    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.

    Worst airline ever! I rather go through any other but them! The moment you walk into their section at the airport, right away they ask for your credit card without even telling you what you are purchasing, neither do they even know what they are charging either! I called customer service to see why Frontier was charging me $140 for, and the lady couldn't even answer that. She kept transferring me to other people and they couldn't find anything to say but that they charged me $140 for 2 carry on bags.

    The lady on the phone was so rude and mean, she laughed and kept putting me on hold. They do not know how to do their job. Horrible service. I even booked 2 flights with my husband, requesting seats together due to my disorder and they still managed to seat us separate! They were all out of stock on a lot of food on the plane, I literally ordered almost every item on the tablet but they were out of stock. I didn't get to eat on the plane. "Mind you I also have a disorder," staff was very rude about the situation. I couldn't do anything but sit there and cry. Worst time I ever flew in my life!

    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. Next time, I would rather not fly.

    This company is the worst. This is the first time I fly with them. First problem, computer glitch while we taxiing then after 2 hours delay another glitch. Now it’s 3 hours sitting in the plane. We finally get to take off. Never fly them unless you’re dead broke. It’s really not worth the money saved. By the way they charge $40 for carry on and $50 for baggage.

    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. You really ** me Frontier, I will gladly pay more for Southwest in the future to avoid dealing with your ** ever again. I would even risk it with ** Spirit if I needed a cheap flight. Wish I could give 0 stars.

    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. My return flight is through the same airline and I am afraid to see her as I feel she may have something personal against me.

    My daughter is trying to fly from Atlanta to San Francisco to visit her aunt on your airline and this will be our first and last time flying with you. The flight yesterday closed the gate early with my daughter and 21 other passengers not on the plane and no employee at the gate to assist them. Then today she was on standby, then she and five other people were assigned seats, but when they boarded they found the seats occupied. The flight attendants yelled at them to leave the plane immediately, did not apologize for any of the confusion and they were still not given any flight or now accommodations. Disgusting treatment and customer service. You people should be bankrupt by now.

    First my flight was changed without my consent. When I called to question I was told they only accommodate people if their flight was changed for 3 or more hours. I eventually hung up because it was a losing battle. When I got to the airport 2 hours prior to my trip as suggested and recommended, there was no one at the ticket count doing check in. I require wheelchair assistance as I am a disabled veteran who just had surgery. I am still waiting at the ticket counter 30 mins later waiting for someone to assist me with a wheelchair! I had to pay for the baggage cart to put my luggage on because there was no one to help me. You get what you pay for. I will continue to fly any other airline EXCEPT Frontier. No respect for the disabled or veterans

    I purchased tickets to Miami in Jan 9 to catch a flight to Aruba the next day. On 3/12 I get a message I barely could understand that my flight had been change. I went online to find my non-stop flight had been changed to 2 layover 1 in Jacksonville, FL and the other in Colorado. My 3 hour flight turned into 13 hours. I called them and they changed my flight to a non-stop again but I would have to fly out 10 hours earlier. I was not completely happy with this since I would have to miss work but I thought it was better than 13 hours. Today I wake up to an email that they have change my flight again and I am back on the 13 hour flight. If I wanted a 13 hour flight with 2 connections I would have choose that. If this is not a bait in switch I don't know what is. Now I am in a dilemma. I have a hotel room in Aruba I can't get refund on and a flight that I have to travel to all over the country that I'm not sure whether or not it will be changed again.

    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. It makes me sad that a company which has demonstrated such a longstanding record of crappy service is still allowed to operate.

    We flew from Philadelphia to Punta Cana. When we arrived at our resort in Punta Cana we noticed several items missing from our luggage. We notified our Apple Travel Representative at the resort. He said he would make a report with Apple and Frontier. When we arrived home I tried to make an insurance claim. They said they needed an incident number from Frontier. I called and email Frontier that day. A reply email said I would be contacted within 24 hours. Never happened. After multiple phone calls I finally got someone on the phone. I was told they were not notified within 7 days. Explained my Apple representative told me they were notified. I was told there was nothing they could do for me despite the possibility it may have been one of their employees that took the items.

    I cannot get anyone to speak to me about this. I called Apple and I was told they would check with their employee in Punta Cana. I was told I would get a call back in 24 hours. Never happened. I am now back from my vacation 14 days and I am still no closer to resolving this issue than the day I arrived home. Bottom line is Frontier and Apple are happy to take your money, but don't expect any help or courteous customer service after that.

    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.

    Worst flying experience in my life. Advertised low fares are a farce when they add on $ 38 for each leg with a carry on (checked bags are the same), $25-$50 for seat selection, and you pay for EVERYTHING you eat or drink. I don't mind paying for a rum and coke, but a coke and some chips?? Come on!! Now let's talk about those seats you pay to select... I've driven 18 wheelers in the 1970's with better seats! On top of that they don't recline (you read that correctly). Oh wait...you can pay $50 each leg for a reclining seat but they only have 3 or 4 rows of them. 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.

Frontier has a glitch and making you pay to correct it. Also sending an obituary which they ask for isn't good enough. To top it off they want 6 pages letters to get your money back! I'm pissed! They are providing predatory and negligent services. They get no stars for stealing.

    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. The flight that I originally paid $130 for is now costing me an additional $270, bringing my total to $400 for a one-way flight to Miami.

    No outside check baggage. Charge extra for a carry on. 820am flight immediately has mechanical issues. Poor communication on status and what's going on. Boarding staff not trained on positive communication skills. Finally another jet sent in from Tampa. It is currently 1pm and we still haven't boarded. Incredible nightmare for any connector flights with such little assistance from Frontier as they don't partner with other airline to assist people with getting to their destinations.

    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.

    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.

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...

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.

    I requested a 'gate pass' for a family member to meet my special needs brother at both destinations. I not only requested it at the time I purchased the ticket, but I also called one day before he flew to make sure that they had made a note in his file of his needs. They assured me it was noted in the file. From Cincinnati to Florida all went well. However, the return trip was lacking from the time we checked in. I was rudely spoken to by a ticket counter rep. telling me I couldn't go with him to the gate. I asked him to please check the file before telling me I can't go to the gate with him. He clearly read the file and the gate pass was issued. No apology for being rude and abrupt was received.

    As the family member arrived at the Cincinnati Airport to meet my brother at his gate upon his arrival, he found no one was working at any ticket counter. So, no gate pass could be issued. He tried to find someone to assist him and no one was available. He went to security and explained and of course, they couldn't help. Once I was notified that this had happened, I immediately called Frontier to inform them and spoke with a gentleman that I could barely understand. Mind you, it took me about 10 minutes to get to the point where I was given a live person to speak with! Automated services are a pet peeve of mine, but this was extremely poor!

    I explained the situation to him and frantically told him that I needed someone to meet my brother at the gate if they were not going to allow a gate pass for the family member that was there to meet him. He assured me that he had made a note and was going to contact someone from the airport to meet my brother at the gate. He also assured me that he would have the person meeting him explain what had happened as my brother had been instructed by me before leaving me in Florida not to go anywhere until he saw the family member that was there to get him. NONE OF THOSE PROMISES OCCURRED.

    No one was there to meet him. My brother got lost in trying to make his way to baggage claim. The family member meeting him there called his cell phone and he fortunately had it on. He was able to talk him through on where to walk and what to look for. Once he finally reached him there was no sign of his luggage! This has been a stressful event and all because Frontier did not fulfill their responsibility of getting a special needs passenger safely to their final destination as they promised they would.

    I might add while I waited at the airport with my brother to get him boarded on the plane there were people all around me that had been there for 6 hours as the flight they were booked on had no crew members show up to fly the plane. They finally got a crew and then found out that it wasn't even a Frontier plane...it was a charter plane. This has happened to my son in the past, and I have many other people say the same thing happened to them. I won't be around for it to happen to me. Delta here I come! Bye, Frontier!!

    We paid to have our child travel as an unaccompanied minor. Frontier Airlines was responsible for delivering him safely to his grandparents in Iowa and verify their ID prior to releasing him. They did none of that. Instead they told my parents to "wait outside security and an airline rep will bring him to you". While my parents did as instructed, the airline left our son alone to find his way. It took a police officer to find our son. He was found alone in the now vacant destination gate area. He was in the jetway (not sure how a door was left open). The plane had been taxied away and our son was exposed to the cold elements and could have easily fallen off the edge of the jetway bridge. He had been there for 45 minutes before being found. He had been calling his grandparents to come get him. The police officer was extremely upset at what he found. So far the airline has not done anything to address this incompetency and negligence!

    Terrible seating, baggage fees hostage on return flight - We booked a round trip flight from St Louis to Cancun. On the trip down we only had to pay a fee for our checked bag and not the carry on. On our return trip Frontier forced us to pay a fee for the carry on. Won't be using them again.

    A billion dollar company took 100 dollars from us because my kid got really sick and couldn't fly and has had issues ever since. We can't afford to fly, but I had to go to Florida and found a round trip ticket for 100 dollars, so I figured I would take my kid out of school for four days so he could get an experience that we couldn't afford to do. We got to the airport and he was just too sick to fly. He had to go to the hospital and they can't figure out what is wrong. (The problem still persists). They said at the gate most likely they would refund the money. My wife came and picked him up and I went on the flight because I had to get on the plane leaving my son behind.

    Terrible experience. It was a few weeks of excitement down to sadness. I wrote in and they said that they wouldn't refund the 100 dollars and told me I needed to find another flight within a certain period of time, but of course we can't afford any of the flights, so two days ago I asked them to return the money, but they never responded so instead of doing the decent thing they took the money. I still owe that money on my credit cards and I just keep paying interest on it because I can't pay my credit cards off. I just don't like big companies who don't do the decent things. Frontier is in my book just bad morally.

    Yes I was flying from Tampa back to STL. Got there early. The kiosk was work. Waited in line for 20 minutes while the employees yacked away to each other. After saying "Excuse me" 10x’s she said, “Can I help you?” I said. “Yes I need to check in.” Gave her my confirmation code she then turns around tells me I can’t make my flight. I’m 2 minutes late. I didn’t have any bags any carry-ons nothing with me just get through the check and that was all. So I called Frontier. The lady Maria was rude and told me if I wanted to make the next flight I would have to pay 441$.

    This was after my Monday flight had been changed. Paid a total of over 200$ for tickets to catch a flight from another airline. Told me it was non-refundable. Rude horrible service and now has costed me over $600 because I had to take a last minute flight. If you’re thinking about flying do not and repeat do not use Frontier. They will screw you over. Never again will I think about using them and will be calling the bank for a refund.

    I'm an avid traveler and I always come to the airport 3 to 4 hours early before flight departure. November 27, 2017, I could never forget this day how Frontier mislead over 13 passenger missed their flight due to change of gate without notification on our Frontier apps or email. My flight supposed to departs on 10:50 PM but I am already at Gate D17 since 4:30 PM with 3 children and one of the children has asthma problem. We needed to catch a flight that day since my daughter was out of her medication. When 10:30 comes I asked the Frontier Rep on gate D17 regarding the status of your flight since our flight leaving soon and she told us among other people that the gate has been change to gate D20. We were running to gate D20 and since there's a line I have to wait and only to find out that our flight already took off.

    I was dismayed and stress-out because all our check-in luggage already gone. No clothing and no extra money from our 5 days long vacation. The most stressful part, my daughter needed her asthma medication. As we complained the manager in charge that time threatened all of us to call security and dragged all of us out the airport. I begged her for the life of my daughter to let us catch the next flight to any of Florida destination. She told me have to pay for change flight and it would be over $300 per person. I was in tears because I only have less $400 left on my account. She then suggest to catch the next available flight until November 229, 2017. I begged her again to let us catch a flight to Miami instead (the last flight for the night).

    She said that it is better to purchase another ticket than changing our flight. So I just swallowed all the painful experience that night and willing to pay $99 per person. Later, she probably realized that announcing the gate change in D20 may not be clear if you are in gate D17 due to different factor such as noise etc. She then let us catch the flight to Miami for FREE. When we arrived to Miami the next day, we have to rent a car to drive to our final destination. My daughter had difficulty breathing and the stress I have gone through this whole experience is out the roof. I will never ever fly this airline again. When I got home my aunt told me that her co-worker experience the same issue and other people I know.

    Horrible experience!! Frontier Airlines totally screwed us!! We were at the airport in plenty of time to board, but because I did not log in to their app on my phone in time - I did it while in the baggage line and missed it by 8 minutes - they refused to print our boarding passes. 2 people in line in front of me checked their bags and were handed boarding passes. They were extremely rude too!

    When my daughter asked for a number to call to speak to a manager, they gave her a number for lost luggage. We were stranded at the airport in the middle of the night because I did not “check in” on time on an app on my phone?!?! We went back to our hotel and I bought 2 more tickets from another airline that cost me almost $1200.00 just to get home!!

Frontier didn't offer any compensation. Gate attendants are MIA and not providing any updates. And then told my son he is lying when he said customer service line said they would get vouchers at gate. Now he isn't landing until 3 am and he has to take a cab home for more than $100.

    I am not a big fan of writing a review but I have to do it for this one. I never heard of this airline before, and it make sense why, and reading most of the reviews, It is just a matter of time this Airline will go out of business soon. I have purchased tickets for my parents and they charged them $45 for the first luggage, and $50 for the second. Also, a carry on bag fee is the same as a regular luggage, which means even though the carry on bag is usually less than 10lbs, they still make me pay the same price as for 23lbs luggage. Basically this airline is running business as Money first NOT customers. Honestly, I will not be surprise if they start charging to use a restroom soon. So, this is my first and last experience with Frontier.

When I called Frontier Airlines to move up my departure date to the day prior they told me it would cost me over $900 in fees to make the change! I had only paid $550 for all 5 of my family members to fly round trip and I told the customer service person that such high fees was unfair and unnecessary since our flights were still many months away.

    If I could I would leave a zero star review. 1. My name was spelled wrong on the boarding pass which made so much confusion at the gate. 2. A display panel malfunction kept us sat on the plane for more than an hour and were offered nothing to ease the situation of no air and no drinks. 3. Sat for another 30 minutes in the lobby just to find out they were putting us back on the same broke plane. This is where it gets worse. I have a specific flight anxiety that makes it a stressful and a struggle to reboard the same plane that had a malfunction previously. I made numerous attempts to tell everyone on Frontier this problem and asked if I could catch another flight. Frontier staff were rude, argumentative and one woman was offended when I asked to change planes due to my situation. And to add to the lack of compassion, she stated "planes break and get fixed and break... everyday."

    Why would anyone tell that to someone with flight anxiety? So I was not accommodated and had to get on the plane to get home. It was sheer hell. And not once did an attendant come to ask about how I was doing even though I was clearly freaking out. How four airline attendants have no clue to handle a situation other than banging on a bathroom door and drawing attention from the whole plane to an already difficult situation is beyond reason. Frontier crew and staff and attendants have shown lack of empathy and distress training. Not to mention horrible planes, and piss poor customer service. Frontier is the worst airline ever. Save your money if you want a competent airline.

    My daughters and I were scheduled on a 10am flight that was delayed then finally cancelled 6 hours later. We were given a snack voucher, a sheet with the main number to call to get on another flight leaving SFO to PHL. I was told the only available flight was 2 days later! We were then given another sheet offering to accommodate our need to rebook another flight up to $400. Anything flight exceeding that amount was to be paid by me. The sheet also promised hotel/ground transportation & meal vouchers if you were unable to fly out the same day. None of the above options were honored. After 5 hours, 6 different phone agents, 5+ airport agents many of us got nothing more than the runaround. I went from being told my out of pocket expense after their $400/pp voucher would be anything from $700+ to over $1000 and over 16 hours to travel home the following morning.

    After spending 10 hours in SFO and over 4 hours on the phone, my girls and I walked away with no hotel accommodation/transportation voucher & now $100 Lyft fee at my expense and an additional $300+ dollars for air and baggage to FINALLY fly out the next morning. All in all Frontier failed to keep their word on so many levels and manager Kathy couldn't be bothered to as much as come out from behind office doors to address the accommodations they offered and DID NOT follow through on. Yet, only directed employees to relay the runaround to the rest of us calling every and any phone number given to us. Only to continuously be told that the airport staff was accountable for honoring room/food and ground transportation vouchers.

    In addition, Kathy insisted that SHE, was able to find flights out to Philadelphia later tonight for an additional $40-$50 pp. EXPLAIN to me how not 1 of the 6 different agents could find ANYTHING remotely similar/affordable/close to that via Frontier or any other airline? Their $200pp credit voucher doesn't compensate or cover for time lost, the added expense I incurred in additional airfare, transportation fees, room accommodations, additional baggage fees, parking fees, kennel fees and loss of wages. DO NOT offer or state you are willing to accommodate then fall short and lack the customer service skills/training to address your customers.

    This trip is for me to have spent 2 days with my daughters and grandsons in OKC one of which is turning 2 on Sunday and as a result of how late I am getting into OKC will miss his birthday party at the park they have planned and I leave OKC to come back to Phoenix on the 6th, so instead of getting the whole 2 days with my family I will only be getting maybe 8 hours.

    I made reservations for four people from Indianapolis to Orlando on July 8th. We flew into Atlanta for a transfer. The next plane was delayed for 14 hours. We ended up at our resort suite in Orland at 5:30 am. (5 hours before checkout) Frontier sent us a voucher for $200 each to be booked within 90 days. I booked the flights the day before they expired using the voucher numbers given us. On my next Discover bill, I get a charge for $809.75. I call them and asked why I have the charge. They said I did not use the vouchers. I said I certainly did. I did not get any message saying that the vouchers were not good when I entered them in the appropriate spot. They said it was unfortunate that the vouchers didn't register, but there is nothing they could do.

    I said, "You know I ordered the tickets before the vouchers expired, (they agreed) you have the voucher numbers, (they said they did) Why were they not applied? If your website did not take the vouchers numbers when I entered them, why was I not notified at that time?" Their reply was they were 'sorry'. I asked to talk to their supervisor. After waiting for 22 minutes, I talked to another person and was told the same thing. After much frustration and telling them how this was my first time flying with them and nothing about this whole experience was good. I told them since they would not honor the vouchers on the new reservations, I wanted to cancel them. (These reservations were for a flight 8 months in the future) They told me there would be a $99 cancellation fee.

    I absolutely could not believe it! Never in my life have I ever dealt with a company with such a horrible business practice. This company obviously cuts monetary corners wherever they can to provide cheap airfares. The few dollars saved are not worth dealing with a company that operates with such unscrupulous business practices.

This airline should be absolutely utterly ashamed by their blatant disregard and complete non-care and consideration at all for their jobs, and customer base.

    In the middle of booking a flight, which was extremely more expensive compared to other flights with nearby dates, I was booted off of the corporate's website. My credit card information was already entered and submitted. After logging back in to re-track where I left off, the flight prices increased, double, for just those particular dates! Frontier customer service was contacted via phone, in which I spoke with Jesse, an outsourced CSR, who did not show any sympathy, acknowledgment of my name, or even try to look into the problem. She made up a story of how all the flights were booked for that particular fare amount. She reminded me of the fisherman from the State Farm commercial, as she insulted my intelligence by saying, "You gotta be quicker than that; someone got to those seats faster than you."

    The call had to be escalated to get some amount of decent customer service; nevertheless, my original fare amount was not honored, but Max, a supervisor, worked with me. Prior to being transferred to Max, I was on hold for 20 minutes, and then told that I was unable to know the supervisor's name of whom I was being connected with. At this point, Jesse then asks for my name; you've got to be kidding me? My ten year old can do a better job at being professional than this simpleton. Due to the flight being so short notice, I am forced to fly with Frontier, but I will never, ever book travel with this company again. I travel frequently, and I thought I would consider Frontier due to their low prices, but I guess you get what you pay for. The negative stars are primarily for Jesse, also known as simpleton, and the corporate website. Jesse is horrible at her job and the website has major defaults.

    This was my first trip with this airlines. Flew from SF to Denver. Kept getting notifications throughout the day through email that the flight was delayed, time of flight delay improved a few minutes, flight delayed again. What was the point of this stupidity when you ultimately cannot plan your day properly and what happens if you do not have the opportunity to keep checking your email and the constant changes in flight times? I purchased my tickets on Expedia and noticed that my frequent traveler number was not noted on the ticket. I emailed Frontier and they did answer the email stating that they fixed the problem and the new boarding pass will have the number on it. It did not! I had to go through TSA in the airport for this mistake. With all the notifications, the departing time was essentially more than 2 hours the original time.

    Boarding procedures - inefficient. Seat - very small and does not recline. My bf who is 6 feet tall had his knees banging into the seat and had to keep his legs in the aisle. Seat table - can only fit a phone, u/a to work with a laptop; overhead bin - none for the last 2-3 rows. Bathroom in one aircraft - I could not even squat down or fit comfortably and I am petite! Bathrooms were filthy and not stocked. I had to search for the toilet paper rolls. No in-flight entertainment. All you get is your loud mouth flight attendants. So unrefined really. Listening to their loud chit chat and stories about their private lives is not one you would like to relax to on your evening flights. They charge for everything including carry on luggage. Luggage fees change when you purchase the ticket, when you pay with check-in and when you pay at the airport.

    Seats are the same - have to prepay or get one randomly assigned. On the way back, the flight was delayed more than 3 hours on top of the 2 hour wait at the airport. Everyone around me (mostly businessmen) have said that their whole day has been wasted waiting around in the airport. Even if I checked in online, I decided to line up and talk to an agent regarding my TSA number not showing in my boarding pass but it showed in my BF's pass. Useless customer service agents. They cannot problem solve. She gave me wrong information and did not fix the problem. A lot of them seem this way. Again I had to line up and go through TSA even if I have paid for this service. People were trying to rest on the plane and the flight attendants at the back were so loud! The worst experience on a 2 hour flight ever! Never again. It does not come out cheaper at all.

I paid for his flight, extra legroom, and his carry on bag, which is an "official carry on bag". But when he was at the airport the person at the desk told him he must pay for his carry on because they felt it may be heavy. To get on the plane he had to pay $45 (which is even a higher fee than I already paid because it's at the airport) for the carry on bag that I already paid for. Why is he be charged twice, is it because there is a hurricane and you can gouge people? Or is because he is a kid on his own for the first time? Or is it because he is **? Either way it's wrong!

This from the company that used to bake us cookies. Their service is now outsourced - always a terrible experience. No amount of cute animals on the tail makes up for the changes they've made. They put profits above people in some critical areas. At least they now have pre-check.

    Our checked bags were searched through and items stolen and clothes damaged. Airline only offered a $50 travel voucher saying that, "You have to file a report within 24 hours" and we didn't notice the missing item until 24 hours later when we went looking for it. They would not consider the fact that they have staff in their Atlanta Georgia location stealing from passenger bags.

    This was the worst most frustrating experience I have ever had with an airline and I fly multiple times per year. It was my first and last experience with this disaster of an airline. Their customer service is outsourced to no doubt save money, but when the person on the other end cannot functionally communicate with an American it ends up even worse. I spent more money getting home after a cancelled flight than the cost of the stupid flight to start with and no one cares because they ARE TERRIBLE. I talked to 5 different foreign customer service agents, none of whom gave one flip about what happened to us. So if you have a choice, pay the extra money and fly a real airline.

    We pre-paid for selected seats and a suitcase when we purchased the tickets for 4 people. We arrived 50 minutes before the flight. Cameras and an officer on-call are both witnesses! The day before we tried checking in but Frontier website kept kicking the check in option with an error. Upon arrival to the kiosk, the woman didn't even greet us or asked for a name, she just pointed at the suitcase and said "You taking that?" Shocked of her agenda and attitude I replied with "Yes, hello, we are here to check in." Her immediate reply was "You ain't getting on the flight." I was shocked and asked "Why." Her reply was "You didn't check online." Since when you are denied boarding passes since you didn't check in online?!?

    We begged her to print the boarding passes but nothing helped. They were overbooked and the upper kiosk told her not to allow us up... My son and I burst in tears, looking at the time running against us and missing the flight to a family reunion that flew into Chicago to see us, after years apart, from another state. The officer that was on site came to us when he noticed us crying and distressed and told us aside "I am so sorry, but never book with this company. I get a ton of complaints as this about them." He then said he will help us find other flight tickets... Unbelievable! We ended up leaving the airport as tickets prices were inflated due to trying to book last minute. We were devastated being denied for boarding passes, not being offered the money back due to over booking and losing $$ for the hotel reservations and most of all, missing the family get together, my only cousin and her new born, that flew in just to meet us!!

    This company is a crook and should be out of business. The clerk representing them should not be hired by any airline. It is a disgrace. Absolutely disgusting the way she approached us with her prepared agenda. We called Frontier and the answer we got from a rep by the name "Cloe" was: "We can sell you other tickets at last minute price"... Crooks!

    Never ever again will I or my friends and family ever take this airline. They sent us emails about changing the departure time 4 times, all of them being later and later, the latest being take off at 9 am instead of the original 7:25 am. A group of 6 of my friends and I were on our way back from vacation and we decided to get to the airport early when we received a final email saying that the flight departure time was back to its original 7:25 am at 6:30 am. We only had an hour to get through baggage claim, security, and get to our terminal on time. One of my friends got stopped by TSA for further inspection and ended up getting to the terminal just after the doors to the cabin closed. The plane was still at the gate and she texted us saying that she was there and we talked to flight attendants to tell them about the situation and that our friend was right outside.

    The attendant in the terminal was extremely rude to my friend that had gotten left behind and the attendant that I spoke to gave me an attitude about it. I was about to get my stuff and stay with my friend, but they wouldn't let me and we ended up leaving her in Orlando until she got a flight back. On top of that, this airline didn't even give her compensation for what happened and she had to buy a whole new plane ticket on a different airline just to get home.

It was nightmare buddy. Then on the way back home they charge me & my wife for bags. So ended pay extra $135 ($45 each). So on their website they are announcing lower charge that is scam. You will pay that back in different way. Where other airline charge you $25 for bags with much better service for traveler been.

Told them our connecting flight has already left so even when we land in Orlando there would be no more flights that day to get us back to Charlotte.

    They put us on American Airlines and they were just awesome. But American Airlines charged us also for bags and Frontier stated our bag policy. There is no refunds. So paid for bags twice, lost seat selection refund also, as Frontier stated no refunds for seat selection or bags. Lesson learned pay less, get less and a headache.

Even then when I started to buy it I noted that carry on bag is 30 dollars each way and the seats cost money and so by the time it all added up it is no cheaper than a regular Southwest fare. Once I read all the write ups about Frontier, I am never going to fly an airline such as that. Not so much because of all the hassles. Because of safety.

We purchased tickets via Orbitz and flew to Seattle on different airline, very good experience (drink, snack, movie, comfortable seats). We tried to check In online within 24 hours of departure and found Frontier's website to be terrible. I had seat assignments when I purchased tickets, but they did not show when checking in, only seats that showed I had to purchase. We then could not get seats to save so had to check in at airport. Showed up early to check in, but they use contract labor that only show up 2 hours before flight and it was a mad rush to stand in long line with all other travelers.

    Then we had to pay $45/bag for checked luggage and they also charge $45/bag for carry on luggage if you want to use overhead compartments, otherwise it has to be put under seat. Speaking of seats, they felt like a piece of plastic with vinyl over it and minimal foam padding. Rough 4.5 hour flight to say the least. I tried to switch this return flight, but same day was just too expensive. I would not recommend Frontier Airlines.

    I booked a flight for my husband and I from Austin to Chicago back in June for October travel date. I got an email earlier this week stating that my reservation has changed which will get us in later than we would like to. I read many bad reviews on Frontier so my expectation was super low when I called customer service. I did have to wait for about 20 minutes before getting a "live" person. I spoke with Sam and explained to her the situation and that we need to get in to Chicago as originally planned for an event. She asked if we could leave a day early and I told her no. That is not possible. I did have to proactively ask if there is a chance they can cancel my reservation and provide a full refund and to my surprise she said yes. That is not a problem.

    She said I should receive an email in 24-48 hours confirming the cancellation and should see refund in 7-10 business days. And on top of that, she said they will provide my husband and I each a $50 travel vouchers for our inconvenience! Mind you I was very skeptical, even after hanging up with her. But what do you know, I got the email confirmation right after we hung out that it's been cancelled, and I saw the refund in my bank account the next day. Very pleasantly surprised. I have not seen the second email regarding the vouchers yet but I'm ok if I don't get any. I just wanted my money back and them not charging any extra weird cancellation fees. I'm a happy customer.

They spent a lot of time shrugging shoulders at people and feeding them airport food. What made it worse is everyone on the plane knew it was something other than the air conditioning - they lied.

The man on the phone from Frontier told me that as long as I had a doctor's note, he will put our flights on hold and we will be able to just reschedule once we fax my doctor's note in.

    We go to the doctor, turns out I had a really bad kidney infection and my doctor had told me to hold off flying for at least 24 hours as the medicine she prescribed made me a little nauseous. We get home and faxed the doctor's note into Frontier only to call them and have them tell us that there will not be any way that we can reschedule the flight and that we had to pay a fee of $50.00. The supervisor that we talked to gave us both vouchers and was very VERY quick to hang up the phone. We are going to the airport today to hopefully knock some sense into these people.

The other flight attendant rammed my elbow spilling coffee (purchase at ORD - I repeat - NOTHING is complimentary) over me. When everyone was seated, I approached rude, bossy pants and explained why I was so offended. After that, she tripped over herself trying to be nice.

    So then my mom (on her umpteenth call to Rose in lost baggage) asks if she will be charged to carry on the bag that she now has to purchase for her return flight. She is told "well, if you check the bag, possibly not." Check her new bag? CHECK THE BAG!? Are you joking? We still don't even know where her current bag is! You know, the one with my mom's nice clothes and shoes, Clinique makeup, Apple iPad, prescription medication and gifts for her granddaughters in it. The one that NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT IS!

    What really gets me is, there is absolutely ZERO compassion or apologies. Just a dismissive "our apologies for your inconvenience. Our apologies for your inconvenience." Yeah? Well then DO something! Start making some reimbursements, stop giving excuses and OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKE! There is no reason why they should not know where this bag is. Shouldn't every bag be scanned at exit and entry for flights? They should know where it is! I am so done with Frontier.

    Our last two flights had similarly B.S. experiences with our PAID FOR seats "disappearing" because they switched the flight "for our convenience" and the row our seats were in magically disappeared. Went to check in 24 hours before and had no seats! Then our flight was massively delayed on the return trip. No notification. Is Frontier even aware that they are in the business of CUSTOMER SERVICE because they SUCK at it! I'll pay more to fly another airline from now on.

    On January 5, 2017 purchased three tickets round-trip tickets from Kansas City to Orlando Florida. Left flights were straight flights leaving on June 1 at 6:00 pm arriving in Florida at around 9:55 PM, on flight 1608. So yesterday when I asked my husband to go on the website and try to check in like I have done always on other airlines, he told me something didn't look right so I said, "Something doesn't look right." It shows that we don't arrive there till 2 June.

    I assumed that my husband had made an error. I told him don't worry about it. As soon as I get home which was at 8:45 last night I called JustFly.com which is the way I have purchased my airlines, I told him that I wanted to check in and I was double checking on my itinerary. He proceed to let me know that Frontier has actually changed itinerary months ago. As you can imagine I was very very upset. My son actually plays for his school band. I was going to be performing at Universal Studios on Friday. Thursday Friday June 2 at or around nine in the morning. When you advise me that my itinerary was now leaving Kansas City at 2:05 arriving in Denver at 2:15 I'm leaving the next morning at 12:15 AM I was so upset. He told me that not only has my outbound ticket had changed but my return had changes well. Remember I had bought straight flight tickets.

    My son had left on the charter bus and my youngest son. My husband and I have you made plans to not only watch my oldest son perform with his school but take the youngest boy and make it a little mini vacation. The attendant for justfly.com told me that he was contacting Frontier and to please hold. I waited about 20 to 25 minutes before he came back to the phone with some gentleman by the name of Jim that was a representative for Frontier Airlines.

    I was so excited when he got on the phone thinking that everything was going to be taken care of. But after he got on the phone he told me there was nothing that could be done and the airlines had emailed me and had let me know of all the changes. I said this was an untrue statement. I have never received an email telling me that my itinerary has changed. Why would I have waited to the last minute to check in if I was crunched for time. My husband and I both work and this was the time that I needed to fly due to our work schedules. We had planned and scheduled those many months ago.

    Then I proceeded to ask him to speak to a manager on duty. I was very upset. He said he would get someone for me. I waited over an hour before this gentleman came back to the phone only adding to my anger. No manager ever came back to the phone. The only one that came back to the phone was the same gentleman Jim. Only to tell me that the managers were busy and we're unable to come to the phone. It felt like I had gotten another slap on the face. I asked them to issue me a full refund immediately. That took him another 20 minutes for him to do so.

    At that point he asked me for an email so he could send me my refund information. Sold. I asked him, "I thought you guys told me that you had sent me an email in the past advising me of my itinerary change then is going." He said, "Yes we did not have an email on file. I apologize." This only got me even more angry and upset, but I did not want to let my son down. I was going to go watch his brother perform and be our little mini family vacation that will be the only vacation that we could take this summer.

    So while waiting for him to issue me a refund I ended up going to the Southwest Airlines and purchasing tickets for us to fly out today and spent over $2200 for us to attend my son's performance. Disappointment, upset and really has made me sick to my stomach. I will be calling corporate office today at some point. I am hoping that this company is not as bad as everybody says. If not I'll try to pursue this to court. What they have done is wrong in every single level. We are hard-working family then unfortunately does not go on many vacations. This was a well planned vacation since January 2017. I have not gone in debt with my credit cards so I don't disappoint my youngest son. I will update as soon as I get a hold of corporate.

    I had booked and paid for a flight from Denver to Miami departing on Sunday May 28 at 11:59 pm, arriving in Miami Monday May 29 at 5:47 am. When I printed my confirmation receipt, I noticed that the departing time had been moved ahead by 3 minutes to 12:02 am. I arrived at the airport 3 hours before the flight. I tried to print my boarding pass at the airport kiosk and it directed me to the counter instead. The agent at the counter informed me that I had missed the flight since it had left on Sunday the 28 of May at 12:02 am instead of Sunday May 28 at 11:59 pm. This trick made the flight a very early flight by 23 hours and 7 minutes instead of a late night flight.

    The agent informed me that it was a non-refundable ticket and that the only thing she could do for me was put me on a standby flight and charge and extra $99 rebooking fee for each ticket. After raising a stink at the counter, they waived the rebooking fee and put me on standby, for a flight that I had booked and paid for a month before. I eventually was able to board the flight and given two seats in the front section where they have their prime seats. There were 4 empty seats in addition to mine when we took off. This is a horrible airline and try to use every trickster their disposal to take your money and not deliver what they offer. I am sure that there are many unsuspecting customers out there in which this trick has been applied.

So I had to spend another night in Denver.

    I got to the airport two hours early like I should only to find out they had not only changed gates on me without any notification but was also delayed an hour. We were supposed to depart at 3:49 now instead of 2:40. We did not even pull away from the gate until after 4:40! No one contacted me about my bags after two weeks of waiting. I finally called corporate office. Had to file yet ANOTHER CLAIM!! It's been two weeks since doing that. They keep saying they have never received my claim. And when they do It will take 30 days after that while they continue looking for my bags. I am a single mother of two.

    My family of 4 booked round trip tickets to Orlando, for this week. I found out last Monday that I have a medical issue that prevents me from traveling at this time and will require surgery. I did submit a detailed letter from my physician. I cannot sit, nor stand for longer than 15 minutes, without being in excruciating pain. My doctors have no way of knowing if I will be medically cleared to travel in 90 days. I simply requested a refund or 4 new tickets. Both requests were denied.

    It was hard enough telling our children that we were going to be unable to go to Universal Studios. It is simply ridiculous that we can't come to some sort of compromise! I do hope that if any member of this airline is ever faced with a similar situation as mine, that they will be shown more compassion than they have shown my family! This is not the way to treat your customers!

He tells me that they may resolve the issue soon. I said that I would get back on that plane if you paid me. Twice they lied and said that the issue was fixed, I'M out!!

Then it was two more hours they finally got a different plane. We did not land in Minneapolis until 3 am, we were suppose to be there the night before. Then, we check the bank account and they charged over 170$ in hidden bag fees. Who charges $45 for a carry on?!! They did not notify us about this and it is advertised at a different price. They sent us a measly 100$ voucher for "next time" but how is that any savings when you pay through the nose for bags and have to pay for a carry on.

    Plus, we were beyond exhausted and had to still drive 2 hours home and running on 30 hours with no sleep. Seats were so uncomfortable. You couldn't even attempt to relax on the plane. Not happy. There will not be a next time. I plan to write as many negative reviews I can.

    NEVER FLY FRONTIER Again! This is such a "Scam" and "VERY well-plan RIPPING OFF" system of the FRONTIER Airline! In my 20 years of flying with various airlines in the US, I HAVE NEVER experienced any kind of "ripped off" and "abusive" treatment like this. FIRST, NONE of the computer self check-in Kiosk worked and that forced me to go wait in a long check-in line (where 30-40 people are waiting in line at all time) to get to see the agent. THE WORSE part was that by the time I got to the counter, the agent said that I did not have time to make to the gate AND that I had to PAY $99 to REBOOK the next flight.

    NEXT, once I asked to speak with the MANAGER to understand why I have to pay for the rebooking fees when the computer self check-in kiosk did not allow me to check in. She stated that passengers have to check in 2 hrs before the flight. She did not answer my question and was not willing to help. I explain that when the self check in did not work, the passengers are forced to go stand in line to see the agent which DELAY the process even more. THEN, when I tried to let her see it was not my fault that I had to waste my time waiting in line till I did not enough time to get to the gate and that I should not have to pay for the rebooking, she acted like "Who cares!" "If you want to go, so PAY!". I was very disappointed about her response. I then inquired her name and "SHE" immediately turned her name tag backwards. SHE said her name is W... And cannot give out her last name!!!

    THEN, when I continue to make comments that the self check-in computer kiosk are suppose to help people not to miss the flight and that is unfair to the passengers to have to pay for rebooking fees because of this, and that I believe some passengers who are now in the line might have to miss their flights, she THEN started to threatening me stating that if I do not stop talking to her, she has a right to NOT ALLOW me to fly with her airline!!! WOW! I was very SHOCKED by her statement!!! That's such an extreme abusive treatment I have never received from any service before!!!

    Since I had about 3 hrs before boarding the next flight ("that I had already pay $99 extra for"), I decided to stay next to the ticket counter to observe ("with my researcher mind") to see how THE AGENTS of THIS airline SERVICE or TREAT their customers. And SURE enough there are number of passengers behind me who experienced this same situation. I witnessed a couple, who needed to fly to Chicago, checked in 45 min before their flight, but was told that they would not make it to the gate and that they have to PAY $400 to rebook their next flight tomorrow. They sadly told me that they had already paid for a car rental and a hotel in Chicago.

    THIS is such a SCAM! JUST because the passengers TRIED to use expedite check in at the self check-in kiosk BUT IT DID not work and that forced them to have to stay in a very long line to check in with the agent. Once they got to the agent, they were told, "You DO NOT have enough time" to board the flight, "WE NEED TO BOOK you to the next flight" and you have to PAY the fees! This is such a "VERY well-plan SCAM" system of the FRONTIER Airline! NEVER FLY FRONTIER Again!

    I am writing to warn others of my experience. Do not fly Frontier. After a mechanical failure and 4 hour flight turning into 13 hours, I received a $400 voucher. I redeemed my voucher for a flight from Miami to San Diego. My connecting flight was late, and although I still had time to make my flight, nobody communicated to me that my departure gate had changed. I had a online boarding pass with 1 gate number, another updated boarding pass with another, and when I arrived in Denver, I was not informed that the gate had changed once again.

    The flight attendant said something about not having the paperwork for the flight which left five other passengers and myself scrambling to make their connecting flights. I went to the wrong gate and there was no gate attendant there and finally figured out that the gate was not correct. I made it to the correct gate before the doors' scheduled closing but of course no one was there to help me and three passengers and I missed the flight. I phoned Frontier's customer service and they did not have any comment and told me to talk directly to the airport agents.

    I paid for a non-stop flight from Denver to Orlando, then Frontier changed it to a stop in Cincinnati - offering nothing in return and only grief if I did not accept their terms/conditions for the change. Adding insult to this injury, they did not load my bag on the airplane in Denver and the bag did not arrive in Orlando with my flight. Another dozen or so bags were also absent. After conferring with these similar mistreated passengers, we discovered that we had all checked our bags very early (2-3 hours before departure). These bags were apparently just placed aside and forgotten about, and never loaded on the airplane departing Denver. From this experience, I have learned that on Frontier, no good deed goes unpunished.

    So, I am sitting here in the Palm Beach International Airport on a Wednesday night for a 540pm flight to Denver. I arrived at 415p. The first delay was 917p... Now it is 1116 pm. Mind you, they don't tell you why it is delayed. Finally I called customer service, it's a mechanical problem. They hold you hostage as if the flight is really going to happen, and might leave earlier than scheduled... It isn't! If the flight is cancelled the next one isn't until Saturday at 540p. I need to be in Denver for a meeting tomorrow morning. Something told me it to take this cut-rate airline that nickel and dimes you for a piece of toilet paper! The customer service rep wasn't US based and could only tell me the time, that I had already received via text message. The flight gets later and later. I could have gone home and had a good nap! I've already been waiting 4 hours at this point. Lessons learned, don't take Frontier, the savings isn't worth it!

    This airline is the worst airline EVER! I got to the Dallas International airport to check in for my flight to Denver, Colorado and the ticketing lady here named Trina told me that I couldn't check in for my flight because Frontier airlines had overbooked the flight (that I had paid for a week ago) and that the only way I could get on the flight was to pay an EXTRA $45 for a seat. My co-worker was traveling with me bought her ticket a day after I did and she checked in one person before me and got on the flight. Yup, you read that right. They were making ME pay for a seat in a flight that I had already paid for a week in advanced AND that THEY overbooked. I have an 18 month old daughter with cerebral palsy and special needs that was admitted into the emergency room just 2 hours before the flight that I had to get home to, plus a newborn.

    The ticketing lady Trina then proceeded to tell me that I had to call reservations to see if they could get me on this flight. I spoke to like 4 different people on the phone till I got to a supervisor who then told me that they couldn't refund my money they could only give me a 90 day credit to fly again on their horrible airline or that they would be sooo generous as to waive the $99 fee that is charged to get me on another flight 24 hours later!!! They told me they wanted to talk to Trina about what she had told me. She then denied that she had said such a thing. Thank God my co-worker was standing right next to me and heard the whole thing. My co-worker is now on the flight home while I am stuck in Dallas with no hotel and my baby girl in the ER. This is the worst airline experience I have EVER had. I will never ever fly this airline ever again. Save yourself the frustration and your money. DO NOT FLY FRONTIER!!!

    I've flown round trip from Indianapolis to Orlando on Frontier 3 times now - twice by myself and once with my family of 4. As long as you read the website in advance and understand what they do and do not charge for, it is fine. I flew my whole family of 4 and checked 2 bags in advance and flew for less than $500 round trip for spring break. Weigh your bags to make sure they don't go over the limit. Read the website to understand the difference between a carry-on and a personal item. Measure the dimension of your bags if you are not sure what counts.

    We used backpacks as our personal items and had no problems. You can gate check your car seat for free. You can bring your own snacks if you don't want to pay for theirs. Buy a drink after you go through security if you don't want to pay for theirs. All of my flights have taken off on time, and arrive on time or even early. The planes I've been on are very new. Seats are narrow and stiff but good enough for a short flight. Good airline if you are looking for a cheap flight, not a luxury flight.

    We arrived to the airport on time for our early morning flight and then proceeded to slowly make our way through the crowd along with a large group of other people trying to get on their flight. After 40 minutes of waiting in line, we FINALLY made it to the check-in desk 36 minutes before our flight and were told they could no longer check us in and their system would not allow them to do so. Needless to say, they only had 3 people working despite a large volume of people in line, while numerous check-in stations stood empty because they are either understaffed or are too cheap to have appropriate staff on hand to check-in customers.

    Due to their lack of customer service and value in those served, the much anticipated trip to NY for my daughter that she has been dreaming about for years is delayed another day because they only had one flight available each day and they refused to check us in. I know it's a lie the system no longer allows you to check us in. Why? Because when I called to rebook the flight, the representative on the phone told us the attendant could check us in and get us on the flight, and to ask if she would be willing to since there was a long delay in getting through the line.

    The attendant then took my phone and began berating the customer service rep for telling me to request we be checked in and permitted on the flight. Guess what! She refused help or been, and did not want to be bothered. I even explained that we were dropped off and didn't have a ride to go anywhere else. I got a shrug of the shoulders and dismissed by the attendant stating, "I am very busy."

    This a great scam Frontier has going because others in line were also denied access to their non-refundable flight due to Frontier's incompetence. They also charged a hefty fee to rebook the next day (I am sure this is half or more of their earnings). Never mind my daughter missed her college tour, or that the already short trip is now an entire day shorter, or even the fact that if the company was properly staffed we would have been checked in with time to spare.

    The money I thought I saved flying this crappy airline is now lost in extra fees to change the flight and having to purchase a new ticket for the shuttle once we make it to NY. Oh, don't waste your time purchasing the flight insurance, because it does nothing to help in such a situation. It would have been worth it to pay a little more upfront to fly an airline that cares about the customers and know how to staff so people are not missing flights because of their incompetence.

    I will never fly this airline again. They are cheaters and liars. They do not care about maintaining their customer base because let's face it there is always another desperate sucker around the corner that will unwisely take a chance on this crappy airline. I recommend that if you're reading this review, do not consider using this airline and pay a little more for a reputable airline that cares about its customers. I promise it will be well worth it in the end. Frontier is not worth the spit in my mouth.

    You get what you pay for. We took this airline because of how affordable it was but quickly found out why it's cheap. To start out... to check bags it's $40 per bag. All purchases on board are strictly credit/debit & the selection sucks, so bring snacks. If you don't care about quality then this is the airline for you. Walking through the plane, we seen no difference between first class & economy. The flight attendants seemed short with the passengers as well. Our flight going back to NY was delayed 3 hours & the airline offered nothing for the delay. We felt like we were sitting in cushioned lawn chairs on both flights. Also no WiFi, I hope you don't mind the caveman experience. Trust me, suck it up & spend the extra money on a known airline because this airline was truly horrible.

    THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST AIRLINE! Corporate was absolutely NO HELP!!! For starters, we arrived at 3:30 pm to check in our bags - flight boarding started at 4:15 pm. Our bag was 2 lbs overweight, so we were told to either pay $75 or take a few things out of our bag. We got it to be exactly 50 lbs & were then told WE WERE TOO LATE!? They claim their systems shut down & there was nothing they could do. We asked if they could put our bags on the next flight to Ohio so we could catch the plane as we both had to work the next day, our 4 year old daughter was expecting us home & coming from Vegas, we didn't have any money left to pay the rebooking fee. They stated we couldn't be separated from our bags & the only option would be to pay the rebooking fee & book the next flight. THE FLIGHT WASN'T UNTIL 5:25 pm THE NEXT DAY!

    SO we both missed work, had to get permission to use a company card to pay for the rebooking fee, another night in a hotel & another taxi cab & had to crush our daughters heart telling her we wouldn't be making it home when expected. To top it all off, the lady at the front desk (HAVEN) stated we could check in our bags 24 hours before our flight so we stayed at the airport to check in our luggage just to be told from another associate that it was too early to check in our bags & we would need to wait until at least 9 am. >:( They had changed shifts so conveniently, Haven was no longer available for us to confirm that she told us we could check in our bags early.

    When calling Corporate, they wanted a statement from the workers that gave us the false information to give us any compensation. I explained that the workers we were conversing with were no longer there & they offered us a $25 voucher since they had "no proof" that these things occurred! We requested to speak with a supervisor at the airport & no one was available. I AM BEYOND LIVID.

    I had booked a round trip from Philly to Tampa, Thursday - Saturday. I had a big commitment Sunday and absolutely had to return on Saturday. Frontier Airlines emailed 2 weeks after my trip was booked to change my departure time from Philly by 15 minutes. Now earlier than originally booked, my return flight was not impacted. 4 days later, I received a second notification about the 15 minute change, still not impacting my return flight. 4 days after my second notification, a third notification was then emailed, again informing me of the 15 minute departure change, no mention of a return flight change.

    19 days after the third notification i received a "Trip Confirmation" email. Luckily, I noticed my return flight had been changed from Saturday to Sunday. There was no previous notification of the change to my return flight. Surprisingly, I was informed multiple times about a 15 minute departure change, but I guess changing my return flight by an entire day isn't as significant of a change to my trip, as being at Philly airport 15 minutes sooner than originally planned.

    This change completely destroyed my trip plans, as I previously stated, I had a pretty big commitment that I could not miss planned for Sunday.

    Here is where it gets fun... I contacted Frontier Airlines customer service using their 801-401-9000 number listed on the website. Told them of the situation, and that I wanted a refund. According to the first cust. service rep I spoke to, being that I had booked through Expedia, I didn't have a "round trip", I had 2 one-way tickets. Frontier due to the 24 hour change on the return flight to Philadelphia, would refund that ticket. They then directed me to Expedia, around the terms of departing flight from Phil - Tampa. Which I did, confused as to how they could help, Expedia being just as confused as I was, directed me BACK to Frontier.

    The second cust. service rep I spoke with, informed me that the first encounter I had with Frontier that day, Rep 1 noted on my account that I was advised that my departing ticket would be "forfeited" no refund, nothing. False, I never complied to forfeit, I even advised the first representative not to cancel my departure ticket, as I was going to continue to research the refund process before consenting to a "forfeit". The Rep 2 then repeated I wasn't eligible for a refund, since it had been more than 24 hours since booking the trip.

    Frustrated, I asked for a supervisor. That transfer from Rep 2, to supervisor is where I met Lester. I advised Lester of the situation, that I had read the terms & agreements, if there is a scheduling change made by Frontier, fees can be waived, I have to cancel the trip as a return on Sunday is impossible, Rep 1 had me contact Expedia, I had done that, Expedia sent me back to Frontier, so here we are, how do I get my refund for my departing flight?

    Per Lester: I missed my 24 hour post booking cancellation window. Cancellation fee would be $99, but since my ticket was a little less than that, probably best to just not show up. After repeating over and over to the point where I was driving myself insane that Frontier's changes made my trip impossible to take, why would I depart Philly with no return plan? I was scolded that the change was "only 15 minutes ma'am..." by the 3rd person, for the 10th time today. Missing the point, that the problem is not the 15 minute change in my departing flight, it's the fact that without any notification at all, my return flight was changed an ENTIRE DAY that LUCKILY I noticed hidden in my "Trip Confirmation" email sent 40 days after booking.

    Lester then questioned if I had read the terms and conditions... changes to schedule under 3 hours do not qualify for a refund. This whole ordeal being "not a round trip", but two one-way tickets, the departing change doesn't qualify. This is absurd. After receiving a lot of attitude, and no progress, I asked Lester if there was someone else I could speak to, could I talk to the supervisors of the supervisors... whatever, anyone! His Response: "You can hang up and call this number back".

    I was completely shocked at this response and just immediately just yelled "EXCUSE ME?! So I'll hang up, call this number back, get nowhere with an agent again, ask to speak to a supervisor, end up with you again, so you can just repeat the same absurd reasoning why your company's ridiculous business practice will not refund the cost of my trip, that you made impossible for me to take". His Response: "Yes". I snapped - informed this customer service supervisor that like this situation, his customer service skills are absurd and completely inexcusable.

    I googled headquarters at this point, if trip conditions were different, I wouldn't have cared so much to see this through, but the company's changes caused the cancellation, so as a customer who has flown Frontier without issue half a dozen times, I should be compensated. After finding an additional number online, based out of Colorado (area code 720) I spent 10 minutes with one of their employees (a Very Helpful Luke). Gave him the run down on what my morning consisted of, he asked a few questions to make sure he was looking up the right person, the right itinerary etc, was silent for a moment and then came back with "alright we just credited your account the cost of your departure flight". Frontier Customer Service at the 801 number is absurd, thankfully they seem to be doing business right in Colorado.

    I booked a last minute trip to Las Vegas through Cheaptickets. The price seemed too good to be true... and it was. Frontier charged $40 to check a bag, and it would have been $45 for a carry-on. Since there were two of us in my party, it was an extra $80 each way, $160 total. Had we known this ahead of time, we would have packed accordingly and checked only one large suitcase rather than having each of us take a small carry-on bag to reduce the fees. This was not a pleasant surprise to receive at the airport. We were on a budget, and losing $160 for nothing meant that we had to see one fewer show in Vegas than we'd planned on. It was upsetting.

    That wasn't the end of it, though. The airline doesn't provide any free beverages, even on a 4-hour flight. They didn't even offer free water! (And although I didn't drink, the person sitting next to me did. They charged extra for his mixer! The alcohol was one price, and the Coke to mix it with was an added fee!) As I said before, we were on a severe budget, so we weren't about to pay exorbitant prices for a can of soda. Needless to say, we were very thirsty by the time we arrived.

    Additionally, the seats on the plane were horrible. Airplane seats are never very comfy, but these were the worst I have ever encountered by far. They were hard plastic with a layer of "cushion" that was maybe 1/2" thick. They were far more terrible than airline seats usually are. My boyfriend was in a bad car accident years ago and he's always a little uncomfortable when flying, but it has never been so bad that his old back injury flares up for more than a few hours after the flight.

    However, these seats were so bad that he could barely walk after a 4-hour flight. His back gave him trouble for the first 2 days of our 4-day vacation, which put quite a damper on things. Then, his back was messed up again when we got home, so he had to miss a day of work. (His job requires some lifting, which he can usually handle without a problem, but not after flying in those crappy seats.) His boss thought he was just playing hooky and trying to extend his vacation, when in reality he couldn't do the job because the airline seats did a number on his back.

    Overall, our experience was terrible and we will NEVER fly Frontier again. We've also learned that we have to do our research before booking a flight on an airline we've never flown before. We've never heard of anything this horrible, so we didn't realize how important it is. My hope is that this review will save other people's vacations. I wish someone had told me how awful Frontier is so that I could have avoided all of these problems and had a better trip.

    Booked a trip to San Diego from Denver 90 days in advance. Entire ticket cost $149. Opted not to purchase travel insurance (the works) as this "coverage" was $59 each way (almost the cost of my entire ticket). I needed to change my flight and this was going to cost $99 for the date change, $70 in additional taxes and fees, plus $50 in difference in airfare. So, 72 days in advance, my $149 ticket would now be $368.

    Instead of rescheduling, I decided to cancel and recover the last $49. Well, I was wrong. Frontier has a hidden policy that airfare credit must be used within 90 days, so that $49 could only be recovered if I booked another flight. Funny thing is, even if I wanted to reschedule for October, their flights aren't out that far in advance, so my entire ticket is lost. When I called, the customer service rep said, "Sorry you didn't read the policy in advance." Nice customer service. Will NEVER fly again and credit card has been canceled. Policies are sneaky, not clearly articulated, and only "appear" when you try to make a change.

    This was my first time flying with Frontier and the first time I had ever done the online check in. I purchased a seat so my two sons and I we could sit together. Then I checked my bags and then website asked if you have a carry-on. Well we each had a carry on so I purchased three carry-ons at I believe $30 a piece. Well when we got to the gate to board the plane the agent said each passenger could have one personal item and the carry-on would be stored in the overhead compartment. So I said to the agent that I thought we had carry-ons and had paid for them and she said no. Backpack are personal items which are free. I asked her what I could do to get it refunded. She said I would have to call Frontier, so she gave me the number and I asked if she could give us some kind of confirmation or proof that I had personal items she said there was nothing she could do.

    I called Frontier the next day and was informed that I needed confirmation/proof. Oh really! You see where this is going. So on the return flight I didn't purchase carry-ons because now I know they are called personal items. When I got home I called Frontier again and explained all of this. After five minutes of waiting for agent to check with his support staff I was informed that baggage fees are nonrefundable. Well I was told previously I had to have proof, I had the proof now in that I didn't purchase the carry on's on the return flight. This is no more than a deceptive money grab by calling a carry-on and a personal item to different things. It is an attempted to confuse consumers who don't fly regularly to pay additional baggage fees. Needless to say I will not be flying Frontier ever again, but at least I learned the difference between a carry-on and a personal item. I hope this helps others to not fall victim to their deception.

    I booked my reservation online and had no issues. The seats were awful, very uncomfortable but the service was excellent. My only not so happy was the bag prices. Yes Frontier has low airline fees but the bag checking makes up for it. I could have flown Southwest and got free bag checks and paid the same price I paid Frontier for the flight and bag checks, so buyer beware, and their bag fees are different depending on the time of the year you are traveling. Proceed with caution. I would consider Frontier again because of the ease of travel but will pay more attention to the pricing with and without the bag check costs. Seats are ok for two hour flights and under but a four hour plus flight would have killed my back.

    When we booked my wife's seating on the plane it was in the front row to allow her to be transferred directly from her personal wheelchair onto the front row aisle seat that required minimum effort. The armrests on the front row seats do not fold back like the rest of the seats on the plane to allow her to slide over to the center or window seat. But there is room on the front row seats to allow the center and window seat passengers to pass by her to access the aisle. All the other seats on the plane there is no room for passengers to access the aisle from these two seat locations.

    The flight attendants use a special aisle chair to access the rest of the seating on the plane. They make her sit in the window seat and slide her to that location so she cannot move from that location during the flight and the passengers from the center and aisle seat location can access the aisle. Our reservations were for the front row seats that would have made it easy for her and the flight crew to manage. Instead of seating her in our assigned seats. The attendants forced her to use the aisle chair several seats back and tried to lift her and slide her over to the window seat at that location.

    I was aware of this problem when I booked the flight and didn't expect the attendants to change this causing delays when boarding and possible injury to my wife when moving her to a window seat. When I tried to explain this to the flight attendant he ignored me and said it was against and FAA regulations for her to have the front row aisle seat. The original location for her seat on the plane (the front row aisle seat) would have saved boarding time, prevented possible injury to my wife who suffers from M.S. And made it easier for the flight attendants to accommodate her.

The return trip was a nightmare. On the first segment of my flight home I began to feel very unwell, and knew that my legs would not work well enough to get me to my connecting flight, so approximately one hour before we landed, I asked a flight attendant if it would be possible to request a wheelchair escort. She said, "No problem."

    A wheelchair was available upon landing, and the flight attendant wheeled me past my gate, as my connecting flight had already departed. She told me she was taking me to the customer service kiosk, wheeled me near the desk, and left me there, saying she would return. She never did. When I got to the desk, I explained that I had an oncology appointment the next day, and needed some help getting a seat on the next flight. The person at the desk told me the next available flights were at seven the next morning, and the flight after that was at 17:30 the next evening. I tried to assimilate this new information, and figure out my next step, but quickly recognized that I was cognitively impaired. I have lesions on the frontal lobe of my brain that interfere with executive function, but I did not want to explain this in a public setting. I was upset and worried that I would start crying.

    I was having a very difficult time making my needs known, and the more trouble I had, the more upset I got, and I began crying. I was humiliated to be crying in public, but emotional inability (crying and laughing - but, believe me, I wasn't laughing) is one of MS's many symptoms. There were many unhappy customers gathering around the desk because of missed connections due to snow delays, and I was embarrassed at the amount of time I was taking, so I asked to see her supervisor, hoping the supervisor could take me to a private setting and help me with my next step.

    The woman I made the request of disappeared into an office behind her, and shortly thereafter I heard a "Hah!" which I can only describe as a snort of derision. A woman came out, had a very displeased expression on her face, crossed her arms, and asked me what the problem was. (Later in our conversation, I told her that I heard her laugh at me, and she responded, quite unbelievably, "You don't know who I was laughing at.") Her demeanor was cold and defensive, and I knew I was within my rights to be asking for assistance, but she made me feel as if she was dealing with a overly demanding customer, and didn't even try to hide the fact that she was very annoyed with me. She uncrossed her arms, rattled off my options, but all I could comprehend was that I had four options because she ticked off each option with her fingers, and she was holding out four fingers.

    When I tried to explain again that I needed help with the details, she again rattled off my options. I told her I needed to get to my oncologist in Seattle and she asked me, with a condescending tone of voice, if I wanted her to put me on a plane ahead of the other sixty people. All of this was taking place at the desk with all eyes on us. I asked her what I could do, and a customer who was at the desk objected to her treatment of me, and started shouting his displeasure at Frontier, and told me I should find a different airline. She said, "I don't have to take this," and returned to the office she just came out of, slamming the door. I was stunned, and frightened, and humiliated.

    After several minutes, she returned with a large man I assumed was security, and told me I could never fly Frontier again. I was stunned. I could see that she was perceiving me as a security threat. ME! A CRYING, INARTICULATE, WEAK, OBVIOUSLY ILL, MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN IN A WHEELCHAIR! She said I was "screaming" at her. I was upset and crying, but did not scream, raise my voice, nor use abusive speech, and now I was having to defend myself against her accusation. She either lacked the skills or chose not to use her training to deescalate the situation. She did not listen very well, frequently interrupted me and repeated statements that obviously did not help me. Her manner was cold, defensive, and she was visibly annoyed and displeased.

    I was in shock that so many clear violations of the ACAA (Air Carrier Access Act) were occurring, but I could not get my brain to engage. All I could say was, "You can't do this." Her cavalier response shocked me even more. "Go ahead and go to the press. I don't care." I never said I was going to the press. It was if we were having two different conversations. I asked her name, and she quickly flipped her name tag over, so I couldn't see it, and said, "Brooke." I asked for her last name, and she replied that she didn't have to tell me.

    It was clear that "Brooke" was not going to help me. She didn't inform me that I could enlist the aid of a Complaint Resolution Officer. I tried to wheel myself away, as I was beyond humiliated and needed some privacy. I sat in a nearby, empty gate waiting area, and, after awhile, I was relieved to see a Frontier employee approach me. I literally could not think, problem-solve or strategize. My brain was too inflamed. My relief was short-lived, however. The employee told me he needed the wheelchair. I told him I needed his help to transfer me out of the wheelchair and into a fixed chair in the waiting room. He transferred me to a seat, took the wheelchair and left me there, unable to walk without assistance.

    I was traumatized and humiliated by the public shame of being treated like an annoyance and security threat, by being loudly told by Brooke that I would "never fly Frontier again." The experience was hugely stressful, and stress physically exacerbates MS symptoms. I was put in harm's way by being left, not only unattended, but without a wheelchair. Thankfully, some strangers and fellow travelers assisted me. I requested an apology from the airline staffer named Brooke. Her hostile manner, unclear instructions, lack of compassion, and how she chose to respond to my request for accommodations due to my multiple disabilities caused me deep suffering. She never apologized. No one from Frontier did. I attest this account to be true to the best of my recall.

    So where do I start... After the past 8 hrs and finally beginning to get over the utter disappointment of what should've been a joyous reunion between myself and my boyfriend after 4 months of being apart. I thought it would be a great idea to take a quick trip away, and being that it would be a 4-day trip, I didn't want to pay too much. I always try to find deals where I can but little did I know, this would cost me so much more in the way of time I took from work, the money I spent for other arrangements and my sanity, I feel like this experience has left me drained both physically and emotionally.

    The 1st issue arose shortly after booking my flight. Once my ticket was purchased my next hurdle was my luggage. In having a discussion with a colleague of mine who had intimate knowledge of Frontier as she had flown with them before, she explained to me their policy on luggage and having to pay extra (I knew the gimmick of "low fares done right" was too good to be true). I then researched this myself at their website, and discovered this was in fact the case so I went ahead in checking my bag both to and from for my trip (I would like to point out that by this time, had I used a reputable airline it would now be the same price). I checked in the night before online, which again was yet another fee to choose a seat, ripoff! So I naturally declined seeing that with the inclusion of all these fees I had now paid, I could've flown any other airline and not have to worry about dishing out any additional funds once my ticket had been paid for.

    It is now the travel day, my flights were on a Friday and a Tuesday midday. I didn't want to inconvenience my family by having anyone take me or pick me from the airport, so I decided to drive and shuttle to the airport. Although I thought I made decent time, I did not account for having to wait for the shuttle, which then turned around to go back to pick up another passenger. Nonetheless, made it in time (or so I thought). My flight departs at 11:50am. I get into the line for bag check-in at 11:15am. I get to the counter. It's now about 11:20ish.

    The entire time I am standing in the line extremely nervous because as I am moving closer and closer in this line that seemed to take forever, there is a sign posted on the checkout counter that says passengers must be checked in at least 45 minutes prior to departure. Check in closed after 45 minutes (something along those line, you get the point). I stay in the line because as a paying customer who has never flown with this airline before, and as another human being who understands that things happen you would expect "customer service" to play in here. Negative!

    Instead it became a battle between the gentleman at the counter and myself. Now I can admit I definitely lost my cool but he became quite rude. His "as a matter of fact" attitude only added fuel to my fire and his lack of empathy only made me more upset. He just didn't care, and to be honest that was pretty much how I felt with every encounter with the individuals that worked there. After STANDING for two hours waiting and several discussions with other employees regarding the whereabouts of the elusive manager (which never showed up btw) I finally received an email address and a customer service phone number (which I already had prior to). But I got it. They were unwilling or unable to assist me.

    In discussing further with these individuals, they are actually contracted by Frontier and do not directly work for the company. This then made sense as to their nonchalant attitude and lack of customer service skills. They are not liable or held responsible for their actions nor do they have the ability to truly assist. So basically if you really needed to catch a flight in that situation you would have cough up the rebooking fee and either go to another airport (like one couple had to do) or come back the next day like they offered me.

    I think it's safe to say these poor business practices will eventually lead to the downfall of this airline. I can only hope that no one else is swindled by their false advertisement of cheap prices and their fine print policies that will cost "you" the consumer. I will never use Frontier again! I was given a credit for my flight because I refused to pay $99 to rebook a flight they said I failed to show for (a lie), and it's hard to willingly subject myself to their foolishness again.

    Flight itself was smooth. Pros: smooth take offs, landings, and air travel. Low prices, often can find discounts. Made for smaller people, less leg rooms. Seats are comfortable. Seemed very clean. Friendly attendants. Text alerts when flights are delayed. Cons: morning flights often delayed 1-2 hours (but get there early regardless; if they say 2 hrs and end up being earlier they will not alert you. We got there 30 mins before the new departure time; if walked through the door even a minute later we would have missed our flight).

    I was traveling with my father who is severally physically disabled. There was no wheelchair prepared for us (I basically just found one and sat him in it) and then when it came to board, no one assisted us. The gate checker called groups randomly, as I raced to get to the door, pushing my father in a wheelchair frantically. She then stood there with a blank look on her face. I asked her why she didn't call for people with disabilities and kept repeating that I didn't tell her that I needed help. Is this not information on the ticket, and in the computer? Do you not call out first for people with small children and disabilities? This girl was almost borderline brain dead, and for the sake of my father, I did not start yelling which is what I wanted to do.

    The staff on board merely did their jobs, very basic service. They charge you for every little thing, including walking on board with a bag and getting a beverage.

    We found a Frontier Airline special for round trip tickets to West Palm Beach Florida from Chicago for $79 round trip. We booked a family trip, and then I started reading reviews about Frontier and I was scared. On the other hand, this also made me very prepared for the trip. Here are my suggestions to avoid problems. Get to the airport early. We arrived (large family of 7) 2 hours early. I'm glad we did because I read that if you get there too late, you won't be able to board.

    Pack light. We had a 3 night-4 day trip and easily fit everything we needed in one personal bag that fit under our seats. This included each kid with their iPads or phones, a bottle of water and snack. Which leads me to my next suggestion. Bring Food and Drink. We emptied our water bottles out before the security check, and filled them back up before we got on the plane. Snacks? Each kid had a couple granola bars, fruit and other snacks in their backpacks. You can buy food on the plane, it's not crazy expensive.

    Keep it short. Our flight was under 3 hours, and that was enough time to sit in slightly uncomfortable seats. The biggest problem we had was that one of our flights was at night, and the kids were trying to sleep. It's almost impossible to sleep while sitting straight up. I wouldn't recommend Frontier for international travel for that reason. Smile. If you go into anything with a crappy attitude, that's what you will get in return. Everyone we encountered through Frontier was friendly enough.

Received no notice from anyone or on my phone but was told by a worker that the flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours. Sat in the gate area for another 3 hours and slowly throughout that time the flight delay increased, there were no announcements, nothing. Everyone was just expected to know. The attendant was changing various reservations for connecting flights.

    Eventually it was so late that my own connection was affected. When I tried to adjust my reservation, they informed me that when I get to Denver, I would be responsible for any overnight stays, etc. and they could get me on a plane for 9:30 the next day to SLC as this was caused by weather issues. I have checked the weather for the location the plane was coming from and there were no weather issues at that time of the day. They were not understanding in any way with myself or others.

    I recently decided to take a short ski trip to CO; something I hadn't done in 22 years. I purchased lift tickets in advance for the first vacation for myself in 10 years. I decided to fly as economically as possible. Knowing now what I didn't know then I would have gladly paid $300 for a different airline. I shouldn't say that I never got a chance to truly review Frontier. Like so many other passengers I too had the misfortune of dealing with Linda. I hope the owners of Frontier absorb that last line without glossing over it. You have a single employee in KC that has a personal consumer rating that comes at the cost to your bottom line. The hardest customer to get is the one you already lost.

    Details? I will be brief and give it the same short and cold touch Linda provided me on Jan. 31st, 2017. I checked-in in advance and did everything that Frontier and MCI requests of responsible passengers these days. Less than 20 yards away was an adjacent airport lounge. I watch my funds, so my personally imposed 2 drink maximum was easy to maintain. 2 drinks, total, in an hour. For the record I think it is necessary to add that I am over 6' tall and weigh 225. There was another 30 minutes to wait for boarding which flew by, I was excited.

    Encountering Linda at Boarding seemed uncomfortable immediately. Rudely told my bag wouldn't fit under the seat and I must pay an additional fee, $40? I placed my bag in the "test" area to see if it in fact met the dimensions required. It did. Linda said nothing, took my boarding pass and rudely waved me on. Literally within 2 minutes I was asked by an employee to come back to check in, that it was determined I "might" be intoxicated and wouldn't be allowed to depart.

    There waiting smugly was Linda. She ignored my questions and without even looking over her shoulder said I should meet her back at check-in. No matter my valid points, it was clear Linda held the cards and said if I wanted to fly the next night for an additional $325 I was welcome to pay now. I will wrap up with this observation. Unless Frontier Airline is a Not-for-profit company, you won't make the long haul with an employee like Linda. She should realize people are flying to destinations that are important to them, your former customers. Thank you.

    I am writing to voice my extreme disappointment with Frontier Airlines and its check-in policies, along with its overall service. Not only did I waste money for a better seat (supposedly more room) on my first flight because there was limited room to place carry-on luggage (which I had to pay for, suggesting that perhaps I would at least have the appropriate space to reach my luggage if need be) and personal items, but I have never experienced such an unwillingness to accommodate a passenger who is only minutes late to checking in at the airport.

    Due to the completely unreliable app that Frontier has put forward, which rendered me unable to check-in to my flight early, I was alerted that I could not board my plane despite only arriving 40 minutes before my scheduled departure. As someone who travels to Las Vegas often and works for a company that entails frequent travel, I understand slight inconveniences in traveling. But I’ve never received such a combination of poor customer service, terrible policy-making, and inconsideration of.

    I do intend on reviewing Frontier with this information on as many sites as possible (TripAdvisor, Google, etc.) because I do not believe companies like this deserve to continue to put forward egregiously bad service and still make a profit. If Frontier truly wants to live by its motto, Low Fares Done Right, then it should put some serious thought into its hiring practices, check-in policies, and technology implementation. Do not fall for "Low Fares Done Right". Extremely misleading.

    It's extremely rare that I feel the need to review something; I'm a very even keel personality and a frequent flier, but this one really rocked the boat. On December 22, 2016, my boyfriend and I were flying from Fort Lauderdale to Cincinnati. The morning of our flight, I was able to check-in with their app and flight status said on-time. We arrived at the airport 1.5 hours before departure. When we got to the terminal, we weren't sure that we were in the right place because, even though the signs outside said Frontier, there were no Frontier screens behind any of the check-in desks. There were, however, 3 signs conspicuously turned off. We wander that way, passing the departures board that say our flight is cancelled (WHAT? - online it was still listed as on-time). At the vacant desks, we met about 15 confused and stranded passengers, also looking for Frontier desks... personnel... overhead announcement... anything.

    I fly a lot, ** happens, but the lack of/false communication is what irked me. I start looking around for staff to talk about re-booking options. There are none! One of the fellow passengers had already been on hold with customer service for 45 minutes. My boyfriend stayed with her, along with a mother + son who had been re-booked twice already, because of Frontier's last minute cancellations. Hearing this, I headed over to Southwest to wait in their line, because they had a flight later that night, 2 hours from our intended destination.

    45 minutes before our supposed departure (it's difficult not to point out that such behavior from a passenger would lead to him/her not being able to board, but I digress), a Frontier staff member emerges with some security guards (!) and gives us, well those few who were still remaining, a form that explained our 3 options: get re-booked on a Frontier flight sometime in the future (their next flight was Christmas Day, NOPE!), get a refund + $200 travel voucher, get reimbursed up to $600 for travel on a competitor + $200 travel voucher. Thankfully, I was already standing in the very long Southwest line, when my boyfriend quite literally runs over with the info. So we chose option 3. Let's just say that a flight 3 days before Christmas, 1 hour before take-off is not cheap! I live overseas, hadn't seen my family in 15 months, and it was Christmas, so on the credit card it went.

    I filed our reimbursement form on Dec 24th, via email as per their instructions. I received first acknowledgement that they received it on Jan. 13th. It is now Feb. 1 and I still don't have my money back. They were very clear that it could take 90 days for processing, but I think that's ridiculous... And is that 90 days from Christmas Eve or 90 days from Jan. 13, I wonder? And oh yea, my mother was still intending to pick us up at 2am, because the information on the Frontier website was still wrong. It said we had a 4 hour delay. It's a 90 minute ride in the airport, so thankfully we had touched down and I was able to call her in time (especially since we ended up in Indianapolis, instead of Cincinnati).

    Needless to say, this was my first and my last experience with Frontier. When I told my story over Christmas meal, I was one-upped by a family friend (and her family of 5) who ended up driving from Colorado to Cincinnati over 2 days because of Frontier's shenanigans. Kudos to Southwest though. Everything was on-time, our checked bags arrived with us, and the gate agent even let me call my mom from her personal phone, because my Dutch one couldn't pick up a signal. They're my go-to US airline, silly me for attempting to try something new.

    Frontier is by far the worst airline and among the worst companies that I ever dealt with. I purchased a ticket from Miami to NY lured by their low prices, which after all their fees turned out to be the same as the reputable airlines. That aside, upon my arrival to the airport on my return flight, they announced the flight was cancelled. The only solution was to book me on the next available flight ONE WEEK later (Christmas day). I ended up having to buy a new same-day, one-way ticket with another airline for $540 so I can get back on time, since they don't contract with other airlines to remediate customers when flights are cancelled. Upon my request, the Frontier ticket agent offered me a refund for the entire cost of the Frontier flight and the $40 bag check.

    A month later I called customer service because they only refunded partial cost of the flight ($74). They refused to honor the refund, even though I have a refund receipt. When asked to speak to a manager, she was equally rude and when asked to speak to her manager, she left me hanging on the phone without speaking or ending the call. PLEASE don't be fooled by their marketing schemes and go for the reputable airline instead. This turned out to be a very expensive flight because of their poor business practices and disregard for their customers. They should not conduct business.

I pushed her hand from my stomach and she begin reaching with her opposite hand to hit me, I grabbed her arms and restrained her from hitting me while yelling for help because I felt her and her husband was attempting to kidnap me considering I was alone (5ft 120lbs) and she refused me to leave physically and verbally.

    The attendant never came to see what happened or to separate us. I was stuck scared for my life in a little corner where the lady continued to refuse me to leave for approximately 20 mins until the police came. Once the police came I ran to safety without any sympathy or reassurance from any worker on that airplane. I was afraid for my life and no one helped. If you are okay with spending your money with a company that do not value their customers' safety then fly Frontier! If you want to make it to your destination comfortable and safe I advise you spend a few extra dollars and fly with a company that care about the safety of their customers!

    Our experience flying with Frontier was horrible! They messed our bags up coming back on a return flight. It took us over a half hour to find someone to help us file a claim for our lost baggage. Miami we had to stand in line over 100 people to check our bags. Only one worker with Frontier and they were rude when we got up there. Called customer service today for a refund for luggage and a girl that says she normally doesn't even work in that department said they were not responsible! I am upset and will tell others NEVER to fly Frontier! Cheap flights but not worth it! HORRIBLE customer service!

    My experience with Frontier has been by far the worst experience. I'm not familiar with Vegas airport. I arrived to check in for my flight an hour early, 5 am, only to find out I had to take a shuttle over to Frontier. There were no signs pointing out their location so by the time I figured it out I had 30 min to get to the door. The lady at the desk wouldn't even listen to me. She said "It's too late. Door closed." Absolutely not. I had to pay a extra 375.00 to re-book a flight for my daughter and I. Next flight left at 6 pm arrival to SLC 10:50 pm. Flight was delayed. Didn't get home till 1 am. Do you think they paid for their delay? Customer service horrible, very disrespectful. Instead of trying to diffuse the situation and show sympathy she was rude. I'll never use this airline again!!

    This is by far the worst airline I have ever experience and I have flown many cheap airlines like Air Asia. I tried to change my flight to the next day and they charged me an extra $300. Not only did they direct me to an online website in which I had to pay more money to change the flight but my full round trip flights that were scheduled were erased and I could not get back to Denver. They basically accused me of messing up myself, offered zero service, help or customer service, and then left us stranded at the airport with no care. I will never fly Frontier again as they offer not only the worst customer service of any airline but any company I have ever dealt with. This is the epitome of a terrible experience.

    My Husband and I departed Denver Colorado on January 21, 2017 around 12:30 am. Our flight was originally suppose to take off at 11:55 am but was delayed about 1/2 hour (not a big deal). When we boarded the flight, I found the flight attendants very rude. You can tell they don't like to answer any questions a passenger may have. I asked one of them something simple like "is this flight booked" and she just looked at me like I was stupid or had 3 heads! Shortly into the flight there was a tremendous amount of turbulence. Again, very normal for a flight. It continued throughout the flight. And the trip from Colorado to Orlando is not a short plane ride. So for someone who already is apprehensive when it comes to flying, all the turbulence did not make it easy. You can hear everyone talking and how scared they were.

    On the flight going to Colorado from OIA, whenever the pilot was experiencing some turbulence and it continued, he would come onto the speaker and explain what was going on. Again, something absolutely necessary when you're transporting almost 180 passengers. Sometimes that's all the passengers need to hear to be made calm. However the pilot that was returning us to OIA did not do that at all. Matter of fact, he never came on the speakers at all. Neither did the flight attendants for the duration of the flight until the very end To announce there was turbulence. Um... by that time it was very obvious. There was at least 3 passengers who hit the button for the attendants' attention because they needed help. They were getting so sick & when she came she said there's nothing she can do & she wasn't even supposed to be up. There was one lady who had a panic/asthma attack, and a couple other passengers who were throwing up.

    It would have been nice to have the pilot come on and let us know what was happening. At one time, Red cabin lights came on and was extremely alarming because nobody knew what it meant. There was one lady (poor thing) that called for one of the flight attendants and asked for some water because she was sick and they told her no because it was not an emergency. But about 1/2 hour into take-off, that same flight attendant who told the lady "NO" they getting some water, promised a 21 year old and was joking and telling her if she answered a flight "test" questions right, she will give her a free alcoholic beverage since she just turned 21. That flight attendant did not even cover the area towards the back where this girl was sitting with beverages but made a special trip to bring this 21 year old a drink & couldn't even take care of the sick passenger when she asked for water?? That is not ok.

    She went out of her way for one passengers but for the passenger who really needed assistance she did not. It would have really calmed my nerves had the pilot spoken to his passengers on the intercom or at least if one of the flight attendants would have said why the airplane felt like we were in the world most craziest roller coaster. No reason in the world nobody could not have done that. Pilots should be seasoned for this kind of communication. I will never fly Frontier because I can never chance being on board one of their flights again and have the same repeat disaster. It was one of the scariest times in my life!

    Pay for each bag, carry on is $45. I scammed them on the return trip and did not pay for my carry on! Awful uncomfortable seats, feels like you're suffocating in there. Dying of thirst, be prepared to pay $3.99 for a tiny cup of generic water they pour out of a bottle. I'd walk on my tongue through the desert before buying water from them. The whole experience was awful. I could have flown SouthWest for way less after all Frontier's scamming fees. Save yourself the hassle and book with a reputable airline! Never will I fly Frontier again. The plane also felt so unsafe!

    I have flown many times, this being the first time with Frontier. I went on a short trip to Tampa from Chicago for a business meeting and for my grandfather's 75th birthday. On this weekend trip the airlines lost my bag, gave me phone numbers to contact people that did not work, gave me three different emails to send my information, too, about how I would be reimbursed for the clothes that I had to buy for the weekend, and when I got my bag back after returning to Chicago my straps on my bag were all broken.

    It has been a week now since my trip and I have yet to get in touch with someone that is able to tell me any information on when I will be reimbursed. I had to charge this to my credit card which will soon begin to have late fees for not paying this off. Each time I call Chicago to get this resolved they tell me it's not their problem, it's Tampa. I call Tampa and they tell me since I flew from Chicago I need to contact Chicago. With being given three different emails I do not know who will get around to this. I have asked that they at least reply to the email and let me know when this will be resolved. Besides the flight, this has been a terrible experience for me and I would like to just get in touch with someone and get this resolved, which at this point seems impossible.
