    Due to heavy traffic and rain, I got to my flight 30 minutes prior to the flight time. I was told I could not check in. I asked if they could look up alternative flights for me. They didn't even try. Handed me an 800 number where I talked to an automated lady. Finally got real one. She told me I would not be refunded $500 for my flight. This was to be my first flight on Frontier. There won't be a first. They made zero effort to try to help me. I know it wasn't their fault I got there 30 min prior but they could have at least tried to help me find an alternate flight. I was left in a noisy airport, bawling my eyes out to try and find some way to get to my destination. NOT IMPRESSED.

    I fell for their scam 40K points credit card. You will be lucky if you find any flights with those points. After 2 years and paying $140 (yearly fee) we finally found flight. Within 2 weeks they changed scheduled and new schedule has 7 hours layover in Denver. After 70 minute on phone - and twice "disconnected" I was told "take it or leave it". I found another flight to Denver but I was told they cannot change it - it is more expensive. Frontier policies has no flexibility and no value for passengers.

    Worst airline ever. I got to the gate with a duffle bags smaller than a backpack and was charged 40.00 and was told the free carry-on is a laptop bag. The rep was very rude and nasty. I called customer no service and spoke with Neil and he was a bigger pig. I ask to speak with a manager and he said he was a manager. I told him he should not be in management with his nasty attitude. He didn't even listen to what I had to say but kept defending the airport rep. My bag is smaller than another bag I normally travel with and didn't have to pay with them before. Do not travel with this airline. I will not travel with them again. Please do not waste your money or get fooled by their "low" price. You will end up paying more in the long run. It's a huge rip-off.

    Frontier used to be my preferred airlines as a frequent business flier. I am from Denver (the hub) and went out of my way to support them. However, they have gone from great to horrible and it shows in the decreased revenues. The new website is horrible! Logging in is a nightmare and once you reset your password, once you log out it does not save it so you have to go in each time and reset it. Furthermore, the connections are very difficult. The employee morale is at an all time low (feedback from one of the customer service reps) and getting the boarding pass to check in is a pain. I switched all of my business over to Southwest and have been very happy. I truly wish I didn't have to do that. All I can say is that the new management has taken a good airline corporation and driven it into the ground. Time for new management.

    Frontier Airlines was completely rude, disrespectful and discriminatory against disabled and terminally ill passengers - not only did they cause us to miss our flight, miss my very important possibly life-saving doctor treatment but we had the consequences of cancelled rental cars and hotels and other flights that could also not be refunded there for ruining our entire trip and costing a fortune we could not afford. Even our lives in the big scheme of things seeing how I am trying to get medical treatment to save my life. I have never been treated so badly in my entire life and honestly cannot believe those people are allowed to continue employment. Disgusting behavior.

    I flew from PHL to Orlando on Sept 6th on Frontier Airlines and 2 designer pocketbooks (small wristlets) were stolen out of my luggage. I submitted a complaint requesting a full refund - the auto generated response said I would hear back in 7 business days. Well it has been 7 business days and I have not heard back from them yet. This is very upsetting because I believe either my 2 bags should be replaced or I should at the least receive a full refund. The fact that they lied and said someone would contact me in 7 days also makes me very upset, like I'm not important as their customer.

    I have been flying since 1969 and it is now 2015. FRONTIER Airline is by far the "crappiest" airline I have ever flown. I purchased 2 round-trip tickets totaling $39.00, bought not on their site but from a travel site I have used in the past. I arrived at the airport 45 minutes before my flight, a little less than the recommended 1 hour for domestic flight, flying from Atlanta to LaGuardia in New York. I was pushed aside and told I should have been there 2 hours before departure time of 6:45 am and given a "customer service" number to call. The rep also rudely asked if I had not read the information on their site. (I don't remember being directed to their site.) I wish you had a half-star rating.

    I was asked to pay $198.00 and told I could fly the next day, again at 6:45 am, so I got there at 3:00 am, not wanting a repeat scenario. I paid $100.00 for checking 2 bags, asked to pay between $30.00 - $13.00 for the seats (by the toilet). I declined and was reminded that I could be separated from my 82-year old disabled travel companion. The herd needed to be on board 45 minutes before departure. Upon take off, we were asked if we would like to purchase snacks starting at $1.95. My thoughts, I would rather starve. I watched unsuspecting customers arguing about paying for small carry-on and cursing like a sailor. I understood their frustration.

    In the end, total cost for the trip... $377.00. Hopefully, you are reading this BEFORE purchasing your ticket. The internet is littered with horrible reviews for this airline. It did not take long for me to decide NEVER AGAIN. I don't think $377.00 for 2 round-trip tickets from Atlanta to New York is bad, I just think the way it was done felt so much like a SCAM!

    We traveled as a family of 6 from Indianapolis to Denver, then to San Diego. We returned, as a family of 7, with our new Marine, via the same route. We always arrived two hours before departure with the exception of the layover in Denver. We had no issues with tickets or lost luggage. There were no additional fees after our credit card was initially charged. It is a no frills airline, no extras were included. We were permitted to carry on our own drinks and snacks. They offered beverages with credit card or debit card. We will fly with Frontier again.

    This is what Frontier offers - on one hand they offer cheap fares but on the other hand they make up for it by charging for carry on baggage. In LaGuardia you saw no one at the counter to assist you with questions. Using the Kiosk to print your tickets and little notice came up prior to printing your ticket, you have to pay $40.00 for carry-on, $30.00 at the counter, unbelievable! It is not a cheap airline.

    Upon arrival to the airport myself, my husband, and 8 other customers were attempting to check-in for our flight from Detroit to Denver. There was not a single attendant at the check-in desk from an hour prior to departure until 5 minutes prior. We were told via customer service representatives on the phone that we would have to pay a fee of $100 to be booked on a follow flight, the next day. My husband and I had a 48 hour "bucket list" trip planned that was a surprise. Needless to say we did not leave Detroit and had to throw away hundreds of dollars that a full-time student and special education teacher CANNOT afford to waste.

    Aside from the following day offer... they did not take into consideration the fact that we had purchased "insurance" on our tickets. FOR WHAT? We received no apologies, no compensation, and went home losing out on an incredible experience I worked very hard to make happen for us. This airline, despite the hidden fees, could easily have handled this properly. Instead at DTW their staff hid, until there was no choice but to deny our entry. In ALL of the years I have flown (and according to my many clients that fly for a living) they have never experienced an airline denying you your right to check in. It is on YOU and YOUR ass if you don't make it to the gate in time.

    I had to scour through the fine print of Frontier's website to find that we had to be AT the desk to check in TWO HOURS prior to the flight? I have NEVER heard of such a thing unless flying internationally. Even when I attempted to check us in on my phone during the ride to the airport I received an "error" response. There wasn't even an option to use the self-service kiosk at the airport. The message said "see agent". Well guess what? There was no agent for an entire hour that we stood in the middle of the terminal DUMBFOUNDED and on the phone with agents getting us... nowhere. This was September 12th and I am still fuming. It had a chain reaction that has ghastly changed our comfortability in our home-life because we had to rearrange plans so quickly. Oh, and we have still not left the state. We cannot afford to travel after the last trip I planned, paid for, and did not go on.

    If there was ANY type of communication or consideration for the fact that we are humans, with lives, and a story rather than a number and a CHEATED few hundred dollars I would not have such animosity. Believe me, until this is addressed and dealt with properly I will (although I do not like threats) not hesitate in the slightest to let this experience and opinion be known.

Also there was a mental drama for 15 mins and he was not ready to listen. He was very rude and not helping at all. Finally we missed our flight and Frontier Airlines charged extra money for rescheduling flight. This is torture and I will suggest not to travel by this airlines even though they are selling tickets at cheap rate.

    On 9/19/15 we were at airport 40 minutes before flight departing time! And we were told we was late because of luggage was closed. They gave us the option of rebooking at $99 or 1 person staying behind with luggage and the other person could board the plane. 3 workers there and I can't tell you who was the nicest or professional of the 3. Needless to say we turn it down. I am going to try to get refund. I re-book my flight an hour later with American and God what a difference. Bottom line - not worth the savings because there is none. I hope they are taken out of business and someone read all the complaints towards Frontier and investigates them.

    What was supposed to be a great trip round trip with Frontier turned for the worst. We have 3 children and choose Frontier because they had available seating 3 months prior to flights. We booked seats 1A-1E. Then upgraded almost $400 to premiere works hoping to ensure priority seating, bags etc. Well we went to check in 12 hours before departing Orlando and found that there had been a plane change, so it's fight for a seat selection now, no guarantees. Great so after 3 hours of calls to Frontier and being hung up on by a supervisor we got shafted with seats all over. So the works upgrade was a waste of money and they never offered anything for the issues here. Just a hope you can talk other passengers into changing seats. Well I have lost faith in customer service here and would not recommend Frontier to any families with trips.

    First time with this airline. They charged me 40$ to check a small carry-on. Both ways this adds $80 to trip. How I wished I had booked with my usual big name airlines. They also wanted to charge me extra for a window seat. Agents were very rude. Wish all these extra charges were made clearer in booking process.

    I booked a flight from SLC to Denver, but the next day found a great deal from SLC to Cancun (promised my 2 daughters I would take them there someday and they had school off) so... I booked it! Got the car, a hotel all arranged and called Frontier to see if I could cancel, give my tickets to someone else, or move the date. She told me that none of those options would work without being charged either $99 or $75 plus airfare changes. I would be willing to pay the fare change for the different day, but an additional $75? (More than the original ticket purchase price?)

    Anyway, called back the next morning just to make sure that was right (couldn't believe it). The next lady told me that if I would have changed the dates the day before, it would not have charged me anything! I told her that I called the day before and they said it would charge me. She said she can't change it now. I asked if I could speak to a manager, she said they couldn't help me either, that you can't override the computer. Man, I realize that I overlapped travel, but that is bad customer service!

    Shame on Frontier airlines for deceptive, unfair practices. This is a sad story trying to take our kids to Disney World, FL. Took my family (Husband, 2 daughter 4 & 9) to Douglas International Airport (busiest airport on the planet). Got to the counter well over an hour before flight. For multiple reasons, they will not accept cash to pay for bags ($40 for a carry on that I have taken inside half dozen plans, and 30 for a luggage. They said carry on was too big)... They pointed to where we could walk and get Visa card. I mentioned that it may be late by the time we come back for getting a boarding pass (bear in mind that their policy states that 45 minutes is the cut off time for boarding pass. So I asked if there is anything she could do to further assist us). She looked at me and said to hurry, it will be fine.

    My husband, two kids and I running to get a visa card for $70. When we finally got back, we were late by 5 minutes and she did not issue boarding passes. Although we were there earlier, regardless she would not give us passes. I begged her, and although she knew exactly who we were earlier, she still choose to turn us away. Next flight would've cost four of us $396.00 since we missed our flight and a whole day. We choose to go with another airline since our time was very limited. Please do not ever use this airline. I should've read the reviews and paid to fly with another airline. SAVE YOURSELF A TON OF HEADACHE AND STAY MILLION MILES AWAY FROM FRONTIER AIRLINES. SHAME ON THEM!

    My e-tickets were not accepted, (even though it was not stated on the website during online check-in) resulting in a missed flight and an additional $400 that had to be paid via new ticket purchase/rebooking fee for the following day. I was turned away and told to go back to the counter to print a physical boarding pass, which took an additional 45-55 minutes once passing through the security line. The airline marked me as a no-show, as if I was not there, when clearly there is documentation of my presence at the airport.

    No credit was given to accommodate the issue and customer service was horrible when the issue was explained via the toll-free number. English was clearly the second language, so there was a language barrier and no compassion whatsoever. I was not asking for a refund, simply a credit to rebook for the next available flight, considering the circumstances. I will not be flying Frontier again due to this experience and I will gladly let anyone that comes across my path of the same.

    Please do not get yourself caught up in their special "sales" going on at the moment. This airline is a complete rip off and utter waste of time. I had paid over $300.00 for two tickets which wasn't too bad considering they were purchased for the weekend. Anyway, I needed to cancel as my friend was suddenly unable to attend the trip. Well, they give absolutely no refund for the "sale" fare and on top of that, I must pay an additional $99.00 for each person just to cancel an already nonrefundable flight! Are you serious?? Why continue to rip off someone who cannot even receive a refund, only a measly credit? Not to mention you are paying for your seats on top of the fare, so what are we paying for exactly? A nice airplane that provides nothing? Yep, avoid at all cost. They are trying to drum up business on an airline that should've been shut down from the jump.

    Worst experience ever!!! Frontier confirmed my flight the evening before scheduled departure only to find out at 3:30 am (3 hrs before scheduled flight) that the flight had been cancelled. Upon calling to find out what other flight I could take, I was told the next flight available for my destination was 3 days from now! They said "flight was cancelled because there was no available crew, sorry for the inconvenience". Really?! They would refund my money 1.5 billing cycles from now!

    I showed up early for a flight to Vegas and returned at boarding time to see that we were delayed about 3 hours. When I asked the customer service what they would do about it they said "nothing yet". When it gets past 4 hours "we'll see" is what she said. When I asked about the departure time they changed, all she could say was it was "a guess". For a company that charges $30 per carry on they don't seem to have any commitment to service.

    I booked a flight for my girlfriend and it was delayed. I understand that flights are delayed quite frequently; what I don't understand is why Frontier Airlines wasn't able to contact me to tell me that the flight has been delayed. I don't fly very often, but in the past when one of my flights has been delayed I've always been contacted either via email or text message. With Frontier, I received neither. I dropped my girlfriend off at the terminal only to have to turn right back around and pick her up. As I'm writing this review, Google Now registers no delay and neither does Frontier's own website.

    When I picked my girlfriend up I went in the terminal and spoke to a Frontier representative to see how long the flight would be delayed and to ask what the issue was. She told me she has no idea. Then, she said since we bought our ticket through a 3rd party, that it's their responsibility to inform of us of a delay. So I called CheapOair to get to the bottom of it. Turns out that the airline is actually supposed to inform the 3rd party of the delay, and then they are supposed to inform the consumer. Great. Only issue was, Frontier never informed CheapOair of the delay, so in turn, they could not inform me.

    So, the bottom line is that I'm sitting here writing this review with no idea when my girlfriend's flight is departing. Frontier seems unable to communicate with one another about the issue, and are showing absolutely no empathy for the people who are flying on this flight nor the people who are transporting the ticket holder to and from the airport. I'd be satisfied even if one of Frontier's representatives offered to investigate the issue, but instead they simply said "they don't know". So they left the burden on my girlfriend and I to figure out when the flight is leaving. Due to this complete lack of customer service, I won't be purchasing a Frontier ticket ever again. I'd advise spending a few extra dollars to purchase a ticket on another airline. A little customer service can go a long way.

Well once loaded they were told there was a FUEL LEAK and there would be a short delay. That delay turned into 12 hours. He called at 9:06 Vegas time and said he was boarding. I looked online at 2:00 my time to make sure there were no more delays and Frontier said the flight was ON TIME and had arrived at 4 pm. So I called customer service and the lady said she couldn't tell me anything because the system was only at 77% update. Then said according to online he arrived at 4 pm. My head exploded. So I asked to speak to her supervisor.

    20 minutes later the supervisor advised me that there was a "short delay" in Vegas. In what universe is 12 HOURS a "short delay"?!!!! And his flight should land at 3:31 am in Cincinnati. I ask her why the website was wrong, and why the first lady gave me such a long run around and why 20 minutes hold time seemed reasonable. She had no answer. It actually sounded like she had me on hold or mute the whole time I was talking. ANYWAYS - They are RUDE and obviously outdated. They advertise one thing and then do another.

    I recently took a red-eye out of Seattle. The airport only had one line to get through security and the person in front of me had said that he waited for 2 hours without reaching the front of the line. Needless to say, I panicked because my flight was due to leave in an hour and the next flight out on Frontier was the next night. My mom and I went to the Frontier stand to see if they could help get me through security or at least give some reassurance. Instead, the lady LIED and said the plane arrived yet, and there was 100% CHANCE the flight will be delayed. Then, she got frustrated that my mom wanted to see some action and YELLED at us saying that she couldn't do anything and that the flight hasn't arrived.

    However, when I got to the gate, the plane was ABOUT TO TAKE OFF. To make things even worse, the lady letting me board was RUDE and UNINTERESTED in her customers. Her exact response was, "I suppose I could let you board… but you are late." "YES, I was late because the lady at the front desk LIED TO ME about the status of the flight." The worst customer service I have ever gotten. Frontier's cheap flights are not worth the stress and anxiety beforehand.

I was stunned at the fees... 15.00- 65.00, additional for a seat... what does the ticket buy??? 30.00 for a carry-on. I traveled with this airline 6 months ago and none of these fees were there. No warning on their ticket booking site of the outrageous fees to come after they have your confirmation. I was reluctant to fly in such cramped seats again but I thought the lesser ticket price would be worth it. I could have flown on a "regular" airline which comfortable seating for the fees I wound up paying. Airlines don't want the regulators to intervene with their practices but this is a great example of how the industry is fleecing the consumer.

    I think 0 is a high number for Frontier. I booked a trip with them past weekend which I was not able to locate my ticket. I called the customer service and after waiting a good one hour I spoke with someone who lacked customer service skills. Finally I was able to fly and on my round trip my bag was damaged. I tried to report it at the airport but no Frontier agent was available. I called customer service without success. The next days I called back the customer service and spoke with an agent who took my complaint and assured me I will be receiving a call from a manager. The same lady call me again to inform me that Frontier Airlines is not responsible for bag damages and the only thing she can do is refund me the baggage fee, keep in mind my bag is worth $150. I know for a fact I will never fly with such airline and will make sure that other customers do not go through it.

    My wife and I are from Texas and we have been traveling around Western US. We have been flying Delta and United but needed to use Frontier from Phoenix to Houston. Like all the other airlines we went to ticket machine and got our tickets. After spending some time to watch the OSU/VT game, we arrived at the gate 6:30 for a 6:45 boarding. Around 6:40, a Frontier employee approach us with a rude statement "I have announced twice concerning the baggage, are you listening?" She (Amy) repeat this three times in the process.

    So number one in any business is attitude. Frontier employee (Amy) was just downright rude. The issue was with the baggage. With Delta and United, we had no issues. But now with Frontier, I'm told you could have checked the baggage for 30 but because it's late and you are at the gate, we are charging 60 per bag. Yes, I looked at their website today and it does state the facts. However this is highway robbery and too confusing. And other airlines are not doing this plus to have someone with such a bad attitude (Amy) take Frontier off my list of airlines.

    I recently booked a flight for my husband and I with Frontier on July 29th for a round trip to Cincinnati, Oh. When I booked the flight I paid for a more expensive ticket to leave later on Sunday from Cincinnati. We were excited to see our best friends that we have not seen in a long time. So our trip was planned leave Denver at 12:30 am on Sep 10th and Fly back on Sep 13th at 4:40 pm. All was great, until I received a second confirmation email today Sep 7th saying we leave Denver still at 12:30 am Sep 10th but return now at 10:25 am on Sep 13th. When I called I got a Supervisor who gave me two options - cancel my return flight with a full refund or change it to Monday Sep 14th. All I asked for was a partial refund for the fact that I paid more for my original flight. She said that was impossible and that I only had two options.

    I quickly looked up return flights and found I would pay double for the last minute change! So I was left really without any options. I had to choose to keep the flight without any refund. I understand flights are always changing, but to pay extra and then not to be told about the change until 3 days prior to the flight! I am outraged with Frontier. I have flown with multiple airlines and have never had this happen to me. Not only am I missing something important to me to fly back early, but I have to pay for it. I will NEVER fly Frontier ever again, and I hope this may help some of you to choose wisely about what airlines you choose. Best of luck, because once you hit confirm your trip is in their hands.

    What a mess of an airlines. I checked in online for my flight the night before and saw a 1 hour delay. But the delay grew to three hours by the time I got to the airport, causing my connection to be missed. Still no emailed updates on flight status. Their next flight out of Denver was oversold and after that I had a 3 day wait. But no better option. After an hour or so the manager there figured out a plane substitution that would get us home (there were 3 other people in the same predicament). Great job Indianapolis. He personally brought housing, and food vouchers to the gate. And arranged $100 credit as an apology. I felt like the airlines had made a pretty damn good step at solving the problem.

    On to Denver, the hotel is totally alright but 5 hours till the shuttle picks us back up isn't much for rest. Morning comes fast and I am back in line to board my plane a day late. But it turns out we have no baggage stamp. The clerk calls for the manager and she doesn't care what we have already been through. To quote "you want to get on my plane you got to play the 60 dollars." All pretense of helpful is gone. So I pay my $60 and board my plane.

    In Portland I decide to ask somebody not under pressure if they are sure they want to leave this exchange like this. Frontier's front desk is unattended, 4 frustrated passengers are standing around trying to rectify digital tickets that don't work and kiosks that just say "see agent." My call to their help desk is about as useful as you would expect. They don't give a **, no interest in customer retention. In the end my cheap flight suggested by Expedia cost me as almost as much as any other airline, plus lost sleep and lost work.

They haven't any customer service skills and when you dial the 800 number there will be a language barrier. Save yourself, spend a few more dollars and go to another airline.

I tried to get a refund and was told that I would have to produce a death certificate and other documentation. I think it would be very petty to ask my sister-in-law to get her sister's death certificate for me to get $158.00 refund. I spoke to a supervisor and was told there was nothing she could. She was very insensitive and abrupt. So they have just stole $158.00 from me but will never get another dime.

    We took a flight from Cleveland to Orlando Florida. We arrived at airport, checked our bag, and went to board our plane. When we arrived back in Cleveland after our trip our luggage that was checked was grabbed and put on van and then loaded into our car for our 5 hr drive home. When I arrived home I realized our bag had not only been damage but literally crushed so hard the corner supports are shattered and broken at bottom of my luggage. Clothes were holding it up enough to not notice it immediately but when it was unzipped the entire side collapsed almost flat to the point that my clothes fell out the side of it. Something ran it over to crush that thick of plastic on my luggage.

    I tried to file a claim but they said it had to be within 4 hrs of flight. Well my drive home was 5 hrs so they said "Oh well. SORRY, SO SAD WE CAN'T HELP YOU NOW." And now they won't allow us to make our claim on our bag because it was 5 hrs not 4 hrs after flight. This is poor service, lack of respect for people and their items, and on top of it all they broke my daughter's mickey mouse ears in the process of the running my bag over.

    I opened a Frontier credit card when flying with them (so ok.. decent flight one) and quickly accumulated two "free" flights. With the second flight I realised there is nothing free about it!! You have to pay to bring anything larger than a hankie and you can't even get a glass of water without paying for it.. and you pay taxes or fees in addition! On my third flight, there was a 4 hr delay and then the flight was cancelled with no available seats out for 2 days!! And the two days was for the people who were first in the rebooking line! I got out of there as fast as possible and started my 10 hr drive, and calling the Frontier customer service number from the road "cancelled" the whole flight (as I was driving now so would be driving the return trip as well). I was also given a $200 voucher to use with Frontier because of the inconvenience.

    But I at least had a car and was able to make the 10 hr drive and arrive at my destination "on time", there were people at the Frontier gate who were absolutely desperate. AND (!) Frontier didn't initially tell us the flight had been ultimately cancelled, people who had booked through Orbitz were notified first! We had to demand information from the Frontier gate people! So that was a couple of weeks ago.. Preparing now to travel again I took a look at the voucher and saw that it's only good for 90 days which to my mind is inadequate. I called Frontier and after being on hold with various people for an hour, eventually spoke with someone who stated she is "the" supervisor (when I asked to speak to one). She reviewed my account and stated to me "and we (Frontier) "waived" your $180 cancellation fee".. she was referring to the flight that had been cancelled! I couldn't believe that!

    After all of my efforts in pointing out how shoddy and poor and unprofessional and almost downright cruel (people were counting on being able to make it for special personal and professional events and were devastated at the flight cancellation with no ability on Frontier's part to make alternate flight plans for at least two days!!) she had the gall to say "we waived" that fee as if they were being gracious!! There's nothing I could do.. she wouldn't extend my voucher (they'll probably be out of business in three months :-)) and I now have a voucher and frequent flyer miles to use up.. Well, best of luck to those who use Frontier!

Later that evening Brittany advise me that she spoke with someone that is assisting her with locating my bag. The bag was located in Orlando and was schedule to go to Denver, then New Orleans, where I would have been. I was in New Orleans for two (2) days and I did not have my bag.

    I flew back into Atlanta and headed over to the Frontier counter where I met Brittany again. Brittany was shocked that I had not received my bag. Brittany then went to the report she filed and began checking on the location of the bag. Time was against me and there was no information coming in so I left and Brittany assured me that she will work on finding my bag. The next day was Brittany's off-day and she called me all day, giving me updates on the bag. I felt confident that Brittany would find my bag and get it to me.

I never felt so happy and appreciated for the extent that Brittany went to get my bag to me. I did not get upset at any time because Brittany made me feel that I could trust her word and that she would do what it takes to get my bag to me.

    My boyfriend booked a flight with Frontier to fly from Detroit to Portland (layover in Denver) for this weekend. We drove to the airport, he went to use the Kiosk to print his boarding pass, the Kiosk was out of service and said "see attendant" and there were no attendants. There were about a dozen other passengers in the same situation. Lesson #1, pre print your boarding pass. He then called the airline, spoke to a supervisor, and only received a $64 refund (original round trip cost him $400, so guess $200 each way, and only $64 back? They had a lovely $99 change fee. Wonderful. And something like a 10% refund guarantee. Ridiculous.)

    Lesson # 2, either get travel insurance or just figure on the extra cost, count it as a bonus if you wind up not having to spend extra money. He then had to book with Southwest to get to Portland anyway, and that cost him $300 one way. Lesson #3, should have gone with Southwest to begin with. And I suppose one last lesson, make sure you aren't hunting for your keys right before leaving for an airport in the very early morning. Sleep with the keyring around your finger. Overall, neither he nor I will be doing business with this airline ever again. I've decided for cheap flights. I'm gonna stick with Spirit. I've had good experiences with their A La Carte model.

Unfortunately, I went for the checkbook decision and choose to book my flight with them. I went online and choose my flight, but I accidentally choose the wrong return flight and noticed it right when the itinerary popped up on screen. I called right away and the lady told me to just cancel my flight since it was 8 days away and I was within 24 hours of booking and get a refund. I did so and then rebooked right away. Over 2 weeks later they are refusing to give me back 158.10 because they claim the lady misinformed me and I could only get a credit.

    So, finally giving up on this airline, I call to use the credit to upgrade my seat. Instead they state they are having issues letting me turn in credit and to try again in another week. I called back yesterday since my credit still didn't show and the lady on phone informs me if I don't use it in 90 days, I just lose 158.10. It is pure robbery, but when you have employees that hate their company as much as the people that have interacted with me, I'm sure I understand why no one has yet to refund money.

They left the entire plane of people stranded in the airport, people missed weddings, cruises, many did not have the extra money to rebook a brand new flight that day.

    We recently flew on Frontier Airlines that was booked thru Travelocity. Our flight was delayed after we had already reached the airport. After a 12hr delay in Cleveland airport we finally arrived at 10:30 p.m. instead on 9:45 a.m. Frontier said they would compensate us for the delay. Frontier issued us 4 vouchers that had to be used in ninety days. After numerous talks with Frontier with me stating that 90 days is impossible due to our funds and vacation time, they extended the time to use date but took back 2 of the vouchers saying they were wrongly issued. I would say that us losing an entire day of our 5 day vacation is worth more than $200 and I will never fly Frontier again. A waitress in the Cleveland airport told us that this happens with Frontier all the time.

Currently they charge $40.00 per bag per customer whether check-in or carry on. Ridiculous. They charge $2.00 for a soda or juice. Ridiculous. They charge for a snack. Only water is free on your flights. They charge $20.00 for an upgrade to sit in the emergency exit row. What you should do is reward people that sit in that section. New chairs are very uncomfortable and there is no longer any form of video or movie to keep people occupied on your flights.

I'm sure as a company you understand there are reasons for making business decisions and principles behind those decisions.

    Worst experience I have ever had with an airline, hands down. When you board a plane and the first thing you hear is, "The good news is the flight is only 58 minutes, the bad news is the flight is now delayed due to bad weather. We could take off in 15 minutes, or an hour or four hours", you already know it's going to become a headache. Not once was I notified prior to boarding the plane there was even possibly going to be a delay, now we might not even take off. We were provided with options to either stay and wait on the plane or get off. They told us we would not "re-plane" until we took off. Naturally I stayed on the plane to assure the safety of my belongings, also figuring we would take off sooner than later.

    After sitting and waiting for four hours, we were told by other passengers that had just "re-planed" that the flight was now cancelled (so much for 15-minute updates...try every hour). The flight attendants were not only rude but did not care about the passengers. Then when I got off the plane after waiting for hours and asked the flight attendant if I would be refunded, she told me, "I don't know that for sure"....okay, so then why are you working here? The gentleman next to my friend and I asked for drink, she said we could purchase something if we so desired. I have never seen such rudeness and awful customer service.

    Maybe I got refunded for the flight, but I never made it to where I was going. This trip was very important to me, there's no way to compensate my ride for the two hours they drove to the airport to get me... I understand they may not have all the answers, I understand things happen (but after reading a lot of reviews, I understand this is a common occurrence) but delivery is key, and they are in customer service. It was such a let down of an experience all together.

    I seriously advise no one uses this airline. It might seem like a good deal, it's not. You pay a base price for your ticket, then once you check-in, you learn you also pay for your seat and your carry-on bag. (148 dollar flight quickly turned into 230 dollar flight at the end of the day.) This is in no way, shape, or form a "deal". If traveling with a friendly and accommodating airline is something you are interested in, I certainly urge you to reconsider booking with Frontier. I mean hey, by the looks of it, if you want to get where you are going, you might have better luck walking than going with an airlines that cancels flights more than they actually fly.

    Go to the airline counter 50 minutes before the flight was to take off. I had paid for my seat, luggage and had checked in already. All that needed to be done was to have my luggage checked in. When I approached the counter the young man Terrance was playing with girl next to him being very unprofessional. When I approach the front of the line I just looked at them saying to myself how unprofessional they were. I had ask him for a wheelchair - he refused with me then he ask the girl to call one for me. While waiting for the wheelchair he said it is too late to go on that flight. I had 50 minutes before the flight was to leave.

    I had asked him if he would call the gate. He said no and that I should catch the next flight the next day. My meeting was the next day so I lost all of money. I explained to him that I really need to be on that flight. The plane was 20 minutes late which made my total time 1 hour 10 minutes to catch my flight. The mission of this company to treat the customer first with respect. So a little phone call to the gate was not out of the question. I will never ride on this airline again - this would have been my first time. When you add up all of the charges they charge you with you are better riding on Delta or Southwest for domestic flights.

    I want to warn anyone who is thinking about flying with Frontier Airlines to think again. My daughter and her boyfriend were flying into Denver from Minneapolis August 20th away at college which we haven't seen in over a year. Missed their first flight at 6:30 am due to commuting to be charged additional 200 dollars to catch the next flight at 8:30 to be told as loading the plane to pay additional 120 for their carry-ons which they were not informed of at all... To miss that plane because the agent couldn't explain themselves efficiently and they were told if they did it online it would be cheaper but wouldn't wait for them to do that so they shut the doors. So after all this no one would help them at all with refund or transferring the 200 fee to the next flight 10 hrs away or to waive the bag fee. People need to be informed of all these fees if there is any beforehand... Not as they are getting on a flight.

    They paid 400 in something for tickets and then additional 200 not to even be on that flight because Frontier wanted another 120 for baggage. So now wanting to see family they cancelled their hotel so they can pay an additional 200 to get on the next plane 10 hrs away since Frontier will not refund any of the money they have put towards their trip and still have to pay for bags. Horrible horrible. They will never I will never and I will make sure to pass on that no one ever travels for this poor excuse of an airline. Money hungry pieces of crap.

    I'm going to take this as a "you get what you pay for" lesson. While shopping for tickets I noticed that Frontier offered the best price with the lowest overall travel time. My joy from this quickly dwindled on flight day. Boarding started on time at 12:45pm, but was interrupted by some issue (Apparently they weren't fully ready. They didn't check beforehand?). So the desk attendees made us wait to board for 15 minutes. 15 minute delay.

    When we were finally able to board, everyone got to their seats and we were ready for take off... Nope! We sat there for about 20 minutes before the pilot finally announced there was an issue with the plane. We were told the problem would be fixed. Add another 15 minutes, they announced that the problem couldn't be fixed so everyone needed to get off the plane (luggage and all) so it could be shut down. 50 minute delay.

    So we got off the plane and waited for the next update. Communication of the issue was minimal. After being told repeatedly every 10-15 minutes that the issue would take longer, we were finally told that we'd need to wait until 5:40pm for our next flight. Crazy! As you can imagine, many passengers were upset with this. I'm lucky I didn't have a connecting flight. I decided to wait until 5:40pm.

    The replacement plane arrived on time which was great, however I immediately noticed how filthy it was upon boarding. There were food crumbs all on the seats and the carpeted was decorated with gum and stains. I realize they were probably rushing, but this was a very unsettling sight. Overall the air stewardess were okay, but I witnessed one of them yelling at a passenger like a toddler telling him to sit down. Now I know adults don't always listen, but really? I thought that was unnecessary. This was my first and last time with Frontier. They need a lot of work. From the looks of others' reviews on here, I'm not the only one with this sentiment. Great price, but not worth the hassle.

    Frontier lures you in with an affordable ticket price, only to gouge you everywhere else so that the total price is just as expensive, if not more so than many competitors. After you purchase your ticket, you then pay for your seat selection (which is apparently not included in your ticket price), all bags (whether checked or carried on, there's a fee), and then incidental charges like, gee, a Coke on your 3+ hr flight. On top of the deceiving cost structure, service is horrible. On a flight from Philadelphia to Houston, the airplane's inside window fell off on top of our 1 year old's head, and the flight attendant just said, "Oh, thanks," and took the plane parts with her to the front of the plane. Then, we experienced a very scary and lengthy wobbling of the airplane during descent, and the pilot never came over the intercom to either warn us of it ahead of time or explain it afterward. We fly enough to know that it was not normal turbulence.

    And finally, we deboarded at Houston and our 1 year old's car seat went to Denver, along with several other customer's car seats. Spent 2+ hrs at the airport trying to figure out how to get home because there was not one Frontier employee to be found, even after we had one paged, and the airport's baggage office was closed. This is at 9 pm. We were left to figure it out for ourselves, and the telephone representatives were worthless. Completely unacceptable! Received our car seat a week and a half later and damaged. Never will I ever fly Frontier again. First and last time.

    On flight 424, Denver to Atlanta on 8/17/15, due to bad weather in ATL we were forced to land in Knoxville TN some 200 miles away. We were due in to ATL at 7PM. Finally landed in Knoxville after 8PM and deplaned. After a 90 minute delay during which time we were told to retrieve our luggage and return to a now empty ticket area, we were told that there would be buses arriving to drive the 4 hours to Atlanta. Also part of the customer service team announcement was the ruling that there would be no hotel voucher for the night, no compensation for those who rented cars to complete the trip to Atlanta, and no flights out in the morning. There were no Frontier flights from Knoxville. Also, the continuing flight to Cleveland OH, the flight's end destination was cancelled. Either get on the bus or you were out of luck.

    The 4-hour drive would have brought people to Atlanta after 2AM in the morning. Cleveland passengers would have had to arrive in Atlanta in the middle of the night, find a hotel, and get to the airport the next morning and book a flight to Cleveland. Living in Atlanta, we take the train to the airport. Unfortunately, the train stops running at 1 AM. When asked whether Frontier would compensate us for a cab ride home, the response was a sarcastic eye roll. We chose to rent a car and drove home. The magical buses had not arrived when we left after 10PM (Still waiting to hear whether we will be compensated for the rental). EVERY Frontier employee we dealt with has been horrible. This is the last Frontier flight I will ever take. And sadly not the first while flying Frontier. Shame on me.

    Aug 3rd flight from Las Vegas to Orlando (>4 hour flight): $30 fee for carry on & $20 fee for checked luggage before arrival to airport, additional $10 fee for each if pay at airport. For 2nd checked luggage is an additional $10 plus initial fee. If a seat is not purchased at time of check-in & if you do not pay the fee (range $16-$50), you will more than likely be seated in the middle seat at the back of the plane. Seats are very uncomfortable in the $16 range seating. Seats do not recline or move. The tray is large enough for a bag of chips & drink, if you do not move. Almost impossible to watch a movie on a 15" laptop (those "comfort" seats cost $50. Comfort seats are equivalent to other airline standard seat). Packed like sardines in a small can. Miserable!

    If you do not purchase a seat, you are served the complimentary cup of ice water last. No complimentary snacks or drinks, not even a cup of coffee. No entertainment (movie/radio), & during this flight, little warm air circulating on high setting. Drinks & snacks with inflated charges; no cash, only credit card payments. Website for check-in is user unfriendly. Fees generate without purchase. Confusing to navigate the attempt to correct. When attempted to check luggage at airport, was declined check luggage until conflicts resolved (automatic fees on-line).

    Was handed a phone, on hold for another 15 minutes before a long discussion & placed on hold again until conflicts resolved. Staff have a flat, uncaring affect. No apology for inconvenience.

    My husband, our three year old and I booked a flight from IAD to DTW in order to go to a family reunion. We were so excited because we had not seen some of our family members in over five years and therefore they had not even met my son yet. My sister also flew in from out West which is rare these days as she is in Nursing school and works full time as well. We live in Virginia Beach so we got a hotel room Thursday night in order to be at the airport on time Friday morning. Our flight was scheduled for 10:20 a.m arriving at 11:40 a.m. We were told the flight was going to be delayed one hour, as there were storms in DTW (Though not according to the radar).

    After an hour passed we were further delayed and told it would be two hours, this time the plane was on the way from Chicago. After the two hours had passed we were told the flight would be at 2:23 p.m. Still no plane from Chicago I guess. Finally the flight was cancelled. I guess the plane crashed or was more likely never coming. Instead of assisting us and the many others that had paid their money and spent their time waiting for the flight they already paid for Frontier offered either a refund for just the amount spent on the ticket or we could find our own flights with other airlines and pay for them and then hope to be reimbursed within thirty days! These are the two lamest options I have ever heard of.

    For one thing, a refund for the amount I spent does not even closely make up for the fact that I am not able to see my family nor for the time I sat in the airport waiting, trying to keep a three year old happy, in addition to my husband and I taking that day off of work, driving three hours each way and paying for a hotel. If I would have known that morning I could have taken the time I wasted and started driving. My husband and I are both regional managers of an apartment community and we do not have the ability to take off at the drop of a hat.

    Beware of the rip-off fees. The ticket price was cheap, and as my Grandma said "you get what you pay for!" From New Orleans to Denver I carried a bag on (no charge), after checking in the night before, and choosing to have a random seat instead of paying an extra $13 to choose a seat. The plane was standard with standard seats and tray tables. For the return portion of my round trip ticket, it was a nightmare. These folks are after every penny they can rip you off for. 45 minutes before the takeoff time, they called anyone who had a carry-on up to the desk, and had not paid while checking in. (Why does the site allow you to move forward if you being charged for every bag, including carry-ons, that fit the required measurements?)

    I was charged $60 for a small bag, and when the 40 or so people in the line complained we were told very abrasively, we could pay or stay on the ground. There was 1 employee trying to handle all the people who would need to pay and only when we collectively complained and asked for a supervisor did they bring another person out. That person was extremely rude, and when I asked for her name she refused to give it. The family behind had checked in at the main Frontier counter, had boarding passes printed for them there, and were not charged for bags. They had to cough up $240 at the counter 20 minutes before flight departure to board the plane. Once on the plane, I sat down in a seat with no padding - looks like they removed any cushion whatsoever, and replaced it with a piece of material. The tray table is half the size of those on a regular plane.

    Not to worry, because don't expect peanuts or a beverage. The cup of water I'd begrudgingly been provided (a bottle of it is $2) came with a napkin that was suggested could be used for a ear plugs and an eye shade. Really! I took a picture. I'm surprised they don't charge for ice! I will NEVER fly this airline again. That same napkin touts the airline as one where you can "pick your seat, and avoid high fees." That's a lie. Pick your seat for extra money, and pay for any bag. (Who the heck travels without a bag!) They say they send you an email reminding you of fees - I never received an email, and when I even read the baggage information on the website (to assure that my bag was within their rules for carry on) I still didn't get that I would need to pay for ANY bag. I think their tactics are very deceptive, and their statements (pick your seat, avoid high fees) are outright lies.

We had just traveled from New Orleans to Atlanta on Frontier Airlines and were easily able to fit it in the overhead bin and at check in it was approved for carry on. The staff at the gate refused to let it go on board. We were told we had to leave it at the gate check and it would be waiting for us at the doors when we arrived. When we arrived the guitar case was thrashed. Every single latch was bent and the seams were breaking. When we opened the case, the metal selector switch had been snapped off. This is a $2,000 guitar.

    We filled out forms for the damage and are waiting to hear back to see what will be done about it. After reading up on the law it is clear that this airline did not act in accordance with the law. By law, airlines must allow a guitar to be taken as a carry on provided it fits in the overhead bins and there is room in the overhead bins. Frontier Airlines did not obey this law.

    I have had multiple horrible experiences with Frontier and every year they get worse. In May 2015 my son and I flew from NY to Colorado on one of their "slim line" planes. Worst experience ever. The seats are uncomfortable, no recline, no padding, and very narrow. My son, age ten and not that big, couldn't get comfortable either. No TVs or entertainment either. I really thought an airline couldn't be worse than Spirit, but Frontier has far surpassed them in terms of just overall genuinely not caring about their customers, at all. I have never been on a plane full of so many angry and sore people by the time we got off that flight.

    Flew my son down from Denver to Dallas and found that in addition to the insulting $25-$40 bag fee (varies on how you pay), but there was an EXTRA charge for a STANDARD seat. Not an upgrade pseudo comfortable seat, but their regular below average comfort seat. No TV or wi-fi on the plane either. Then, to top it off, his bag didn't make it, like at all. Not late, or on the next flight--just plain GONE. Frontier was supposed to give a tracking number, but nothing. No follow up, no expense coverage which was promised, nothing. My son literally has the clothes on his back and NOTHING else. I vowed I would never fly Frontier again, and I won't . Frontier used to be a decent airline, but now they are a shameless, greedy, incompetent, rude airline that will hopefully go out of business sooner rather than later.

    My wife and I booked round trip airfare tickets from Indy to PDX Oregon July the 11, return Aug 5. My wife called 2 days ahead of time to see where our seats were going to be. We were charged 72.00 dollars extra because we asked for our seat assignments. My wife had been sick so we thought we could take a little time and not be in a rush. My wife is handicapped. The seats we were assigned were nothing special, all the seats were the same the airlines. So the next time we should not ask for seating ahead of time. If we would not have asked, we would not have been charged. What a rip off! Welcome aboard Frontier Airlines.

    Our bag was lost on a direct flight. This is day three after the flight and they have not called or emailed us with any information. The number they gave us to call about the lost bag no one ever answered. I was on the phone with customer service for almost 2 HOURS. I spoke with 4 different representatives and no one helped. They kept transferring me and then one hung up on me. Nothing was resolved and they refused to connect me with a supervisor. All the phone calls have been a waste of time, time I should be spending on vacation with my family. I will not be flying Frontier again.

    So the day before my flight that I booked three weeks prior, I got an email stating "Good news!!! It's almost time to fly!!!" And a hyper link in the email to check in now. The following morning at 7:15, I clicked the hyper link to check in at home and print my boarding pass. I did the exact same process two days earlier on another airline and the process was seamless. So I continued to check in and added a bag for $25, picked my seats and put in my credit card info. Clicked all the other required fields and submitted. Got a confirmation for both myself and wife. Immediately got two emails showing reservation confirmed and paid.

    This is where things started going bad. After the confirmation, it did not have a link to print the boarding pass. Other pop up screens on their website were not fully showing and was difficult to find where to click. Not a good website. So off to the airport with both confirmations and no boarding pass that I could find to print. I get to the airport with about an hour to spare. I was flying out of Orlando and didn't need two hours to get through security and get to the gate due to the small size of the airport. I get in line at the front desk to check in my one bag. There was one customer at the counter and no one else but me in line. Four representatives were all staring at one computer "trying" to help one customer.

    After I stood in line by myself for 20 minutes, the other customer left and I stepped forward. I was immediately greeted in a rude manner and felt like I was bothering them. Told them I needed to check my bag for Atlanta. With an attitude, I was told I was too late and missed my flight. Then there was an awkward stare off. Guess they wanted to see my response. So I said, I still have 40 minutes to get to the gate. Again, this is a small airport and I could have got to the gate in 10 minutes. They ALL just repeated it was too late. I showed them the email confirmations on my phone from 3 hours prior when I clicked the "check in now" hyperlink. Women behind the counter didn't even look and said I would have to reschedule for another day, or call a number on a little cut up piece of paper she handed me. They all pretty much walked away after that and started speaking Spanish to each other with a tone and look of disgust.

    Being a non-Spanish speaking person, I have no idea what they said, but I know what they were saying. I walked over to a bench and called the number on the sheet of paper. I was told that's their policy and could change or cancel my flight. Even though I "checked in" from the email they sent me, it showed nothing on their end. I could not change flights, so I said I would request a refund. Then she told me its $100 refund fee per person. Our tickets were only $65 per person. Not too smart. It would be nice if the people behind the counter and on the phone, had a tiny bit of common sense. I ended up just eating the cost of the flights and had to rent a car and drive back to Atlanta. DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE!!! You've been warned. Good luck.

    I am not a frequent flyer at all. This trip was my second ever and I'm 37. I was flying from Atlanta to Las Vegas. Our flight was at 7:30am, left Greenville, SC at 3:30 am. Upon arrival at Hartsfield-Jackson airport, no signs were available for parking. Found parking and went in to check our bags, 40 minutes before boarding, not departure. We were told, quite rudely, that we were 5 minutes late to check in. After going over all of this, we were told it was company policy to check in 45 minutes before boarding. We double checked paperwork and emails and there is nothing about this "policy".

    So, 9 hours later we depart with stops in Indianapolis and Denver. While in Denver, we were delayed 20 minutes to wait for other passengers. I was 5 minutes late in Atlanta but I have to wait 20 minutes in Denver? The flight was horrible - uncomfortable seats, rude flight attendants and I have to pay for snacks. Snacks? Really? Flight back was not any better except that it was a direct flight straight to Atlanta. Once again, different flight attendants, still rude. For a midnight flight with 95% of the passengers asleep, the attendants moved quite a bit. I was awakened 3 different times. Twice by getting bumped with a food cart, once by a trash bag. The only part of the actual "traveling" that wasn't a headache was Atlanta traffic. I do NOT recommend Frontier to anyone traveling anywhere. It is the cheapest but that is all. You get what you pay for. This has ruined me from flying for a while, with anyone.

    I had a credit with Frontier Airlines that I was needed to apply to a flight. Apparently the "Apply Frontier Credit Here" button didn't work, because it never booked my flight online. I even had an agent on the phone walk me through the process until it was done. I didn't know the flight wasn't booked until I got to the ticket counter. At that point, I had to buy 2 one way tickets to my destination, and 2 one way tickets back home. They did not take into account that the reason I had to buy extra tickets was due to a website malfunction. Essentially, the flight cost 50% more than I anticipated, and I had to extend my trip an extra 4 days to get flights home that I could afford. This budget-flying experience cost me more than 2 first class tickets on a more reputable airline. Never again.

    My typical airline is Delta or Southwest, but Frontier happened to have a cheaper fare for my Atlanta - Denver flight. I arrived at the airport just over an hour before my flight which was very early in the morning. I had no bags to check and I figured it would be a brief swipe at the kiosk and I'd be on my way. I had no idea that Frontier has a 45 minute cut-off where they refuse to print boarding passes after that time, forcing you to miss your flight. The kiosk refused my information and wouldn't let me check in.. I waited in line and watched the 45 minute timeline arrive and pass. By the time I got to the counter they refused to give me my boarding pass and suggested that I book the next flight at 8:10am.

    Frustrated, I called the airline with the number provided by the staff and was told it would be $100 to move me to the next flight.. Plus, Frontier charges a $40 carry on fee??? I'm used to paying $25 for my checked bag with Delta, which is why I made the effort to do only carry-on luggage this trip. The woman on the phone told me the next flight would leave Atlanta at 8pm. I corrected her and told her there was a flight leaving shortly at 8:10am... She seemed flustered but finally booked me. I guess it was confusing because it had a brief connection in Cincinnati? I moved back over to the counter where there was no line and asked for my boarding pass. It was 1 hour before the flight. The staff told me the 45 minute window had closed again. Patiently, I told them I had gotten off the phone seconds ago and the woman told me that it was still "open" and that they could print my boarding pass.

    I also alerted them to the actual time. "Oh" was the response! Do they have any clue the extent of the inconvenience they cause by simply not using their few active brain cells?? They printed my boarding pass - never once mentioning that my original flight had been delayed to 8:45; thereby saving me $100 and the stress and hassle of dealing with their ineptitude. Their flight attendants are very sweet and I have nothing bad to say about them, but the staff that books flights and checks people is a study in illiteracy.

    I have never been so frustrated with an airline in my life. I've never written a scathing review on anything before now! Sorry Frontier, but you've lost my business, my future husband's business, all my family, every friend that I relay this story to. Your nickel-and-dime antics and lack of service will eventually earn you what you deserve - bankruptcy. I hope you go under in the near future so that no one has the misfortune of dealing with your "service" center.

    After reading the reviews online, I was quite skeptical about flying with Frontier, and considered changing my flight to a better-known airline. I'm very happy I didn't! I flew Frontier MIA-LGA 8/2. The security process was quick, check in was seamless, and the flight itself was very comfortable. The stewardesses on board were very professional, courteous, and pleasant. Our flight left on time, and arrived 10min early. The process for seat selection & baggage selection was clear and simple, although it is where they get you with the extra fees. My only gripe is paying to bring a carry on. Overall, I'd recommend this airline for anyone looking to book a quick flight for a good price.

    Frontier Airlines are crooks. When booking the flights for my 6 year old daughter and I, my 80 year old mother did not see the tiny fine (under lighted) print at the very bottom of the page that says "baggage". They do not inform you ANYWHERE that you are not allowed carry on luggage on the airplane. Horrible trick for all, especially elders that are booking! When myself and my 6 year old arrived with her Dora bag (15"x11"x6.5") and my daypack that rolls (17"x13"x6") they stopped us and would not allow us on the airplane unless we paid $120.00 ($60. for each small item.) Meanwhile others with larger items were allowed to roll on in!

    I was very upset, as were many other passengers, that they were stopping us and not others. Several passengers stood with me and argued with Frontier as to why they could go in and we could not, and our bags were smaller than theirs. The Frontier robot-man said that he would "make notes" and I could call Frontier at when I got to my destination and ask for a credit. He gave me a small white piece of paper with a Frontier's number and website on it. When we arrived to SFO I immediately went to the ticket counter and told them the situation and also had them "make notes" on their computer and reassured me that it was wrong that he charged me for the carry on's that were small.

    I called Frontier just today (Monday after returning) and spoke to 3 "supervisors", that were so unhelpful and act like a brainwashed cult. They found NO "notes" for anyone and said that they could not credit me because there were none. I then called our departure airport and tried to speak with someone but they all said they could not help me and put me on endless holds. They have voicemail that you have to leave your name and number on so that they can choose to call you back or not. FRONTIER AIRLINES NEEDS TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS!

    FIRST OF ALL THEY CHARGE RIDICULOUS FEES FOR LUGGAGE. THIS MADE THE FLIGHT NOT SO CHEAP AT ALL! RIDICULOUS!!! On 7/31/15 (my return flight), I arrived at Cleveland Hopkins Airport at 2:15 P.M. For a 4:30 P.M. Flight. Checking the luggage was easy and even going through security was fine. It was when I arrived at the gate that the problems began. After waiting about an hour, I took medication, so that I could relax during the flight. Four o'clock came and we still had not boarded the flight (Flight 1389). The passengers from the incoming plane had arrived and exited and we were still sitting. Then we were told that there was a mechanical issue with the plane. Of course, I don't mind the delay because I do not want to fly on an unsafe plane. We were initially told that the delay would be until 6:00. We were told we could leave the gate, but to be back at 7:00.

    As soon as most of the people left, they offered lunch vouchers. Seems they would have offered that before half the people walked away. When 6:00 came, we were told the delay would be extended until 8:00. I called Frontier Airlines to inquire about a partial refund and I was given some explanation that I did not quite understand. I hung up not knowing if I was getting a partial refund or not. I decided to speak with the ladies at the kiosk when I understood perfectly clearly that I would not be receiving a discount despite this inconvenience. I was pissed and felt this was unfair and unacceptable. I began wondering what kind of tacky airline had selected and trusted with me and my daughter’s lives. Supposedly, the plane struck a bird or more and since that is an act of God, they would not reimburse us. Truthfully, they could have told us anything. We don't know the TRUE reason for the delay.

    Finally after 10:00 we boarded the flight. I noticed the plane looked a bit old and slightly unkempt. We prayed and due to exhaustion, we fell fast asleep. I'd say about 90 minutes into the flight, the plane violently dipped what felt like 1000 feet. The pilot nor the flight attendants apologized nor did they offer an explanation. We continued to experience extreme turbulence and I noticed the passengers looked unnerved, just as I was. The plane felt completely unstable. Then, the cabin lights suddenly came on with no explanation and I think everyone was waiting for the masks to deploy. Finally, the plane landed. There was no explanation nor apology for anything. I will NEVER fly this airline again EVER! WHAT A RIPOFF AND A COMPLETELY SCARY EXPERIENCE.

    After boarding flight 506 from Denver, CO to New York, NY, I quickly noticed that this 4-5 hour flight had no entertainment what-so-ever. Then, when I arrived to my seat (6F on an Airbus A320) I noticed that they were almost solely plastic and vinyl, which caused chronic back pain. Not only were they unable to recline, the tray was only able to accommodate a small bag of crisps. Next, I attempted to take a look at the menu in the miniscule pouch, only to find nothing... at all.

    This flight was a 10:30 flight, and landed at 3, so you would expect to be served a lunch, wrong. The only edible food items they sold were sized for an infant, and costed a fortune. Yet again, you would expect a complimentary drink with the expensive ticket you bought - wrong again. And to put the final nail in the coffin, when I arrived at the baggage claim area, I was notified that the flights checked bags had disappeared, and had to wait 30-45 minutes to claim my luggage. (Keep in mind that I flew United Airlines to Denver on the same plane, yet did not experience these complications.) I will never fly with Frontier Airlines ever again, and neither should you.

It was delayed for 3 and a half hours. Conveniently it was delayed just under 4hrs - that way you won't waste your money on vouchers to feed us while we wait. Also you have no frontier representatives at the counter - that way they won't be able to help us since they are only trained to give out boarding passes and handle our luggage.

    Never fly Frontier. The following is a message I tried to send them but their contact form is limited to 800 characters and I couldn't possibly edit my experience that much. Please read and be careful! I want to write this email to express my deep disappointment and disgust at the actions of Frontier Airlines and the Atlanta Police Department. I witnessed an event that left myself and at least seven other witnesses appalled and very uncomfortable.

    The following event occurred at gate D3 of the Atlanta Hartford Airport, I believe it was flight number 730 going to Denver, departing at around 7:45 pm on Monday June 15th. The gate agent involved was named Mandy but would not give her last name. I was sitting waiting for flight number 705 to depart to New Orleans. By the way, my own flight was delayed by 3.5 hours and ended up being cancelled after hours of waiting, with very little options or customer care offered by rude employees. Anyway, I was waiting for my flight when myself and others waiting for the same flight took notice of an incident occurring at the neighboring gate D3.

    We began paying attention as we heard a young woman becoming upset at the flight desk as everyone else had boarded the airplane and she was being refused entry. We could hear the gate agent, who was being extremely rude, explain to the young woman that the pilot of the plane had witnessed her at an airport bar and claimed that she was too drunk to fly. The woman had been at the desk for a while conversing with the agent before she became visibly upset at the treatment she was receiving. We could hear every word she said and she never slurred her speech, staggered in walking, or demonstrated any signs whatsoever of too much intoxication.

    She was speaking clearly and advocating for herself in a reasonable manner. She became upset, as anyone in their right mind would who wants to go home and isn't allowed entry to a flight that they have paid for. She simply wanted an explanation for why she was being refused access to her flight, and was upset because she had to work at 7am in Denver and there really was no good reason apparent to us why she was being treated this way by the agent and I suppose the pilot as well.

    I have seen people get on flights who are much more visibly intoxicated than she was. People drink to get over fear of flying, they drink for pleasure before flying. There are hotel bars for a reason and alcohol on the airplanes themselves for a reason and any adult is legally allowed to consume alcohol within reason. This woman seemed well within reason. I have never seen anyone denied entry to a flight because they had a few beers at the airport bar beforehand. While we were witnessing her begin to cry at the absurdity of the situation, a man walked up near us and recognized her. He asked us what was happening and said that he had been sitting near her at the bar and that she had done nothing out of the ordinary to explain this situation.

    He said that her volume of voice was slightly louder than normal but that she seemed like someone with a boisterous voice anyway, and that she was in no way acting inappropriate. As the woman started to cry, the gate agent said she was going to have to call security. The woman said clearly, "I hope you do because this is insane." Two police officers stepped out of the plane, walkway a minute later and she tried to reason with them. It was heartbreaking to watch, because she said clearly and as calmly as she could, "I know that they are telling you I am too drunk, I am not drunk. I know that crying makes me look bad to you but I am just so upset and this situation and just want to get home."

    She seemed caught in a trap of misunderstanding and all of us watching could clearly see that this was just not right or reasonable in any way. The police officers lead her to the walkway of the plane, seeming like they were going to allow her on the flight but then we realized they were just removing her from the area. The next thing we all saw was them leading her down the outside stairs, HANDCUFFING her and putting her in the back of a police car and driving her away!!! It was honestly so insanely out of proportion and I could not believe my eyes.

    Instead of going home on her booked flight, this poor young woman was being arrested and driven to the Atlanta police department for enjoying time before her flight with a few beers at the airport bar like everyone else does all the time. I have no idea what happened to her afterwards, but I just wanted to express my understanding of the situation as a witness and my horror at the treatment of customers by Frontier Airlines.

    My entire experience with Frontier was appalling. I will be recommending to everyone I know to never book with Frontier after what I witnessed and subsequently endured with my own flight cancellation and utter lack of customer care or flexibility. I hope that the woman was able to get home but I'm sure she is traumatized by the event.

Thought it was a cheap flight but only to find out they nickel and dime you the rest of the way. $7 each way per person to reserve a seat, $30/checked bag, and then charge you $1.99 for any type of beverage excluding alcoholic beverages. Those were obviously at a much higher price. But I have never been on an airline where they charged you for a soft drink, tea or coffee. Ridiculous. To top it off, we were delayed for hours there and back. On the way there, hadn't eaten anything except for breakfast and they only offered us a cup of water and a granola bar. Had the audacity to still charge you for any other items. Arrived at D.C. 2am when we were supposed to arrive at 4:55pm.

    My 15 year old granddaughter took her 1st flight by herself to MSP/PDX with no problems. She was scheduled to return on 7/28 at 6:30 PM and transfer in Denver with about 1 hour layover. Her father checked the schedule and found 1st a few minute delay and then a 1 hour delay, getting in to Denver after the PDX flight left. Her uncle who she was visiting got on the phone for nearly 45 minutes and finally got a supervisor. Their response was she can sleep in the airport and get the 1st flight on the 29th. That was VERY UNACCEPTABLE so he was able to convince the supervisor to change her flight until 6AM 7/29. Her father again checked and found that flight #335 was going to also be delayed 1 hour. That left her 10 minutes to change planes. I panicked and called the airlines.

    I got a nice rep who on his own contacted his supervisor and she approved a computer reservation on the 2nd flight of the day. Thank goodness Ashley found out they would hold the flight in Denver and her gate was next to the one she came in on. I have never known of such goings on and to only have 3 flights a day to PDX. It also seemed like the 1st reps didn't care that it was a 15 year old GIRL traveling alone and that sleeping overnight was something that was done all the time. I would be careful about booking Frontier and spend a little more money for a better airlines and she will not fly them next year and Grandma will NEVER fly Frontier.

    My ordeal with Frontier Airlines. Date of Incident: 7/28/2015. Time: 7:45 PM. Location: Chicago ORD airport, Frontier help desk. I was travelling to Chicago for some business work and was suppose to get back to San Francisco for a important client meeting on 7/28, plus that's where my residence is. I was suppose to board a flight from ORD to SFO on 7/27 operated by flight number F91245. I had checked in a day earlier and I was assigned a seat as well. I don't believe in paper boarding passes as I think that's wastage of paper, so like always I download the boarding pass on my phone.

    My boarding was suppose to start at 8:10 PM and flight was at 8:45 PM. I was at the security gate by 7:40 and when I reached the TSA screening, I scanned the boarding pass on my phone and it started flashing red, so the TSA officer said that maybe I should get a paper boarding pass, so I went back to the Frontier desk. I asked them to print me a boarding pass and the gentleman on the other end of the desk said that the flight is oversold and that he cannot print me a boarding pass. I told him that I am already checked in and I just need a copy of boarding pass to get past the security check. The guy said that he spoke to his supervisor and they cannot let anyone through. I am a frequent flyer and I know that if the flight is oversold, you can request people if they want to get on the next flight but not force anyone.

    I requested him to let me talk to his supervisor, as I don't live on Chicago and staying there an extra night means I have to spend more for the hotel and transportation but he wasn't listening. By this time, I knew that I couldn't make it for the flight so I asked him for options and he told me that he can book me on the next day flight and I will have to pay $99 rebooking fee - wth? Funny thing (and yes I am saying funny because it was so ridiculous), there was another passenger with the same situation and this guy - the Frontier representative, was telling her that she will not have to pay for rebooking and only since I was discussing with him, I had to pay. He kept on saying that this is company policy and when I asked him to show me some paperwork, he casually pulled up the drawers and said that he doesn't have any paperwork.

    I couldn't take it anymore and asked that either let me talk to his supervisor or call cops, to which he said that "I will call the cops." I said "That's fine and I am not moving from here till I speak to the cops." After about a 15 min wait the cops came and the supervisor also came. I explained them the situation and the cop completely agreed with me that they cannot charge you rebooking fee and he booked me on the next flight - which is after 24 hrs. I asked the supervisor if it's a company policy to charge customers $99 or rebooking a flight when the fault is on their end and she said that it was their fault and they apologize.

    So after 1 hr of intense discussions, after 1 hr of utmost inhospitality I have ever seen, what I got was just booked on the next flight which was 24 hrs later with no compensation for boarding or additional transportation cost. Now I am not asking for any monetary compensation nor I want anyone fired, all I need is for Frontier Airlines to own up that it was their fault and for that Frontier representative to understand that standing on the other side of the desk doesn't give him power, they are meant to help people and when such situations arise. The one thing customers appreciate most is good service.

    I could have recorded the whole thing on my phone and upload it on social media or I could have made that representatives details public but I don't want to because I understand people get nervous and do things which they regret, so please take this as a lesson and the next time you have such situation be polite and try to help the customer because that's what your job is - CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. The Chicago police department should have a case recorded for this incident.

    My girlfriend and I flew round trip from Orlando to Denver. Our departing flight to DEN left and arrived on time, although we were irked by the fact we were solicited to pay (a rather steep price too) for items that are usually complimentary on every other airline I have flown ($6 to watch tv, $2 for a soda, $3 for a bag of peanuts, etc.). This made us feel very undervalued and kind of like peasants, even though we'd still paid over $750 for both tickets. Nevertheless, we arrived in Denver on time and that flight wasn't too miserable.

    The return flight is when I went from 'dissatisfied' to enraged. We boarded on time, and were forced to sit on the plane for an extra hour, while it sat at the gate. Then during flight, my girlfriend and I (and everyone around us) noticed a sketchy and very annoying hissing noise coming from the ceiling, which persisted throughout the flight. I could hear it through my headphones even with music all the way up and couldn't sleep (it was a red-eye flight). We were once again given a sales pitch (via the intercom) for overpriced snacks/drinks and tv privileges, and before noticing our seats did not recline. All in all, it was the worst flight I've ever had the shame to experience. Never again.

    Arrived at the airport 1 hour prior to flight (due to incorrect signage at O'Hare) with boarding pass in hand, having checked in at the hotel and printed the pass. Had already paid to check my bag, so stood in the line to drop off my bag, as one does with a "real" airline. Sadly, the kiosks for Frontier were "down," so everyone who was trying to print a boarding pass and was unable to was ALSO in that line. The result was that when I arrived at the agent, the flight was "closed." How can that be when I had a boarding pass? I was told I could be put on a flight the next day and could pay for the process! I was so angry I spent $75 and 50,000 frequent flyer miles on my usual airline to just get home the same day. 50,000 frequent flyer miles would usually have gotten me two round trip tickets.

    My friend traveling with me and I were separated during the chaos at the check in/security line/TSA security line/baggage transport area, so her luggage WAS checked in. However, due to unannounced gate change, she missed the flight. Isn't that against some kind of terrorism regulations, that the bag goes on a flight but the passenger does not? This is dangerous. It isn't just that the Frontier Airlines personnel seemed to be enjoying the chaos and had no interest in helping any stranded passengers, but more serious, this airline is in violation of security regulations. Who can I complain to about that? Needless to say I would take a Greyhound Bus rather than ever book with Frontier Airlines again. At least you know how much the trip will cost you in advance.

    I officially HATE Frontier! The fees for baggage are insane, seats are extremely uncomfortable and customer service is the WORST! I missed my 10:15 am flight from Philadelphia to Miami because of the incompetent check in staff. Girl at check in at PHL, Shaquay (sp?), had my group of 6 plus 2 other people stand aside for 30 mins only to tell us that we missed our bag check in time. We wouldn't have missed it if we weren't told to stand aside and wait. She looked extremely overwhelmed with such an easy task. We all checked in online, all she had to do was take our luggage and print our boarding passes. She then gave us a 1-800 number to call to attempt to book another flight for an extra $100 fee.

    We called the stupid number and were told there were no other flights going to Miami that day. Instead of us wasting time calling which wasn't an easy task because they give you the run around, why couldn't she have told us?! We ended up buying a flight with US Airways/AA who have been more than accommodating and when we explained the situation to them, they said this isn't the first time something like this has happened with Frontier. Customer service people on the phone were just as bad. One of the supervisors hung up the phone while we were filing a complaint. Do yourself a favor, pay a little more and fly with an airline who cares about their customers.

    My name is Jessie ** and my husband and I had a flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas leaving from the 23rd to the 27th of July 2015. We were to depart on Thu 23rd of July 2015 at 8:40 pm. On the 23rd they caused us to miss our flights because they refused to honor what they informed us about our checked bag. We were told we get one free bag check in as a veteran as well. It is recorded and was told to us 2x. We had to pay an additional $150 to get on the flight the next evening. I called and complained and they issued us 4 $25 vouchers. The next day we were checking on 2 hours early and they still charged us for our bag. We paid it because we did not want to miss this flight. We were then told 10 minutes before take off that the flight was delayed 4 hours. While everyone is upset, we are hanging in there. Everyone is calling "customer service" to complain and get a voucher as well.

    One employee gets into an argument with a passenger and tells her she will call the cops. A baggage guy that works for the airport starts making jokes about our delay and how the people the day before handled it better and they had a 10 hour delay. The manager on duty another employee as well as the baggage guy starts making jokes and laughing in our faces as if the additional 4 hour delay is not irritating everyone. It's a direct mockery in everyone's faces. My husband tells them that they are messed up for laughing at people's in their faces and I start to call "customer service" describing the incident and the employees. They retaliated and kicked us off the flight at 10:30 before the plane got there because the employee was walking around talking and saying "some people are not getting on this flight".

    Then she threatened us by saying "I'm from Brooklyn and I don't turn up or show up" (something to that effect). While we are getting ready to board they said we were not flying and it shocked us. I feel because I called and complained in front of them (I made about 7 calls due to their actions) for them to see how unprofessional they were acting. The plane got there at 11:55pm and boarding was 12:30am. They knew and deliberately placed our bag to Vegas as a retaliation. We called and placed another complaint. We were told our bags would arrive at our home in the morning because it would arrive at the airport at 5am. We called to check on it at 11am. We went to the airport and was told that it didn't leave Vegas and they didn't know where it was. We had a wedding to go to that I was in which they ruined. We still do not have our bags which has valuables inside.

    This has been by far the worst experience ever and I have flown a lot. They have a bunch of kids working for this airline that have no class and customer service. I have yet to hear from anyone from our terrible experience. I want a complete refund of my expenses and loss from the hotel reservation. I will follow through and contact an attorney for the threat that was made against us and the stress, mental anguish they put us through.

    Boarded flight from Detroit to Denver, full flight. As soon as everyone was on board, they deplaned us, citing mechanical issues and that there would be a one hour delay. I was immediately concerned because I only had a one hour layover in Denver to catch my connecting flight to Salt Lake City for a family wedding later in the day. After about 45 minutes, our flight status was changed to canceled. We were told by the gate agent that they were "waiting on an email from corporate with a confirmation code" and that we would all be able to use that code to call the airline to get rebooked on other flights to our destinations, even if the flight was on another airline. After waiting another hour or so, we were all handed letters and told that NO, actually, Frontier would NOT be helping us rebook our flights unless we were staying with them. For the record, there were no more flights to Denver or most other destinations that day.

    The letter and gate agent said that if we wanted to rebook on another airline, we would have to do so at our own expense. We could then later submit for reimbursement from Frontier, but only up to $400 maximum. Have you ever tried to book a same day, cross-country flight? It costs far more than $400. And if we submit for that reimbursement, we will not get our Frontier flight cost (for the canceled flight) refunded. I've flown many airlines and had canceled flights, this is the FIRST airline that has not fully covered the rebooking costs.

    As a result, many travelers were stranded (not everyone can afford those extra several hundred dollars, one of my flight options was over $1600!!) and the rest of us left unable to travel at all. They did email a $200 voucher, but honestly, why on earth would I ever fly with them again? And $200 doesn't begin to make up for the fact that, thanks to the ineptitude and despicable customer service, I was unable to attend that family wedding. I can't ever get that back. My recommendation: Don't use this airline. Upon visiting their page and posting to social media, there were SEVERAL flights canceled this same day, all with the same piss-poor excuse for customer service. Completely not worth your time or money.

    I was trying to use my frequent flyer miles to rent a car. The process is so convoluted, it leads me to believe the program has been structured specifically to discourage people from redeeming their miles. You have to call to redeem your miles for a rental; you cannot do it online. First, the Frontier website lists a phone number that is 9 digits long instead of 10.

    Once I'd figure out the phone number, I was connected to a call center in who knows where and placed on hold for ten minutes. When I finally spoke to a customer service agent, he originally told me the call center was in Denver. When I pressed him, he told me (in a thick accent) that he was prohibited from disclosing the location. The entire process to book the car took 28 minutes, and I was limited to choosing from 3 inflexible packages. I couldn't just book a car for five days. Supposedly, I will be receiving a certificate in the next few days that I can use to call the rental car company to redeem. I am cancelling my Frontier card TODAY and applying for Southwest.

When we arrived at Tampa airport to return to Cleveland, we were notified that our flight that was scheduled for a 9:30 flight was delayed until 5:30. It had changed again with a delay until 6:40 pm. We had no choice but to sit in the airport all day. We were given a $10 breakfast voucher at that time. They had told us to check with Southwest to see if they had openings or try and get a ride to Orlando.

    After eating a dinner, they had announced that a $15 voucher would be given for dinner. Since we had already ate dinner which we paid for, this voucher wasn't much help for us. We had spend approximately 12 hours at the airport because they could not guarantee us that a flight may be opened sooner. There was families there that had children who had grown very impatient, was tired, and much crying. Many passengers had to call off work because they could not get back to Cleveland. I missed a class which was very important. It is unacceptable that people had to wait 12 hours at a airport.

Oh, my original flight time was 7:50 pm, but we departed at 1:30am.

    I contacted Frontier to make a reservation on July 16, 2015 (about 4 months later) and to my surprise was told that the certificate is worth only $200 and that it has expired. I spoke to a supervisor. She basically repeated what the agents have already told me that the certificate has expired in 3 months regardless of what it says in print on the voucher that was given to us. It essentially is a fraud since they have changed the validity period of a certificate after issuing it and without informing us. Surprisingly, it was done over a short period between end March and mid July. They refused to do anything about it. I can't believe such a fraudulent airline is allowed to operate in the USA.

    I had the unfortunate experience of flying your airline today, July 9, 2015. My wife attempting to make a 7:30 flight to Denver, arrived at airport at 6:35 am. Due to extremely slow performance at ticketing, we were not able to make this flight. Ticket agent attempted to get us on the next available flight which was 8:15 am but said that only 1 seat was available. She advised my wife to take that seat and I will get the next available flight (3:20 pm) but also suggested checking at the gate for seat availability and get on standby as there maybe seats available. After paying an additional $75 each for the change in flight, plus checking 2 bags at cost, we proceeded to the gate. There were several people waiting at the original gate and one of the airport wheelchair walkers finally told us that the gate was changed and it was not announced.

    The wheelchair walker got into an argument with both the agents at the gate. The 8:15 was already boarding and the Wheelchair walker stated that she was going to report this to the FAA and the gate agents said "Go ahead. This is not my job. I'm in college. This is not my career like you! I will most likely be writing your checks." Once that fiasco was over, I attempted to ask if I could be put on standby and was immediately told by one of the gate agents that she could not do that until boarding was completed. This was odd but I waited and my wife proceeded to board. I waited in plain sight until all passengers were boarded and then asked again if I could be put on standby. I then got the response "I don't know how to do that." Luckily, so I thought, a friend of hers, that appeared to be a supervisor attempted to help and she responded "It has been so long since I did this."

    In the meantime my wife calls me from the plane and said plenty of seats are available. After 10 minutes of doing something on the computer, the supervisor says "The system is not allowing me to put you on this flight. System is stating that the flight is full and I know there are seats available. I cannot allow you on this flight without being on the list so all I can tell you is contact customer service." During the time that the so called supervisor was attempting to get me on the flight, she was carry on and flirting with her friends and baggage attendant. As soon as she told me there was nothing that she could do, they all packed up and left. I have never experienced such poor customer service in all my life and I travel quite often.

    The way that this team of individuals treated not just me but all passengers is disgraceful and disgusting. Since I had about 7 hours to sit and watch these individuals, it appears to me that significant training is badly needed. Watching Frontier Airlines personnel interact with customers is horrific! All the giggling, mocking, talking behind customer backs, no smiles, or common courtesy is enforced.

    I am a Vice President of Customer Care and Services for an Education software company and I know what would happen if we treated our customers in this fashion. We would not be in business for very long. I used to be a huge Frontier Airlines customer and fan in the beginning but I get better service elsewhere.

After attempting to check in online through the Frontier Airlines website, there appeared to be some issues where there was only one passenger listed. With this making my wife and I very uncomfortable and not wanting another episode on the flight coming out to Denver, we decided to not take any chances and take the morning on one of our vacation days to go to the airport and get our boarding passes personally. We arrived at the airport and received great service from the ticketing agent. Unfortunately we do not remember her name. She provided us with our boarding passes and outlined our seat, gate and time which was set from Denver to Atlanta with departure at 7:25 am. We were feeling very comfortable about this decision and knew going home would be a smooth process.

    We woke up at 4:00 am and headed to the airport the next morning 7/14/2015. Turned in rental car and go to the airport at roughly 5:15 am where we proceeded to ticketing to check our bags. Met with another ticketing agent who confirmed everything and checked our 2 bags ($40). We left ticketing and ran into the nice agent who provided our boarding passes the previous morning who wished us good luck as she knew of the previous experience. We proceeded through security and got to the gate at around 6:00 am. Knowing that gates do change, we were listening for any changes to our flight along with others that were on the same flight. We noticed that it was 7:10 and have not heard anything regarding our flight. Checked with the gate attendant and she told us that this gate has been changed. We were stunned and ran to the gate. Made it to the gate at 7:15 am as I rushed up to the gate attendant and presented my ticket.

    My wife was trailing along and after a few seconds of looking at something, the attendant said "You have missed this flight and need to go to Customer Service between 36 and 38". My wife was out of breathe and attempting to start a conversation with this gate attendant (Andrea) and the attendant said the she announced that the gate was changed. As mentioned earlier, several passengers were at the original gate and there was no announcement of a gate change. This gate agent was extremely rude and was yelling at all of us with no eye contact or repeating that we need to go to customer service. She proceeded down the jet way to provide the pilot information to take off. This was clearly an intentional action as we could have easily been given the opportunity to board the plane which would have taken 2 minutes.

    Knowing that we were not going to get anywhere with this gate attendant who has no competent training or skills, we had no choice to go to customer service. Once we went to customer service, went through the story of what happened and requested the next available flight to Atlanta. Customer Service contacted a Supervisor (Lee was the name and they don't provide full names) to see if the change flight fee could be waived. Of course not, we had to pay an additional $75.00 each once again for incompetence and bad customer relations. Customer Service also said that this was going to be a direct flight leaving out of gate 27 at 8:45 am.

    After getting our boarding passes and getting to the gate, we see the boarding sign with Indianapolis. We immediately asked the gate attendant and she stated that "this flight is going to Atlanta but has a layover in Indianapolis." I'm not sure when the terminology of a direct flight changed, but Direct Flight usually does not have a layover involved.

    The very thing that we wanted to avoid came true only because of Frontiers Airlines inability to serve the customer and consistently looking at milking the consumers for everything they can. This would include closing the boarding process early as well as not ensure that all passengers that are not at the gate during the boarding process are announced. No emails are being sent as a reminder of gate changes. Somewhere along the way, Frontier Airlines has lost focus on the biggest commodity which is supposed to be their customers. All in all, I spent an additional $400.00 plus on this so called vacation. Not to mention considerable loss of vacation time, paying for beverages more leg room and anything else that Frontier Airlines can come up with to take advantage of the consumer. Just for the travel expenses alone, you would think that I traveled out of the country as that would probably been less expensive.

    I'm certainly not sure what all of this information and feedback is going to do in regards to making Frontier Airlines better and enhance your companies Customer Relations but I can assure you that the public notices. Everyone that I spoke to with during this Journey does not think highly of Frontier Airlines and your public perception is damaged. I would expect some sort of conversation and compensation from a Senior Executive of customer relations but maybe that is not a part of your company culture. In closing, because I do have to travel occasionally business, I can assure you that Frontier Airlines will be my last resort, knowing what I know now.

    Missed my 7:30am flight by 5 minutes, despite getting to airport an hour early and sprinting to the gate. There were at least 8 other people who also missed the flight, including a woman in a wheelchair whose attendant had failed to get her there in time. I've only missed one flight in my life so I didn't get upset and took it as a loss for not arriving earlier to the airport. What bothered me, however, was the lack of concern and competence by attendants as we were all panting at the gate trying to regroup and figure out next steps.

    The two agents seemed unwilling (or unable) to assist us with rebooking and even suggested we go back through the terminal, to the ticketing counter, to rebook, including the woman in the wheelchair! I pleaded that they assist us at the gate and that we would wait patiently. After 15 minutes of sitting there with no help, someone went up and asked for information about next flights. One of the agents gave us an 800#, told us to rebook via phone, and then they packed up their things and walked away (not the faintest concern or care for those of us still sitting there w/ confused looks on our faces).

    Soon after, an agent on the phone put on another flight but charged me $99 - even though I explained that I was willing to do stand-by for flights leaving out the rest of the day. The 100 dollar fee was outrageous enough, but I learned later that other folks were charged $75 for their rebooking (hmmm??). I have flown for nearly 15 years, more flights than I can count... Never have I have been treated so poorly (and so callously).

    In the end, I am actually grateful that this happened b/c I know to NEVER fly this airline again - fool me once, shame on you - but fool me twice, shame on me. Don't be a fool of Frontier ... This airline does not care about you or your experience - or even its reputation it seems. They are quite callous and seem only concerned with milking you for as much money as they can. My advice is save yourself the disrespect and pay for a quality airline.

    My wife and I were praising Frontier to all our friends having tried them on a visit to our daughter in Jacksonville. Flying out of the small Mercer County airport and into another tiny airport, St Augustine FL seemed to be a good option. Door to door in 3 hours! Who could beat that for a weekend getaway visit? Even when they delayed our outbound by an hour (due to crew hours) we received an email notice that we were given a $30 refund for each ticket for the delay. Nine months later is a very different story.

    I booked our daughter to fly up to NJ for the 4th of July weekend departing FL on a June 30th and return to FL on July 7th. The June 30th flight departs at 8:30 pm arriving at 10:30. At 7:45 I get a call from my daughter telling me that the flight will be delayed and is set now to arrive in NJ at 2:00 am. My call to Frontier as to delay said that it was air traffic control in St Augustine! At 10:20 my daughter called to say the flight cancelled altogether. I found out that the plane was late out of Charlotte into NJ and the turnaround to St Augustine cancelled as well. This is where Frontier loses it as far as Customer Care goes. They knew for hours of the situation and left 2 full flights stranded. No email notices of the delay, let alone of the cancellation. I guess they cherry pick only good news to update their customers with!

    Since they are a scheduled charter airline they do not fly with the same guidelines as a regular commercial carriers. That's why they can't rebook you. They also use contract companies to manage their flight operations at the airport. The gate agents have no authority to help because the don't work for Frontier. What surprised me was that the on duty Flight Operation Manager was not even at the airport that night. 2 cancelled flights and no one of any authority to help deal with situation!!! To receive a letter for a possible $400 (less their refund for the cancelled one-way fare) for the customer to use for a next day, one-way fare on a holiday weekend is unbelievable in itself. But that the customer has to do everything to get compensated by sending everything blindly to "Customer Care" is salt on the wound. Thank god for the internet. Got booked on a USAir flight out of Jacksonville for 6:30 the next morning.

    Try getting "Customer Care" on the phone! Oh, yep. The office is only open from 8:00 am to 11:00 am MST weekdays. It might be easier if Frontier posted the right number on its website. I even tried the corporate number in Denver. Try pressing "0" if you're tired of "holding" for someone. You'll still be on hold just as long and without an Operator answering.

    I am hard pressed to understand why Frontier believes that giving a $200 voucher is either appropriate or wanted. A $1,000 voucher would not change my view of the airline. Why would anyone risk flying with them? Frontier was an option, not for price. United, USAir and Delta often have much cheaper fares and don't charge for carry-on. No carry-on fee is a $50 swing for round trip travel. As many friends and family that we have told to try Frontier, we are doubling down on our spread the word campaign to warn everyone. And if I tell 2 people, and those two tell two more and so on and so on, someone at Frontier may pick up the phone.

    Flight scheduled to leave at 7:45 pm. Delayed until 11:45, then 12:29. Will miss connecting flight in Denver, but frontier assured me I will arrive 24 hours later than planned at my destination. Would not refund the money for the ticket so I could book on another airline. Also, even knowing the flights was significantly delayed and many people would miss connecting flights, they did not open their customer service deal until two hours before scheduled departure.

    When I called customer service, not only was the person possible to understand, but he also gave me wrong information and put me on long holds repeatedly. I am feeling grateful that I'm not traveling with kids or an elderly companion. The customer service representatives showed absolutely zero concern for anyone. I ended up purchasing a ticket from Denver to Indy so I could get home 24 hours earlier than frontier could get me there. This cost me $238 none of which will be reimbursed. Do not fly this airline.

    If you don't need to be there and you can handle shoddy customer service - sure. If you can tolerate frustration well and cancellations without contingency plans then this is your airline. If you don't mind talking to supervisors who repeatedly offer you flights after you need to be someplace then sure. My daughter needed to be back in Minneapolis and the flight was canceled last minute. They got a piece of paper with a phone number to call and when she tried to get her flight re-scheduled they were of no help at all.

    Repeatedly offered to get her back to Minneapolis days after she needed to be there, missing a U-Haul and movers. Can people really be expected to deal with their mis-management? Not unless you fly for the "adventure." We're not into that kind of stressful life adventure. We need dependable and supportive service from an airline. They offered to reimburse the flight back (only) and she only had to dish out an additional $600 to get a flight out (on a reputable airline) so that she'd be back in time to move. Want last minute expenses? Stress? Headache? Frustration? Upset? Then Frontier is your airline! Personally - NEVER AGAIN.

    So my daughter was flying to Orlando to visit my dad when the day before her flight I was called that he was rushed to the hospital and was going to have heart surgery. I called Frontier Airlines and explained to the gentleman that I was going to need to change my daughter's flight due to my dad going to the hospital and no one being there to take care of my daughter. I wanted to change the flight to the following week so my dad could be out of the hospital. He suggested that I get a letter from my dad's doctor and say that my daughter could not fly out the day that she was due to my dad being in the hospital for heart surgery and that I needed to have the Doctor sign the letter and also put my daughter name and confirmation number as well as my dad. So we got the letter and the hospital faxed the letter and I waited for the 4 hours for processing.

    Finally I talked with someone and she informed me that it was denied due to the fact that it was not on a letterhead. So we contacted the Doctor again and asked him to write the information again and to make sure it was on a letterhead. So the Doctor wrote a letter with everything that Frontier asked and it was on the Florida Hospital Letterhead and the hospital faxed it in. Just talked with the manager and was told that no they gave me the wrong information - my daughter had to be unable to travel! I am so upset right now and I will NEVER buy a ticket from them again. I would never have gone through all of this if it was not suggested by one of the customers service rep that suggested to go this route. I hope that everyone knows that this company is awful. They need to do better training with their customers service. I did not need all this stress on top of my dad having heart surgery.

    I had a flight from Dulles international to Miami international ved at 6:15am on July 10th 2015. I was in line at 5am sharp. Only one person was working (who later claimed to be the manager when people started asking) and only one of the six self-serve booths actually functioned but only enough to prompt you to go to a service adviser. One single person processing an entire flight worth of people was obviously not enough. Eventually the manager started asking customers to omit checking in their luggage and to just take it onboard with them (they ran). Me and another lady were unfortunate enough to have been told we weren't going to make the flight. I was very upset and the manager at the desk wanted nothing to do with it. He refused to offer any further help and handed me a customer feedback card. But only after refusing a refund as they could only give me a credit within their airlines (next available flight was 24 hours later).

    I eventually purchased the soonest available ticket departing from Ronald Reagan International and took a shuttle there (all out of pocket). While riding there I called the customer feedback line and was told that not only would they offer a credit WITHIN Frontier Airlines, but that they would charge me $20 for changing the flight! As if this was my choice! On top of that the claim was only valid for two hours after the original flight so that's money that just went into their pockets!

    To put all of this into perspective, I had a flight leaving from Miami to Cuba which had to be arranged with a Cuban flight agency. The stress during this whole ordeal, as I tried rushing to find a new flight that would put me within the window of opportunity of catching a later flight to Cuba (that I had to arrange with the Cuban agency, $100 fee) was enough to burn the Frontier name into my memory and never "fly" with them again. I avoided a catastrophe no thanks to them. They kept my 300 plus dollars. I only hope this review convinces a potential customer to take their money elsewhere and that, slowly but surely, those 300 plus dollars (and more) are lost in potential customers that decided to go elsewhere.

    Separated wife and kids, wife told to shut up, sit down. When checking in at Tampa Airport, we got un-checked from our seats that we had paid for and then told that it would be fine and they would find us seats that we're together. I didn't get to sit with my family on a connecting flight to Cleveland, and my wife was separated from our 5 year old.

    Once we were landed in Cleveland and the passengers had unloaded/waiting to load passengers from Cleveland, the gate attendant came onto the plane and told my wife that she would be sitting in a different seat away from our daughter, and they also had moved me up almost 10 rows away from my family. My wife then moved our things to our new seats and was waiting to see if a new passenger would be willing to trade seats. The flight attendant then came onto the plane and told my wife that the seat that she was just told to sit in, was again not her seat. When my wife refused to let our five year old be moved the flight attendant told my wife to "SHUT UP SIT DOWN!" and that "other families paid good money to sit with their families." Little did she know, so did we! BUT! They had messed up and un-checked us from our seats.

    Now, if that wasn't the icing on the cake, we finally get to our destination to find they had lost our daughter's car seats. We have a 3-hour drive home from the airport to our home. After waiting over 1 1/2 hours AFTER our flight had landed, they offer us a loaner car seat. It is a $50, 9 year old loaner car seat that was set to expire in 3 months and had been discontinued by the manufacturer which wasn't even suitable for a infant. The car seat had no head pillow, and the shoulder straps couldn't be adjusted to fit our 3 month old. The Frontier employees/supervisor told us that was the only option because they weren't able to get our car seat for at least another 2 days. If they could even find it. We paid well over 400$ for both car seats to be safe in the event of a crash. To be handed a cheaper yard sale car seat and told to deal with it and as my wife is crying at the fact that children's safety isn't a priority for this company.

    The following day after our flight, my wife and I checked the recall status of the car seat and come to find out the car seat they had "loaned" us was recalled! So now our daughter is riding in a recalled car seat, until they can find ours. Completely unacceptable! I warn any family with kids or loved ones to stay as far away from Frontier as you can, it might be cheaper but that doesn't mean its safer. The customer service towards military and families is absolutely disgusting.

    Nothing really happened but I felt that this was a forum to express my total displeasure with this airline. I probably flew Frontier at least 50 plus times in the past. I haven't flown in the past 6 years and so it was such a shock to see how much Frontier has fallen. My flight to Las Vegas from Denver just before the 4th of July was a rude awakening. To start off with, to pay for a carry-on luggage ($30) was ludicrous. Then to have to pay for seating assignment ($15 to $50) is just outrageous. On top of that, having to pay for a soda and snack ($3.99) was another WTF moment. I thought it was comical when the flight attendant came by with the drink cart and asked everyone if they would like to have some complimentary water! Not in a bottle but in a small plastic cup.

    I never used the bathroom because I was afraid that it might be one of those that made you put in a quarter to get into. I'm just joking about the bathroom but you get the point. Other notable negatives was the new plastic chairs that you sit in. The new seats did not recline and the pull-down table was the size of a mini-tablet. It just seemed so cheap. Yes, it is a budget airline but enough is enough. My return trip home was delayed an hour and 20 minutes although they said that it was going to be about 50 minutes. Of all my past travels with Frontier, there might have been 2 times that the flight was delayed and they were less than an hour delayed. All I could say is that I will never travel with Frontier again unless I'm really desperate. I'm glad I found this site to show my displeasure. It will be my purpose in life to tell people not to fly with this cheap airline!!!

"I apologize for the miscommunication that happened between you and the previous agents. With respect, the change fee is non-refundable. Once submitted, it is irreversible. Therefore, we are not able to honor your refund request." Next, they said this "I'm sorry you're not happy with our resolution. It's important we are consistent with our policies in order to be fair to all our customers."

    The funny thing is, I never said I was not happy with the resolution. I didn't get a chance.

    Do not fall for the scam of purchasing a Frontier Credit Card ($69) and receiving 50,000 "free" miles. In March my wife used those points and an additional 7,000 that we acquired through purchases to secure 2 seats on a Frontier flight from Philadelphia to Chicago for this coming Friday, July 10. We also bought an additional ticket for our daughter. We received a Trip Confirmation Number showing that 57,000 miles had been redeemed from my wife's account along with an "approval" number (**). When we became concerned that we had not received an itinerary or etickets my wife called Frontier's toll-free number. We then entered "SUPERVISOR HELL." The first customer no-service representative, who spoke with a thick and impenetrable accent, told my wife that the flight had been cancelled.

    When that did not fly (sorry, pun intended) she offered to put the points back in our account. When my wife protested and asked to speak with a supervisor, he told her that we had not redeemed a sufficient number of points to merit two seats. When we pointed out that we had a confirmation number and an "approval code" for our seats he became flummoxed. We asked to speak to his supervisor. Same drill. Supervisor No. 2 ("Brian") then told us the problem was not with Frontier but with Barclays Bank, the card issuer, and transferred us to Barclays. The Barclays representative told us the problem was with Frontier. We told him we agreed but were transferred to Barclays by Frontier.

    A nice Barclays Bank supervisor then arranged a conference call with the Frontier people and stayed on the line. We spent a total of three hours on the phone and the only resolution was for Frontier to return my wife's points to her account so that we can go through this all over again when/if we try to book another phantom Frontier flight. Even the Barclay's supervisor was amazed and appalled by the treatment we were receiving; she told us she was waiving the $69 fee as a consequence. We are seriously thinking of instituting a class action for fraud against Frontier, something we have never done in our lives.

    Their point program is worse than meaningless. We had to incur the pain and expense of getting tickets on another airline at the last minute. Had we not called we would have shown up at the Philly airport on Friday with our child and with no tickets, just a meaningless Confirmation Code and Approval Number. Our advice: Stay away from Frontier, from their points, and from their customer no-service representatives. To Barclay's Bank: WHY ARE YOU PERMITTING YOUR BRAND TO REMAIN ASSOCIATED WITH FRONTIER?

    I flew Frontier Airlines from Denver to Philadelphia, via Minneapolis - St. Paul on 26 June 2015 for a week at the beach in Delaware. I did lodge a complaint online, but the 800 character limitation is woefully inadequate to explain my experience. I was on flight 326 with a departure time of 0609 on 26 June 2015. I got to the airport about 70 minutes before departure. I checked in at the counter, got my boarding pass and walked over the bridge to Terminal A. I had time to get a coffee and Danish before boarding. The flight itself was uneventful. The problems began when my bag never got there (There was also a couple flying with an infant, their infant car seat never arrived).

    The next problem was that the Baggage Services office was dark and unattended. On the off chance that the employee was lunching somewhere in the airport, I had the airport paging service to ask the employee to return to Baggage Services to no avail. In compliance with the notice on the door, I walked over to the ticket counter and after standing in line for about 10 minutes, I was handed the form for missing baggage to fill out. I filled it out and on the advice of the ticketing agent, put my cell phone number and my sister's cell phone number on the form as the preferred way to contact me and handed it back to the ticket agent. About an hour and a half after landing, I finally got my rental car and drove to Delaware.

    By about noon on Saturday, 27 June 2015, when I had not received any call from anyone at Frontier, I tried calling the number found online for Baggage Services (877-461-5737). I did expect there to be the ever unpopular phone menu and was not disappointed. The first time I called, there was something wrong with the recording. There was a series of staccato clicks through which I could hear about every third word. So I hung up and started over with the same result. On my third try, I did get a clear recording that told me that due to a technology update they were receiving a high volume of calls and what to do if I was calling about a flight, otherwise call later.

    I then tried calling directly to the Frontier Baggage Services at the Philadelphia Airport at 215-365-2859 where there no answer. I then tried the number I had for the Philadelphia Airport Baggage Services where I was politely told that they could not assist me as they are not involved in Frontier Airlines baggage issues as Frontier handles their own (Frontier may indeed handle their own baggage service but not very efficiently as there was apparently no one present for two days in a row). I tried the toll free number several more times and again either got series of clicks again or the same message about the technology update. I next called the number again, pressing zero key to try to get a person. I did but unfortunately did not get his name. When I explained my problem, he gave the same number I had for baggage services. I explained that I had tried that number 5 times and told him about the difficulty with the system.

    He then attempted to give the direct number to baggage services. When I advised him that I had already tried that number and there was no answer on 10 rings, he advised me that he could not help me and would have to end the call. I did end the call so that I would not become the-caller-from-Hell (I do telephone work myself so believe me, I know). If this is the level of customer care one receives from Customer Service something is terribly, terribly wrong. If all customer service can do is give telephone numbers that are readily available on your web site, why on earth do you even have them? When I reach a person I expect more than a verbal phone directory! By that evening I decided I would have to drive back to Philadelphia and beard the lion in its den, as it were.

    So, the first day of my vacation was effectively ruined due to frustration and my second day of vacation was spent driving 2.5 hours back to Philadelphia, paying $6 in weekend toll rates. I got to the airport and, lo and behold, there was actually a person at the baggage services office! Will wonders ever cease? And there was my bag. The young lady was helpful but I never did find out why I never received a call but she did advise me that my bag arrived on Saturday. I was also advised I could not get a voucher for parking at the airport or tolls incurred, but if I had receipts for any expenses incurred, she could assist with that. Well, I had bought a few things but did not have the receipts with me so I just chalked that up as an error on my part. She did say she would waive my baggage charges. It was unclear if this was just the $50 for the return trip or if this would $100 for waiving the fees both ways.

    I thanked her and got back on the road, paying another $6 in tolls and $20 in gas (And, no I do not have those receipts. At this point it was all moot anyway and I just wanted this behind me). I did thank her for that, as it might cover the expenses incurred but there is no way I can get back that lost day of my vacation, a day with family out of week that was supposed to be restful.

    Luckily, my flight back to Denver on 03 July 2015 was uneventful. However, I must also add a complaint about the new seats. Besides the fact that they look like oversized infant car seats, they are not comfortable, the tray table is a joke and you can barely fit a book in the seat pocket making it difficult to have things stowed safely as per instructions for takeoff and landing. And guess what was on my answering machine when I got home to Colorado? A message from Frontier from Saturday 27 June 2015 saying my bag had arrived in Philadelphia! So, apparently the lost baggage form I filled out was yet another exercise in futility as it appears they simply called the phone number on my baggage tag, not the numbers I provided on the form.

    So, with all that said, it will take a long time before I ever think of flying Frontier Airlines again which is disappointing because I used to enjoy flying Frontier. I do understand that there are a lot of changes occurring in the industry as a whole and that the CEO stepped down, but the grassroots experience has to do with staff that handle the day-in day-out operations and I can't say that anyone I was in contact with seemed very happy with their jobs. A simple smile or someone looking me in the eye to say "I am sorry this happened to you on our airline" would have made a big difference. I had the feeling that I was not valued as a customer, I was just another problem to be solved. After all, why should a ticket agent be responsible for lost bags?

The gate agent advised no compensation would be given until after a 4 hour delay. We were then told she was trying to get authorization to use a plane parked at D1. We were then advised that our flight crew was over their hours and were told to go to the hotel. Our flight was rescheduled until 0830 6/26/15. We were notified at 0845 the flight was again delayed until 0930. At 1000 we were told we were waiting on our plane to land.

    At 1030 we were told we did not have a flight crew. 1145 we boarded and sat at the gate another 45 minutes waiting for catering to deliver. Once airborne we were offered a complimentary cup of soda or coffee. Having dry mouth I requested a can of soda and was told it would be 2.99. On the flight one of the passengers advised she called the complaint line and was given a 200.00 voucher. Once we landed I attempted to call and was told it was a weather related incident.

    Frontier is OK, especially considering the price. The seats weren't too bad and the food prices on the plane are relatively low. You will have to pay for EVERYTHING but I pack extremely light so I can manage a 3 day without a carry-on. Now for the bad: depending on where you are located the attendants are so rude and unhelpful even if you're asking a run of the mill question. Also IMPORTANT, they WILL LEAVE early. Even if you checked in at the desk. I checked in more than an hour early. I have no clue why but they have some "policy" that they can leave 10 minutes earlier than what's printed on the ticket. RIDICULOUS really. I missed my flight because they left 10 min. early, I checked in at the desk an hour prior, grabbed food and arrived with 9 min. to spare, too bad the plane already left.

    How you can leave before the time on the ticket boggles my mind, especially when all checked in passengers are not accounted for and they know that they only fly out one time! They tried to make me pay $75 more, just ask for a manager and you won't have to pay. I certainly was not about to pay for them leaving early especially since now I would have to pay for a hotel. This experience started out well enough but has become extremely annoying. I will most likely just fly Spirit airlines. The customer service is much better and they have never left early.

It's going on day 2 and I still don't have my bag & no one knows where it is. Frontier does not scan your luggage when taken on and off planes, so they have no way to track your bag.

    I am 14 years old. I just graduate from middle school going to high school. My mom decide to give me a graduation trip to visit my aunt in Atlanta. Our flight was June 18 at 9:45 pm. My mom took the day off work and called in sick because she had no vacation days left. She work from 2:30 to 11:00. When we got to the airport at 8 o'clock pm, someone told us that the flight was delayed. Not sure what time they're leaving so we went to the counter to found out what was happening. The lady told us the flight is going to leave at 4 in the morning. My mom was so mad, we had no money or snacks food or drink. I had $20 that my grandma gave me so I decided to buy juice and snack with the $20.

    We never left the airport until 4 in the morning. Juice at the airport was $3.75 and we were there from 8 o'clock that night so you can imagine how much food we both had for $20, nothing. When we got on the plane we had no food either. We were exhausted. I slept on to tears in the airport together and my mom stood over me to make sure that I was ok. At about 3 o'clock in the morning, the airport start giving out blankets and pillows but that was too late. We were already so cold and hungry, missing our warm bed and a hot chocolate.

    Anyway, I was so happy when I got to Atlanta at six in the morning. The first thing I did was to sleep all day that Friday. My experience with Frontier and my mom experience with Frontier is very horrible. We will never travel this airline again. I would really love if they can refund my ticket, money, my food money, and the uncomfortableness experience in the airport by not having a hotel room.

    I booked myself and my girlfriend flight on Frontier.com from Las Vegas to Denver Colorado, departing 6:20 AM. I know for a fact that through the entire process I saw the the 6:20 AM flight that I specifically chose RATHER THAN a 10:00 PM flight. I entered my credit card info, finalized the 6:20 flight and then landed on the page telling me I'd receive a confirmation email. The confirmation email sat in my inbox for a couple days as my unread emails show first, that way when I get to the airport I don't have trouble finding anything I'd need. I arrived at McCarran airport at 4:00 AM, printed out my boarding pass, and I see that the flight I'm on departs at 10:00 PM. Confused, I check the email and see that the email I received also says 10:00 PM. I did not authorize a charge on my card for the 10:00 PM flight from Las Vegas to Denver, I only authorized the flight departing 6:20 AM and did not receive the flight I paid for.

    Upon calling customer service they offered me a credit, minus a $99 fee for each passenger. The flight was $347, I received something other than I paid for. After talking circles with customer service now I have a $149 CREDIT for Frontier that lasts for 365 days. All because Frontier's computers didn't see that the flight was full allowing me to purchase tickets to a flight that was already full. Complete garbage. Frontier stole $198 from me.

    Dec 5th - FLL to CLE flight cancelled. I can deal with a cancelled flight but this was beyond ridiculous. Dec 5th afternoon flight... delay an hour, then 2, then 3, then... cancelled flight after 10pm after all flights had left. Gate agent said the crew had "timed out" at 8pm (been on the clock for 12 hours), so they could have told us 2 hours earlier. Told us to come back to the airport at 6am. Gave us an 800 # to call for a hotel and agreed to pay $150. The 800 # said that they had no rooms available and you are on your own to find one. Came back to the airport on Saturday at 6am just like Frontier told me to do. Ticket counter agent said flight is leaving at 12pm. The crew could not fly until X # of hours off of the clock for rest, which Frontier SHOULD have told us Friday night!!! So, we sat around the airport for 6 hours waiting for our flight, which, of course, was delayed again until after 3pm or 24 HOURS after we were supposed to fly.

    No one at Frontier apologized, gave an explanation as to what causing the delays, helped with hotels, etc. I was traveling alone on business, so no big deal, but it was very hard on the senior citizens and families traveling with small children. **FYI - I had to argue and send multiple emails and make several phone calls to receive reimbursement for my expenses (hotel cost $220+ so I lost a day and almost $100 in additional expenses that they did not pay for). Summary - My past travel on Frontier was OK because there were no issues, but they fall apart completely as an airlines once they run into any issue. If at all possible, I would recommend avoiding Frontier Airlines.

They will charge you more and more for each little thing. You might think that you get a bargain for the ticket price, but it is not. Just to book your seat, you will have to pay extra amount. You also has to pay for your carry-on with only exception if it is a laptop or purse. I just flew with them on 6-14-2015.

The employee at the airport told me to contact Frontier Airline for the refund of the bag that I paid but did not check in. Frontier Airline refused to refund and stated that it is non-refundable.

They don't even offer water for passengers. The airplane is old and chairs are broken. On the going flight my chair could not recline; on the return flight, the chair in front of me reclined too far back and I could not fit my leg in. I will never intend to fly with them again.

I showed up at the gate in RDU today at 4:20 pm for a 5:10 pm flight to find that the flight had been delayed until 6:14 pm. So I made absolutely sure by verifying three times with the gate representative that the flight was delayed and I would have time for dinner and three times I was assured that the flight was delayed. When I returned to the game at 5:40 pm I found that the flight had departed and there was no one at the gate.

    I called customer service and spoke to a first echelon rep in the Philippines who could provide no assistance. I requested and was transferred to a supervisor with no success except to offer me the following day 5:10 pm flight. I asked to be booked with another airlines but she stated Frontier has no affiliations with other airlines. I was finally transferred to a Manager who informed me it was my fault but he would reschedule me for the 5:10 pm flight the following day and not charge me the $75 change fee. By this time the gate personnel had showed up for the next flight but they were of no help either.

    This is an airlines with very limited resources and extremely poor customer service. Their "cheap" mentality permeates their customer relationships and their problem-solving technique is "take it or leave it." My advice: spare yourself the anguish and book your travel on a reputable airlines. This flight was $99 one-way non-stop from RDU to ORD but I had to pay for a carry-on and seat assignment. I booked 3 flights from RDU to ORD the following week on American, one-way, non-stop for $99 each. CAVEAT EMPTOR!

The flight home was probably one of the worst experiences I have ever had. We were flying from Nola to Salt Lake City, with a layover in Denver. Our whole family was there, and my brother had scheduled with Southwest Airlines rather than Frontier. When he checked in, they had let him know that his flight was delayed, and that he would be missing the flight to Salt Lake City. They let him on the next plane going to Salt Lake City, which was only five hours later. When we checked in with Frontier, we asked if our flight had been delayed at all.

    They did not even check and told us that everything is falling fine. When we got near the gate for the plane, there was a sign that said our flight had been delayed, contrary to what the lady that checked us in said. Nobody from the airline was there to represent the company, so we walked back through all the security to talk to someone at the check in desk regarding info for our flight to salt lake. There was nobody there. It was like the whole airline shut down for the night. Finally they let us know when we would board. It was a total two hour delay. Still, we would ask, yet received no information about salt lake. We arrived in Denver at 11:30 pm on a Thursday, and finally, somebody told us the status of our salt lake flight. It had already landed.

    So, they scheduled us for a flight to salt lake on Saturday. That was over 36 hours away! No hotel or food vouchers were offered either. We were sick of their customer service, that we demanded a refund for our flight to salt lake, rented a car, and drove home. We had plans, and places to be. There is no way that they can keep me there for that long, especially when there were two other flights headed to salt lake in between the time we arrived, and the time we were scheduled. Not to mention, they completely ignored my mother. It's like they train the employees to be heartless.

They have fees that you'll not be inform of. I wish I never book this flight. Missed the check in gate just 2 mins, and I have to pay 75 dollars to rebook for the next day. The charge for baggage and sit.

    We got an e-mail at 12:35 A.M. saying our 6:30 flight to Ft Lauderdale was canceled and to call this number. When you called the number it said the flight was still on schedule so we continued to drive finding out it was canceled. We were on our way to a family reunion so we could spend time with my father who has brain cancer. The next flight was 5 days later because the rest were all booked. We would get a full reimbursement but our new flights were twice the amount since we booked last minute on another airlines. I understand planes get mechanical problems but have a back up plan the same day (not 5 days later) or give customers the price difference to pay for another flight for the huge inconvenience. I can't say all the changes that had to be made! Poor communication and you can't get a person on the phone to help you.

    Need to get from point A to point B while flying Frontier Airlines? Your Frontier Flight will be delayed. Clear Sunny skies from coast to coast? Your Frontier flight will be delayed. Planes running perfectly with zero mechanical issues? Your Frontier Flight will be delayed. Absolutely no reason for your Frontier Flight to be delayed? Trust me your Frontier Flight will be delayed. What seems like a cheap flight will quickly turn into an above average priced flight after Frontier Airlines nickels and dimes the living hell out of you while unapologetically making you late to the things that matter to you. My company has officially blacklisted Frontier.

    Never trust these clowns with your credit card. They charged my card over $900 bucks for a flight they quoted at $566. They work hard to suck real bad... Customer Support hates their customers and they basically take pride in telling their customers they're screwed basically.

    My sister, Brother, Sister-in-law, and I were almost flying from Atlanta to New York. We were there before their "cut off" time. However, we were given wrong information to be in the wrong line and by the time we were ready to check in our baggage, the Lady in the front desk told us that we missed the flight. I was so shocked and angry because it was not our fault. The Lady was very rude and was not willing to resolve the situation. Instead, she gave us a number for customer service and stated "I don't know anything ma'am, you have to call this number and rebook your flight". Later, I found out that her name was ** and she refused to give me her last name.

    There were 10 other people who missed their flight with us. After all this, they didn't compromise anything. They couldn't give us a flight on the same day. Instead, we paid $75 extra per person for the next day flight. I will never ever fly with Frontier. It seems like they want people to miss their flights so that they can make some extra money. All I want is to take actions on that employee named **. She works at Atlanta Airport for Frontier. Frontier is a fraud airlines. They know how to rip off people.

    I booked a flight with Frontier Airlines because I had a family emergency and tight with finances. After I booked the flight I saw all these horrible reviews and started to freak out thinking, OMG I'm totally screwed. I've got 3 days to settle some issues in Jersey and this flight might get canceled, my luggage might get lost. Well, I said a prayer, crossed my fingers and arrived at the airport on Saturday morning. The check in line was long but it flowed easily. Got to the gate, we boarded on time, arrived in Jersey early and it's a no frills airline but it got me to where I needed to go without a problem and I got back home without a problem. I didn't encounter any rude staff, my luggage was fine, the flight was smooth. I can't complain, it was a decent flight for the money I paid and I would gladly book another flight with Frontier again anytime I need to go to Jersey. The airport may be an hour away from my hometown but it's worth the drive.

    First the plane needed a mechanical part, could not get it that day then cancelled. Shipped us to hotel till early morning without much sleep, service at airport was very poor, lost some boarding passes, poor wheelchair service, did not explain things well at all. Finally got a flight at early morning June 15. The Cleveland service was better, will not fly Frontier again.

    My son and I were traveling from Philadelphia to Denver with a stop in Houston on Saturday June 6th. We completed the segment from Philadelphia to Houston. That same plane was scheduled to complete our second segment to Denver but that plane was then used to fly passengers back to Philadelphia and another plane was on its way but when that plane landed it blew a tire so the flight that evening was canceled. NO COMPENSATION FOR HOTEL WAS OFFERED! Flight was rescheduled for the following morning at 9am. Next morning plane was still not repaired and that flight was canceled. We were told the next available flight was Tuesday June 9th in the evening. I rented a car and drove 1,000 miles home. This canceled flight cost me more than $500 which I feel Frontier Airlines should refund.

    Both segments of round trip non stop flight were 3+ hours delayed. The airlines failed to advise consumer or explain why the delays. It was just take it or leave it. This airline is expensive so one would and should not have delays. The planes are so old and have such poor interiors that it is scary and at best very uncomfortable. The attendants try but passengers are so upset at being 3 hours late for takeoff, it's impossible for them to make it better.

    My wife and I booked a trip to Cancun for my 30th birthday. Our flight was set to leave at around 6am and we would be in CANCUN by 10am. We get to the airport at 3:00am after getting up at 1am so we could get our car parked and get a shuttle. Once arriving there were a few other people there as well and we notice our flight has been delayed until 9:30 - a 3 hour delay. Finally a Frontier rep comes up and says our flight has been delayed because the pilots needed extra rest... She openly stated she found out about 1am that morning. Why couldn't they if warned us then by email or a call. So thanks to the pilots needing extra rest we didn't land in Cancun til almost 1pm and ruined half of our first day. Not to mention the first day was the only day it didn't rain in Cancun.

    This company is awful. You can tell the moment you get on the plane. The seats are paper thin as you feel like you're dottin in plastic and the trays are so tiny you can barely put a cup on them... Thanks Frontier for making my wife and I sit in an airport from 3am - 9:30 am and being at fault for us missing the first day of our trip. We purposely planned an early flight so we could get to our resort early and get all of our dinners booked, meet our Apple vacation rep and get to know the resort. That was all ruined because of you. NEVER TRUST THIS COMPANY. You can google Frontier airlines and see they're terrible by all the reviews and the CEO just stepped down. Bad company. I shoulda done my research before booking with them.

    I am extremely irate. I missed the cut off for boarding my flight by 5 minutes! I was not allowed to board. Once I called and spoke with a rep at Frontier, I was told that I could book another flight for two days later for the same time but I needed to pay $75. I called back to pay and rebook and the second rep advised that I could not book since it was 2 hours after my original departure time. When I spoke with the first rep, it was already 2 hours past the time and he advised that I could rebook. After speaking to the supervisor, **, I asked for the call to be escalated again.

    At this point she transferred me to an automated line! I called back and spoke with **, who was empathetic, but could not assist. I was told that I forfeited my flight AND the baggage fees that I had OPTIONALLY pre-paid. I am stranded away from home and now have to try to find a new flight WITH ANOTHER AIRLINE! Their policies and customer service is HORRIBLE. They seem to have the WORST policies among all the airlines. DO NOT USE THIS AIRLINE! I have only heard bad things about this airline. I chose to give them a try and I REGRET it!

    This was my first experience flying with Frontier Airlines and I will never fly Frontier Airlines again. As a 100 percent disabled, combat wounded Vietnam veteran, I was treated worse than when I returned from three years in Vietnam and after thirty years of active duty service in the U.S. Army Special Forces. Even though I am a 100% disabled veteran, I had to pay extra for Classic Plus service just to make sure I would be seated with my wife as my caregiver. We stood in the Classic Plus line, yet they were taking all passengers to include standard coach passengers. Absolutely no priority during check in even though we paid for it. This happened in Las Vegas as well as Atlanta. I was told (Frontier call center) that there was no handicap sitting and if I didn't upgrade to Classic Plus we would more than likely be separated and seated anywhere in the airplane. Really! No handicap seating?

    The stewardesses were talking and laughing so loud during the entire flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta with no consideration for passengers who were trying to sleep. The crew occupied the first four overhead bins with their personal luggage meaning everyone had to shift down several rows for the overhead bins creating confusion. In the future, I will pay twice as much to fly on another airlines. Customer service goes a long way and Frontier Airlines lacks even basic customer service. Frontier Airlines shame on you! Oh, did I mention that even though we paid for Classic Plus tickets we sat next to standard coach passengers who paid far less than we paid.

    WORST AIRLINE EVER!! Do yourself a favor and pay a little more to fly with a real airline!! Sure you might save a dollar or two but your flight will most likely be pushed out from its original departure time, your flight will be cancelled with no replacement flight, and you will deal with some of the worst customer service agents on the planet. This airline use to great but in the last 2 years they have failed at every turn. I have flown them numerous time in the last 2 years so my frustration is not because of 1 horrible experience but because of many. Why would I continue to fly a horrible airline you ask? I unfortunately had them as my preferred corporate airline and had a Frontier credit card.

    Here is just one example... get ready! My husband and I flew back to his hometown over Christmas 2014 (flying in/out of Detroit). I used 60,000 miles for one ticket and paid $450 for another ticket. On our way to the airport for our return flight I was sent an email from Frontier informing me my flight had been cancelled with no other flight options. You heard that right NO OTHER OPTIONS! I called Frontier and was told the only option they had was on a flight 7 days from that day. WOW. With that said my husband and I rented a car and drove 18 hours to return home to Denver.

    One week after returning home I called Frontier to complain about our experience and was issued a $150 voucher for myself and a $150 voucher for my husband. I tried to use one of the vouchers on 6/11/2015 (six month after it was issued) and was told that it is no longer valid! Wow, turns out when you get a voucher from Frontier they are only good for 3 months (which they didn't tell me). So with that said, I was not able to use this voucher. I called in and spoke to several "supervisors" and was given the runaround and went thru transfer h*ll. All said and done voucher is not valid. They will not reinstate and will not give me a new one. Way to go Frontier this is customer service at its worst! Your airline is horrible and I will NEVER fly you again. I have 45,000 miles that I will not be using and my Frontier credit card was cancelled last month.

    BEWARE! I paid bag fees in advance for both legs of a trip for two minors. When they checked in to fly home they were informed bags were not paid. I checked the receipt there was a "credit shell" for $40.00. Paid again online, only to find out I will never see this money. Frontier told me I can only use it for a future flight within the next year. Not gonna happen.

    Missed gate call by less than three minutes. Spoke to another customer who was in front of me by one minute. He was told by an alleged supervisor that the 45 minute check in rule is no longer followed. Hence, we should not have been prevented from proceeding. We were all charged an extra $75 to change our tickets. I can understand that. The greatest complaint I have is with their counter help. The woman saw five of us standing there, and she was very rude with a very poor attitude. She walked by each of us with something akin to a snarl, holding a piece of paper up in front of us with no other explanation, other than to call the number on the paper and change our tickets. "You have 24 hours to do this," she said, and then she disappeared around the corner and was not seen again. No other help was offered.

    Poor timing on my part. I called to change my ticket. Was told they only have one flight out of Portland a day, and tomorrow's flight was already full. I get to wait for two days now at Portland's airport, probably to be charged some other fee as well. Chalk it all up to education. I now have the pleasure of knowing that when I have to choose another airline in the future, I will not even have to dwell on the thought of using Frontier again. I'd rather walk... on my hands.

    My girls fly to AZ every summer for the past 5 years & normally we book through Southwest but decided to fly out of Frontier this time. Everything about the pricing is a trick so read ALL fine print. $200 extra for Unaccompanied Minor fee plus $30 for their 1 bag. Customer service on 3 occasion told us the fee to Phoenix would be waived however claimed they were unable to provide email showing proof of their claim and that it would be noted in the system. False. Everything they said about the Unaccompanied Minor fees to us about being waived was false.

    I'm 14 years old and I live in New Mexico. I go to Chicago every year, and this was my first experience with Frontier Airlines. As I have stated, I am 14 years old so I am a minor. My family had prepared my tickets online which came up to 350$.. That's an excellent airfare!! Little did I know this is how this company sucks you in..

    My mom had spoken to a representative.. And every thing sounded like a plan. They told us all I had to do was show up at 1am.. And I'd have one free luggage!! When I showed up the representatives which first off, were very rude. Told us that since I was a minor I would have to pay 100$ for a unaccompanied minor! And my luggage was not in fact free but fifty dollars!!! So both ways my family had to fork out 300$!!! When I got on the plane the flight attendants didn't even talk to me or help me with anything! And I just paid 100$ for them to be at my service!!! This airline seems like a good deal.. But trust me you're way better off with American Airlines, U.S Airways, Southwest, etc.!! At least they are up front with their prices and take care of their customers! I ended up paying 950$! And on top of everything they lost my luggage! I will NEVER EVER use this airline in my life.. Take my word for it. They suck!!!
