sunday April the 22nd and the whole ordeal caused me to lose my job!!! And still no one cared. I will never use Frontier Airlines again!

I could not check in on the way to the airport due to constant barrage of Bundles and Add-ons and Frequent Flyer Miles credit card signups that you have to go through. When it went to the FFM credit card I had no option to continue, only previous screen or exit. Well if you click exit it brings you back to the beginning so you are caught in a loop and cannot check in. We thought, well we can check in when we get there. Wrong. We arrived at our flight literally 41 minutes before (the cut off is 45); there was no one at the kiosk. We called customer service (in India btw) and were right outside security with now 30 minutes from take off.

    They would not assist, they would not alter the flight, they wouldn't even refund, nothing. They said it was $99 per change (had to change depart and return), per person x 2, no baggage fees to be refunded AND it was $25 fee to modify over the phone (you can't online). After all was said and done, the fees were more than the actually more than the original cost ($282). I spoke with Delta and they said that is the way Frontier is. I missed the flight because of it, and then no refund, and can't get the rental car refunded (Hertz) due to all of THEIR cancellation fees, plus the prepaid parking near the airport. I am now out of almost $550 total in a matter of 4 minutes. I can't even cancel the RETURN flight on Frontier for some semblance of a credit and that isn't even for 4 more days!

    My advice is to not include Frontier Airlines in any future travel plans. They can cancel not just flights, but entire routes, and leave you stranded with a few useless travel vouchers and a refund. I had booked a direct one-way flight from PVD-AUS for Aug 08th for a family of five with travel insurance from Travel Guard/AIG. I got a great deal or so I thought ($49 per ticket with Discount Den +$12 per ticket for insurance), the schedule was great, leaving 08:27 pm - arrive AUS 08/08 after 11 pm. We are due to arrive earlier on 08/08 to PVD from a transatlantic flight, so this was the final leg or our journey home. Purchased the Frontier flights on 04/13. Frontier offered me an 'alternative route' on 04/26 via email notification of flight change, The new flight would depart PVD on 08/08 at 11.30 am and get into Austin a full 24 hours later on 08/09 at 10:55am, with a complimentary night stay on a Denver Airport bench for two adults and 3 kids. Naturally this was not a viable option.

    I escalated to Frontier CS mgmt (their regular CS staff seem completely un-empowered to make any decision). Frontier do not work with other airlines to re-route passengers when they completely cancel routes. I finally got a refund and some useless vouchers (and it seems reading some other reviews of Frontier I was lucky to get even that). Additionally the Travel Guard/AIG "insurance" I "purchased online" at same time as I purchased the tickets, was completely invalid. Frontier never purchased the Premium from the insurance agent, even though to me the passenger, it looked as if I had insurance covered. Is this even legal to do this? My guess is they don't purchase the insurance until they are sure they won't cancel the route, so passengers can't claim with Travel Guard/AIG for a disrupted flight.

    I discovered this when I tried to claim for disruption with AIG and reviewed the Frontier invoice. The invoice lists the Travel Guard/AIG insurance on the invoice as a line item so it appears to the buyer that you are covered, but Frontier do not go on to purchase the insurance from the provider. How can they get away with this? In the end I have to book with another airline departing PVD on the 9th, hundreds more dollars for five tickets, and also book two hotel rooms for the night of the 8th in PVD, took additional days off works. I couldn't believe airlines can do this with no recourse for the passenger. So my advice is, if you are planning a trip - you are better off to plan with the more reliable and dependable airlines, and buy travel insurance from an independent provider.

I have a membership with them so get major discounts with flying including free baggage. Flight out was on Delta. They were wonderful, easy to fly with, very comfortable and the stewardesses were the nicest people and the customer service department were the nicest people I've ever talk to. On the flight home I had Frontier Airlines. I paid for pre-TSA check in with Delta. I got my pre-boarding information to check in early. Did not get that same email with Frontier Airlines so had to get to the airport and check in at the front desk. When I got to the front desk I was told I had to pay $60 for my personal carry-on.

    I had three carry-ons the motor so they wanted to charge me almost $200 for my carry-on. I refused to pay and told him that I booked through Expedia and that they did not see anywhere where I was going to have to pay for a carry-on. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they called the supervisor. The supervisor was at the gate doing check-in and they stated I had to go all the way to the gate to talk to the supervisor so instead I decided to call the customer service department at American Airlines.

    I spoke to a young lady by the name of Sam who informed me that for my Expedia reservation I did not have to pay for my personal carry-on as long as it met the required dimension which was 18 x 14 x 8 so when we went and measured our bags at American Airlines called that one of our basement the required dimensions so we would not of been charged. Sarah on the customer service line did state that turn my reservations we should not be charged as long as I can put my bag under the overhead and that they were under the seat.

    This was the worst experience I ever had with Frontier Airlines. The people were nasty, the gal at the check-in gate was rude and the supervisor was even ruder. They have no customer service and skill. No wonder the flight was not blocked and that there were empty seat. Do not ever take a Frontier Airlines. Everything they charging for when no other airline charges on you for the same things.

    I joined Discount Den on 03-07-18 and booked a flight which occurred on 03-19-18 from RSW to PVD round trip. NOW Frontier does not have flights from RSW to PVD and I basically wasted $49. I requested a refund and since I used it once saving $10 they state no refund is allowed. I WOULD not have bought Discount Den in March 2018 if I knew the service from RSW to PVD would be discontinued in April 2018. I would like a refund of $49.

    I purchased a round trip ticket back in December. A week ago I realized there had been a price change. So I canceled my ticket. My purchase was then made a "credit" that I can use later. So, I booked the new cheaper flight and was given a refund for the difference since I purchased the works package with my ticket. Things changed and I had to cancel my flight. I requested a refund since again I purchased the works package. Today I received an email stating they denied my refund since it was purchased with a "flight credit". what a ** rip off. Basically their "guaranteed refundable" option is complete BS.

    The flight itself was an uncomfortable experience, the seats were not cushioned enough for customers to be seated for X amount of hours. Once we landed the plane had stopped and lights for the seat belts were turned off. I'm pregnant and I had to use the restroom, as I approached the back of the airplane to use the restroom, the male flight attendant told me that I need to get out of his way. Ignoring his lack of customer service I proceeded into the restroom. Other flight attendants, mainly female seemed snobby and rude, their lack of ingenuity was apparent and wasn't fooling anyone. I was highly disappointed and expected more from Frontier.

Then he got to San Antonio, delayed for 11 hours. Call them to at least put him in a hotel, they say no. I spoke with someone Called Chen... a supervisor. She said they don't do that. How is it possible that a major airline in America do this to its citizens. By the way when you call customer service it takes 20 minutes for someone to answer you.

    A simple flight from CA to Austin and from Austin to CA. Both trips were horrible! I booked a flight which was only a few hours wait and ended up a long overnight delay and I did get 150 voucher for that delay flight. I used that for my trip back to CA. I got a message that it was delayed and that bumped my layover which means I will miss by 2nd flight. What is the point of having a $150 voucher? I decided to get a hotel and reserve the next morning flight. All of the sudden, the flight was cancelled.

    I called Frontier to find another flight and there was none available. I was going to book a ticket with a different airline. I needed to get home so I went ahead and reserved a hotel in Austin. I just got another message saying the cancellation flight was delayed till 1 am!!! I booked 2 hotels at the same night! Really?! I lost it and felt disgusted. Who does that? I do understand flight can be a hassle but this was the worst experience ever! Thankfully I got my refund for both hotels. Now sitting at the airport for the next few hours to Denver and layover for another 5 hours. Sometimes cheap isn't worth it. Quality is better! Stay away from Frontier.

    The customer service is beyond rude. I traveled with small children and there was a chance they would be separated from me on the plane. When I said to the supposed red-head supervisor at the counter in Denver that this is crazy, she replied "maybe you're crazy". It never happened to me in my life that any customer service representative would be able to say it and not be fired right after, but she seemed to be so rude to everyone. She also told me "You paid for the tickets not for the seats and the flight is oversold by 7 so you can be on stand by and not get any tickets if you won't shut up. How about that?"

    So, needless to say I did shut up and the lady next to her, who was on a personal phone call with line of 20 people behind me, gave me seats, separate from my children. Thankfully, the lady at the gate asked a passenger that was supposed to sit next to my children to change and it was a nice lady and she agreed. However, we had a flight that was stopping in Georgia and we did not know if we will have to get off the plane or stay on the same plane to go to New York. Luckily, the flight attendant was very nice with me, probably a mother and also made sure I sat with my children. Not to mention I had to pay 2x $45 for small bags that I easily carried on with AA and Delta. I would have never taken these airlines, but there was no alternative given by Travelocity.

    Booked a flight one week before departure, received confirmation code and itinerary day off with Payment Pending. Partially my fault because I assumed it would go through as I had sufficient funds in account as well as all correct information. No additional emails from Frontier, I check in on the way to the airport, shows all my info plus conditions for flight (no additional bags, no seat selected). When I go to print boarding pass at kiosk, confirmation code is 'not found'. I ask the special help desk and they inform me, for the first time, that my payment was declined and that I do not have a reservation like I thought. I ask the nice woman, Dominique at DIA, why they would not have informed me and got "I am not sure, I've seen this before though."

    I asked if I could buy one of the available seats at the price quoted to me (a week ago) and she informed me that it would be DOUBLE the price and an additional 60 on top of that. I asked for the manager who was much less friendly and not helpful or even attempting to give off the impression of being helpful. She informed me I could buy the 500 dollar ticket or ** off (not her words but I got the gist of it) with no option as I asked for some sort of voucher or price match to what I originally booked, anything that could help me get to a job interview. There were empty seats on the plane still.

    I called the corporate offices to inquire why they would not give so much as a courtesy email to let a customer know there was issues with payment and was met with "I do not know but I apologize for the inconvenience." I asked for some sort of voucher or something to make this experience less ** but all she could offer me was an apology.

    I flew Frontier for the first time last month: Denver-New Orleans. Interesting experience. They came up as cheapest airline fare on Kayak. However, after high fees for carry-on luggage, seat assignment and seat assignment processing fees (booked through CheapOair), they were no longer the cheapest fare. Their entire structure of fees is complicated, designed for someone who flies with them frequently so as to avoid the highest fees by paying for services at the right times. Frontier has the right to charge what they want but I feel that they misrepresent themselves with their emphasis on low air fares when that is not the case. I feel deceived and won't be flying with them again.

    On April 3rd, 2018 I was on the Frontier flight 1883, Airbus A320, arriving to AZ at 10 pm. I was assigned a window seat near two elderly people which can be inconvenient because I usually get up to use the bathroom during a flight. I asked the couple to give me a minute to ask if I can switch seats because I don't want to inconvenience them later if I need to get up. I went to ask the flight attendant but before I could even speak she took a horrible tone with me and asked me to pay if I want to move seats. She was very hostile, I felt threatened. I tried to explain to her that I do not mind my seat but I don't want to bother the elderly couple and if it is possible to move me to another seat. She again said that I have to pay if I want to move and her tone was very demeaning and disrespectful.

    She then came by the old couple and moved them to a better seat. She specifically said out loud in front of all the passengers, "I will help you with what you want but her (while pointing at me) I will not help her". I am not sure how you train your staff but this is the first time in my life I experience such unprofessional and disrespectful customer service. Once the elderly couple was moved she brought another person to come sit next to me. She then went around asking and moving other people around, giving them more space and glaring at me as if to throw it in my face that she is assisting other passengers. I am not sure what I did wrong but even if I am wrong I think it is inappropriate for her to try to embarrass me in front of other passengers and offer them something she blatantly denied me.

    When I told another staff he didn't even apologize, he just said I can file my complaints online. When I came online I found that you have a score of 1.3 out of 5. I will be sure to write reviews on other traveler sites too so that this airline invests in training their staff proper customer service. Hopefully, in the future no one flying through Frontier will have a terrible experience like I did.

    I would implore that anyone looking for a cheap flight should look elsewhere. Avoid at any cost! Horrible company! I went into this flight knowing it is bare bones: no free refreshments, uncomfortable seats, etc. And that's fine, you get what you pay for. My advice to pay the slight premium for a reputable airline, comes from their terrible customer service once problems do arise. My checked luggage was returned to me with the zipper mutilated (now it will not unzip) and the fabric ripped. Understandable, things happen in transportation and the expectation is that they will take responsibility for it and rectify the situation.

    Instead I have had a three week back and forth argument with customer service telling me that Frontier is not liable for normal wear and tear to baggage and I should have read the Contract of Carriage before flying with them, and me asking how my bag being mangled is normal wear and tear. If you request to be put in contact with a supervisor, they will ignore your request and continue to tell you that this is their resolution and they hope you will fly with them again. I even paid for the insurance and came to find out that it only covers lost luggage, not damage to luggage. So whatever problem arises (and there will be problems), Frontier will do everything in their power to avoid responsibility.

    I'm quite upset. Two friends and I booked a trip to Cancun 3/9/2018 at 4:30 PM, all very excited to go. The next 24 hours gave us quite a shock when we see that there has been a US Travel warning issued for Quintana Roo, the State of Cancun. Out of concern for our safety we called Expedia, which is where we booked our bundled package and asked to cancel. They were able to cancel everything at no charge EXCEPT the Frontier Airlines flights. I was told to call the airline to handle that part.

    I called Frontier and was told that they could not issue a full refund and if I cancelled that I would be charged a $99 fee per passenger. The woman explained that if I had called just 5 hours earlier there wouldn't have been a problem or fee; ludicrous! I am not one to complain about anything ever, but after United flights and hotel were easily refunded and with a very valid concern I expected some empathy and understanding from Frontier Airlines about the situation, but instead I got nothing. I will NEVER select them as an airline and will be sure to warn others about this anytime I can.

    We went to Orlando for 6 days. I always check the beds before we settle in and everything was clean. Friday evening we get to the airport to go home and of course there’s about a 30min wait to drop your already checked bag. Customer service is seriously lacking but I feel that’s pretty common at every airport. We have 2 small children so I’m always stressed they’re going to act up on the airplane. I try to make sure my oldest is very well behaved. You know, not putting your feet on the chair in front of you, don’t drop your tray down, quiet voice and everything else that is pretty much common sense. Well we get settled in our chairs and Everyone seems pretty nice around us. My oldest is exhausted and falls asleep instantly. My 1 year old takes a little more work.

    The guy behind us orders a beer and 2 of the shot bottles. He basically chugged them down and this is when the fun begins. He is extremely loud, singing and talking to himself (waking my baby every time), smacking down the tray tables, laying his hand all the way over the top of my daughter seat and he even grabs my hair while using my chair to help his drunk self get up. Flight attendants came by a few times to tell him to be quiet but really it just seemed like they didn’t want to deal with him which I totally understand. We finally make it Phoenix and were praised by everyone around us for making it through the horrific events. Thankfully no one actually had to sit by him, he had the row to himself. We were so happy to be off that plane and to get home.

    We bring all our bags inside, lay the backpacks up on the island and that’s when my fiancé noticed a bug crawling off my backpack!!! He smashed it and 100 percent it’s a bed bug!!! It was late so we throw everything out in our yard. I call customer service first thing in the morning and the man seriously said “what would you like us to do?” I told him I think they should notify everyone on the flight but I was told this would be sent over to complaints and to have a good day. My fiancé and I notice later we have bites on our legs. And I know some may think well you can’t be 100 percent certain it came from the plane and you’re right we are not but that’s my guess. Luckily I went through all our stuff and haven't found anything else. We won’t be flying for a long time and the next time we do it won’t be with Frontier.

    After encountering delays that ruined our itinerary, the "customer service" interaction was unpleasant and disrespectful. I understand that logistical problems develop which are out of control of the airlines. When those things happen it's necessary for airlines to treat their passengers with care, sympathy and respect to help them get to their destinations and most importantly to demonstrate ownership of the support matter and communicate effectively. Frontier "customer service" offered nothing of the sort. Dismissive and cold, no effort to either help or to extend sympathy. Just crap.

    Frontier delayed the flight every 1/2 hour until they finally canceled it entirely. My boyfriend spent 80$ on airline food before they even started offering vouchers. They put him in a hotel overnight but stated he had to be back at the airport just a few hours later giving him barely any chance to sleep. He arrived at the airport before 5:00 am like they requested only for the flight to be delayed yet again. This was all due to a mechanical issue they stated SHOULD have been resolved back in DENVER but instead they flew with a faulty part into Oklahoma.

    Staying in Denver would have meant the part would have been readily available, the staff necessary would have been available, and other flights would have been available. Instead, they flew into Oklahoma and delayed to the point that he missed my entire graduation which was the reason for flying into Orlando. The flight actually could have still left at a reasonable time if the staff wouldn’t have “timed out.” They are claiming it was a mechanical issue and they canceled because of a safety concern but the reality is it’s because the staff went home. As a response to this they did issue a 200 Frontier gift card and stated we would get a refund on the flight.

    Then when we called into customer service and he was hung up on not once but twice and I was on hold for 40 minutes. We finally spoke to someone who said because the flight was "delayed" and not canceled (which it clearly was) they could not alter the flight leaving Orlando which we requested due to him having less than a day in the state before he was to leave again due to all of the issues. We were told it would be a 200$ charge to change the flight which I asked if we could use the voucher we were given for the inconvenience. We were told we could not as that was only usable on new flights as if we would ever book with Frontier again. We then were able to speak with a supervisor who stated we could change the flight free of charge due to the nightmare we had already experienced. We were told we would get a confirmation email which we never received.

    Since Frontier has not had their crap together thus far, this made me nervous. Sure enough, when he goes to check in for his flight, there is a several hundred dollar charge for a "new flight". The supervisor never comped the flight. We then had to speak with a customer service representative who kept insisting he could do nothing and that we had to call customer service.

    Since the flight left in 2 hours and we didnt have the 40 minutes previously displayed as their hold time to waste, I spoke with him until he printed the boarding pass free of charge as we were previously promised. Showing that they do have the ability to uphold the promises. They just refuse to until you become an issue. Now, I have been emailing with customer service for DAYS about a refund that they are refusing to provide. They did however offer a $50 credit towards a future flight which obviously is completely the same as him making my graduation and not missing a once in a lifetime event.

The flight attendants were great, as were the gate people, but that can't make up for the cheapness of the management of this airline. The only way I'll fly here again is in a box and by then a seat or drink won't matter.

    Extremely frequent delays, it's not unusual to be delayed both ways or multiple times. Their seats are cramped and they have no in-flight movies, room to sleep, no charging station and no plane wifi. The food isn't free, and it's way overpriced, so you aren't saving as much as you think. The only good thing is their flight attendants are polite though. They let a guy stand around in front of the bathrooms the whole flight, so you decide if that is good or bad. There are also tons of examples online of them doing things like breaking things marked fragile and kicking people off flights without refunds or even dragging people out. Airlines have all been declining in general but Frontier takes it to a new low. Even their logo and commercials are drab and forgettable, as if to say, "We are so bad because we're the cheapest." Only flight Frontier if you absolutely cannot afford anything else.

    Book a round trip flight for 5 adults from Long Island Islip airport to Orlando MCO on Feb, 2 2018. Cost was insane, $2800.00 for all of us. Called airline to book instead of online. They charge a $10.00 fee to book over the phone and a $10.00 per seat fee for assigned seats, completely ridiculous. So we book the flight make the rest of our travel arrangements and reservations. A week after I make the reservations they send me an email canceling my flight. I was not happy.

    I called the 800 number on the email waited on hold for 1 1/2 hrs. Finally I speak to someone who speaks broken English and told me the flight was cancelled and there is nothing they will do except refund me my money. There were no other flights available on the days I needed. Also, all other airlines were pretty much booked because of the holiday week. So it looks like I am going to have to cancel my vacation due to this horribly run airline. I will most likely lose all my deposits on hotels I have booked along with my park tickets I prepaid. I will never use them or recommend them to anyone, EVER!!!!

    I've never flown Frontier or any discount airline before, and decided to give it the benefit of the doubt when I bought roundtrip nonstop tickets from Philadelphia to New Orleans, knowing that there was a $45 fee for carry-on, and that any frills typically complimentary on regular airlines would cost extra. I was completely aware of that, HOWEVER, the MORNING of my flight at 12:30 AM, I received an email subject line "Travel Alert!!!" stating that my flight was canceled. For no reason. Upon calling customer service, they told me that it was weather related; however, like a human being with an ounce of a brain. I checked New Orleans' airport conditions and there was no advisory whatsoever and 100% operational.

    Clearly, they canceled the flight because it was underbooked and it would not be profitable to fly. Frontier is a group of lying cost minimizers to cheap people out on a daily basis, and for paying customers. This is unacceptable. Additionally, their scam of an insurance provider was absolutely ZERO help, a waste of $10.95. Never buy travel insurance from Frontier if you're ever unfortunate enough to have to fly with these scumbags. My first and last time spending money on this "airline". Leaves a horrible taste in my mouth and gives a bad name to Denver.

    I wanted to go to Tennessee to see my son but I didn't want to drive so I went online to find some cheap tickets. Frontier was one of the sites I checked. It was a 49$ flight. I thought that's not bad but when you go to check out then you have to pay for your seat which was from 5-20 dollars then you would have to pay for luggage. I had a small carry on so didn't have to pay for what could fit under the seat still in all it was cheap. When I got there it turned out I had a priority pass. It sent me to the front of the line. The plane was on time. I had a window seat. The staff was really friendly. The flight was short and comfortable and it beats driving eleven hours. I think I might be flying more often.

    Have a problem with Frontier? Good luck with their customer service. I spoke with two reps —both of whom spoke broken English and were not in the least bit sympathetic or helpful after the Frontier website glitched and I was booked on the wrong flight. They wouldn’t even credit the money I paid for an assigned seat or checked baggage.

    I have been flying for over 55 years as a passenger on almost every airline company with many no longer doing business. I reviewed the reviews here on and found I have experienced the same complaints with every airline I've flown with no exception for Frontier. What I do like about Frontier is my savings. Yes I have to pay for bags and my seat if that's what my budget affords as flying is a privilege not a right or entitlement. Yes I've been frustrated when I miss my sisters wedding when they canceled my flight 1/1/18.

    They refunded me and sent me an email to tell me they were sorry. I'm okay with that after I got over myself for being angry due to their choice as a company. I will continue to fly Frontier as their staff in general is polite... Some have entitlement issues that I can overlook and not stare too hard. This past year I flew with only 1 canceled flight and 1 flight delayed for an hour. Not bad for 10 flights with Frontier. I will continue use their services as my favorite airlines.

    My husband and I were flying out of LAX to DEN last week. We paid for 2 checked bags prior to the flights so that was already taken care of. I forgot Frontier is the ONLY airline that charges for carry-on's, but I knew it was coming so I wasn't complaining about it. I had 1 carry on. My husband was carrying my purse for me (which was considered a personal item, it's no bigger than his hand). The agent at the check-in desk told me it was $45 for my 1 carry on. I agreed and sign the receipt from my CREDIT CARD. Giving them permission to charge $45.

    3 days later (today), I am back home and checked my credit card statement. Frontier charged $90 to my account. I called their customer service and after fighting with the stupid automated system, I finally spoke with a representative. I explained that I only had 1 carry on and needed to be refunded. They proceeded to tell me that the other $45 charge was for my husband's carry on.

    I argued stating he physically didn't have a bag, literally nothing in his hands other than my purse. After speaking with 2 managers they refused to refund me and stated it was non-refundable and they could only give me an airline credit (which expires in 90 days). They charged me for a nonexistent bag... I stated that I had a receipt showing my signature for a $45 charge, not $90. Even after telling them I would never fly with them again and this airline credit is pointless, they told me "thanks for calling Frontier" and that was that. I will never EVER fly Frontier again. Not even worth one star.

    It's just not worth flying with this airline. On the way out here they lost both of our bags. There was no person in the airport to assist us and we finally found a number on the wall to call. During this time the last remaining Frontier employee who was picking up unclaimed bags (read: lots of luggage they previously lost) who told me to just "hang up because it's useless to call". She was rude and seemed annoyed to have to deal with my missing bags. I had to come back to the airport at midnight to get the bags from the next flight in order to not miss out on the 2 days I had to visit my relatives in Wisconsin. The saving grace was that the person I talked to on the phone was at least pleasant to deal with.

    I had to get to the airport early as family I was traveling with left earlier. I wanted to check my bag and go through security to relax and read with some coffee. I wasn't allowed to do this because it was "more than 2 hours" before my flight. The rude woman at the counter after dragging her feet chit chatting with someone told me to go to a kiosk that then wouldn't work. I got back to the counter and she put a checked bag tag on my bag telling me to just take it through security and check it at the gate. At the gate I was then informed I couldn't do this or I would have to pay an additional fee. They finally acquiesced after I pointed out that it was one of their employees that told me to do this in the first place. Incompetence!

    On the return trip the weather in MSP was bad which is not their fault but they had really really poor planning which caused several hours delay. The plane was late arriving to start with. We boarded the plane and got the deicing process underway which was delayed and took about an hour. While we were deicing the gate crew WENT HOME as we were the last Frontier flight of the day. We started to taxi down to take off when the pilots noticed that they used too much fuel deicing! I would expect them to have seen that fuel issue coming in advance before we taxied out and planned accordingly. So we then needed to taxi back to the gate to refuel and then deice again. But the gate crew had gone home!

    At this point we were then stuck on the tarmac in an "active taxi-way" (read: sitting still) so we were forbidden to get to the bathroom. They gave us a granola bar though. They said they were bringing around water and never did. At some point our "active taxiway" (read: still sitting in the same spot not moving) went away and we were miraculously allowed to get up. We waited for the gate crew to come back FROM HOME and then got back to the gate.

    We refueled. We were about to go deice again when the person on the Frontier ground crew dropped his goggles on the top of the plane wing. A passenger noticed and then we were delayed waiting for someone to come back and get the goggles. That eventually happened and now we are about to re-deice again and hopefully leave soon. Sitting on the plane still... But someone finally brought some water around. Some people wanted to be rebooked and let off the airplane... The flight attendant came on and said "some of you wanted to be rebooked... and the answer is no". Still on the ground in MSP hours past when I was supposed to land in Denver.

    We got on the plane and as soon as we did it was delayed because they were waiting on maintenance to come and make sure that the water is running. Why wasn't this taken care of beforehand?

This is ridiculous. I have never experienced this with any airline before. We had to get off of the plane and it was delayed for another hour. I am beyond disappointing with this pathetic airline.

    Our flight was delayed by over 8 hours. We didn't leave the airport until after 12 a.m on a 4 p.m. flight. Every 30 minutes to an hour, we received a notification that our flight was delayed by an hour or so. I wish I'd known how long it would really be. We never would have made the trip to the airport and waited around, wondering when our flight would really leave. When we did finally leave, I found that I did not have handicapped seating, as I was supposed to have. I was forced to pay for the upgrade (I was in so much pain by then), and thankfully, those seats were open. If they were open, why did they make me pay for the upgrade! We did get our money back on that. Thankfully, our hotel gave us extra time so we didn't have to be out by 10. Our plane had a malfunction and had to land on an earlier flight.

    I understand that, but what I don't understand is why, after that difficult experience, we were each issued a $150 voucher towards a future flight that expired in three months. We received an email apologizing for our flight experience and telling us of the vouchers. At the bottom of the email, below a set of double lines, were the instructions on redeeming the vouchers. As we were not ready to redeem them yet, my husband didn't read the rest of the email, assuming it was simply instructions for when we were ready to redeem our vouchers towards "a future flight." I wish they'd made it clear from the beginning that those vouchers expired within 90 days. We would have had to at least booked within those 90 days, which meant knowing when and where we would go. Well, we are not frequent flyers. I'd taken two other trips by plane.

    We did end up needing to take another flight sooner than anticipated because we decided to relocate for our health, as I had done so much better in Florida, and even my husband had slept better. We started to redeem our vouchers and saw the expiration date way down at the bottom of the email. I called to talk to someone because I was flabbergasted. Of course I got someone in a foreign country! She wouldn't budge. I asked to speak to her supervisor. At first, I thought she'd gotten back on the phone to tell me the supervisor would be on in a moment, but no, it was the supervisor... with the exact same voice as the customer service agent. Call me a skeptic, but I think it was just the agent pretending to be a supervisor, because she regurgitated the exact same memorized script as the agent. I told her that, if the vouchers were not reissued, we would not fly Frontier every again.

    That didn't concern them. So, we booked United. Frontier, you bombed. Big time. You truly need to reconsider your 3-month voucher expiration date, though truly, I get it. I mean, how many people can redeem their vouchers within three months? How many would set their emails aside once they saw the instructions and thought, "Oh, I'm not ready to do that yet, so I'll just set that aside until I'm ready." Bravo, putting the expiration date clear at the bottom, underneath two double lines, as that information is usually incidental and not CRITICAL! Bravo. You've assured yourself that a very small percentage of your vouchers will be redeemed. Very ingenious on your part, I must say. So, because you are sneaky, dishonest, incompetent, and corporately greedy (strange for an economy airline), you have lost our business.

    I flew from New Orleans to San Francisco between 02-03 Jan 18. I landed in SFO and I had some business to take care of, so I was working on my computer while everyone else was getting their bags. I got up and saw my suitcase on the carousel. It was the very last bag. I had checked a Christmas present I received, a down comforter, but it was not on the carousel. I went to get on the bus ride back to Monterey, a good 2.5 hour drive and started receiving repeated phone calls from the baggage counter saying I had forgotten my bag. I answered the phone and told her I was on the shuttle and couldn't turn it around to come back and that I live in Monterey can they please deliver it or mail it. She said no, that they were going to send it to Denver. I said, "Please don't do that."

    I asked to speak to a manager who now told me she (Erica) was going to send it to New Orleans. I said, "Please don't do that." I told her I live and work in Monterey and couldn't drive to SFO right then because I was getting sent for business for six weeks when I returned. I know no one in New Orleans or Denver. I begged her to let me pay to send it to me. She refused and said, "Too bad." She gave me the number to file a lost bag claim, which I did and the woman was very apologetic and understood it was ridiculous to send my bag to cities I don't live in. She tried to call the office in SFO and couldn't get through. She told me she didn't have power to make them do anything, even though this was the "escalation" department.

    I asked who I could escalate it to further and she didn't know. She gave me the number to the office and I've been calling non stop. No one is answering. I am not making a 5-6 hour drive if I don't even know anyone is there. To make matters more fun, I'm going out of the country for 6 weeks starting Saturday, so this needs to get resolved immediately. I don't care how it gets resolved, but I just want my bag back and someone to tell me how that can happen. Sending my bag across the country is not a better option than sending it 2 hours away. I could not get anyone to tell me what was going to happen to my bag if I couldn't come get it in the 3 days they gave me to do so. I couldn't get anyone to agree to send it to me, even if I paid.

    Update: After over 10 hours on the phone and probably 500 phone calls, I got through. The woman said I would have to pay to FedEx it. At this point, I'm furious. I would have been fine if that was the agreement we had come to the first day, before I went round and round and Erica told me she was going to send my bag across the country to never be seen again. The way this company treated me was completely unacceptable and it has nothing to do with the bags. On one of my 100s of phone calls to the baggage claim, I called SFO directly and was told by the woman that she receives 100s of these kinds of calls a day and that my best option is to not give Frontier my business.

    The Frontier Airlines acted irresponsibility by withholding information and denying basic needs to customers on the 3 hour delayed Frontier flight #1924 AUS to IAD. Original departure time was 5:35 pm Central Time. However, on the day of the flight it was delayed to 6:17 pm. Upon arriving to the airport the flight was delayed again until 6:47 and again to 7:11. At 6:55 the flight began boarding. When asked the crew said they did not know why the flight was being delayed and added that many flights are delayed today. This information is irrelevant and definitely not customer friendly. At 7:11 the captain made an announcement stating that the plane was going to be undergoing the de-icing process. Stating that the process was going to take 10 minutes. At 7:30 the plane taxied, crew began the safety speech, and everyone was asked to put all their phones on airplane mode. Without finishing and not saying why, the crew stopped the process.

    At 7:45 the crew once again began the safety protocol. At 8:10 we were still sitting on the ground. Elderly man, a pregnant woman, and another adult tried but were denied usage of the bathroom. This is an hour after boarding. At 8:30 we taxied again sitting. Finally at 8:45 we took off. This is a three hour delay. No reason posted or provided. No food or beverage offered for free except water. Unacceptable treatment of customers with horrific communication. I strongly encourage a refund be issued to customers for this flight for inhumane treatment. No food and denying people to use the bathroom is unacceptable. Beyond dissatisfied with the airline. Will not be considering this company again.

    Other info: The price of the ticket was over $300. Carry on bag was extra $40. I understand the pricing strategy for the airline, but that is excessive. At 8:00 pm the company issued a $25 dollar voucher but did not let anyone know (as there is no internet on the plane). Perhaps we could have used it to eat, but again communication is broken down. $25 hardly covers any of the trouble. $25 will not be 'enticing' enough to fly with them again. Unreliable and doesn't care about customers. Needs proper resolution by starting with an explanation.

My 13 yrs old supposedly took a picture in the plane that bothered the flight attendant. I searched my son phone and I didn't see any picture anyways... the pilots approached me and told me, “If your son like to take a picture we are more happy to let him sits in our seats once the flight is over and take a picture for him.” The other pilot offered me to sit in his seat to experience the feeling which I thanked him and refused to sit, so we can leave and make it home... Shaked hands as they were very kind to us. Went back to our seats. Waited over 20 min to find out, two personnel asked all of us to leave the plane as the flight crew are not willing to take off, over my son picture they felt unsafe!!! I told them I searched his phone, there is no picture. I was like, "Are you guys serious going to humiliate us over this ignorant reason..."

    They said we must leave or they can make us leave by calling the cops if we refused to leave... after we left they tried to schedule us for the fourth of Jan which I refused because we are not from Orlando and it's 7 days away. Finally they booked us a flight with Southwest going to Chicago then to Memphis... Instead of being home at 3:30 pm we didn't make it home till 1am the next day... my wife is a Muslim and wearing a scarf… The only reason I was kicked off the plane with my family was the racial profiling. That picture was just a stupid excuse to humiliate us all... people take pictures and videos in the plane all the time. Never heard they got kicked out. Even those who video the doctor who got kicked off a United Airline, they didn't kicked out for recording the incident.
