I can literally write a book with all the reasons not to do any business with this company but I am exhausted of being all day on the phone and getting nowhere with them. Not even worth to elaborate on all the bad practices this company does and it's still in business. Complete Disaster.

This is the first time I flew with Frontier Airlines and it has been the worst experience ever! I booked the flight to Disney through Priceline as a package and thought it was good cause it’s a nonstop flight, there was a 4 hour delay leaving to Orlando and we checked in our hotel at 3am, upon our return the flight got cancelled and was in line for 2 hours trying to figure out what to do next, was informed by the customer service that the next flight would be 2 days later which ruined my next day appointments. They did not even provide us with accommodations or nothing for their cancelled flight so I had to book a one way flight through Delta for the next day and pay another night of hotel. This airline ruin our whole trip, I would not recommend anyone to fly on this airline ever. On top of all this, the price seems cheap but they make you pay for your seats and carry-ons upon checking in so technically it’s not cheaper than the major airlines. They are a rip off!

I had a one-way ticket to Florida. After Frontier messing up the departure time of our flight, causing many of us to miss the flight my flight was rescheduled for the next day. Later that evening they canceled my flight leaving me to only find a ticket for the next day for $1100 for ONE WAY ticket because of their poor communication and issues. They offered a $500 voucher/reimbursement for using another airline but refuse to reimburse for the ticket they failed me on. So really, they gave me a couple hundred dollars toward what ended up costing me over $1500 because of them being a terrible airline.
To top it off, they wouldn't refund my prepaid baggage and seating fees. It is not worth the "cheap" price of the ticket. I promise you. Go with another airline. This airline is cheap, disrespectful, and will actually cost you so much more, including your peace. Oh, and they gave me a $50 voucher I have to use within a month....absolutely terrible customer service. Never ever again.

I booked a round-trip ticket through Spirit with a choice of a return flight through Frontier. At the airport, the flight was cancelled. Spirit gave me a refund as the next available flight was 3 days away…The same day as my return flight. I cancelled Frontier and put in a formal request for a refund since my trip would be useless. I would fly into my destination and have 3 hours before I had to fly back. They did not refund me or give me credit for future flights. All 3 hotels I booked did not charge me after talking to them about the situation. During this time, with flights are being cancelled a lot, do NOT go with Frontier! They would rather have a few dollars in their pockets now, even if it means losing future business.

I'm just going to lay out the facts. Too angry to put an emotion in. Arrived over 24hrs late to the destination. In that time I had 2 camcelled flights and 4 delayed flights. Very rude staff at St Thomas. Did not provide accomodation when the flight was cancelled, so was forced to stay in st thomas airport for over 24hrs and overnight. They did not send our bags with us and they proceeded to take over a week to send my bag out to me. So I was in a country in which I didn't live or know anyone, with none of my belongings or clothes, so had to buy some clothes to keep me going. Despite this they refuse to provide any compensation or reimbursement.

I requested to change the flight on the same day to a lower fare flight, but Frontier customer service insisted that I would have to pay $79 change fee. I asked the customer service why they would not do the customer a favor while costing their company nothing. They simply said they could not do anything.

Our flight was cancelled on 3/21/22 and now the flights were all booked going back to Trenton, NJ from West Palm Beach, Fla. even the next day. They said they were cover our expenses so we booked a flight on United Airlines to Newark. Our car was in Trenton so we rented a car to get back there. They are not covering our rental car at all! As for flying into PBI don't fly them. They cram everyone on the plane, the seats don't recline and it's a hodgepodge of unsightly characters that fly this airline. This is the worst excuse for an airline I have ever seen. Completely unprofessional!!!! I wish I would have read the reviews before booking a flight.

I am so disappointed about this Micky mouse airline, I always travel with American Airlines so here we go. I got my ticket and saw I don't have a checked bag for return, I purchased a bag and they charged me for 3 bags 145$, called them up and asked for partial payment and refund to my CC, Due to having Crappy website they refuse to refund due to a their crappy policy of Gouging people, is not refundable. So I had to call my CC company and dispute the charge, I asked to cancel the whole flight. From 259$ flight now I am flying with 403$. What Thief they are, never ever fly with them. AGAIN.

I travel the world but this is by far the worst experience I had flying with Frontier airlines. Our flight was delayed for 3 hours. The turbulence was so scary. No it was not raining nor was the weather horrible. My son fly with this airlines before and said, "Mom this is nothing new." He experienced the same. My car rental company was closed and I had to sit at the airport 5 hours with my 4 kids waiting for Budget to open. I was unable to accomplish what I fly to FL to accomplish because of the hours of inconvenience so I called Frontier not asking for a refund but asking for a day later to fly home. I was told it will cost $1200 and if I fly in the morning it would cost $650. How do you inconvenience an entire family and have no empathy to rebook a day later for them with no questions asked??? Please do not waste for $$ with this airlines. It’s beyond horrible. Choose JetBlue…

Do not Fly Frontier Ever! Father flew Sacramento to DFW but unfortunately mid flight he received a call that the meeting he was supposed to have was cancelled. Even with travel insurance and being told that he could get a refund for his return trip (couldn't get on Frontier that same day to return home) and to call with 24 hours to have a refund. Upon calling well within the 24 hours was then informed that they would charge him a $79.00 cancellation fee but refund $83 and some change in credit towards his next flight. They would not be paying/refunding any part of the baggage fee that was paid for for his return trip. This on top of being on hold for over 2.5 hours and being transferred from one person to the next being hung up on twice and only after I demanded to speak with a supervisor was anything said/done to get to where we were told they could do nothing to refund his paid for return ticket. What a Rip Off!!!

I was recently harassed by a male flight attendant who identifies himself as only "Jack". Jack took it upon himself to demand that my 2 yr old turn the sound off her tablet completely because "other people are trying to sleep". Question is when was the last time have you seen a 2 yr old using a earphone? The harassment didn't stop there. He kept insisting that my 22lbs 2yr old sit in the seat by herself even though the seatbelt doesn't secure her because she's too small.
At the end of the flight on my way off the aircraft I stopped upfront to complain to the flight attendants by the door. He then came up invading my personal space as if to push me and my child off the plane. He said "get off the plane you are harassing at this point, I'm going to call the police". I'm sure If I was ** man he wouldn't have handled the situation that way. Even some of the other passengers were voicing their disgust at his behavior. I'm never going to fly this airline again. The flight crew seems like ** supremacists.

This airline is irresponsible, undependable, and lacking in customer service. They canceled the flight due to overbooking because they couldn’t get enough passengers to give up their seats in exchange for credit voucher. Then at 7:30pm after 3.5 hour delay, they canceled the flight and sent everyone home without rebooking on another flight. They told us to check our emails for a voucher and to book our own flights. The credit they emailed was $400 voucher for any flight. However all flights next day were priced at $800+!! No compensation for hotel stays but they generously gave a $15 meal voucher.

Trying to get from Washington, DC, to Phoenix via Denver today on Frontier Airlines was nothing short of a disaster. Starting in an over-crowded terminal, our first flight was delayed 3 hours (from 1 pm to 4 pm) because of a mechanical glitch. Before we departed, our second leg was canceled for no announced reason, leaving us scrambling to reschedule on a 10 pm flight out of Denver. Then the first flight abruptly started boarding at 3:15, but then we still sat on the tarmac until 4:30. By this time we were starving, but all they had to eat was a candy package or a small cheese tray, both overpriced. No free pretzels or even water! Hours later, finally in Denver, we boarded for our 10 pm leg, but were immediately told to deplane & that the flight needed “some new parts, which were being flown in.” Departure time: 1am. Throughout this ordeal, Frontier just acted like this was business as usual. No explanations. We will NEVER fly this airline again!!!!

Frontier does not deserve 3.4 star. The service is terrible and the delays both ways on my trip was ridiculous - more than 6 hrs and no communication as to why the delay. I emailed the company for compensation and through all that I was told they sent me an email of delay at 1:44 am. I told them it should have been eastern time not western time!

Frontier Discount Den is very poor in customer service in correcting their mistakes. My membership account was cancelled, but they kept on deducting fees from my credit card. Even after I had requested to be removed from the automatic charges, I still get charged each year. Each year I have to call them and they assured me that it is removed from auto charges, when I ask for receipts or confirmations that it has been removed and cancelled, they said they can't do that. Poor business ethics and poor systems. So each year I have to make time to call them or call my credit card company about these recurred charges. I would give this a negative zero star.

Before leaving my home for the airport I got an alert on my phone that my flight was delay untill 8.50 which was not a problem I already checked in online Sunday night.

I was upset so I went back to the ticket counter to see if they would get me any help to another flight, I was told there was two other flight going out but they were fully book so the only thing they could do for me was put me on a flight for Wednesday March 23rd which was not good for me so I told the ticket agent I need a refund back. He said he can't give me a refund back. I will have to contact customer service. So I call and they said I could not get a refund because they offer me a flight for Wednesday and I did not take it, I told the ticket agent I could not go on Wednesday that day was not good for me so they book my flight anyway for Wednesday even though I did not agree to flight on Wednesday only because it was convenient for them and not for us.

This airline is the absolute worst airline in the industry and I plan on filing a complaint with the FAA. Each and every time my family has flown with Frontier, they have been delayed with no apology. My family were on a flight from Cleveland to Tampa on Friday 3/18 at 9:40PM. As seems to be the policy of Frontier Airlines, once my family got checked in and through security, Frontier sends a text message that the flight was delayed "due to a late arriving aircraft". Well it seems that "late arriving" is the only schedule this company goes by. My family was given a voucher for airport food, but it was useless because by that time at night - EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED!!!
The delay went from 2 hours to 6 hours and the airline left everyone stranded in a closed airport. My family decided to go back to a relatives and get some rest before the flight, only to find the airport security closed. When we called Cleveland Hopkins, we were told that Frontier did not notify them that the flight would be delayed and therefore there was no one to let my family (and several others) back into the boarding area - so they missed their flight after being at the airport for several hours and going back and forth twice. They were ungraciously treated when they were rebooked, and didn't offer even a free soda on the flight when my family complained. Then to add to the disaster, once again 30 minutes before their flight was to take off on the next night, Frontier once again sends a text that the flight was delayed. So once again my family spent another 5-6 hours at the airport waiting on Frontier.
When they finally arrived in Tampa (their luggage had been flown in on the previous flight) they were met with a very rude customer service person. My family hadn't slept in nearly two days and been jerked around by your airline with absolutely NO apology and then treated like crap to boot. I can promise you I will post this story on every single social media page that I can and NO ONE in my family will spend one more penny on Frontier because it is obvious you do not care about your customers.

I booked a flight to Florida on March 9th. They delayed that flight until 12:30 am, resulting in me having to find someone who can get me at 3:30 in the morning. I was supposed to return to NY on Wednesday, March 16th but my flight was cancelled and I received no notification. I drove all the way to Tampa to find out I could not fly out. The only available flight offered before my shift on Friday the 18th was out of Orlando on Thursday March 17th. My dad had to take off work to drive me 3 hours to the airport only for them to delay it three times, eventually settling on 5:15 pm. They claimed the delay was due to technical difficulties all day and then said the last delay was to clean the plane. Right as we were about to begin boarding they cancelled the flight with no other return options until Monday night.
I booked this flight months ago and this return ticket was only $30. Now I am missing several days of work, can possibly be fired, and I have no way to return home. I do not trust that they will not cancel the Monday night flight and I cannot afford to call out of work so much. To buy tickets home this last minute with a different airline is at least $200. This on top of the days I am missing work has me losing about $800 and potentially my job. After claiming all day the delays were due to technical difficulties they suddenly changed it to weather problems at the ticketing desk so they are not liable. I have called the airline several times now to complain and they offered no help and hung up on me while I was talking.
This has not only happened to me but also hundreds of other people that also received no help from the airline. I spoke to people whose flight was also cancelled two days before both of my flights were and they are losing the money they had to spend on hotels, dog boarding, and new tickets with other airlines. The customer service is nonexistent and they cannot keep getting away with taking people's money knowing that the flights will not fly. This is very unethical and I think the community should be aware of what is going on. It is not just the money but also the inconvenience of travel plans.
In my experience Spirit airlines is more reliable and that’s pretty sad. I am absolutely furious and am stranded in Florida because I don’t have several hundred dollars to fly back home. I don’t have enough words to express my anger with this horrendous company and am waiting on the day they go out of business for all their conniving tricks.

This airline absolutely has no care for its customers. I had a flight out of TNN Trenton Princeton New Jersey on March 12th. I received a text message at 9:00 in the morning that the flight was delayed by about a half hour. When I showed up at the airport at 8:30 pm for my flight I was told it was canceled. I never received any information earlier about this or I would have made other arrangements to get another flight. Now it's 9:00 at night and I don't have that option anymore. I flew from Florida to New Jersey and find myself currently stuck here now waiting to get another flight which is 2 Days later. They offered $1,000 flight certificate but it must be used within 3 months. Certainly you might think that's a good deal but when your flights cancel and you're stuck somewhere and have to wait 2 days to get another flight back it's not such a good deal.
When I left Florida I parked my car in the parking garage and I am stuck paying for it for extra days and they will not reimburse any cost for the parking. I would not recommend this airline to anybody if that's how they treat people. I took a refund instead of the voucher and would not fly on this airline again. Also I wouldn't even give it one star but you have no choice but to choose at least one.

This is the worst experience I have had in my life when it comes to dealing with a company. I try to book a flight in their website, when I submit for payment it does not go through, stays spinning and spinning, I wait, I check my email for confirmation, no confirmation at all, 3 hours later I receive an email asking me to check my flight in, what flight? I wondered, well the flight was booked, and it happened that I already had a flight with another airline.
Immediately I called Frontier, and they tell me because it was already within 24 hours they can only offer me a credit, not a refund, I tell them that I need a refund that it was totally a bad work from their site and their system, and no way, they then suggest me to email customer service asking for a refund, so I did, but I had already told them that I did not want the flight, well now, they are telling me that no refund for me and no future credit for me. Basically they are telling me screw you, you should have taken the credit when I offered to you. The worst ever, believe, be aware and very careful with them.

Horrible horrible experience! My hubby and I traveled from Cancun airport to Dulles airport. We first of all spent 3 hrs just to check in to our flight, almost missed our flight. No one seemed to who what the hell they were doing! Finally we got through it and ran to the gate we were told. We got to the gate and noticed that they gave us the wrong gate, so we had to run again to opposite direction to try to catch that flight. Finally, we were able to board the plane. Once we got to Dulles airport, the customs could not find us on the plane for some reasons. The customs police told us it seemed like we have not boarded the plane. Basically, we were still apparently sitting in Cancun airport. Wow!
We had to be taken in an interview room with some other customs police officers to see what really happened! This took some time to check, and we finally were able to go home. This was a very dangerous situation they put us through! It was a breach of our security, and they placed our lives in arms way! There is a lady in customer relations named Brittany who was insanely rude to us when we called to report the incident!

The airline canceled our flight then said it would refund the ticket. We then had to buy another ticket that cost more for the return flight. They did not refund the money but put it on credit with their airline for future use and not a refund as they had said in the notice to us that they canceled our flight home. What would I want with another credit to an airline I never want to fly on again? The customer service Anna was absolutely horrible. No matter how many times I asked to speak to a manager she just continue talking over me and then ask if I would like to cancel all the flights and just have a credit with them. Great idea, that’s what I wanna do. How to credit with an airline I never want to fly on again. Worst service and airline ever! If they tell you they’re going to give you a refund what they mean is we’re going to keep your money and then charge more for the next flight.

On Feb 20, after our return flight from Miami to Dallas was canceled, we arrived at the Frontier ticket counter to rebook a flight to get home. A couple we traveled with were rebooked at the counter for the next nonstop flight. Me and my wife were next in line and the ticket agent waved his hands in the air yelling "no more rebooking!' He said the people behind us in line were trying to get on their flight and we would have to wait... I pleaded with him and tried to explain that the line was full of people on the same canceled flight and if he delayed our rebook the flight would sell out. He and the other agents actively refused to help us in any way at all. They wouldn't even check their system.
After he assisted the next dozen people asking to rebook from the same canceled flight, he then abandoned his station, stopped booking anyone, and just helped another agent by putting checked bags on the conveyor. So we called customer service and tried to rebook with them. After thirty minutes of receiving no help on the phone, a ticket agent supervisor arrives. The agent supervisor and phone agent were commenting on completely different flight schedules as if they couldn't see what the other was seeing! The supervisor says the non-stop flight our friends got on was already sold out. The only option left was a 6:00am flight with a 7 hour layover in Atlanta, or a flight on the 23rd two days later! They refused to investigate flights from other carriers.
The next day we take our first flight to Atlanta, wait for 7 hours, and board our second flight. The flight attendant on the second flight got on the intercom after boarding to welcome everyone on board, then threatened "no-fly lists" for anyone that had a facemask on the "tip" of the nose, and required masks over the "bridge" of the nose. As far as I know, the CDC doesn't state anything more than "over the nose and mouth". The flight attendant then walked down the aisle and threatened three passengers directly with the same "no-fly list" threat. To make matters worse, a second attendant had her mask only on the tip of her nose. I get it, people can be difficult regarding masks, but the first contact with the passengers laden with "no-fly list" threats was extremely unprofessional and placed undue stress on all passengers for no reason.
During the safety presentation, the same flight attendant got on the intercom, stopped the presentation, and threatened to remove passengers from the plane for talking during the presentation... This attendant was on a power trip and was itching to engage in and promote conflict. Passengers as well as other flight attendants were looking around at each other in disbelief. I planned on asking for the attendant's name, but if Frontier cares, they can look up the flight records. I bet my left eye they don't. It has become painfully obvious that Frontier's training efforts are noticeably subpar compared to other airlines in my experience. The actions of multiple Frontier employees caused us to have to pay for additional hotel rooms, meals, ground transportation....which all added up to much more than the money we saved with Frontier's "lowest price guarantee".... I will never use them again, and you shouldn't.

I had a flight cancelled in October by Frontier and was issued a $100 voucher. In teeny tiny print it said to be used within 90 days but wouldn’t you know, around the 90-day mark is when they were cancelling flights left and right because of Covid staffing shortages. They refused to expend or reissue a voucher even though it was completely their fault the flight was cancelled.

Customer service was horrible and when asked for a name they stated they didn't have to give us their name for their safety. Never have I heard so many nonsense in one night. Yes they were a cheaper flight but in the long run we lost more choosing them. Just horrible first time experience. Don't FLY with them.

During the first months of the COVID outbreak, airlines began canceling flights and the Federal Gov't responded to the outcry from consumers by requiring airlines to refund passengers who had flights canceled due to COVID. Well, Frontier decided to provide time limited vouchers instead. I had my voucher time limit extended because I had originally called to insist on a refund which their call center CS in the Philippines on two separate occasions told me I would be receiving a refund - that never happened and a voucher was my only resolution. Now that I want to finally use the voucher, I'm told that it expired. This company needs to be investigated for fraud, theft and unfair business practices.

Flew Frontier for the first time ever yesterday. And after my return flight, it will be the last. There was a nationwide computer outage at Frontier, however, no one at Ohare made this public to any of the thousands of passengers sitting on the floor. My wife and I were super excited to go on vacation with our daughter, but had to sit at Ohare for 8 hours before any information about our flight was available. We finally got on the plane at 1 pm, flight was supposed to leave at 615 am. Plane didn't take off until 2 pm, and by that point, our connecting flight out of Orlando had already left. We get dropped off at a united gate in Orlando with zero information about our next flight, let alone where our luggage may be.
When we finally spoke to someone at Frontier, they told us we missed our flight and there was nothing we could do. No chance to catch another flight, because all other flights that day were canceled. We were told to go to customer service, but there were more than 2,000 people waiting in line. Had we stayed, we would still be in line 1 day later. This morning they sent us a $100 credit, unacceptable. We missed our flight, lost our rental car, and had to spend an extra $600 to get a car to try to get to our destination. Stay as far away from Frontier as you can. Horrible customer service. They very clearly do NOT care about their customers!

Recently my sister and I planned a trip to Cancun. I purchased both tickets and insurance for the trip. Unfortunately, she came down with Covid so we could not go on the trip. I requested a full refund and was told I could only get refunded for my sister's ticket because she is the one who contracted Covid. I then asked if I could at least get a voucher for my ticket.

Second time, thankfully I was with a military member and they agreed to reimburse our flight with Southwest to replace the flight they canceled. However, I didn't get the check.

They cancelled our flight and sent an email giving instructions on how to proceed in order to flight with another airline for which they told us to pay and will refund the cost of the tickets by mailing a check in 2 weeks, so I have been calling customer service without success. They keep me on the phone for more than 30 minutes every time (I called several times) and hung up. The only time I was lucky enough to talk to a representative she pretended to be checking my information, keep me on the phone waiting and ended up hanging up on me again. This is the worst company to flight with. If you are making plans check their social media. That way you will see all the complaints because it seems reviews in Google aren't accurate.

After flight canceled then got the lady two seats on a later flight, that flight was delayed and delayed again.

Within minutes a customer service person entered the plane and instructed my son AND his girlfriend to gather their belongings as the were being involuntarily removed from the flight because a mask wearing young girl looked pale in the stewardess 'opinion.
The girlfriend has a very fair complexion, blonde hair, see thru eyebrows, burns doesn't tan..etc. I'm guessing the last two seats.. in row 8 weren't really available at all..Frontier overbooked.

We flew NYC to Cancun and back with Frontier. Dec 2021/Jan2022. Both legs were late by more than 2 hours. NYC to Cancun, the "ground staff" took 2 hours to load the luggage. Cancun to NYC, the "ground staff" was understaffed and took 2 hours to check people into the flight, imagine what a 2 hour long queue for 4 flights look like in Cancun airport!
Real story (according to one of the flight hostesses) is that this happens every day on these flights. Frontier just hires the lowest cost baggage handling and ticketing contractors and pushes the wait time onto the passenger discomfort, knowing that they can abuse passengers and cut cost. In fact the company even abuses its staff. The crew "clocked-out" during the flight, which apparently happens all the time. Meaning that the Frontier flights are so delayed that while the plane is in the air the crew actually reach their maximum time of being allowed to work during flights and they simply have to stop working. The crew are in this case actually the first people to get off the flight.
This airline should not be allowed to continue operating like this. They abuse passengers, staff, and safety for profit. Trust that people take this into account when they book. I certainly will never get into their planes again. Not worth the risk. Imagine what Frontier Airlines does on cutting maintenance costs. The planes will simply become more and more unsafe until...

My family flew Frontier from Chicago to Las Vegas during the holidays. Then the wave of Omicron swept the nation and while that is totally acceptable to cancel a flight for that reason, what the airline did next was not acceptable. After notifying us of the cancelation they did not honor the fine print on their ticket/website. They did not help us to find another flight, they did not help us with refunds either. We were stranded and forced to find flights on other airlines, lodging, food and lost 2 days wages. It has been a week since and NO REFUNDS!

I recently flew Frontier Airlines from Baltimore to Seattle and back. The experience was absolutely terrible for the following reasons:
2. The seating is terrible and you have to pay a fee for a couple of extra inches of leg room.
3. The air system was terrible and it felt like you were taking a sauna. Frontier has relatively new planes and their air circulation systems should provide comfortable cabins.
4. Nothing is included. Even a diet coke costs about 4 dollars. A glass of wine is $9.
5. No internet.
6. Seats are uncomfortable.
7. Full flights are similar to traveling in a cattle car on the way to market.
The lesson learned is that the bare bones operation called Frontier is not worth the pain nor is getting nickel and dimed at every stage a pleasant experience. In the future, I will pay more to receive basic services. The Frontier business model is unsustainable.

Delay from Trenton NJ to West Palm Beach FL was 5 hours (meaning we spent 7 hours at the Trenton Airport). Due to this delay, I couldn't get the rental car since everything was closed at the Florida Airport (my money lost already). Needed to take Uber and come back next day taking Uber again (additional money) to rent the car. One day of my vacation lost as well. On the way back they cancelled our flight. I called them only to be confirmed by them 3 times that this fight is unfortunately cancelled and they can offer me the flight in 4 days (haha what a good joke). Of course, I could not wait 4 days and who would pay for that? Instead of planned dinner I had to sit on the phone and then look for possible way out from FL.
I booked Spirit 4 tickets for all my travelers. When checking confirmation email I saw Frontier's email stating to forget about cancellation since their flight is on time. Spirit Airlines could not refund me the money of course (not to mention all that time back and forth on the phone). So, I used the Frontier flight since it was to my destination and few hours earlier, unlike Spirit Airline which I was forced to purchase but also it was going to Atlantic City from where the Uber would cost me additional money.
I thought it will be simple for Frontier to refund me that money spent DUE TO THEIR ERROR. However, quickly I've learn that they are not willing to refund me any money since it's different airline.

We boarded Frontier flight 242 on 9/3/2021 from Denver to Houston and they kept us in the plane for over 2 hours because they were servicing the plane. To eventually ask us to deplane and enter a different plane. After we entered the second plane and they closed the cabin ready to depart, they started servicing the second plane for over 1 hour again before we eventually departed. We were supposed to get to Houston by 11 AM but never got there until after 4 PM. This is so terrible and the flight attendants were all rude saying we should feel free to find another flight if we like but they won’t be bringing out our checked bag and if we depart the plane we cannot be allowed back in.
Called their customer service line and even spoke to their management and they are refusing to refund the ticket saying as long as the plane has boarded, no refund can be issued. They are instead sending a $25 voucher. The rudeness and lack of customer concern is disheartening. This is customer bullying. #FrontierAirlineBulliesCustomers.

My suitcase was 12lbs over and was charged $75. What a rip off. Then at the gate an elderly couple had been charged a $100, after looking at the carry-on, it would have easily fit under the seat. Do yourself a favor, do not use Frontier.

On Friday 20 Aug 21, I flew with Frontier Airlines from ELP to LAS. We were suppose to depart at 10:05pm on Friday, arriving into LAS on/around 10:30 pm. Unfortunately, we didn't even start boarding till about 10:15 pm and departed around 10:40 pm. We arrived into LAS around 11:05 pm. This where the experience got even worse! The flight attendant advised our baggage pick up would be at carrousel 23 (He never mentioned we should find our way to Terminal 3, instead most of us on the flight arrived at Terminal 1 baggage claim).
Well when I finally managed to find my way to Terminal 3 baggage claim area, our bags were still not anywhere to be found. It would be another 30 minutes (over an hour after arriving) before our bags were at the baggage carrousel. The Frontier baggage claims attendants could not advise us how much longer until the bags would arrive. Bottom Line: The flight attendant should have advised us we needed to go to the terminal 3 baggage claim area. There should be a better/faster way to get our bags to the baggage claim area!

I had 2 vouchers from 2020 travel that was not possible to use due to COVID. I didn't realize that one expired before the other and when I did I contacted them for an extension. It was 8 days after the date and they won't refund or extend. Under normal circumstances I would understand being so rigid, but COVID is still going on and I think they should be more flexible because of it. So I paid them over $300 and got zero in return, seems criminal to me.

Never have I been so disrespected by an airline. I booked last minute with Frontier after having a Spirit Airlines flight cancel on me. Frontier's front desk agents and phone operators have been rude and unhelpful. My flights with Frontier also became delayed and cancelled, resulting in delays at the airport running over 24 hours! I was informed that I would be receiving a refund and/or flight vouchers for the trouble I went through. However, it appears Frontier will no longer honor or follow through with any reconciliation originally promised. While the expense of the flight is only a couple hundred dollars and means nothing, I would expect to be treated better after being stranded at the airport for over 24 hours. Spirit at least apologized, refunded and provided flight vouchers as an apology for their cancelled flight. Frontier was a last minute booking, I now know to never fly Frontier again.

Arrived 2.5 hours before the flight. The check in agents didn't arrive until 1 hour and 15 minutes prior to the flight leaving about 200 people waiting in line. They didn't delay the plane until after the departure time came and went. Then they boarded the plane even before they loaded the baggage onto the plane so we had to sit in a hot plane for 90 minutes with no details as to what was going on. Throughout this entire process, we received little or no updates. This is the fourth set of flights I have taken with Frontier and we have had a bad customer service experience with them. I can honestly say I will never fly with them again unless there are no other possible options. I do Not recommend you use Frontier even if they have a great price.

Flying Frontier Airlines is like ordering raw oysters at Ruby Tuesday. You know it’s a bad idea but you’re just hoping to get lucky that one time that the oysters happen to be less than a week old. Unfortunately, chances are those oysters will make you irregular at best and send you to the doctor at worst. Frontier Airlines is the bottom of the airline travel barrel. Yes the price at first glance is cheaper than every other airline, however, once they charge you for every bag, carry on, WiFi, seat upgrade etc the price is only a tiny bit better. Where it really hurts is when you get stuck on the plane for over an hour while you watch Spirit Airlines planes take off before you. It makes you rethink your decision to save a few dollars to instead pay extra and enjoy the modern amenities of a power outlet/table tray bigger than the finger nail on your thumb.

I never write reviews because I always feel too guilty BUT this experience I had was horrible. First of all, I never got my confirmation code.

I have worked customer service so I also hate being a rude customer and I am always polite and understanding to the person on the other side. However, I called 8 times and each time I was put into contact with a representative, I was hung up on mid-sentence. Eventually I had to resort to contacting them through social media and I finally was able to get a straight answer.
Then, I needed to change my flight because I was summoned to jury duty and again had to experience the calls where I kept getting hung up on. The whole reason I booked my flight was because I had to get surgery and now I might miss my surgery AND jury duty because their change fees are ridiculous and literally the same price as the flight I booked.

Frontier cancelled my wife's flight for no reason at the last second, stranding her at the airport with our newborn. They made her miss her connection home, offered no alternatives, simply shrugged and said they'd refund her money for the frontier flight only. NOT for the connections they made her miss, or all the expenses they burdened us with by cancelling. Absolutely disgusting and unforgivable behavior. No alternate flights offered home, just a callous "oh well too bad for you". Cost us hundreds in hotel expenses and new flight bookings, not to mention the extreme stress of doing all that while caring for a newborn.

I was drawn to Frontier because of the cheap flights (I just need to get from point A to point B), but it ended up costing me more. On the way to our honeymoon, our flight was delayed 5 hours with no explanation. That wasn't ideal, but it happens. Coming back from our honeymoon, Frontier cancelled our flight when we got to the airport with no explanation. They offered an amount for other airlines that wouldn't cover the cost of any flight, so we had to take their option of putting us on another Frontier flight the next day that (problems with that are explained below). We told the Frontier rep that Frontier needed to give us a place to spend the night since they messed us up. They gave us a piece of paper that said we would be refunded up to $150 for a hotel if we submitted the hotel reservation info on their website. The only place within that range was a cheap motel, but we went for it so we'd have a place to sleep.
I had a feeling that they would find some way to avoid keeping their promise and reimbursing us. Sure enough, we submitted everything they asked for online and didn't hear from them for a month. After contacting them, they finally responded and said we wouldn't be reimbursed because we didn't have that piece of paper (just plain text on white paper) they had given us 1 month ago. The paper, the rep, and the website said absolutely nothing about needing that piece of paper. They had record of the flight being cancelled, our flight being changed to the next day, and that they had the document on their computer. Just a ridiculous way to avoid reimbursing us for the problem they put us in.
For the new flight, instead of the direct flight from Denver to Philly that we paid for, sent us all the way down to Florida for a layover before flying back up to Philly, costing us an entire extra day and requiring us to pay for overpriced food at the airport (Frontier said they wouldn't help with any of this). Other people on our plane talked about missing important meetings and weddings because of Frontier's frequent cancelations. The initial price of the flight might be cheaper, but you'll probably end up paying more. If your plans are totally flexible and you're fine with sleeping in the airport, you can take the risk. But if you have anything scheduled at your destination, go with another airline.

This was the most uncomfortable, unprofessional, anxiety provoking flight I have ever taken. First of all, I did not realize it would be completely full. When I got my ticket and viewed my seat assignment, it showed a window next to my seat and looked like the middle seat would be empty. Then come to find out, I actually had the middle seat on both my flight from SLC as well as my flight from Denver to Seattle. My flight from Denver to Seattle is where most of my very negative experience occurred. I was in row 5, just behind first class. When I boarded, there was no room for my carry on in the overhead bin above my seat or the one closest to it.
In order not to slow down the boarding process I took it back about 8 rows and put it in one back there and then fought my way back to my seat (which felt very uncomfortable), When I got back to my seat, I got the attention of one of the flight attendants and gave her a description of my bag and the bin it was in, and asked if she would see if there was room in a bin closer she could put it in so it would be easier to get it at the end of my flight. She said, "we can't guarantee there will be room for your carry on close to you", and she walked off while I was still trying to talk to her. When the flight was over, I could not bear to stay on to get my bag until everyone was off the plane, so I decided to exit the plane and wait until everyone was off and then go get my bag. I let the same attendant know on my way out and she said sternly "you can't exit the aircraft, you won't be allowed back on. You can sit here." And she pointed to the first row of seats.
So I sat down and since I was just sitting there I mentioned I was surprised the plane was so full and that I thought they weren't filling the middle seats as many other airlines still weren't doing, and this same attendant said, "well we wouldn't survive if we did that." Then she said "you can go back a few rows at a time to try and get back to where your bag is". And I told her I was really uncomfortable with that, going against all the people trying to get off the plane and being in such close contact with so many and my concern about COVID. Under her breath but loud enough for me to hear she said "well you can just wait your turn then", Then I mentioned that I wouldn't think they would want me to do that since all the signs up until you get on the plane say to remain six feet apart. She said "well that obviously doesn't apply here, it would be impossible."
I said it just makes me very uncomfortable with COVID to be on such a full flight and then to have it suggested that I try to maneuver so close to so many people at one time to retrieve my bag. At that point she looked at me with the most disgusted irritated look and said "well you could drive." I have been speechless very few times in my life, but I was at that moment. I will unfortunately never be able to forget this experience. I would think, especially during COVID when anxieties can be high, that your flight attendants are trained to deal with these situations. I am a frontline worker. I am a medical assistant and I work for MultiCare at an urgent care where I am face to face with highly possible cases of COVID all the time. If I treated my very concerned patients the way this woman treated me, and my manager found out about it, I would be fired immediately.
I was absolutely shocked to have a flight attendant treat and talk to me this way. Upon finally leaving the plane I mentioned I would never fly Frontier again, and she said very sarcastically "that's fine." This behavior goes well beyond your flight attendant having a bad or off day. She is very clearly not cut out for this line of work, and at the very least, should never be promoted. There were two attendants that night. This one was petite with strawberry blonde hair possibly to her shoulders and very blue eyes. The other one had a bigger build and more platinum blonde hair. I would be happy to have someone contact me about this and even more to compensate me for such a traumatic experience. I haven't put any reviews online, but I definitely will if this is ignored. Nor will I consider ever flying Frontier again. Thank You for listening to my concerns.

The scene at Las Vegas Airport on Sunday was actually jawdropping, people being delayed between 8-10 hours without any consideration or real answers, I purchased round trip tickets from Philadelphia to Las Vegas both overnight flights & nonstop, they were not cheap at over $600 before adding any luggage, The flight leaving out of Philadelphia Thursday night was delayed by about two hours but we did eventually get on the plane and make it into Las Vegas Friday morning 23 July 2021. Of course you do not get offered a glass of water or anything else unless you pay for it. Nevertheless we were flying home on Sunday night another overnight flight nonstop from Las Vegas to Philadelphia. On 25 July 2021 we arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare and naturally we were given delays.
A flight that was supposed to leave at 10:10 was delayed and delayed until finally it was near 3 AM when they put us on the airplane. Then we were told that they had a balance issue and Frontier Airlines needed 18 volunteers to get off the plane and they would receive a $1000 flying voucher and be given a room and put on the next plane. Well my cousin and I decided to volunteer. Long story short they ended up canceling the Flight. Then they decided that the volunteers were not getting their vouchers because they had to cancel the entire flight so even the volunteers were not going to get what they were promised even though they kept up their end of the bargain. Then frontier proceeded to try and reroute people who had paid expensively to fly nonstop to take flights that had five hour layovers.
Now I had been at the airport for longer than 12 hours and to be honest I was a little irate because I could get no answers out of anyone. The condensed version of this is I did get a little loud because I was not having my questions answered. I absolutely did not threaten anyone or use any profane language call anybody names. None of the frontier workers. I just was very upset because they were not helping us and they lied to us. Basically they were giving us a $10 voucher for breakfast and we need to be happy about that after spending the entire night sitting in the airport being given the runaround. The supervisor Who is called in because everybody was going crazy that I had volunteered and even the people that eventually had been taken off the flight everybody was so upset so they called in the supervisor.
Without a doubt she was the rudest, meanest, most inconsiderate, unhelpful person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Yes I was upset so she proceeded to call the airport police on me because I was irate she said. I’m a 53-year-old woman 5 foot two and 125 pounds. I pose no threat. However there were other people there using profane language that she did not call security on so the situation was diffused. I walked away to calm down and I just thought it was over now. I’m just gonna have to wait again until 10 o’clock at night to get on an airplane when to my surprise the supervisor decided that I was not allowed to board the plane because she did not like the way I acted so I was refused access to the flight that left at 7:30 AM that morning and had to wait to fly home at 10:30 that night. After all the inconveniences I was punished because she did not like my tone.
Do not ever fly frontier. I will never again. Also my cousin was with me and her medication for her asthma was in her suitcase which was sent on to Philadelphia without us because she would not leave me stranded at the airport when the supervisor whose name was Britney refused to allow me access to the plane. Buyer beware. Frontier Airlines should not be allowed to be in business. Their employees do not care about you. They are rude, inconsiderate and if they do not like your tone they will refuse you access to a flight even after you’ve already been in the airport for 24 hours.
Yes I’m very upset and I plan on pursuing this to see if there is some way Frontier Airlines will at least compensate because it is not fair that they do not have to explain to you why you’re not getting on your plane. They have no customer skills. They do not understand nor do they try or care if you are upset and if they do not like the way you act they will deny you access to the flight when it finally does. Life disgraceful. I have flew Too many times to count and I will never as long as I live ever take a plane from frontier airlines again. I neither will anybody else in my family. Not that they care because they do not.

Everyone there was well within time limits but Frontier just left everyone to their own devices. Terrible leadership and management...and then we come to the delays.
Leaving Orlando, we were hours late but by that time we were grateful just to move. As of today, two weeks later, I/wife have been at the airport since 11 AM for a 2 PM departure.

I wish I could give zero stars and just a bad review! On Jun 24, 2021, my wife and daughter were supposed to board flight 1259 from Newark to Florida. I dropped them off at the airport at 3:30 AM for a flight that was supposed to depart at 6:30 AM. They were told that there would be a 1 hour delay because their flight/gate was given to people going to Cancun instead (obviously the flight to Cancun cost more so they were a priority).
After several more delays, and them sitting in the airport for almost 12 hours, they were told their flight was cancelled. They then had to get to another airline ASAP, since Frontier was not offering another, and pay $1600 (compared to the $200 they paid to Frontier) for new tickets, otherwise they would lose their hotel and car reservations (all pre-paid) since they would have missed the check-in times. After getting to Florida at almost 1 AM on June 25th, they had to take a taxi to the hotel and managed to keep their reservation, getting the last room they had, others that came in afterwards were not so lucky. A few hours later, they had to get back up and take another taxi to the car rental and get whatever they had available.
Frontier then, refused to give them a refund. They had to send over the proof of original tickets, the new tickets, receipts for all expenses, and after all that harassment (when they know the flight was cancelled), they refunded the $200+ dollars. They gave them vouchers totaling $800, which they then refused to honor. I personally have had delays and cancellations with other airlines, but, they've always made good on the problems.

It’s like their only job is to give you a hard time on your vacation.
While boarding, the staff didn’t give clear instructions to the passengers about the boarding zones and after waiting so much in line when I asked her she responded with a vulgar attitude for no reason and asked my family and I to go to a different longer line with the excuse that she is only checking in passengers with minors (and that wasn’t true because she had just boarded so many people without minors right in front of me and other witnesses boarding the plan). So my parents and I wanted to complain because simply it’s just not acceptable behavior and also seeing that my father is older and just came out of surgery, she had no respect and provided 0 assistance.
Not only that but after we complained we were asked to leave the flight because apparently you can’t complain about poor customer service in Frontier, you must swallow the disrespect and be treated like a peasant just because the flight is cheaper. I am baffled by what happened and still am in complete shock, instead of taking constructive criticism which would definitely help their company and improve their overall performance they just kicked my family and I off the plane after they accosted us. They have ruined my vacation and wasted a lot of my money. I know the prices they offer are very catchy because they are cheaper compared to other airlines but don’t get fooled by that! If you want to be treated with normal human respect don’t fly frontier.

Bottom line up front, Frontier Airlines, don’t fly with them. Ever. Why you ask? Well, short answer, they’re incompetent and their customer service is non-existent. I booked a flight to Denver. Non-stop from Tampa. Flight is cheap, Until you factor in having to pay for even a carry on. But okay. Flight is cancelled. Due to weather. Again, okay. After exiting the plane all the passengers are told they’ve been automatically rebooked on a flight departing the following day at 12:05 pm. Sucks, but hey, okay.
Next morning, flight still not showing up on Frontier Airlines app so I can check in and print boarding pass. Call reservation number. Told that I’m booked on non-stop flight departing Tampa at 12:05. Arrive at airport, stand in long line at counter. Line doesn’t move for 30 minutes. Finally ask about line, told wrong line. Pointed out that would have been nice to know 30 minutes ago and a sign would have been nice. Response is they normally don’t have two lines. Myself and ten other people change lines. Finally get to counter. Told sorry, but the flight I thought I was booked on doesn’t exist. Woman at agent next to me upset because she is told the same thing. Agent acts like she is lying when she explains she was told she was booked on a 12:05 flight. I let them know I was told the exact same thing. Told no flights today unless I’m willing to drive to Orlando and take a flight there departing at 8:55pm.
Ask if they will provide or reimburse for a shuttle to take me there. Told to contact customer service for that request. Given phone number for customer service. Call number provided and wait on hold for 40 minutes. Person who finally answers is not real customer service, eventually convince him to connect me to the real customer service. Ask for number. He won’t provide it, but he does connect me. Wait on hold another 30 minutes. Explain everything again. Transferred to ANOTHER customer unservice rep. Finally told they can only book the alternate flight, can’t pay to shuttle me to airport. Request full refund. Never flying Frontier again. Write reviews. Then end.

⚠️WARNING ⛔️ I would not recommend booking with this airline if your travel plans are not extremely flexible!!!! Your customer service is absurd. You canceled the flight and said it was due to weather even though all other airlines continue their flights for the day at this airport. I was on hold for over 6 1/2 hours trying to get on the next flight and was told that the next flight would be over 24 hours after my original flight. I was not able to take that 24 hour later flight due to my work schedule and needed to move my flight to the next week. I was then told that I had to pay The difference in fare for the flight because I was not able to move it to the 24 hour later flight. The manager I spoke with employee ID number ** said there was nothing they could do to accommodate me other than giving me a refund and having me purchase a ticket with another airline. Sounds like that’s what I should’ve done in the first place.

I have been back and forth to Buffalo for the last month with my same travel bag and today I was charged for my bag that I have been using for the past month so my concern is why today if I would had to pay before. I would not be upset but today on my way back home I have to pay so if you gonna enforce the rules it should be at all times not sometimes with certain people, I have spent thousands with Frontier over the years and today will be my last flight as a frontier customer especially going to or coming from Buffalo NY and the staff were useless.

We show up to the airport 2 hours before our flight per their instructions. They were not doing electronic boarding passes so everyone had to go to the ticket counter. One person working the counter. We finally get to the counter 1 and a half hours later and they tell us, and roughly the other 50 plus people behind us, that we have to rebook our flight because it’s too close to the flight departure. Their next flight was 4 days later. They told us to call customer service for a refund but I talked to 3 people at customer service who said no refund because we should have taken the other flight 4 days later. We had to pay to board our dogs and lost some of the nonrefundable portion at our resort. They offered us $25 vouchers after complaining to customer service. I’m hiring an attorney.

Could not get me on my flight. 100% their fault and admittedly so. Refund? No. Kept my money including the seat and bag fees. They agreed not to bill me for "missed flight fee", which obviously does not exist. I'm baffled this company is allowed to stay in business after they clearly steal from people. DO NOT TRUST THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. If you work for them, know who you are working for. Find another job.

Never in my life have I ever felt this compelled to make several reviews in different sites to speak out about my terrible service EVER! TILL NOW SO LET'S BEGIN!! They nickel and dime you, it is absolutely not worth it. If I can give 0 stars and NEVER EVER experience this company ever again I will. This was those terrible life lessons that taught me to pay good money upfront to avoid secret fees and hassles. They charge you for everything even ** regular airlines don't charge you for. Bottom line you will end up paying way more than what you was trying to avoid paying. Also for us to be in a pandemic and shoved like sardines next to strangers with no way to really social distance was crazy. How are you going to enforce masks but not all the other rules smh.
Also my friend flew down to meet me and used Delta and his experience was different and they actually gave people space in between strangers for safety measures, something Frontier did not care to do because they are about milking as many people as possible than people's health and safety. Their seats are super uncomfortable. Also unless your bag is a purse you're gonna pay for it Especially if you don't pay ahead of time before you get to the airport. Bottom line go to Delta, Jet Blue, even American Airlines... DO NOT USE Frontier. I will absolutely warn everyone and make sure everyone who will travel in the future never uses this company.

My party of 12 arrived at MCO airport 2 hours before our flight departing for SYR, per usual and normal instructions. We printed out our baggage tags since we had 12 bags that needed to be checked and boarded. There was no attendant available at any “bag drop” so I went up and asked where we drop our bags that were ready to board. We were told “there is no bag drop and that we needed to wait in line.” The line stretched out to about 200 yards around 3 corners of the airport that we waited in for 1 hour and 45 minutes. While waiting in line, we overheard Frontier flight attendants talking with airport staff, “wow, I have never seen it this bad before.” We received no updates while in line about our departing flight.
When it was our turn to finally drop off our bags, we were told “You missed your flight, it has already departed.” The only option that was given to us was a flight going into SYR on Thursday, 4/15. This was not a viable option at all since we are teachers and all are scheduled to work on Monday, while we have kids who have school. We were pushed aside for the next people in line who, talking with others, were in the same exact circumstance.
Since Frontier Airlines offered no other viable options for us to get back to SYR or closer to NY, we were forced to look at other airlines. Because flights were so packed, we were forced to split into 2 groups and travel home later that night and into the next day. We could not find any flights from MCO to SYR so we were forced to travel to different airlines, which had us having to rent cars and hotel rooms. All receipts are being provided along with a video showing how long the line was still after we had gone through it. Again, no updates were provided to us while we were in line. If we were contacted to arrive at the airport sooner because of staff shortages or long lines, we certainly would have done this. But zero contact or updates from Frontier airlines were given to us until we were told our flight had departed without us.

I had a departing flight scheduled for May 19th that I needed to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. This would have been my first time flying in over 8 years. I was told the only way to get my money back was to get a credit. When I told them I wouldn’t be able to use the credit due to having to reschedule my vacation from May to this week, and because I never fly, I was told I would need to provide documentation proving the events I said happened actually happened. The customer service rep never offered to accommodate the flights I need now and when I asked if there was someone else I could speak with she just kept offering to walk me through the website to upload the documents she claimed they needed. This was a horrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend ever using this airline.

Frontier cancelled my flight less than 1 week prior to departure and when I checked my itinerary 2 days before flying, I found out I didn’t have a flight. I called and they had no flights to accommodate my date of travel. Flights rose by $400 by other airlines at this point. When I called customer service I waited an hour and 40 minutes and a “supervisor” told me that I would receive a refund and $100 flight voucher. I was confused why I wasn’t automatically refunded when it was cancelled. They said they wait for the customer to call to refund anyone.
I waited 7 business days for my voucher as instructed and 2 weeks later it never came. I waited another hour and 45 minutes on hold back and forth between representatives who told me the voucher they offered me was denied.. a voucher I was offered and never requested initially. They told me they don’t give vouchers to people who receive refunds. It was a truly terrible experience. Some man “Arvy” who was a supervisor then was very disrespectful to me on the phone and told me that he can’t help me. I’ve never had a worse experience with customer service.

I booked a vacation package through Travelocity, in this case, you don't have no options to choose an airline. The destination of the trip was Canada, the departure was from San Francisco making a stopover at the Denver airport and then from there to Buffalo, NY. In conclusion, if flights is long, I do not recommend this airline, their seats are uncomfortable. I am petite lady, anyway I got a back pain. Another thing, they charge you for everything, including the water. I would not recommend this airline unless your flight time is just one hour. Fortunately, the return to the trip was in a different airline.

FLIGHT 2384 From Atlanta to Philadelphia. There was no level of social distancing. We were told at the point of boarding that strangers will be sitting in the seats next to you and if you didn’t like that you can’t get another flight. That was totally unexceptionable. My husband and I were not seated together. We both were seated next to people who did not have on the appropriate face coverings and constantly had their mask off and no one said anything. I will never fly this airline again. I felt so unsafe. The plane did not have the empty middle seat as per federal guidelines for social distancing. There were no empty seats on the plane. I was uncomfortable and nervous that I would definitely catch coronavirus from one of these people. I had to double up on my mask and sit leaning forward for extra safety. That middle seat should’ve been empty.
They separated families purposely to get you to purchase seating. That is absolutely disgusting. There was a family of 3 and they took that family and seated them in three different middle seats rather than put them in the same row together where they felt safe, and some were children whose parents paid for their child’s seat! Totally unacceptable! I will never not will I recommend this airline to anyone of my colleagues, family, or friends unless they don’t mind being put in dangerous situations by Frontier Airlines because obviously, you all were more concerned about the money and not the well-being of the customers. -- Shelton **
