    My family had a terrible first time experience, be mindful of you get what you pay for....Spend the extra money and fly another airline. Customer service is very rude from the time you get there and the time you get off, they were rude when I tried to call customer service for a complaint....We will never use this airline again.

    Frontier will nickel and dime you to death and their policies and customer service leave much to be desired. We had to cancel an upcoming trip due to circumstances beyond our control. Frontier charged us HALF the paid fare just to cancel, and then the rest is a credit that has to be used within 90 days! NO exceptions and no concern for the customer. Their response to everything is: "it is policy". Just disappointing that they are not more gracious and customer friendly. They charge for every little thing with no exceptions. Will no longer be using Frontier. I'd rather pay a little more for an airline who looks out for their customers.

    I signed up for their discount program 'Discount Den' for $59.99. It was worth it at the time to get better seats or early boarding. However, on hindsight, I will not fly Frontier Airlines or sign up for any programs. I received an email today that indicated I would be billed August 8th, to renew my account at $59.99 but it stated I could cancel at any time. I checked the website, googled it, and even called their own customer service but they couldn't tell me how to cancel it. I had to get the customer service account to cancel it over the phone. I gave him my account number and he needed additional information to cancel it. CS# ** 'Andy'. I deleted my stored credit card but when I went back to my account the information was still stored on the website. I asked the customer service rep to delete my CC information and he said he couldn't delete it.

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

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

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

    If you want to travel quadruple the amount of travel time and be constantly delayed with zero care for service this is your airline. It took our family 9 hours to get home when it should take 2. And the absolute worst part is how the staff have absolutely no care about their customers. What a disgrace this cheap, bottom dollar company is. I will never give this organization another dollar and will tell everyone I can how absolutely terrible they are. I’m going to log a review. Apparently I’m not the only one. The CEO should go online and see how his customers feel about his organization. Save your money and run! Fly Southwest!

    My niece's mother died and I bought tickets for her to attend the funeral in Iowa. The flight was at 5 am. My grandfather and niece waited until 6 am at the gate. No one showed up at the gate, there was no announcement, and NO notice on Frontier's app that the flight had been cancelled. Finding a real person to talk to was difficult. They didn't have any other flights, so they offered to cancel the flight and refund, or reschedule on another day. I had no other choice but to cancel and book another airline for double the cost, because the flight was last minute. Customer service agent's helpful response was, "It isn't my fault". They gave us $50 vouchers for an airline I will NEVER book with. If I had gone with a more expensive airline when I first booked the tickets I would have saved $500.

    I knew there were problems when I showed up to my gate at boarding time and the signs didn’t mention my destination and the flight ahead of us still hadn’t boarded yet. Frontier’s website as well as the flight boards indicated we were still leaving on time when the desk attendant assured us that our plane was 20 minutes behind schedule. Not 10 minutes later he gets on the intercom and says that plane isn’t coming anymore and now it’s going to be 5 hours until our next flight. I park a seat at the bar and start my wait while Frontier pushes our departure even further about every hour. Such is life, right?

    Well finally we’re able to board 7 hours later and we’re all on the plane. Finally headed to our destination. I pop my headphones in and watch an entire 30 minute Netflix show with the overhead bins still unlatched and open, no updates from the cockpit. Someone jumps on the intercom 5 minutes later to tell us we haven’t located a captain for our flight yet. We sit in the plane another 30 minutes just for them to tell us that the flight is cancelled and we need to go home. NEVER. I repeat. NEVER BOOK A FLIGHT WITH THIS TRASH COMPANY. On our way out the employees were more interested in feeling sorry for themselves having to deal with our logistics than trying to actually help. I will rent a car and drive across the country before I deal with this company again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    We booked flights out of TTN to ORD a month ahead of the departure date and paid $1200 for 4 tickets in addition to baggage fees. They are prompt in collecting all fees in advance, without any commitment to fly the passengers out. Due to weather conditions in ORD, we were told flight was delayed flying out of TTN. We stayed in the airport for 6 hours after which the flight was canceled. The only option that was provided to us was refund of flight fare back to the card I paid with. The next flight out of TTN or any airport +200 miles was 2 days later... I lost money with car rental in ORD as well, as it was a non-refundable rental car for the week.. Airline is prompt in charging the flight fares to the card immediately upon purchase of ticket, but to get their refund, I am asked to wait 5 to 7 business days. Why???

    Other friends of mine that had experienced similar flight cancellations were offered a free travel voucher for the hardship, in addition to the refund of the money. I was not offered anything at all... I understand the airline staff were working to clear the airport and chose the easy route out to refund the money back.. but the customer service can be better. They can understand the hardship of the passengers and have some heart to compensate and earn their trust back, but they are heartless as best as they can be to turn anyone off.

    I tried to fly Frontier Dallas to Philadelphia on Sunday June 7 2019 on the 11:26 pm flight but to no avail. After 5 text messages on delays, delays, delays they finally cancelled the flight at 1:11 AM on Monday morning. After sitting in the airport all night into the early morning Frontier cancelling the flight after Spirit and, and American Airline arrived from Philadelphia who departed nearly the same time as Frontier would have from PHL all arrived in Dallas. You certainly cannot blame the weather.

    We were offered re-booking on Frontiers next flight out of DFW, on TUESDAY. You of course would have to sleep 2 days in the airport because Frontier does not offer any compensation for hotel, rental car, food... NOTHING. We were told by the gate agent that you can get a refund in 5-7 business days, just go on Frontier website and fill out their forms. Just seems a little suspicious that 2 other airlines flying the same route did not encounter any "bad weather". I think that Frontier just has bad logistic planners or perhaps pilots that are just not skilled enough to fly in the rain.

    DO NOT FLY FRONTIER!!!! Would put 0 stars if I could! I bought a ticket from Frontier to fly to Denver from Nashville and then return tickets for myself and my elderly and disabled mother. My 2 1/2 hour direct flight from Nashville was scheduled to depart at 6AM on a Tuesday. I was at the airport by 4 that morning. While in the line through security I opened my email. I had an email (mixed in with the daily advertisement emails Frontier started sending me) that said...

    "Frontier Customer, We need to inform you that your upcoming Frontier flight has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience this has placed on your travel plans. We look forward to assisting you in re-accommodating your travel plans on our next available Frontier Airlines’ flight. Please see an airport customer service agent or contact our Frontier Reservations center at 801-401-9000 for assistance in re-booking your travel. Thanks for choosing Frontier. We apologize for the disruption to your travel and we look forward to seeing you on-board soon. This is a one-way message, any reply to this message will not be seen. If you have questions, please visit www.flyfrontier.com or contact Frontier Reservations at 801-401-9000."

    As you see there was no flight number included in the email. I looked up at the flight board and it said that my flight was still on time. So, I finished going through security and headed to my gate. There wasn't a flight attendant there. I went to the Frontier website and it still showed that my flight was on time. I assumed it must be something with the return flight and decided I would figure it out once I got to Denver. A handful of passengers arrived and we waited. When no employee showed up by 5 we started worrying. Only a few of us had received the vague email. None of us received a text update. All of us were looking at the website and flight board while trying to get customer service on the phone. Both still showed that the flight was on time until 5:20 when it changed as we were looking at it. One man exclaimed, "This is the 3rd time Frontier has done this to me!" Several people stormed off at that point.

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

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

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

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

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

    They were nice enough to book us a hotel for one night - not two nights. So, we checked in at 5AM and had to check out at 11AM! We had to pay for the extra night, food and transportation to the hotel ourselves!! After all was said and done, I called Frontier about my $500 travel voucher they promised and was told I no longer qualified because the receptionist booked my flight - not me! Looking back, she purposefully conned me into booking the flight herself so Frontier wouldn't have to give me any sort of travel voucher. I'm out over $400 from the extra day/night in Las Vegas.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    My little sister's flight from Nashville to Denver was cancelled today 6/18/19 due to rain (everyone else was still flying). Frontier basically said they would refund the flight in 5 to 7 business days and **. No help with a new flight, nothing. We've been planning this family reunion in Denver for months. A ticket the same day was now $600. Frontier is the generic, get what you pay for airline. No wonder they have to sell seats so cheap, they are cheap. And they will leave you stranded, smile and give you the middle finger.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Earlier this month I did a balance transfer online to take advantage of zero percent interest. This transfer was to go to my Comenity Capital Bank (ULTA) card. When I finalized the transfer it was showing Saks 5th Avenue. I triple checked the number and had to assume they were an affiliate. When I called a few days ago I was told to check with Saks since they could not do anything for me. I don't even have an account with Saks, so there was nothing they could do. I called back and then was told I could file a dispute, which I did.

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

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

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

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

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

    This was my first and last trip on your airline. From the headache of checking in forcing me to pay to pick my seat after an hour of checking in online. You lose my bag on a direct flight from Denver to Pittsburgh. They had us in our line for our flight and me and one other girl didn’t get our bag, every one that checked in before and after did. Then the lady in Pittsburgh tries to tell me she worked for you for years and you won’t pay to have it come on another flight. I will get it Thursday at best.

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

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

    Two other ladies ahead of me expressed their disappointment of the agent’s lack of care and demeanor. The two ladies clearly stood there and we all watched the ticketing agent act like she was working and ignoring the customers. When it was my turn, her tone was rude and condescending when I asked for a gate pass to pick up a minor from the gate. You would of thought I asked her to dig a hole and fetch water for me.

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

Frontier folks, if you hate dealing with people - you need to quit your job and go work underground where people don’t exist. Paola needs some soft people skills training along with her CO-worker that she is covering up for. The sad part is that a TSA agent commented to me “Frontier has the worst customer service!” The only way Frontier will change - if we the consumer take our business elsewhere.

After my return from giving myself insulin I was told I could not check my bag and most leave it behind or dont get on my flight. I have never experienced such discrimination.

Why would I want a credit to fly again with your uncredited airline? Everyone was clueless, disrespectful and not willing to make a customer happy. I will never fly with this airline.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    So, to summarize simply, I was at the gate to board 19 minutes early, there was no agent at the gate, the door/gate was locked, and the plane was pulling away. I missed my flight, forcing me to rent a one-way car for $381, having to beg to keep my return flight, and being blamed for not being there early enough and no one at Frontier thinks there is anything at all wrong with this. Just beware. This WILL happen to you if you are held up for any reason at all and Frontier actually seems to take pride in leaving early leaving their customers. They have absolutely and forever lost me as a customer. They will never make it! (And their so-called bargain prices? Read the fine print!! They nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING). Just beware!!! Read less. Date of travel: May 2019.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    From the people at the check in desk, customer service desk at the airport and the people answering the customer service phone are the worst. I don't have the words to describe the nightmare that we had to go through. To sum it up, we had a printed boarding pass to our connecting flight and SOMEHOW our itinerary was erased on their computer. They did not let us board our connecting flight and left us stranded.

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

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

    One lady faced a suspension from her job if she missed work the next day. I had important business that requires me to be home the next day. I paid $1000 for my wife and I to get on an American flight. After all that, Frontier essentially flipped everyone the bird as far as compensating the customers which I knew would happen. I am going to go write on a chalkboard 500 times. I WILL NEVER FLY FRONTIER AIRLINES AGAIN IN MY LIFE. Save yourself the aggravation. Don’t do it! I knew better, but I paid the price.

    The ticket prices look very attractive. However, the additional costs for baggage (which is included in the price of many other airlines' tickets) usually ends up costing more than the entire ticket cost with competing airlines. What's more, when I did arrange to bring three bags on my most recent visit and then realized I did not need that many, I called back within 24 hours to learn I could not cancel any of the bags I originally reserved. I will use Southwest rather than Frontier every chance I get in the future. Price transparency is an honorable approach to business...one which I care to reward.

    My flight was cancelled due to a snow storm. It took me an hour to actually get ahold of a human to speak to. Since the airline cancelled they were able to refund me but that’s it. Didn’t help me more than that. The representative I spoke with, you could barely understand him. No other flights were going out for days. Ridiculous. I understand that there was a snow storm going on and they needed to cancel their flight but my thought is... Where is the customer service?

    I had to make the representative stay on the line and send me the email confirmation of my refund. Terrible customer service. Hours of trying to talk to the insurance and airline leads to “you’re not at a loss because they refunded you.” I am. I wasted my time.

    This airline is the epitome of false advertising and hidden fees. They show up as the lowest fare until you go through the process to book. Then the highest additional fees of any airline kick in pushing the fare higher than competitors. Not to mention their "discount den" savings membership costs $60/yr and doesn't even lower the fare to what is advertised. Classic bait and switch. And if you're planning on getting on the plane with anything but the clothes on your back, you better be prepared to pay an additional $35 for a carry-on bag per flight. Literally showed up to be hundreds less than Delta for flight with connections. By the time it was all said and done Delta nonstop ended up being well over $100 cheaper per seat.

    Travel at your own risk! We paid the "extras" and checked our bag in on our way to Phoenix. Coming back we checked our back early and I asked the rep at the Phoenix airport if we were checking it in too early and he replied - "No. We do this all the time." Well we get to Colorado Springs and no bag! They took a report and told us they would contact us later that evening. After no contact, we contacted them the following day and was told that the bag never left Phoenix. We were then told that it would be in COS at 5:48 that day and we would be contacted when it arrived.

    So the next day still no contact and we called again and the same snotty little girl answered the phone and told us she was the supervisor. She put us on hold and came back with "the bag is no longer in Phoenix and I can't call Frontier at COS because they are not working today" (It was a Tuesday). We asked where it was and got the same reply. So we are on day 4 now and still no contact from Frontier.

    We called again and finally got someone with customer service skills. She tracked down the bag and got it to us that day. Now why did the bag go from Phoenix to Denver to Las Vegas and finally to Colorado Springs?? Everything in the bag was a mess with bottles leaking. We have always flown Frontier but no more. There is no savings when you add up all of the hidden costs and on top of that the poor customer service and communication. What did we get for all of our inconvenience and aggravation?

    I received an email telling me I had 0 miles earned. Six weeks earlier I had received an email telling me I had 68,560. I am diligent about buying an extra 1,000 miles every six months to keep my miles active. My next purchase wasn't due until May 27, 2019. I had a receipt for the last one made in November. I called Frontier and spent about an hour explaining I had made the purchase. Why had they just canceled all my miles and with no warning even though the agent said they always give a 90 day notice? They never have in all the years I've flown with them. Fortunately I had kept the email receipt for the November purchase with its confirmation number. I gave that to the agent. He said the airline would investigate the matter. What's to investigate. I had bought the miles and could prove it. He said it would take several days. He'd call me when a decision had been made.

    Four days later, he called all happy because my miles had been reinstated as if they had done me a big favor. They never should have been dropped in the first place. I said they should give me some credit for this undue hassle. He put me on hold another 15 minutes and then returned saying they would give me 2 more months before the next purchase was due, now July 27, 2019. I checked a week later. They had not extended my due date. It's only 2 months but it's the principle of the thing. I called again and was put on hold for 20 more minutes.

We are at the gate waiting, the gate gets changed, never announced, we just happened to check the board.

    This is the first online review I have ever written. It is not normally my style but my experience with Frontier Airlines was so bad I cannot contain myself. Briefly: they canceled our flight because of a problem with the plane after making us wait for five hours on a Friday night. We only found out because it was listed online. I had a business trip but about a hundred kids were anxiously waiting to get to Disneyland. Not one agent was at the desk and at about 11:30 I think it was a maintenance person that came up to finally agree with the online cancellation listing. Not one person was there to help reassign or assist anyone so people were stuck and unsure about how to get their luggage.

    I have called several times but the system is automated and the call eventually ends with a: "please call back later”. I received an email telling me they would refund my money and give me a $500 ticket voucher with them or $400 with another airline. Ok fine... However, they will not respond with my refund for ticket or any type of voucher. I have emailed them six times and now have realized I am being ignored intentionally. If their service is this bad I would imagine this cheap backwards airline cuts corners on plane maintenance as well. Please research carefully before flying with them.

It's window seating. I got a water and I carried some crackers in my purse with me because they only take credit cards or debit cards up in the air. They do not accept cash. The pilots were joking and friendly. I am usually terrified to fly but they put me at ease. I did not even have to say anything. Just go for it! Fly Frontier Airlines because they are caring and very prompt! Plane ride was smooth - hardly any turbulence and we were on time. Actually early. Do not let the bad review scare you away! Some people just expect too much from basic things!

    Flight attendants and overall service was excellent. The flights were comfortable, the cabin and seats looked very well maintained. There was leg room between the seats. The atmosphere, mostly created by the pilots, flight attendants, and ticket agents was very pleasant.

    Extremely tight seating. Was seated in the first row behind first class and as a “reward” my carry on (purse) was taken away and placed in an overhead 3 seats back. I was unable to access my personally provided snacks and as a result had a very low sugar level during the flight. The snacks provided by the airline were woefully inadequate. I was in a window seat and could not get out conveniently. In addition, there was a lot of turbulence meaning the seatbelt sign stayed on most of the time, further restricting any movement. The only seat I would ever ride on Frontier in the future would be outside on the wing. It would have to be better than the one I had.

    We booked tickets on Frontier for a vacation. We booked all our accommodation and most of our sight seeing attractions. All which cost money out of pocket (a portion to hold reservation). Today we get an email from Frontier that have changed our flight dates. We are now leaving later on our departure. And we are now returning a day earlier. Putting us out a day earlier on our family vacation and. We’ll have to pay a penalty on our accommodations and we will be out the money we spent on attraction we booked ahead of time. Thinking we had that day that we lost.

    What is the point booking a vacation and making plans of things to do. Putting down money to hold a spot if the air can just come in at the last minute and change everything. I don’t think this is way to run a business or treat your customers. It’s no wonder Frontier is a horrible company. This will be the last time I’ll book travel with them. If we all stop traveling with Frontier we can really make a difference.

    Frontier offers these great deals, not only on price but offering direct flights (and with young kids, a direct flight is the way to go). The issue though is once you book flights with Frontier they constantly have flight changes. So you book this great priced, direct flights only to be told a few weeks later that now your flight is leaving on a different day and that it is no longer a direct flight but that it now has multiple layovers. (So a direct flight of a few hours went to 10+ hours). To make these dramatic schedule changes is unacceptable and has caused a lot of undue stress (and financial stress). Be very cautious if you book with Frontier...

    I purchased tickets for a flight for my family (4). Five days later I receive an email from Frontier offering a promo of 75% off certain flights (of which ours was included). I contacted Frontier, which took an hour in itself, and even the supervisor was unwilling to help. I simply asked him to change the promo code on my reservation and he would not. If I canceled my existing reservation and booked a new one they would charge me over $450 in cancellation fees. Basically it boils down to Frontier Airlines punishing customers for purchasing early. They have the WORST customer service I have ever encountered. I will never be flying Frontier again. Neither will my family. I will continue to share my review with others.

    Sometimes they will text or email you if there's a delay and other times they won't tell you. They won't print you a boarding pass even if their online site isn't working at the time of attempted check in. Purchasing tickets online won't work most of the time. You have to call in but mention that it's not working and they will waive the $10 fee. They are huge sticklers about baggage size. They'll charge you after you're seated so there's less room to argue. Customer service is pretty terrible. They'll just ignore you and continue their job if you ask them questions they don't know. Relatively unprofessional.

    First of all, we live in Denver their hub. Our first flight Denver to Las Vegas was scheduled at 7 pm on a Sunday February 16th. The website sped delayed by 30 minutes. We checked in a suddenly the flight was not delayed, great expect if you had counter in that in timing your arrival, which we did. Flight back from Las Vegas to Denver Wednesday night 7:30. Left for the airport at 4:30, on the way there received an email marked as Do NOT REPLY stating "Sorry your trip do not go as planned.” Imagine your shock. There was no notice of delay or cancellation, just a $150 voucher.

    I went on the website (because we could it get though by phone) and saw that our flight was marked CANCELLED. No reason, our friend was with us and had booked Southwest, his flight left on time. Tried to rebook, nothung for 2 days. No help from Frontier accept to show us a printout that we Should have received including a travel voucher for air or car rental. With no other fights to Denver for 2 days, we were forced to rent a car and drive the 13 hours to Denver. It was snowing in Las Vegas when we left and the drive back was in a blizzard conditions for the first 5 hours.

    A bad situation is defined by how it is handled. Frontier needs to take a good look at Southwest Airlines, never had a problem with them, always had good flights and amazing service. We saved a little money by flying Frontier but in the end paid much higher price. Paid with our own time, safety and money

    I agree with the other reviews, Frontier has been failing for a long time but has no empathy or human compassion for their precious cargo, the clients who hired them. Seems like the animals on their tails are more important than the people in the planes. Try Southwest, all included and better attitude in their altitude.

    Reality is flights do get cancelled - the social media feedback had scared me when my flight was cancelled but I had a good experience with the customer service of Frontier Airlines. It does take a little time and patience but if you follow the instructions given in the letter handed to you when your flight is cancelled the reimbursement is handled quite efficiently. The customer service was prompt and helpful and once the all documents (invoices, application etc) were furnished, they promptly processed the reimbursement.

    Flew out of Austin on Feb 13th to Vegas. My wife and I got there on plenty of time and the boarding pass people were so slow. By the time we got to the desk with half hour to go they told us we missed our flight, I was confused so lady told me we would never make it through security on time, I said, "Let me try," but they refused to give me a pass, but would put me on stand by for a flight leaving 2 hours later, wasn't looking good getting on but we made it (only good thing that happened).

    So made it to Vegas, great trip, so two hours early for flight home, about 10 people in front of boarding pass gate messing around for at least 30 minutes, and I finally said something and they moved, told us we missed our flight again, it was 3 and flight left at 4:15, so this was Saturday and they couldn't get me home till Monday. Can't do that. We both have jobs, so got flight to Denver and they wanted to pay 80 bucks for that, I refused, so 3 hours we left, and had 12 hour layover in Denver, love sleeping on the dirty floors, people sleeping everywhere. Got to San Antonio Sunday morning, got a rental car to Austin.

    I received a piece of luggage from my family for Christmas 2018. I’d yet to fly with said piece of luggage. To escape the cold Wyoming winter, I surprised my family with a trip to Orlando out of Denver. First time the piece of luggage flew. Having a nice piece of LL Bean luggage is a nice thing to own. My return flight I was surprised to see the handle broken off. The baggage claim representative told me it wasn’t covered but to call “feedback or concerns”, she even commented on the fact that the piece of luggage was brand new.

    Initially the claim lady was helpful and asked for pictures of the piece of luggage; her name was Krisha. She told me that while the luggage was normally not covered, she noticed how new it was and offered a settlement. Settlement options were:1. if I produced a receipt the frontier would cover the cost. 2. Give me $75.00 or 3. Award a $100 flight credit. Seems reasonable for a $365.00 piece of luggage doesn’t it?

    Not that this truly matters, but needs to be mentioned. I am a disable combat veteran. I use a cane the majority of the time. Can you imagine how difficult it is to walk without another crutch, but to lug a piece of luggage across Denver’s airport without a handle and trying to use a cane for balance and mobility? I’ve spoken to two supervisors of Krisha (Olivia and Beverly), both commented on the situation that terms would be reworked with Krisha to replace the new piece of luggage.

    Because of Frontiers (Indiogo LLC) formation as an LLC, consumer beware as there no real legal litigation you can pursue. It’s why folks love LLCs so much. You can be treated like crap and nothing you can really do about it, but boycott and pray that the company fails and falls flat on their faces. I would love to post pictures of the piece of luggage for evidence but site will not allow that. We will never be using Frontier again. I often wonder whatever happened to business 101? Treating customers like dirt only yields lower increases.

    Frontier Airlines advertises itself as a "low cost" airline, and indeed when you see the ticket prices, you think, "Gee this is great!" THEN you discover they have lied all along. You have to PAY for a seat-- EACH WAY. Seats range from $14 at the very back near the bathroom to $50 up front. THEN you go to check in, and discover that a CARRY ON BAG, FREE at all other airlines is $40 EACH WAY. I decided to cancel my whole trip at that point, but then they charge you $114 to cancel. You are stuck. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN EVER FLY FRONTIER AIRLINES. AND ANOTHER THING.

    My wife booked me a flight on frontier from Orlando to Detroit in October 2018. Flight from Orlando to Detroit was good but when I arrived there my bag was not there. There was no one from Frontier available to help me either. I returned the next day and had to file a missing bag report and was told my bag had been sent to another destination. To make a long story short I was headed to northern Michigan and had no warm clothing with me. I had to purchase new clothing for the trip as my bag never showed up all week. I finally told the airline to hold my bag in Detroit and I would pick it up on my return flight to Orlando.

    When I arrived at the airport my bag was there but my flight was canceled. I was told I could not get another flight for two days. I am a 82 years old and was obviously upset so the ticket agent said there was a flight in half an hour to Tampa. I was given a slip of paper saying I could get a refund from Frontier for using American Airlines. That ticket cost me 345.31 plus 60.00 in EBC and FTF fees. We submitted a claim online and called customer service to be sure that they have the claim and have phoned customer service about 4-5 times as to the status of this claim and have been reassured that we would have a check in the mail in two weeks.

    Monday, 17 December, my 70-year-old mother and I got to the airport at 12:30 pm for flight 613 scheduled for 10:15 pm, hoping to check in and possibly get an earlier flight to Seattle. We found out the Frontier ticket desk did not open until 7 pm. As soon as we saw people at the ticket booth, we checked in and checked our bags, and were notified that the departure time had been revised from 10:15 to 10:50 pm. We proceeded to the terminal which still had our departure as “on time.”

    I received text messages at 7:53 pm that gave a departure time of 10:26 and 10:14 pm, respectively, leaving me to believe the flight was again on time. Not until after 10:50 pm did they make an announcement that the flight had been delayed and we were waiting for the arrival, disembarking of passengers, and quick cleaning of the airplane. The plane finally arrived at around 11:30 pm, and they quickly loaded us onto the plane. My seat had not been cleaned, as there was garbage in the front pocket.

    As I sat in my seat, I immediately smelled a stench of an overwhelming mechanical-type odor. I asked my mother if she could smell something, and she said, “yes.” My eyes began to burn, and my lungs began to burn, as well as my throat and the inside of my nose. My mother was experiencing the same sensations. We sat in the plane for almost an hour while the flight crew scurried around spraying Febreze or some kind of air freshener to mask the overwhelming odor, which made it worse. This added to the discomfort we were experiencing, especially when trying to breathe. We were very concerned at this point.

    They pulled a couple of gentlemen dressed in pilot uniforms from their seats on the plane and brought them to the very front one at a time, and they never sat back down. The flight crew was making phone call after phone call, and the ticketing agents at some point came on board. They did not seem to be taking it very seriously, as chuckling and chattering was happening. The flight crew clearly knew early on that there was an issue and kept whispering to each other so that no passengers could hear them or read their lips, as well as discreetly covering their mouths and noses.

    We had pulled away from the terminal at some point and sat on the tarmac. At 11:55 pm, I turned my phone back on and received text messages that the revised time was now 12:13 am and 1:30 am, respectively. A little after midnight, Tuesday, 18 December, a young male stood up and demanded to get off the plane, because he could not “stand it anymore.” At around 1 am, the pilot finally made an announcement that due to an odor in the plane that the flight crew noticed upon the start of engines, the plane was going to be deplaned, but the odor was clearly there before the plane started.

    The plane then made its way back to the terminal and we got off. We were told that maintenance was going to fix the plane and it was now scheduled for 1:30 am. This was the first announcement made by the flight crew when I had already received the information by text almost 45 minutes prior. It became clear that communication to the passengers was not a priority.

    Approximately 8 to 12 police showed up from the airport and stood at the back of the terminal, which seemed a bit odd, because the airport was closed. We were told to stay in the area because TSA was gone and there was no way to get back in. We were basically held hostage with no offering of water or food of any kind, or further explanation. At some point, the flight crew left, along with the 2 gentlemen dressed in pilot uniforms that were sitting on the plane, all walking past us, quite jovially with no final announcement made until well after 2 am.

    They finally announced around 2 am, after being bombarded with questions because we were waiting, obviously with no flight crew. They said they needed to have a 15-minute powwow to decide how they were going to deal with the situation. Minutes later, they finally announced the flight was canceled, they told us we needed to get our luggage from downstairs, there was going to be a plane coming to get us, but not until 2:45 the next afternoon, and we were to meet them at the ticket counter where they would give the out of town people hotel vouchers, and tickets for the 2:45 pm flight to Denver. Our connecting flight to Seattle would have long been missed. They told the Miami people to go home.

    My mother demanded a wheelchair, because her pain killers had worn off, and she had not eaten in 10 hours. Another young passenger had also asked for a wheelchair and we sat and waited. The other passenger apparently ended up walking down to the luggage terminal and ticket counter, as she did not want to wait any longer for the wheelchair.

    At 2:55 am, we proceeded to the luggage area. When we got to the ticket counter, my mother, who was being wheeled in a wheelchair, was wheeled to the front of the line where we attempted to resolve our issue. I had looked up other flights for that morning, and American Airlines had one at 6:45 am to Seattle, just 3 or so hours later. The lady who was dealing with us, and not very nicely, was also helping the other passenger (who had earlier asked for a wheelchair), and told me that was not an option, they did not have the power to do that, and my options were a refund or the flight at 2:45 pm. She proceeded to tell me that Frontier could not and did not have the power to put us on a flight with another carrier; that they did not have any type of relationship with another carrier. She gave me a little piece of paper with Frontier Airlines information and told me to call if I had further questions or complaints.

    I walked away from the ticket desk and tried to call the number on the piece of paper. There was no option to talk to anyone. The 2 ladies who were pushing my mother’s wheelchair and luggage were from American and had said Frontier should be booking us flights and told us American Airlines ticket counter did not open until 4 am. I returned back to the Frontier ticket counter and waited to talk to the agent again. As I waited, I heard the passenger who was being helped earlier return and say, “I do not need a hotel voucher.” I had decided out of total frustration, to get a refund of my money, because we were going to American Airlines to get on an earlier flight.

    There was a line of people from Miami demanding to have Ubers and rides paid for them, or some sort of compensation; I have no idea what was done for them. The ticket agents needed to be told not to help the people from Miami, as they needed to help the out of towners. We made our way to the American Airlines area with my mom being pushed in a wheelchair. When we finally arrived to the other end of the airport, the 2 women helping my mother took pictures of our Frontier tickets for compensation from Frontier, as they worked for American Airlines.

    While we were waiting to check in to American Airlines, I saw the other passenger from the Frontier flight. I made my way to her and asked what Frontier did for her, because I was already frustrated that no compensation was made for either my mother or myself for what we had endured. She told me that Frontier had booked her on the American Airlines flight. Apparently, I was bold-faced lied to by the Frontier agent. I asked her how that came about and she responded, “I’m sick.” All of us had just been poisoned in a plane, we were all sick. Just because I did not reveal all my medical health problems and that the reason my mother was in a wheelchair was because she was recovering from 2 broken legs at the age of 70 years old, I did not get booked on an American Airlines flight.

    When American Airlines ticket counter finally opened, I talked to one of the ticket agents and she said all Frontier has to do is call us to book a flight. She was powerless, but all it took on Frontier’s part was a phone call. We were not offered a hotel voucher by the Frontier agent; she never offered us anything, but the 2:45 flight or a refund. We got no compensation. She gave me my money back. I ended up paying $879.80 to get my mother and myself on an American Airlines flight so we could get back around the same time Frontier had obligated themselves when I purchased the tickets.

    After the 5 hours wasted with Frontier, we had been at the airport for almost 24 hours, had not eaten for 12 hours, and had no water for at least 8 hours, and no access to get any of those commodities. Everything we experienced was total and utter chaos, a total absence of communication, and total absence of consideration.

    When I finally got home, I had received 2 vouchers from Frontier for $150 a piece, which is useless to me, because after what we encountered I will never fly Frontier again. After stewing in my own thoughts and frustration of how this all turned out, I added up all of the vouchers everyone else was getting if they took the 2:45 flight (apparently); $150 each ($300) for future flight, $100 each ($200) for hotel accommodations, and $10 each ($20) for food vouchers. If they had not refunded my money ($376.80) and booked my mother and myself on the American Airlines flight I requested, they would have actually saved about $17. Instead of keeping customers happy, they decided to make it truly a nightmare.

    My mother and I were returning from a cruise where we were treated like royalty, and then our quite expensive vacation was single-handily dismantled and destroyed by Frontier Airlines. This terrible occurrence is the only thing we have talked about since we got home, not about our tremendously wonderful cruise. I can only imagine they did the same to the other passengers in the plane; ruined vacations, or planned on vacations, as well the children and babies that were on board sucking in toxic fumes.

    Since returning home, my mother has had worsening asthma symptoms, headache, burning throat, shortness of breath, and nausea. I have had a terrible headache, sore throat, shortness of breath, and nausea. I contacted Frontier in the expectations of compensation for my mother and myself for the turmoil spent with Frontier Airlines. I refused to accept vouchers, or future flights with Frontier, as I expected repayment of at least the money I was out for buying tickets to American Airlines to get us home ($503). The lady has refused to pay for our entire ticket (less $10 each) or the $30 each I paid for my baggage. They want to bicker about $80 instead of doing what is right and making me whole. I will not stop until I get my entire $503.

    I bought roundtrip tickets January 2019 from Denver to Los Angeles. The flight out there was delayed 6 hours, 4 of which we sat on the plane for an apparent update of a maintenance issue. This was well into the lunch hour when we were on the plane and I was traveling with a 1yr old and 12 yr old. Frontier still charged for snacks and beverage even though the plane was delayed so long. My baby ran out of water for his bottles and I still had to pay Frontier for a bottle of water to make him a bottle.

    The return flight home the plane was filthy. My seat had ketchup (or I hope it was ketchup and not blood) smeared all over the back of the seat in front of me, there where crumbs all over the floor of the plane at which my son kept dropping his pacifier in, and there was a sticky residue on one of the arms to the seats which had hair plastered and dangling off of. I complained to the flight attendant and she replied, "Oh we don't have anyone to clean our planes!" So she got me a paper towel and handed it to me to wipe off the back of the seat that had ketchup. NICE!!! Then I also smelled smoke and complained of that to the flight attendants who quickly replied, "Oh we don't smell anything, if you continue to smell it let me know we can give you some spray to eliminate the odor!"

    The guy that sat next to me was juuling **. I caught him and took a photo. My one-year-old is adopted and was exposed to drugs in utero and I feel like I was made to put his health in jeopardy over the filth and drugs exposure while on the plane. And seriously nothing was done about it while I complained. I deplaned and immediately went to customer service in which they issued a flight voucher which wasn't even the cost of my plane ticket of $88.

    SERIOUSLY??? My husband and I once took a later flight with Frontier because of overbooking and received $600 a piece in flight vouchers. I feel like my child health and the 6 hour delay is worth more than the and overbooking fee of $600.... A measly $75 voucher is what I received for the problems I had with Frontier... Big Joke.

    I have never experience harassment from an airline employee until we fly Frontier. Here is the some background, this is our first time flying Frontier, when we arrived for our first flight in Orlando, we went up to the customer service desk to check in our daughter stroller, and car seat and carry on. But the rep there told us “Oh no you that bag wouldn’t be considered a paid carry on because it was our daughter's suitcase."

    Now on our returning flight back to Orlando. The moment we went through security (literally a 5 minute process because the airport is so small) and sat down at our seat, an old lady came up to me without stating her name or credentials, she had a black coat on (no Frontier uniform on) and asked me to check in our stroller and ask me did we pay for our carry on (mind you, we arrived at 8:30 and the flight was not departing till 10:51. I immediately thought what is the rush, this airport is super small and we have plenty of time before the flight departs). When I told her we have time for all of that, she started looking at me with an attitude and said it’s best to do it early, "Please do it now." When I told her, we will take care of it when we are ready, she stormed off, rolled her eyes, and told the reps behind the desk about us.

    When I got to the gate, they immediately said, “You need to pay for your bag” and the old lady with the blonde hair stood right next to her. At this point I looked at her and asked her to please stop harassing me over a $50 carry while I hold my infant. My husband who was behind me started telling the rep what the Orlando Rep said and that if it’s not the same case okay we will pay. Before he could even finish his sentence, the old lady immediately interrupted and said we have to pay or we won’t board. We weren’t even attempting to board but rather trying to talk, She literally stood in our, and harassed us.

    I have never experience such a rude and disrespectful employee in my life. We had every intentions on paying for that bag but what was so frustrating was the fact that she would not let us finish our sentence, assumed we wouldn’t pay, and threaten us by saying she won’t let us board the flight. I should of listen to and sticked to my gut when I saw so many bad review about this airline. There’s a reason, their flights are so cheap! They are never on time, there’s an extra fee for everything, no snacks on the plane and ride employees! Needless to say we will never fly Frontier again. I would not recommend this airline to anyone.

So, I get an email from Frontier saying they're sorry for the unexpected cancellation, and I was directed to rebook my flight through Trip Easy. I did that and had to come up with nearly an additional $400 to book a flight through American Airlines. I was told that I would receive a refund for the rebooked flight.

    My flight was canceled 10/17/18. Today is 1/22/19. 4 MONTHS. Do you think I've received a refund? NO. I was told that the refund check was sent 10/18/18. I never received it. I called 11/20/18 asking about the refund. I gave my new address to the customer rep. I was told to wait an additional 10-14 business days. I called 12/3/18 and told a customer rep that I had still not received my refund check. I was told to wait again. On 12/11/18, I contacted Frontier Airlines yet again via email. Someone called me back and said they were reissuing a refund check and told me to wait an 6-8 additional weeks.

    So, here we are today, 1/22/19. I've been getting the runaround for 4 months for something that is owed to me. I'm currently on the phone with customer service as I type this email. And I can guarantee you that I'm going to be told to wait again. At this point I don't know what to do. So here's what I'll tell you to do. Save yourself a headache, a possible stranding in a place that isn't home, and extra money that you really don't have available to spending... DON'T BOOK WITH FRONTIER. UPDATE!!! I was told to wait... *Drumroll* 8 MORE DAYS!!! Spare yourself a 4 month ordeal.

    BEWARE. THE FRONTIER MC BARCLAYS PROGRAM IS A SCAM. I signed up and paid $79 with the understanding that 40,000 miles would activate after my first purchase and I could apply them for a year. It is 5 months later (after activating) and the miles haven't accrued to my account. And, my account information states they will expire in another 2 months (7 months after I signed up).

    I was disgruntled at the $50 fee for our carry on luggage. Granted if I had done my research I would of discovered this before booking my flight, but I still think it is a ripoff. The on flight service and amenities were terrible. There were no complimentary beverages or snacks. Even on our 4 hour flight. The trays were too small to play cards on or lay a book on for crossword puzzles. The seats did not recline. And to top it all off there were no monitors on the back of the seats. Which granted I could of done without the monitors, if I could of played cards or tilted my seat back to sleep a bit and make the time go by. I will never fly Frontier again. And I will not recommend it to anyone I know.

    This was our first time using Frontier Airlines and I can promise it will be the LAST. My son who was home from the Army on leave for the holidays booked his return flight with Frontier. His flight was scheduled to leave Orlando international airport at 8:55 pm. He arrived at the airport 2 hours prior to his flight like recommended. Unfortunately the security check line was astronomical and by the time he made it through security his flight was scheduled to leave in approximately 10 min. He gets to the Frontier gate and was told he would not be allowed on the flight. Of course he asked why and the very rude obnoxious gentleman told him he was late and could not board the flight.

    My son explained to him that he was in the security check line for almost 2 hours and the man still refused to let him board. Fortunately a very nice lady who worked at the airport but not for Frontier overheard this conversation and politely intervened and told my son that she was very sorry he was being treated and talk to so rudely by the Frontier employee. She told him to go to Southwest, give her name and explain to them what just occurred between my son and Frontier. He did and they gave him a direct flight to Kansas and only charged him $100 for the ticket. Mind you he had already paid $298 for his ticket through Frontier.

    As many of you may know, when you are in the military you have to be back to base on the date they give you by midnight. If you aren't signed in by midnight they can charge you with going AWOL. My son explained this to the Frontier employee as well, he told my son that wasn't his problem. My son filed a formal complaint with Frontier and may possibly receive a $99 refund, not holding my breath but we'll see.

    I recently bought my first ever airline ticket with Frontier. Cost relative to the flight I thought was awesome, but I obviously didn't take enough time to read all the fine print in their policies. I bought the ticket 6 days out from my flight day. Later that day something out of my control changed and I had to cancel my flight. I did cancel my flight and noted the $99 penalty on the refund since I was canceling within 7 days. Since I bought 6 days out, there was no way around this.

    However, the part I didn't fully understand is that it required two different steps to get an actual refund. And that second step needs to happen within the first 24 hours of the cancelled trip. So, to my surprise when my credit card bill came in, I saw the entire charge and questioned it, but then I saw I had a flight credit, and thought ok, that is not so bad, I might be flying again in the next couple months and can use it. Not, knowing that I had already missed the refund window anyways.

    Then about 6 weeks later when I knew I wasn't going to be flying again, I submitted for the refund back to my card, and was promptly told I only have 24 hours to do that. I replied back stating this was my first time ever using Frontier and asked for reconsideration. They promptly responded again, there was nothing they could do. Now, I have flown 100's of flights, just never did on Frontier, so knowing that I think I can easily avoid flying on them again as a dissatisfied customer. But the fact that either they didn't believe me (although they have all my records or lack thereof to prove it), or they are so stringent that they would bend their rules for a first timer also speaks to the service they offer. I will avoid them at all costs after my experience with them.

    I flew Frontier back in October of 2018 round trip. First flight was fine. Return was TERRIBLE! Woman at ticket counter was just foul. Had a scowl on her face when I arrived (an hour and 15 minutes BEFORE flight!) and told me I was late! Would NOT let me board, rebooked me for 3 DAYS LATER, and acted like she did me a favor by waiving the rebooking fee!!! (Called the airline regarding this and was told there was "nothing they could do about it")

    I thought I'd give them another shot and flew with them on December 26th 2018. Ended up sitting at the gate for SIX hours!! Yes. SIX hours! They told us the delay was due to bad weather from where the plane was coming from. So the plane itself was four hours delayed but we had no crew for our flight. So we had to sit for an additional 2 hours waiting for a crew. When we finally got on the plane, we were told the plane delay was due to a customer issue. Hmmm which was it...weather or customer? Don't lie to your customers FFS!

    I just arrived back home and all I have to say is...never again! ANOTHER delayed flight. My flight was their first flight of the day and they boarded on time but we sat on that plane for an hour and 30 minutes before it actually left the gate due to (what we were told anyway) "TSA being backed up and a mechanical issue". When we were deplaning, after half the plane had already exited we were yelled at by one of the stewardesses to sit down immediately! They were afraid the plane might tip over because the balance between luggage and passengers was off!! Another lie? IDK, but that scared me. The ONLY reason I'm giving any stars is because the in-flight crews were very friendly and accommodating...and because I am grateful of the crew that shuttled over to Tampa from Orlando late at night so we could get to NY.

    Frontier Airlines has been the absolute worst experience we have ever had with travel. My family chose a direct flight from RDU to DEN via Frontier and received 3 out of 4 of our checked bags. The 4th bag never arrived and after speaking with a representative, we quickly learned that this was nearly expected of this airline. However, this bag happened to contain all of our expensive and necessary ski equipment, so it creates a much bigger issue than a normal lost baggage claim. We have attempted to contact Frontier several dozen times, and succeeded only a handful of times, only to receive the same speech stating that they don’t have a clue where our bag is, but that they are sorry and do not know what we should do about our belongings but they guarantee they won’t reimburse us or help at all.

    We are now in Denver, paying for lodging, and unable to use the ski lift tickets that we’ve paid for because Frontier will not reimburse us for anything until a week has passed and they will then decide the bag is “missing.” Well, in a week we will be back home and short several thousand dollars because of Frontier’s carelessness and incompetence. Frontier has offered no solutions to their mistake, and has been very clear that they do not care at all. They are knowingly ruining paying customers’ vacations and making no effort to remedy the situation because they are more concerned with making money and cutting their costs.

    Needless to say, we are never going to fly with Frontier again. In addition, we are making it our mission to warn as many friends and family as we can to avoid this airline at all costs, because it’s become so evident that they will cut corners to cut costs and maximize their profit off of their trusting and innocent customers. We simply do not feel safe flying at 30,000 feet on an airplane owned and operated by an airline company that has proven to value money and profit over the well being of their customers. I’d like to warn everyone reading this to avoid using Frontier, because a (slightly) cheaper flight is definitely not worth the costs of replacing your belongings, and especially not worth the risk it may pose to your safety.

    I have flown many Frontier flights over the years. I know they nickel and dime you and I know to pack real light (i.e. a backpack under my seat). I know that most likely we will not get there on time and I plan for that. There is always a delay. I think I’ve only ever had 1 of their flights leave on time. I expect this. However in the last year I have had not 1 but TWO FLIGHTS CANCELED ON ME. WE SPENT HOURS AT THE AIRPORT DELAYED AND DELAYED. The crew at the desk would make the announcements and just disappear with no answers as to why.

    In this latest cancellation, the flight was delayed 3 hrs and now set to depart at 6:08pm. The other flight lands, deplanes, and we get ready to board. Then they close the gate. It’s been 30 mins and no one has told us anything. We see a Frontier agent and ask them what’s happening. They said they just need the captain to sign off on some paperwork and they can board the plane. Then we start seeing that the flight is saying cancelled online. We ask the agents, they know nothing.

    When you call Frontier, they said our flight was in-flight! Are you serious? Finally they come out and announce that the flight is cancelled but they have no idea how we can get our bags and go about finding another way to get to our destination. We wait at the gate for another hour, HOUR, while they say their manager is coming with information. A manager never came. They still had no idea. They said the reason the flight couldn’t take off is because they were short 1 crew member. They couldn’t find ANYONE to staff their flight. Are you serious?

    We finally get told our baggage will be in baggage claim and wait another 30 mins for it with, as you guessed, no one to give us any information. In the line for the ticket counter they give us a paper that says we can use a website to rebook our flight and that we will be reimbursed with the cost up-to $400. A new flight on American so I can get to my destination cost me $410. I’m now worried based off of other reviews that I may not see that money.

    Things happen, I get it. However, you should keep your passengers aware of the situation in a timely manner so they can adjust their plans. PERIOD. Your staff should know what is happening and should be able to answer questions (BOTH IN PERSON, ONLINE, and over the phone). Being held hostage in the airport for 5+ hours with no idea what is happening, how I can get to my destination, and how I can get my bag is ridiculous. TL;DR DON'T FLY FRONTIER. Just don’t. The likelihood that your flight will get cancelled is high and in the end you will shell out more money than the $100 you saved. TRUST ME.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We arrived at the airport one hour before the flight that was to depart, but by the time we got to the counter it was 4:25 pm. They refused to take our suitcase because as they explained they need 45 minutes to take our suitcase to the plane. They told us to try it as a carry on at TSA. That didn't work, and we missed the flight.

    Although the crew was very nice this is a terrible, low quality airline. The seats are absolutely horrible to sit in with no ability to recline. They are extremely uncomfortable which caused me severe back pain for the entire flight. There is also very little leg room, tiny tray tables, and they also charge for every snack and beverage except for tap water. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this pitiful, low budget, bottom of the barrel airline. I have no idea how they are staying in business but I will never use them again.

    If I could give zero or negative stars, I would. I can’t lie, I did have great customer service when flying out of the San Diego airport. The lady was great and helpful. Now I’m sitting in New Orleans, I just got back to the States from a cruise with my family and we came to the airport together from the ship. My family is flying Spirit and I am flying Frontier. My entire family was able to check their bags and I have to wait three hours until noon to check my bag when my boarding starts at 12:50 and my flight leaves at 1:36. I showed my military ID to an ** woman with red hair who claims to be the manager but I think she has an issue with military personnel and is doing what she can to give me a hard time. Online, the Frontier website says (just like every other airline) that you should be checking in at LEAST two hours prior to boarding. This is my first and last time flying with Frontier and I do not suggest, especially to military personnel, to ever fly with Frontier.

    Missing Clothes and Colognes!! This is really unacceptable, we had A 30 hr delay because of canceled flights and there were no connecting flights for us until after we missed our important event for college recruiters that we were flying to meet before freshman check-in. And then we finally get to our destination on Friday morning!! After arriving to the airport on Wednesday evening out of ONT my luggage is lost! And we didn’t get it until that night! With plastic wrapped around it and to go through it, LATER THAT NIGHT at 11:50 pm and find that things were gone! (OVER $500) worth of merchandise. I made a call at 12:55 am on a 19 min call letting them know about the items, then to be told to keep the same BAGGAGE CLAIM # as a reference for my claim (LIE).

    Called the day after to follow up. Of course that was the wrong department and to call this # ** ALESIA, BAGGAGE SPECIALIST AT THE CENTRAL BAGGAGE SERVICE. They leave you on hold for hours, then she says “we can offer you A VOUCHER FOR $100 or send me your phone records that show you called in the 24 hr period of your items missing.” I sent Alesia’s dept. My AT&T phone records several weeks later, Alesia says ”They didn’t get it”??? (Disrespectful). So, now it’s September, sent them again... Still waiting... October I called to be hold over 2 HRS! Finally, 50 mins later Alesia answers (they must have called I.D) and says “they denied my claim because I didn’t call them in 24 hrs” which was only the 25th HOUR!!!

    I am still current waiting on the 48 hr call (11/9/2018) back that been 45 HRS AGAIN! I’ve been TOLD THIS SINCE AUGUST 8th.

    8/12/18 from Orlando to Cincinnati Flight 1961. Had a flight canceled in August from MCO to CVG. Was given a couple of options of another Frontier flight, none of worked with my situation. Booked with another airline using the website they provided me at the gate. Was told I would be reimbursed 400 pp in 5-7 business days. 6 phone calls and countless emails later I have yet to receive my refund. Lie after Lie after Lie. Was even told that a check was mailed with a check # provided. I was told to allow 14 days for it to arrive. After 14 days and no check, I called back. They stated they would cancel the check and mail another. With that being said, after 14 days even though the check was "canceled" it still should have arrived at my house by now, 22 days later. This story runs much deeper than this review. I am entering day number 86 of this situation. I'll never give this airline another dime.

    My flight got cancelled back in August due to mechanical issues. I was communicated via email of cancellation on way to airport, so I turned back. I got second email with apologies and with three options for making it right. I choose option one and never received my chosen option. I ended buying other tickets with other airline - of course more money due to short notice. Anyhow, it’s now November and still have not received my refund. After several calls to customer service and not getting nowhere but we are sorry! Lie after lie to only push blame to other departments thru their company on why I have not received my refund is frustrating.

    Charges and costs look good initially, but come into range of others with baggage up charges and fees. Worst part is the amazingly uncomfortable seating. Plastic seats on all flights I used recently with padded slipcovers. No reclining makes for really bad back experience for flight over an hour. Everyone around me was up and stretching out every hour or so. My wife was almost in tears by end of four hour flight. Crew was fairly indifferent too in attitude. Kinda surprising. Bring your own snacks and water too. Everything comes at an additional cost. Pay the few extra dollars and fly a quality airline. Your back and knees will thank you.

    We were flying to Albuquerque from Orlando. When we were getting ready to take off, the plane had some unexpected mechanical issues. Our flight was delayed and ultimately canceled. We ended up having to purchase other plane tickets through another airline. I put in for a request to have the money we spent on extra plane tickets refunded by Frontier and after we talked back and forth for a little while, we worked out the issue and got a refund of the full amount.

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

    Continuous delays, poor communication and terrible customer service continue to plague this company. We’ve flown this airline quite a few times and have had too many issues to list in this message. We’ve been stranded in 2 different locations because the company cancelled the flight last minute and then essentially told the customers to figure out alternative options. Everything about the company is second rate — it’s worth the few extra dollars to fly with a real airline.

    Frontier canceled my flight to Orlando just about 2 hours before departure. They did not even inform me of this cancellation and I learned it long after it was announced. I was given no assistance in rebooking by Frontier airport staff and told to help myself. This proved very stressful for me and my wife as other flights seats quickly vanished. I ended up purchasing 2 AA flights via Charlotte to Sarasota (and NOT Orlando!) and arrived to my destination at 2 am instead of 9 pm.

    My wife has serious medical issues (scoliosis and chronic TMJ pain) and single non-stop flight was needed to minimize her pain. This 10-hour ordeal was extremely painful and stressful for her. In addition, I had to rebook a car rental for Sarasota instead of Orlando and my cost went up about $150. This airline should NOT be in business. Nonexistent customer service. They do NOT care about their customers!

    Oct 9th I flew United from Spokane to Denver, to OKC. Oct 20th I flew Frontier OKC to Denver, then flight 541 to Spokane. Never flying Frontier again! Charged me 50 for my checked bag as well as 50 for my carry on!!! The lady was arguing with me when I wanted to lock my checked bag with my firearm in it. I had a TSA approved lock??? Another lady had to tell her it was a TSA approved lock. From OKC to Denver- Wouldn’t even attempt to get me an aisle seat when I requested one at the gate. I have a sore rotator cuff and can’t be squished in the middle or window seats. She wouldn’t even check her computer, just said, “we’re booked full!” I’ve never had a problem before in my 40 years of flying. And they tried to charge me another 50 for sitting in the aisles seat behind me when the doors were shut and I moved to the empty seat.

    The delays and changing back and forth of the gate to fly out of Denver was ridiculous. We were supposed to leave at 5:35 but didn’t even begin boarding till about 7:40 and had another five minute wait at the entrance to the plane for some unknown reason. And they tried to charge me another 50 for sitting in the aisles seat behind me when the doors were shut and I moved to the empty seat. They charge for all drinks, I’m just glad they didn’t charge me for the water I had to ask for so I could wash down all the coffee grounds I had ingested from my coffee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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