    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!!!

    Luggage was lost, customer service told me and I quote 'if you don't let me transfer you to baggage voicemail, we can just leave your luggage lost.' 2 hours 15 minutes later I was told once luggage is checked we have no way of tracking it. The only offer to 'make it right' was for a $25 voucher for a future flight. Needless to say I will not fly with Frontier even if they are giving flights away for free.

    I got to Dulles Airport at 6:20 am to fly back to Chicago. Once in line I noticed that the flight I was taking was delayed from 9:00am to 7:49pm. Being I do TV News I had to get back to Chicago for a TV taping. Once I waited for 2.5 hours the Counter help gave me a phone number to call to rectify my problem 801-401-9000. NO ONE WAS THERE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T OPEN TILL 7am MOUNTAIN TIME. It was 7AM East Coast time and I had to wait 3 more hours. I then had to go back in line just to tell the counter help that the number they gave me didn't help. In fact all 4 numbers they gave me just disconnected my call. No one was able to help me. I had to take a cab to Reagan Airport then book a flight on American. Total cost: $465.00 one way! I’m pissed! Once I got back home I tried and tried to get ahold of Frontier and had no luck.

    My wife and I were supposed to fly from Denver to Austin. We checked in 45 minutes before flight and we got to the gate 10 minutes before departure because of the busy long weekend. Agent and supervisor at the gate said the gate closed already and they cannot allow us in. We had no freaking idea why because the flight was standing right in front of the gate. I called up customer service and the agent had me speak to the Supervisor. I explained my situation and she said she submitted full refund request to customer relation and that I would hear from them 24/48 hours. Since I didn't hear back from them, I followed up with the Frontier customer relations after 2 days and representative said that's a misleading information and they cannot refund my money. This is ridiculous. Why would supervisor lie to the customer? - Very dissatisfied! Please be aware of it if you are flying with Frontier.

    On the way to the airport, I had an accident and had to be in the emergency room all day. Later that evening, I called to reschedule my flight for the next day. They said I had to pay over $300 for the change, PLUS I had to repay my baggage fees. They also said that if I faxed proof that I was in the ER, that they would refund $75. Of course, I faxed the proof, waited, and got nothing. I inquired with customer service twice about the refund, and first was told it was being looked into, the second time, I received an email that said... "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. It was all in one email from them that I would not get the refund, and they were sorry I was not happy. NOT HAPPY??? How could I be? I was told by several different people I would get this refund, then told non-refundable and non-reversible? I'm more than angry.

    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?

    On June 21, 2015, arrived at the Sky Harbor International Airport located in Phoenix, Arizona. Upon my arrival at the Frontier Airlines ticket counter at 3:30 a.m., Flight 748 from Phoenix to Denver schedule time of departure was 5:00 a.m., I was notified that the flight was cancelled due to mechanical problems and the next flight to Denver was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Received a letter from the Frontier ticket counter, stating, "If you prefer to purchase a ticket on another airline so as to complete your travel, when accompanied by this letter, Frontier will reimburse the cost of that ticket, up to $400, minus any refunds that you have received."

    Purchased a one-way airline ticket from Phoenix to Denver from Southwest Airlines in the amount of $339.00 with a departure time of 7:45 a.m. My ticket for the 1st leg of my travel from Phoenix to Arizona was a total of $69. Received a refund/credit on June 22, 2015. An e-mail was forwarded to customercarereceipts@flyfrontier.com along with the letter and receipt from Southwest Airlines on 6/26/2015. Received a response from Frontier Airlines stating, "We have received your request, please allow 5-7 days for us to respond to you."

    Today is July 7th, 2015, and a response has not been received. I have contacted Frontier Airlines three (3) times via e-mail and telephone to determine the status of the reimbursement in the amount of $331.00 with no response. Frontier customer service agents, which are located in the Philippines left me on hold for 30 minutes to check the status of my reimbursement, never to return to the phone. In addition, I contacted the Corporate Office, located in Denver, Colorado and my phone call was never answered.

    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. The passenger on the flight that got the voucher showed me the email. If we were on the same plane why is it weather related for me.

    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.

    This is the absolute worst airline I've ever flown. I took two suitcases with me, one to check in and one as carry on. The guy at the ticketing counter was supposed to put that I had a carry on on my ticket. Because of his mistake, I was forced to pay another $35.00 and check my carry on luggage at the gate. 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. On top of that no one answers when you call.

    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. I will recommend that nobody book through Frontier. I was robbed.

    I submitted a claim to Frontier for clothing that was in a suitcase they lost. Some of the clothing still had tags on it from shopping I had done 2 weeks before my trip. They sent me a check today for $270. I was told that if I had receipts, not just my credit card statement, I could have gotten more. When I called about it, their rep told me that her and her husband always save receipts so basically it was my fault. Who is the victim in this? I just want my clothing. Frontier went from being my favorite airline to least. The worst part there is no recourse and no accountability. They can do what they want to me the victim and I am then victimized again from them.

    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.

    I flew with Frontier Airline before and did not know that the airline has changed so much. Frontier Airline is no longer about customer service anymore. 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. I checked in and paid online for two luggage but at the last minute, I only needed one bag. 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.

    The 3 hours fight was horrible. There is no customer service at all. Their goal is to charge the passengers as much as they can to make profit from snack to TV. 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. Misleading consumers and worst airline ever! They are "frontier" in bad customer service.

    This is a bottom rung airlines that you should avoid at all cost. Do not be deceived by their low-cost offers. They charge for a carry-on bag and even a seat assignment. 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!

    Attempted to re-board my flight after a Denver stop and was refused entry back to the same seat I was on prior with my new boarding pass in hand. They slammed the jetway door shut while deciding who to bump. My wife and three kids were on the plane and scared they were leaving without me. When I asked the gate attendant for her ID number, she refused and concealed her badge. I attempted to take a photograph to document the situation and the attendant lunged at me and tried to grab my phone. Had I not retreated, I would have been assaulted without a doubt.

    At this point, Frontier Airlines had broken up a family and would not allow me to board. Finally the manager forced the attendant to open the gateway after three requests. I kept my cool but plan on filing a complaint with the flight standards office. Frontier Airlines has customer care 3 hours a day, but which time zone that applies to is unknown. I advise anyone to pony up and use another airline. The pilot in command is to have full authority of the aircraft by law but in real life they do not. That's a fact, ask any of them.

    We had planned a trip to Louisiana and had made it to New Orleans just fine. The seats not comfortable at all, but it was okay for such a cheap flight. 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.

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!

    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.

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.

    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..

    I had to fly to New Orleans for business, leaving on Sunday June 7th. Our plane arrives but Frontier gives our plane to a previous flight that was going to Atlanta where their plane was broken. We were left to endure the airport and the rude and angry ground crew for four hours, 10:30 pm when they cancelled the flight. Then spent three hours putting people in hotels. At a point early in the ordeal, the local ground crew supervisor gets on the PA and states, "We aren't gonna take anybody's attitude. You have attitude, you going to jail", at which point there are three local police officers on their segways surrounding the 150+ passengers.

    Around 12:30 I finally receive my voucher for a Comfort Suites, which I finally get to around 1 only to find that they had told the ground crew they only had 19 rooms and there were still 40 people in the lobby trying to get a room. I just went and found a hotel and purchased my own. All of their customer service is mostly overseas and now I understand that they are contracting out all ground services and telephone services so you aren't even dealing with a FRONTIER employee. When a company does this it is to cut costs, so GUESS WHAT KIND OF SERVICE YOU ARE NOW GOING TO GET. I am glad they fired their CEO, they NEED to fire all of their MANAGEMENT. Never again on this low rate airline and I suggest no one does either.

    I realize your purpose and your concern for the monetary bottom line. Too bad Frontier Leadership is more concerned with the numbers rather than the "customer" and how these cuts in cost and comfort will turn customers away in the end. I am only one person and it probably is not a big deal to Frontier... just one person complaining, but there were 200+ individuals on that plane, and trust me, they were not happy either. The sad thing here is that I did not even complain about the fact that my luggage was destroyed by your people on this trip. I was more concerned about the uncomfortable 3 hour trip. It's not things that make a good company. It's how they treat the customer.

    Ridiculous behavior for an adult. I could provide the name of the worst of the two attendants but that would be stooping to the same juvenile playground bullying that they showcased on a flight that I had first hand account of. Over worked? I don't know. Under paid? I don't know. I have tried to venture a number of guesses for any excuse to inexcusable behavior. The conclusion is nothing would give cause for the treatment of two different passengers (that were merely seat mates but not together).

    The interaction that occurred would make a good argument that this crew should not be working with people, should not represent a company and perhaps should not be employed at all. I know one passenger was an elderly woman that was on the verge of a diabetic attack and was refused a soft drink because she only had cash and no credit card. Acceptable policy in 2015 but an unacceptable berating of an 80 something year old lady that was nothing but kind. Same attendant but different moment, a woman (professional) passenger asked a question that was apparently beneath the attendant, resulting in an attitude that I would expect a mouthy teenage be above.

    To quote, "We're done here..." This was NOT the response to some ridiculous passenger request or mistreatment. This was to a couple of normal questions/requests that were asked politely. Frontier will continue to lose customers. I have seen complaints alleging price gouging, on time performance, cleanliness, etc. However, when you (as an airline or company for that matter) cannot treat your customers with common courtesy, you WILL fail. Not only the lack of courtesy, this crew went above and beyond by being rude, complacent, and even threatening. Goodbye Frontier, my dollars and my business are going elsewhere. I usually price shop but to spend a little extra to negate Frontiers abhorrent behavior is worth it.

    I had a 1.5 hour flight from Cincinnati to Atlanta. This flight ended up being 12 hours. I was supposed to leave Cincinnati at 7am. Got a delay. They said first 7 hours. Immediately I called Frontier asking about my options, because the business that was scheduled in Atlanta was pertinent, and needed my attention. The bag that I had as a carry on, was charged $30, and contains my medicine. They said that I would have to go completely to the Terminal gate, ask for my bag, go back through security. I was very disappointed at this point because I also had a scheduled dialysis treatment to keep. While making my initial complaint, I heard over the intercom that they were offering Breakfast and Lunch vouchers, along with flight vouchers, for future travel with Frontier. That was nice, but still no medicine resolution. The people don't seem to care that I was a dialysis patient, that needed special assistance.

    I got to Atlanta, talked to a manager first because my food vouchers wasn't working. Embarrassed because I ordered food I couldn't pay for. She didn't have on a name tag, was very impolite, and had no empathy. I asked her to think like it was her Dad stranded in a Airport in a unfamiliar city, virtually homeless.

And these were flights that were canceled 24 hours before our flight. No help from reservations in the phone. They said we would need to take it up with the personnel at the airport.

    Flight on May 19 from Atlanta (ATL) to Portland (PDX) with layover in Denver (DEN). Pulled out of TSA security because pre-printed boarding pass would not read properly. ATL departure 4 hours delayed. No explanation but not weather related, no apologies, no complimentary soft drinks (1.99 each). Gates at ATL changed 3 times but not reflected on airport monitors. ATL gate agents telephoning DEN for direction, instructions and information. No boarding pass scanners. Pre-printed boarding passes ripped in half. Computers not available. Total confusion re boarding passengers. National security concern? Likely. Passengers connecting to PDX and Salt Lake City (SLC) told connecting flights would be held.

    Upon arrival at DEN (May 20, 1:00 a.m.), pilot instructs passengers who have connecting flights to PDX and SLC to disembark first to catch connecting flights. Guess what? Connecting flight had already departed. Passengers directed to wrong gates, customer service and told the following: No seats available until 9:00 pm May 20 or on May 21-22). No meal vouchers or complimentary/discounted hotel vouchers. Passengers told all hotels fully booked. Passengers told they can remain overnight at gate for standby status on next available flights (7:45 a.m. May 20 to PDX). Have photos of passengers sleeping at terminal. Birds also flying over sleeping passengers.

    Sidebar: Family connecting to Detroit with ailing elderly mother in wheelchair, catheter, tremors, Alzheimer's told no seats available for a couple of days, no hotel rooms available. Frontier customer service personnel expected ailing elderly woman remain at gate with family on standby. Family purchased 6 one-way tickets from DEN to Detroit on Delta.

    Customer service states I am #7 on standby list and there should be several open seats due to passengers missing flight from international connections. Really? 8 African American standby passengers given boarding passes on 7:45 a.m. flight from DEN to PDX. Asked gate agent (African American) why I did not receive boarding pass since I was #7 on standby. Gate agent stated standby passengers are boarded AFTER ticketed passengers. Gate agent then pointed to 4-5 Caucasian ticketed passengers who were bumped from flight.

    Gate agent bumped Caucasian ticketed passengers in favor of African American standby passengers. Purchased one-way ticket on another carrier. Total trip time from ATL to PDX with no sleep = 40 hours. Will never fly Frontier again. Sad, they used to be a decent airline years ago. Fly Frontier? Enjoy an overnight stay at an airport terminal, experience the luxury of delayed flights, lose weight because gate eateries are closed, and play the "can you guess your departure gate" game.

    One of the worst airline service I have received so far. I fly almost every week with other airlines. Last week for first time I tried Frontier Airlines because they are cheap, I felt that would reduce expenses to my company. But in my first ever flight they forgot to put my checked baggage in plane. So I did not receive my bag at that evening from Trenton NJ to Minneapolis, MN. Well this happens once in while, so I file claim right away and they assured me, I will receive baggage next day, as another flight will be next day. 2nd day they again forgot to put the bag. 3rd day again they forgot all the way 4th day I receive the bag.

    During this missing bag, I have called all the airport from where I have start my journey - TTN to where I have landed MSP, and this is direct flight. Both baggage service have no idea where is the bag till all four days. I also called central baggage claim phone number. Lady on phone guiding me where to file claim for bag online, and she guided me to website feedback form, as they do not have baggage missing form online. (Website feedback form will not have any thing that allow to work on my case that was ridiculously hilarious when she said "We use same form for all complaints.") Back to MSP gate agents, they are answering my questions so I asked them for their name, as when as Frontier representative you are answering question I need to know who answered my question. They refrained to give me their name and hide their IDs. (Unbelievable!!)

    After 4 days I do receive bag that is good part, but now comes to claim for 4 days expenses. So I submitted all receipts (and I have not bought expensive cloths just inner cloth and 3 pair shirt pants total less then $80-90). When I submit claim, supervisor told me my check will be ready next day. So I went next day and they told me now this claim will take 4 weeks, and they will mail me the check. They got my address on one small piece of paper and did not provided any confirmation that who will work on that case. When I asked "You are not using any form or any thing and this piece of paper can be missed any time." She said "This is how it works at Frontier." So I am not holding my breath to get that check.

And, they charge you for all snacks and beverages, even coffee and coke.

    Frontier has just gone so downhill over the past few years. They epitomize the phrase "nickeled and dimed!" They came up with good fares on other travel sites and then even on their site, but then you start to book a ticket and they charge you FOR YOUR SEAT ON THE PLANE which jacks your price up. And they charge you for every seat you have on every leg (i.e. you have a layover in LAX, they charge you for both seats). Don't even get me started on the baggage charges! I flew with them two years ago and thought it was awful the way they were treating people at the airport about the baggage fees. I figured I would try again, but with the extra charges at every turn, they definitely were not the cheapest option, and the way they go about business is impressively horrible.

    Thought things were past but no, the hidden fees of actually having to pay for a seat ($15 - $45 depending on whether or not you wanted to be able to feel your legs after the flight). Mistakenly picked the bulkhead row not realizing that they have an airbag mounted to the seatbelt making the small seat with no legroom feel even smaller. Then an extra $30 to carry-on anything larger than a purse.

    And when I got on the plane I was met with all the flight attendants standing around talking, blocking the aisle so that I couldn't get past (I was first in line) and were completely unhelpful except to boss me around on where to put my bag in the overhead to accommodate the people sitting in the six "torture" seats (the bulkhead row).

I read their policy and even called to confirm everything for departure out of Trenton, NJ. I thought wow this was absolutely what my friends had been telling me...and everything was all good.

Customer service sounds like its outsourced to a third world country because we couldn't understand each other. The kiosks in the airport are always DOWN!!! The chicks at the check out counters need to stay off their cell phones. All they do is freakin scroll through Facebook.

I get to the gate and there are 2 planes delayed one going to Louisiana and the other to Vegas. The place was mobbed with aggravated people, babies crying, complaints and sheer pandemonium. The Frontier employees were some nasty heffas!!! I went to ask her if my flight would be on time...she said "didn't they tell you at check in that your flight would be delayed an hour and half?"

    I felt my fist ball up and I had to walk away. Then as that Vegas flight finally begins to board, they made 3 announcements that they were taking off and shutting the doors. How bout the captain wasn't on the plane. This guy was coming from the snack shop. He was banging on the doors waving his hand in the window. I'm looking at this in disbelief.

    Since Frontier has apparently expanded its service from Chicago, the experience has become intolerable. The airline has no staff for processing checked baggage and was utterly unprepared for the scheduled flights and number of people. Thus, passengers must wait in separates lines to: Line 1) Receive a baggage tag (30 min), Line 2) Turn in checked bag (40 plus minutes), Line 3) Only after the first two lines enter the security line.

    This process is absurd and takes at least twice as long as flying on any other airline (and this is from a passenger who flew out at 6:30 am so I cannot imagine how long someone must wait at peak times). Needless to say I missed my flight and probably hundreds of other people this morning did as well. I was forced to pay the standard $75 per ticket (standard for airlines with adequate staffing) to switch to the next flight (which was only offered to me on the phone only, NOT when I inquired at the check-in desk before entering the 45 min baggage drop-off line). Unbelievably dysfunctional for a large, international airport.

    While we were on a flight from Chicago (ORD) to Tampa (TPA), my husband was getting into his seat when the flight attendant closed the overhead compartment before he was seated and it hit him in the head. He passed out for a few minutes, but the flight attendant didn't seem concerned. When we arrived in Tampa and picked up our luggage his new suitcase that was given to him for Christmas of 2014 had no handle and there was no one in customer service. I wrote a letter to central baggage and was informed by ** in that department that the airlines don't cover handles on luggage. I informed her that this was the first time it was used and the handle was totally torn off and she basically said "too bad, we don't cover broken zippers or torn off handles". Will I ever fly Frontier again - ABSOLUTELY NOT! BTW, I had the flight insured by Travel Guard and they did nothing. Their policy # was **.

    My 50th birthday in May 22nd 2015. I paid for 2 tickets to Atlanta to spend that time with my children. The reservations were made 6 weeks prior. The entire flight was cancelled without explanation and I couldn't catch a subsequent flight to get to Atlanta in time. Frontier has no agreement with other airlines so they couldn't cross honor the ticket. Other flights from other airlines were landing and taking off. I truly don't know what happened. An explanation would have helped. I'll pay more. I will NEVER book with Frontier again.

    I give it one star because there is not an option for zero stars. On May 19th my family arrived at the Frontier desk with more than 45 mins check in time. The attendant denied us checking in our bags. We asked to see a manager to help us get checked in and they took a long time to find her. By the time she got to the desk she said we were late and could not check us in. The manager rudely said in Spanish to coworkers that she could open the flight but that she wasn't going to do it for us. She spent more time being rude to us than trying to help us. Because of the poor lack of attention and customer service we had to pay booking fees to reschedule, pay another night for a hotel and car rental, and now missed work. This could have been all prevented if they would have checked in our bags instead of wasting time finding an incompetent manager.

    Worst air line we have ever flown in. Don't waste your time, pay a little extra somewhere else if you have to. Don't try to save those $50 to get horrible service and pay hidden fees.

    My flight time in Denver to Atlanta was changed 7 times while at the airport. When we arrived in Atlanta we waited for over an hour at the luggage carousel and when the luggage didn't arrive, I walked to the Frontier luggage office. I could see my luggage inside however the office was locked. After waiting more than 1/2 hour the airline office next door advised they had been gone for over 2 hours. Since it was after midnight due to delayed flight, I attempted to call Frontier to determine who I could retrieve my luggage. After numerous calls where I was either transferred back in queue, give a number where their complaint department is only open for a 3 hour window or advised by supervisors "This is out of the scope of my control" I became frustrated.

    My husband had to drive over 100 miles back to the airport (2+ hour drive) to retrieve our luggage. I am now on my 11th call attempting to get in contact with someone to voice my concern. I have now call their Consumer Affairs group which only takes call for the 3 hour window and been on hold for over 1 hour. I did complete their online survey but, not sure this will garner any results to the issue.

    She got me a ticket on Southwest for a cost to me of $376. However, this is not the worse. My wife got a email stating "Its time to check in for your 455 flight" the very flight I was told I was NOT on. I am now sitting on the phone waiting for customer service for over an hour and I am sure this will be of NO avail either.

    This is, without a doubt, the WORST AIRLINE AVAILABLE! I have never experienced more unprofessional-ism and rudeness from a company than I did on my flight #1016 from Tampa to Philadelphia this past weekend. When I walked into the airport the lady at the Tampa counter, ** was not only incredibly RUDE but she didn't even tell me my flight was delayed 4.5 hours! I even had to ask her for my baggage claim ticket, when I know for a fact, because on other Frontier flights it has been handed to me upon check-in, that this is the policy. When I asked for an explanation about the delay, I was told the LIE that it was a shift change, when I later found out, from another Frontier employee, it was a malfunctioning plane that had to be repaired.

    Then, at the gate we were delayed another 30 minutes but were given NO EXPLANATION as to why! Indeed, the ladies at the gate did not even come onto the intercom to let us know when we would be boarding. Then, when I actually got onto the plane, the blond flight attendant for flight 1016, who never introduced herself to us, threatened to remove me from the flight after I complained about the numerous delays and lack of communication. Even when I tried to call the Frontier customer service line, I experienced rudeness from another employee who did not even introduce herself to me on the phone. I have never seen so much unprofessional-ism in a company, and I assure you not only will I NEVER FLY WITH FRONTIER AGAIN, but I will telling everyone I come in contact with as well as leaving several reviews on Google, Yelp and Facebook. They should be ashamed at how you let your employees treat your paying customers!!

    What the horrible experience as first time customer with frontier airline! I suppose to leave from DEN to TAM at 12am on 5/18/15. I arrived at 11:18 which was 3 mins late for checked in (the front desk agent told me they have 45 mins cutoff time for check in) and she would not be able to print my boarding pass. The funny thing is that I don't even have a bag and there was barely anyone at the security so I would have more than enough time to go through security and to catch my flight. Instead she had to talk to her supervisor which took about 10 mins and the supervisor told me I had to pay $75 and rebook the for tomorrow or I can change my airline and pay $277 to flight tonight. If I choose to pay the $277, since frontier doesn't do any refund, I can call customer care to see if they can give me a future credit. I ended up paid $75 to change my flight to tomorrow.

    I had flew with different airlines in the past. When I was in the similar situation, most of the airline agents will try their best to help you get on the plane and get you home. However, with frontier, I fell like they didn't want to help me at all, instead they want to delay me even more. They just want my rebooking fee. I didn't not appreciate that at all. I understand the airline wants to make as much money as possible, however, customer service is also important! With what happened tonight, I would never book with this airline or recommend anyone I know to book with frontier. What a rip off.

    Ok so I booked a flight from CVG to MCO for two of my grandson. I started out on Kayak then it switched to Priceline. Was not able to select seats for them so I made a call to Frontier. One grandson is 22 and the other one is 11 so of course I want them to sit together. I was told I had to pay to choose their seats and that I would have to pay 25.00 for each of their bags each way so that's 100.00 then 32.00 to book seats after. I paid 350.00 round trip. What a joke. So I cancelled. The first girl I spoke to said it was cancelled. She hung up on me so I called back to see that it was cancelled and no it was not.

    So this guy said he would take care of it. Ok I asked for proof that it was. It sent 6 times my original invoice where I had paid nothing with a credit. So next thing I know I am being switched to customer relations. Guess what? They were closed. So I call again. This makes the third call. This guy got it canceled and sent me an invoice that showed a credit to my account but he told me I would have to hang up before he could sent it. Never heard of that. I am sure their call center is in. Another could not understand the people I was speaking to. What an experience. Now I have to wait for refund to book their flight again.

And then kept trying and by the time the in duty manager came to help her we had 35 min and they couldn't get us on the flight... Claimed auto close and nothing she could do. No line at security so we could have made the flight if not for the check in agent! She was new and to keep lifting her sleeve for codes written in her arm and hand to peck one key at a time in. Couldn't even type! We truly missed our flight because the agent didn't know what she was doing! Frontier shouldn't put employees in such a crucial point not trained especially when they can't get you checked in in a reasonable amount of time. The agent's lack of training causes customers to miss a flight and then they can't make an override to correct the situation in trained agents make!

    Next flight Frontier had was 10 hours later. They put us on that flight so generously waiving the fee for their agent's lack of training but we missed a graduation ceremony. We were close to the cut off time but within the time frame allowed by 10 min which she confirmed to supervisor. I've never experienced this lack of training and also the lack of available or caring assistance to help the new agent! I'm angry because their untrained agent caused us to miss our nephew's big day but also that no customer service not even an apology by the manager to us the paying customer!

    Frontier Airlines are absolutely ridiculous. Our flight to Orlando was delayed 5 and a half hours. Try that one with two impatient children at the gate with about 100 other people also waiting. We did not get even a voucher to eat until 10 mins before every restaurant closed in airport. When we finally got to board and the plane started its engine, it sounded like it was going to break down - absolutely terrifying for us as well as our children. Thank goodness we made it to Orlando.

    But on our flight back to Cincinnati, the plane left early as we approached the gate as time specified. Gate was closed and plane was backing out and no one was at desk to accommodate us. So when we called Customer Service, we got hung up on 3 multiple times. So we walked back to front desk to talk to the supervisor, which took over 45 mins to come talk to us. In the end they did not help us in any way or refund our tickets. Thanks for nothing. Will never fly this airline ever again or will not recommend Frontier to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

    I am floored by how much Frontier sucks. The only time in history I wish negative stars existed. For years I stood up for this company amongst my friends (that travel as much if not more than me every year). The rates, times, and destinations work for me. Over the past several months I went from loving to loathing this company. Being from the West coast and having a place in Vegas, I used them every few months. In November (2014) they broke a clip on my garment bag. I got the typical 'normal wear and tear in transport' line.

    Fast-forward to January 2015, they tore a brand new duffel bag. No literally, I opened it out of the plastic and packed it the morning of my flight out. I got the same response as the first time! Again, I booked a round trip to SoCal. I opted to actually pick and pay for the seats this time. The night before my flight I went online to check-in. Instead of row 4, they had me in row 24?! I called and was on hold for 1:21. Not 1 min 21 sec, 1 hr 21 min! I was assured they would get me my seats back when checking in my luggage. I arrived at the airport and they said they couldn't make the change. All they did was give me a card to call customer service.

    Upon retuning from the trip I called them. After being on hold for over an hour, I opted to send an email. It took them nearly six weeks to get back to me to say they would finally credit my card for the seats I paid for and never got. The customer service does not exist any more at Frontier. They are the biggest FAIL in the domestic air travel industry! People joke about Spirit, but their customer service is comparable to Nordstrom's compared to Frontier. BK ''Failtier'.

    I'm a loyal Southwest customer, but when SW did not have the flight time I needed I was pleasantly surprised that Frontier offered a reasonably priced flight at my preferred time. I have very fast internet and was noticing long hang-times for each Frontier page to load. I selected my 6:40 pm evening flight, for 2 passengers, and clicked the continue button. First time, page failed to load, so I clicked refresh and it started me back at the blank start page. Second time, I had success, defaults to the 6 am time, so I mindfully clicked the 6:40 pm dot and continue. Page took a while to load and once it did I realized that I was back to the 6 am time...back button = start over. Third time was the charm, 6:40 pm still showing as I continued on to book/payment page.

    Each page took at least a full minute to load as I continued through all of the price Add-Ons. Even confirming seats is an add-on...which bring the flight back up to the price of competitors -- frustrating! Finish line...paid and by now had to leave for a meeting. That was 3 days ago. So now it's the weekend and I'm printing up all of my itinerary information for the trip -- car, hotels, flights, etc., when I suddenly notice that our flight confirmation says 6 AM! Are You Kidding Me??? We have meetings that morning!

    I called customer service and after 15 minutes the result was, "I'm sorry. We provide for a 24 hour change/refund period after booking, but you are past that." The flight price was now $30 more each plus a $75 per ticket change penalty. So changing the flight would cost slightly MORE than going in to do a new booking of the flight at the new price and just throwing away the original money!

    I asked to be escalated to a supervisor -- sometimes this has been where they "accidentally" drop the call while you're holding. After a 4 minute hold (not too bad) I DID make it to a supervisor. She asked my name, asked what flight I needed, and said she could do a 1-time courtesy change. She's emailing new confirmation, "Did we need anything else?" "No." "Thanks for using Frontier"...click -- hangs up. I was freaked out, since I usually keep them on the line until I received the email confirmation showing change. I looked at my husband thinking, "Was that for real, or did she just 'blow me off' with what I wanted to hear and hang up?" "It's recorded, right?" Email confirmation popped in right then. So...if this happens to you...escalate to a Supervisor. I gave 3 stars because they DID correct situation -- but it took a level of force and persistence that many people just don't have.

The security line took over an hour and 20 minutes. Upon arriving at the gate the flight said it left at 6:45 pm, earlier than their website and it was at the time 6:32 pm. the gate closed in front of us. We asked the gentleman that worked for Frontier to call and see if they would let both us and all the other people aboard since security at the airport had issues and held everyone up. They agreed someone would come open the door, but 15 minutes later the plane left. I asked to speak to a representative about it at the airport, they offered to send us the next day for a $300 fee. Later, he encouraged I call customer service to get the fee waived.

    I sat on the phone waiting in the airport with my children for 1 hour 27 minutes before a representative answered on the phone. They informed me they would not for any reason refund my tickets, my baggage fees, or waive my rescheduling fee. They also informed me that the flight the attendant was trying to schedule me on the following morning was full, and they would have to place me on an evening flight for $300.00 more. We hung up, and I requested a manager. She came, and she began looking into the issue. She then told me all flights were booked the next day as well, and could not fly me out until Monday with a $300.00 fee. I could not wait two additional days for a flight from Orlando to O'hare for a missed flight that was not my fault.

    The bags flew and I was forced to drive. Half way to Chicago I received a call from O'hare Frontier saying that they had "my bags." I told them I was still in route and would be there closer to 4pm to pick up my two bags. Upon arrival to the baggage claim, they told me they only had the one bag and they were unsure where the second bag went. I had to fill out a form with them, and did not receive correspondence for a few days.

    A few days later I received a call from Frontier Airlines in O'hare saying they had found my bag and were sending it via FedEx and gave me a tracking number. I was thrilled. An hour later I received another call from them saying they actually had NOT found my bag and would keep in contact. I have had no correspondence since then, cannot find a direct number for Frontier in O'hare, and after hours of waiting on hold I cannot get a customer service agent on the phone to discuss this issue.

    I recently traveled Frontier airlines for a weekend visit with family. I checked my bag/paid checked baggage fee because I thought that would be much more convenient than worrying with dragging it with me on board my flight. Was I ever wrong!!!! We had a rather uneventful, pleasant flight to our destination, but that all went wrong when we arrived and I learned that my bag did not make it to the baggage claim area. I spend 45 minutes trying to find someone in the airport to assist me with locating my luggage.

    When I finally did find someone, they were pretty confident that my bag never left my origination site. Worse than that, the next flight coming into the city from that area wasn't due to arrive for 2 days---after my return flt home. I asked what I was expected to do without my luggage for the next 2, the duration of my trip. The agent told me to purchase items that I'd need and save my receipts to submit with a reimbursement claims ticket at the end of my trip. I did just that, purchased toiletries, underwear, sleepwear, and clothes for the next two for my daughter and me. I had to go without other items some of which were essential, like medication and phone chargers.

    We returned home on Sunday and discovered that our bag was not held in the Frontier baggage office as it was supposed to have been, because that's what the agent noted on our claim. Not only was the bag not at the airport of origination, none of the very unhelpful people at the ticket counter could tell me where it was. It's one thing to know that your bag didn't get delivered where it was supposed to have been delivered, but to learn 3 days later that still, no one had any ideas for where it could be. I was given phone numbers to call to try to track it down, but of either never got any to answer the calls, held for super long recorded messages and music, or when I finally did reach live people was forwarded to voice mailboxes in offices that were not even open.

    On Monday I received a call that the bag had been located/finally arrived in the city I'd just visited but would be returned to my home airport later in the day. I drove 27 miles back to the airport to retrieve my bag later in the day...but the issue now is I cannot get ANY follow-up on my reimbursement! I've called several numbers, talked to multiple people, held on recorded messages and music for hours on end, and still 8 days later... nothing! This has been the worst travel experience ever.

    Worst airline experience ever. I booked a flight weeks in advance for my mother to fly out to California for a visit.

This elongated the opportunity to book any other flights to make it to California from Florida that day. I called customer service and they stated that there's nothing they could do, they are not affiliated with any other airlines, they would not accommodate another flight that day and sent my mom home to fly out the following morning at 830 to arrive in San Diego at 4:55 pm PST (7:55 EST). I will never book a flight through Frontier again no matter what the states cost savings. On a side note, you may save a little on the cost of the flight but you will be charged $35 for a checked bag and $25 for a carry on... Each way. I highly discourage anyone from flying Frontier.

    I thought my experience was horrible but compared to some of the things I have read here I should consider myself lucky! I flew from Cleveland to Fort Meyers on 4/18. I booked the flight in early December 2014 and it was changed in mid February. There was no reaching customer service to discuss. I tried at least 8 times over 2 weeks and my minimum hold time was 35 minutes. I have yet to speak to an actual Customer Service rep. I paid for extra leg room as I am 6'0" tall. I also paid for the person I was traveling with and we were not seated in rows with extra leg room. I also noticed that several people sitting around me also said they paid for the same thing and did not get it.

    The flight attendants on the way down were like elementary school teachers as no more than 1 person could wait for a restroom and we all had to stand behind Row 4. People unaware of this were reprimanded each time someone walked up front. We did arrive 30 minutes early which was a nice surprise but it was short-lived when we waited over an hour and a half for our baggage. Four other aircraft landed and unloaded the baggage before we figured out there was 1 baggage handler working (for Frontier) and he was on break from 9:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. There was no Frontier employee in the entire airport. We were told by airport security to "contact the police." When we did they said, "This is between you and Frontier." Several people tried to reach someone via the customer service line in this 1.5 hour time frame - none of them were successful.

    During the week we tried several times to call into customer service to share this issue. One time we were given a 20-minute hold time status, after 8 minutes, a recording comes on and says that the wait time is now 40 minutes, then after another 10 minutes on hold, a voice recording comes on to say, "Our office is currently closed for a meeting, please call at another time...CLICK." Disconnected. We ended up issuing complaints on the website but with no resolution. Our trip back was even better. We got to the airport at 5:15 but no one was at the kiosk for Frontier till 6:15 and these were "contract employees" - not Frontier employees. We explained the situation of what we dealt with on the way down and was told there was nothing she could do. The manager was **. She could not provide a refund for the leg room we did not get nor could she allow us to exchange that for paying for our baggage.

    Again, we explained our frustration and was told we could take another airline if we didn't like it. I admit I got a little vocal (as in a voice raised) and was quickly told she could (and would) throw me off the plane for insulting her coworkers. I said nothing about her coworkers - it was about her and said to someone in my party. Interesting that she had no authority to escalate us to someone actually willing to help us but she certainly had the authority to get me booted from the aircraft. At 6:30 we saw our 8:20 flight was delayed to 9:50 p.m. No email was sent to us - we saw it on the departure screen. Later we asked the people at the boarding desk (also contracted workers - not Frontier employees) why there was a delay and they said "A computer problem in Cleveland where the aircraft was coming from."

    The flight took off at 10:15 p.m. and since our flight was so delayed we now had to take a $55 cab ride since it was 1:05 a.m. once we got our bags. I suppose we were lucky to get our bags but this was a direct flight - so it involved little thought. Bottom line is our condo arrangements ended up being an added expense due to the fact that they altered our initial departure. Our rides to and from the airport both ways were negatively affected (and costly) by delays at the airport.

    I paid $50 for leg room I never saw and I have yet to speak with any Frontier employee because the customer service line is such a joke.

    If I was even offered a free flight with this airline and wouldn't even take it as I cannot believe the uncaring attitude and sheer disregard for negative customer experiences. How this company stays in business is beyond me. If I were the CEO (*David Siegel) I would resign in disgust. What a horrible reputation this company has and will continue to have if it does not take this feedback seriously.

    I purchased a round trip ticket in Feb. Frontier changed times etc more than once. Got to my destination and was about to return, called to check in before leaving to find out our tickets were cancelled! I would get a refund in 8 wks for the balance of the return cost x 6 passengers or wait 6 days for a new flight. UGH. It has been over 8 weeks so I called today for my refund status and they hang up on me. Called back, they said I never had a return flight, then after fighting with them several times, they can only refund the money on credit to get another ticket, LOL really, to leave me high and dry again and purchase another ticket for five times the price on a last min return. Really who does business like this???

    Seats were old and caused excruciating pain for entire trip. New hard sided luggage was dented and sunscreen bottle broke, caps of other bottles opened. Return trip: Cruise ships get in early am but Frontier won't allow you to check bags any earlier than 2 hours before flight (Other airlines are 4-5 hours). So we couldn't get anything to eat, buy a book to read, etc... When it came time for the agents to start work they couldn't be bothered to come out on time. The two girls acted like it was a bother to stop their conversation to wait on people. The guy was more pleasant but since he didn't wait on us I can't say how pleasant. I can tell you the TSA agents told us that the Frontier agents never start on time. The return flight was better because there was an empty seat next to me and I could change positions. The one nice thing I can say is that the flight staff were very nice on both flights.

    On March 30, 2015, I flew for the 1st time ever on Frontier Airlines. Because I wasn't familiar w/ them I called a week in advance before my flight from Atlanta to Indianapolis to work a stage production that I have worked for 14yrs. I contacted the airline to notify them that one of my checked items would be a make-up kaboodle w/special effects supplies and tools. The executive producer had already purchased insurance for my luggage and I was charged an addition $100 to secure my kaboodle.

    I arrived on my departure day 2 hours early to make sure that if I had additional security issues I would have the time to address them. Check in was fine and the rep put red fragile stickers all over the case. Boarding was fine, but as I sat in my window seat I saw the baggage cart arrive and a heavy set light skinned black guy started loading the luggage on the ramp. I saw the kaboodle and he grabbed the handle and apparently it unlatched and I saw him reattached it, but then he still threw it on the ramp. It didn't matter that the warning stickers was on there.

    When I arrived in Indianapolis I was supposed to gather my items, get my rental car, check into the extended stay hotel before the office closed at 7pm and get to the theater. My flight arrived late not sure how that happened since we left on time. When we arrived I went to the baggage which was closed. Lights off and door locked. I then went to wait for my other luggage not expecting my kaboodle to come down the conveyor belt in pieces and supplies, stage blood, brushes, latex, tools, etc coming down the belt. Other passengers started helping me gather what we could. FINALLY someone arrived in the office I showed them my damages and filled out a baggage report.

    I spoke with the manager ** and to date I still have not been compensated nor refunded any of my money. I had to spend $577 to just replace supplies and my tools so I could perform my job in Indianapolis. Per the 2 men that work baggage in Indianapolis (one of them was the Baggage manager) said when they opened the hatch door that my stuff was everywhere. But my concern is you still put it on the belt??? I called the corporate office and their customer service is curt and nasty. I was redirected back to Indianapolis people who NEVER returns my calls. I emailed a complaint and still no help. FRONTIER AIRLINES IS TERRIBLE AND THAT'S THE ONLY WORD I CAN USE WITHOUT CUSSING.

    I purchased tickets in Oct. 2014 on Frontier with 4 seats for myself and family. In March when we about to travel, I went to check in and seats were wiped out. Frontier hung up on me after I waited on hold for 53 minutes. The whole time on hold, the message is saying "we make it easy for you to go online and get things done." So, I rebooked my seats online - only to find out that they will not refund me for this. I basically had to BUY seats 2x. No one apologized or took any ownership over the fact that they wiped out my seats and I was the one who spent tons of time to rebook. I have cut up my Frontier Mastercard and will do my best to limit my future purchases on Frontier.

    First, the Denver Business Journal reported that, following an increase in complaints for Frontier, the company executives were "laser-focused" on complaints. The customer service line is open for three hours a day, from 8:00 am 'til 11:00 am. My experiences are the same as many: I has a three-hour delay for an unavailable part to DC, then another 2 hour delay on the way back for unknown reasons. Takes 30 minutes to check your bag when you are the only person in line. It takes over an hour for the bags to get to the carousel. Everyone on the reservation system is from the Philippines with limited English language skills. No food on the plane except M. & Ms. Pringles, beef jerky, gummy bears, Rice Crispy treats. This used to be a GREAT airline. I fly all the time and was a Summitt member. No more, since they were acquired by Republic.

    I made a reservation with Frontier Airlines to fly from Denver, CO to OKC in October or November 2014 for a flight on April 2, 2015. I got a confirmation e-mail and later a generic e-mail saying there had been changes to my itinerary. I went online to see what the changes were, didn't notice any difference, selected my seats and paid for stretch seating. When I arrived on April 2, the CSR couldn't find me in the computer. It took 3 CSRs about 45 minutes to figure out that they no longer serviced OKC.

    I freaked out, I had driven 2.5 hours to get to the airport and my sister was driving 4 hours to pick me up. I kept saying "I just need to get on a flight, I drove 2.5 hours to get here and my sister is on her way to pick me up". The CSRs just kept saying "we don't fly to OKC anymore", NO KIDDING. No effort was made to help me in any way, and the CSRs seemed intent on proving that I made a mistake.

    At that point, I didn't care who made the mistake; I just needed to get on a flight. Once I was able to snatch my ID out of her hands, I ran over to the departing flight board, found that Southwest was flying to OKC at around the same time, immediately went online using my smartphone and made reservations in 5 minutes. Southwest has earned my repeat business, and I plan to NEVER FLY FRONTIER if at all possible.

    They had not even refunded my money until I showed up at the airport. If I had seen a return charge I would have realized that the flight had been cancelled. Issue 1: generic e-mail which didn't specify that the flight had been cancelled. Issue 2: extremely poor customer service (exceptionally poor). Issue 3: money not refunded in a timely fashion.

    Upon checking in at Frontier counter in Indianapolis, was told my computer bag was not standard size, and I would need to pay to take it with me. $30.00, which inflamed me, as I routinely take same bag on American Eagle flights twice a week, placing under the seat. When leaving Denver with same bag, no questions or concerns were raised, and placed said bag under the seat. I feel she was wanting me to have an altercation with her. Egging me on with derogatory comments. Saying I could choose to be taken off the flight. No refund though. Truly felt she had no service training, or just really didn't care to be accommodating in any way.

    This has left a very sour taste in my mouth, and will not be flying this airline again. Even if the flight is dirt cheap, which is the adjective I will use to describe Frontier from now on.

    On Friday March 27, 2015 my boyfriend and I received a phone call from Frontier Airlines. The agent informed us that Frontier had overbooked our upcoming flight to Atlanta. The agent asked if we would be interested in changing our flight date to Monday instead of Sunday. To compensate us for the inconvenience the agent offered us two $600.00 vouchers, one for each passenger.

    We took our flight to Atlanta on Monday as agreed. Our return trip was scheduled for Wednesday, April 1. Take off was scheduled for 4:25 for flight F9607. We returned the rental car to Enterprise at Atlanta International Airport. Our receipt stated that we left Enterprise at 3:24. We arrived to the check-in counter with minutes to spare. We went to the kiosks and none of them worked. We got in line and waited as the agents served others. Then we got to the counter the agent informs us that we are 16 minutes late for check-in. We were told check in ended at 3:40, meaning the time would then be 3:56. However, by all other accounts the time was only 3:37.

    We are floored. The kiosks did not work at all and online check-in gave us error messages. In fact when I called to check the flight status, the destination did not even match our confirmation number. We were refused a boarding pass. I called and was told I would have to pay a fee to rebook. The agent in ATL told me I would have to make up a "sob story" in order to get my fee waived.

    We ended up taking a bus which broke down in the middle of a storm and we had to wait for 6 hours until the sun came up. We then walked in the rain to rent a car because the only flight back was for Sunday, four days later. I explained to the customer service manager that I think the flight was closed early and that we were in line. She told me that if I was in line I would have been on the plane. The call center manager, **, did not even engage a conversation. He only asked what form of payment I wanted to use to book my next flight.

    We lost two days of work due to this incident. I have cell phone records, receipts, etc. One agent told me that he would give me a voucher for the flight and that it was all taken care of. He told me he understood my frustration and would rectify the situation. He said he would give us two vouchers for $600 when I said I would need to file a small claims lawsuit. I agreed to this exchange. He then told me to write down the voucher numbers. He read off two voucher numbers and I thanked him for his help.

    My boyfriend and I then booked two flights to MIA using the voucher numbers the agent gave to us over the phone. We then attempted to use the voucher numbers emailed to us previously as compensation for changing our original flight and were surprised to learn that the agent on the phone (who promised to fix everything) simply gave us the same voucher number we had already been issued.

    When I called back no one in customer service or customer relations would dare fess up to what had happened. They explained that there was no documentation of any of these incidents even though agents told me they were documenting our conversations every time I called. I have spoken with ** in customer service and customer relations. I have simply been frustrated with this experience. They don't seem to care about customer experiences nor do a good job taking notes or documenting conversations. I have never seen a company so unwilling to admit such a simple mistake.

    I am a person with handicap issues and its painful to be touched and brushed up against by others. I understand that planes are tight environments and when ordering my tickets I do my best to protect my worse side but when you have a passenger sit next to you with a baby that is well over six months old, you spend the whole flight being kicked, hit just all out bouncing around that not is not only painful but just doesn't allow you to sit back and and enjoy your flight. I was lucky going to Denver I was able to move because I had a child being held behind me that was constantly kicking me in the back. (I receive monthly injections in my back to help with the pain of my disease) but coming back from Denver I was not as lucky.

    There should be a age limit were a child should be required to be put in their own seat, strapped in so they do not bother other customers and they are safely in their seats as they are required in cars. That was one of the worst flights I've ever been on and the flight attendant made no attempt to help to see if someone would switch with me. They had employees flying that were in seats that could of worked for me if she would of bothered to listen. Not sure I'd fly Frontier again. Only did because had to get to Denver fast for my father's funeral.

    We bought two round trip tickets for which we paid $175 apiece extra for stretch seating, which also was supposed to include pre-boarding and other premium services. They didn't give us stretch seating - just regular seats. They assured me that we would gladly be refunded our money if we contacted customer service. They denied our request for reimbursement for the additional cost saying that they try to accommodate customers seating requests but can't always guarantee customers will get the seats they want. This doesn't even make sense. If they can't provide the seats, they have no business suckering you out of the extra money.

    So here I am with a 3+ hour delay in Austin to Atlanta nonstop. Missing stewardess, and I do mean stewardess. A few bucks compensation for half a snack of airport food and $50 towards a future flight. So like my Mom taught me, and again I didn't listen, you pay nothing and you get nothing. I assume this airline is bribing senators and congressmen with election money to allow them to treat their customers like dirt. Totally refused another airline and said Rule 240 re accommodation on other airlines doesn't apply to them. Like the spoiled little brat in elementary school to whom no sanctions apply, but what's needed is a good slap of the ruler over the knuckles. So the good news is I have the perfect airline for my mother in law when she visits and the worst for when it's time for her to leave. Yea take this useless airline if your time is totally valueless like mine as I am retired. Otherwise avoid them like the plague. They are horrible.

    The ladies at the counter were quite nice considering they had a plane full of angry people and I suspect they are temps on minimum wage and no healthcare or other benefits. I wonder if they bother servicing the engines. Read tomorrow's newspaper front page to find that out.

    We flew from Las Vegas to Denver then Denver to Atlanta on April 7th, 2015. The airline lost ALL FOUR of our checked bags in Denver. When we got to Atlanta and found out, we filed a claim/complaint form (after being unable to find anyone at the Frontier help desk-- they were all in break room talking about new apartments and boyfriends). On our 4 hour drive home, the airline in Denver called saying we didn't pick up our luggage; he had not seen the claim. He told us to cancel the claim (which of course we did not) and he would overnight the luggage from there.

    Next day, we received a call from Atlanta asking us why we left our luggage there-- it had been put on another flight to Atlanta and NOT sent to us. About 48 hours after we were called saying it was located, we finally received it via Fed Ex. Problem- all 4 were significantly damaged, one to the point of the handle being ripped completely (cannot be used again) off of the bag. Calls, emails, complaints... We have not received any calls back at all from Frontier, while every response we get when WE call is "someone" will call us back. I'd love to meet this "someone", because they don't exist. We've flown Frontier before, haven't had trouble, but this is ridiculous. Horrible, horrible customer service that they seem to not care about making right.

This was just completely shocking to me as the lady was incredibly rude about it at the check in (since the kiosk to Frontier never works).

    We told her that we didn't have to pay coming here and fit the bag in the sample overhead spot (and it fit fine), it was as if she got a commission on whether we payed for our bags or not.

    I have traveled both internationally and North America since I was a baby and am 50 now & I have to say this was the most intolerable and miserable experience due 100% to the staff. Their attitude, lack of concern and lack of the proper English language was unbelievable. First check in I was told (while popping gum or candy), "Uh, yah, that flight's delayed til like 8." There were 3 girls at the one counter! 1 person can't handle it? Need a customer service manager there!

    When I got upset and asked why the website wasn't updated and still showed 45 minutes late...her response,"Lady, I been dealing with peoples like uz all daz long." I asked what was so funny about this since they all stood there giggling when in comes the big thug -- ** (no idea how to spell this one!) looking like Mr. Hot Shot -- threatening me, "Hey you, yah uh man. I don't want uz talking to her that wayz. I feelz like yah threatening her. How 'bout you -- you feeling like she be threatened?" & all nodded in unison just like uneducated robots.

    The flight changed 3 times then cancelled. Wouldn't get me out til the next day. "Nuttin we can do for yah lady. Take it up with corporate." Asked about my connecting flight I was now going to miss -- "Not my problem. Problem of the peoplez in Denver." Unbelievable lack of customer service and the English language. I grew up in Chicago and know the "** jive talk" that they decided to use on me and it was much unappreciated. Don't even go there in making this a race issue either. My best friends are black and they have appreciated the opportunity given to them and learned the English language, chose not to be gangsters/thugs and they are now successful and proud. As they should be.

    These people you have working in your facility is a pathetic example of people "of color" who carry chips on their shoulders and choose not to work hard and make something of themselves and now instead talk like a bunch of thugs and gangsters and act like it too. Seriously watching what was taking place and their lack of work ethic was another awakening that the people you have hired are portraying an example of whom I would never want representing a company of mine. They need to get the chip off their shoulder, wake up, work hard, and they'll succeed and develop customer relations skills and in turn they will get respect. Using the "race card" is a pathetic excuse.

    This was my realization when I arrived back in the town I love and grew up in and now am disgusted at what represents the city of Chicago. If visitors coming into Chicago, after hearing what a great place to visit this city is, are greeted with this kind of disrespect and ignorance, will probably be just dumbfounded -- as I was! Just pathetic. When you don't have manners or decide to speak like an illiterate person, it's all on you -- I don't care what color you are. Needless to say they cancelled the flight but didn't bother notifying their passengers. Yet this irritable man at the counter (that I have on video) said to me, "Looks like you're the only one not to know we cancelled it. Do you see anyone else around here acting like they don't know?" Amazingly enough, as I wandered through the airport, I inquired at different coffee shops & bars as to who knew this flight had now been cancelled. They were as stunned as I was.

    Frontier CEO David Siegel, senior vice president Daniel Shurz and President Barry L. Biffle will be getting a detailed letter as to what happened. This is only the tip of the iceberg. If you want a smooth flight with polite, knowledgeable employees choose anything but Frontier. If there's a problem it will never be addressed in any type of timely manner and it will be all on you to be taking the time out to make over 51 minute hold phone calls just to have them refer you to someone else!

    Why American Air could take off and Frontier couldn't is beyond me. I ended up booking with American and never, ever will fly or recommend Frontier. By the way, they lost my luggage and keep me on endless hold and keep telling me to contact the four different airports they could have sent it to but "Oh well, it will probably be sent on to Denver anyway." Yup. Another great response.

We've learned our lesson - NEVER fly Frontier again!!!

    Updated review: April 27, 2015

    I would like to commend one employee who resolved my issue. After many phone calls and appalling wait times on the phone, my persistence paid off. I called one more time after my negative review and thought I waited 1 and 1/2 hour on the phone again, I was lucky to have ** answer the phone. I was initially angry but she was very patient and understanding, seemed overworked but she resolved my issue by crediting my credit card for the $240 in overcharges. I don't know if ** will see this message, but if she does, Thank You, **.

    Original Review: April 10, 2015

    We had a flight from Den to SJD. Had booked with an infant but decided to leave infant home with dad. Called the day before to cancel infant. Luckily arrived at the airport early enough. Infant was not cancelled and it took an hour to get this done. Desk lady was very nice but eventually gave up on printing a pass without the infant and just signed her name. Upon our return from Mexico, we had the same issue. The infant was still not cancelled and we were charged $17.50 for the infant. Couldn't check in without paying that fee. Checked bags the night before at a cost of $15 per bag for three bags. My credit card was charged $182.50 for bags and extra taxes which I had already paid. When I inquired about that, the lady at the counter didn't know why, and by that time we still had to go through security.

    Upon our return from SJD, I checked three bags on line at $15 per bag. When I arrived at the airport, I was informed that I had only checked one bag and was charged $20 per bag for two extra bags. When I got my credit card bill, I was charged $75 the night before and the extra $40 the day of the flight. I contacted Customer relations and after waiting for a long time, I spent an hour on the phone with a man who said his name was **. He spent an hour on the phone with me, took all my information including reference numbers etc. and told me that a supervisor would be contacting me that evening. I waited a week, and NO supervisor ever called.

    I called customer relations again, (luckily was on speaker phone to get things done) Was on hold between 9 AM mountain time and 11:15 mountain time and NO ONE ever picked up despite a recorded voice coming on repeatedly saying the call was important and remain on the line. I sent 3 emails, received an automated response but no follow up. This has been going on since 3/31/2015. As I am typing this, I have been waiting on the phone to speak to Corporate offices and there has been no human response. This is the WORST customer support I've ever encountered. On the positive side, once we boarded the flight, it was fine. However, those business practices are appalling. I would NEVER fly Frontier again. I would rather pay more for a flight and get decent service.

    Frontier was once a decent airline. It's now gone to the dark side: mismanagement of bags, hidden charges, being forced to miss your flight by staff then being charged to rebook, 45-minute wait to talk to a customer relations agent who hangs up on you, twice, calling the refund department to be told the refund department doesn't process refunds. If this is how they operate the front office, I can only pray that the pilots and mechanics are more ethical. I can no longer fly this airline and I personally don't believe anyone should. They have to be held accountable for their business practices. We as consumers are the only way to give them that accountability. Stop flying with them.

    This airlines is not worth the money you'd save by booking. I took a flight with them to Vegas... my leaving flight was delayed 3 hours without any notice. No weather issues! Just delayed! Coming back from Vegas... plane was an hour LATE but said on time. The Frontier Airlines should be closed!!! People have responsibilities and other important things to do besides waiting in an airport for a late airplane. Whomever owns this airlines has no value in the customers who make purchases. Irregardless of price, don't lose focus in the purpose of your airlines. Never again!!!

    I booked a flight with Frontier and I called them to change the itinerary but they said they could not. All they can do is cancel it and give me a credit. I asked about the expiration and they said the credit stays with them and won't expire. Today I called to use my credit and I was on hold for 45 minutes. Then I get someone and guess what? "Your credit expired 2 months ago and we have no way to reinstate it"....really? Why did nobody tell me about that? They seriously did not want to help. It is not my fault if your rep gave me the wrong information. As a company they could have at least offer another sort of credit. This is just poor customer service and a rip off. They said I am not entitled to it...right not entitled to my own money.

    We watched a whole plane board twice (and then unboard) and have their flight cancelled after a 5 hr delay. A bunch of people missed their cruise and were crying. A guy said he was out $3500 and started yelling. I overheard only outgoing flights that are cancelled would be refunded and not returning (surely there was a mistake)??? The system was down and it took several hours to give refunds for the cancelled flight and they couldn't give food vouchers for us until way later.

    THEN we made it on but they made my brother move from his accessible seat we were promised in the front row (with one of us sitting by him - we paid to upgrade and emphasized the importance) even though he has cerebral palsy and is cognitively disabled (?!?!), yelled at my dad to turn around and walk the wheelchair backwards but a whole crew standing around didn't tell him there was a step up so he fell... But they gave us a $100 voucher for our "next" Frontier flight. Now THAT'S service!

    We wasted well over $1500 by choosing this airline. I would give it a negative rating or 0 but I can't. Do NOT recommend this at all. They would not give me a refund either. I had a 3 day only trip w/ my family and I can not get any of my money back all because they canceled my flight (and 2 others) for "technical issues." WHAT LIARS! Never gonna use them again.

    I write negative reviews when deserved. I flew on flight 1309 this morning from ORD to PHX. The flight was smooth, the flight attendants were wonderful and the pilot did a great job. However, once we landed, the bags took nearly an hour and a half to be delivered. Claimed to be short staffed, I am upset that there were no updates provided to passengers. When talking to the Frontier customer service, the representative showed little respect or empathy towards over one hundred passengers waiting for their bags. Just disappointed in follow through from Frontier. I would not have deemed this experience as being professionally handled by - you hate to see several upset customers when the situation could have been more professionally, simply by communication.

    If I could give Frontier 0 stars than I would. I booked a round trip flight on Frontier to Cancun for my honeymoon. Our return date was supposed to be Aug 7th. Frontier canceled our flight and changed our return date to Aug 8th. We could not make that new date work with our schedules so I was told that we could cancel our flight and receive a full refund in 7-10 business days. I canceled the flight on March 20th. We were also told we could not get the full refund. Apparently only about $750 was refundable and we would end up losing about $200 in "processing fees".

    By April 3rd (11 business days), we had still not received our refund. I called Frontier to see if there were any issues. I was told that Frontier had sent the refund to Expedia (which we used to book) because they did not have our card number on file. I then called Expedia and was told that they had not received a refund. I then called Frontier and was told that the airline had given us miles on Frontier rather than a refund. I explained that the flight had been changed on us and that I had been told that we would receive a refund and that the person I had talked to an hour ago said the money had already been sent to Expedia.

    I was then told that there was confusion with my request. Apparently the 7-10 business days is a processing time for the airline and the refunds are not actually sent out for "1-2 billing cycles" following the processing time. I was then told that a billing cycle is one month. Also Frontier had not begun our processing time of 7-10 business days. So I have to wait approximately 2 1/2 months to get the refund so I can try to book a flight (ON ANOTHER AIRLINE) to get to my honeymoon. Also, who knows if the anticipated refund will actually happen because they do not appear to have any idea where my money is. Good luck to everyone else who is trying to travel with this horrible company. You will need it.

    My wife recently had a death in the family, so I book a last minute flight from Trenton to Chicago Midway so that she could attend the funeral. We arrived (Trenton, NJ Airport) more than 1.5hrs prior the flight so that she could make the funeral which was scheduled for that morning. We stood in long line, a rude and unconcerned counter rep move customers along as if she did not want to be there. Finally another Rep comes up to help move the line along; we get to counter, "Sorry, you can't get on this flight; call the 800 number," says the Rep. My wife in tears begs to get on flight so that she can attend the funeral that morning in Chicago. She say, "There are no lines in security. I can still make it, I have to make this funeral", she says. The Rep's response: "Call the 800#!".

    So, I get home and I call the 800# for "Client Relations", and waited 1hr. and 39min and spoke with **. ** gave me the Corporate Line and told me that she was "escalating" my request for a refund and that she would call me back within 24-48 hours once she received a response; this was on March 23, 2015 @ 10:28am. So I wait, and wait ... and wait. On March 30, 2015, I call Frontier Airlines again and wait another 45 minutes, even though the IVR said that my call would be answered within the next 5 minutes - 4 times.

    Behold! I finally get through and once again it's **, the Agent who told me that she would be returning my call within 24-48 hours. ** ruffles some papers around and finally says, "One moment please, let me check of the status of your request for a refund" and promptly puts me on hold. ** come back, "Sorry sir", we cannot refund your money; you will have to use it on another flight." I tell ** that the only reason my wife was flying to Chicago was to attend a funeral that morning. It does not matter as, "You should have gotten there 2 hours before your flight." Well, we were there 1.5hours before the flight, and if Frontier would have staffed accordingly at the counter, that would have been more than enough time to make to security, which was my initial complaint.

    Now I tell ** that I need to go to Chicago on April 27th and she tells me that Frontier no longer flies to Chicago Midway from Trenton as it is a seasonal route. Okay, I would like a refund. "Doesn't matter," says **. I ask to speak with a Supervisor and ** refuses, "We don't transfer calls here, Sir." I am surprised that there are no escalation procedures when all ** has told me about was my lack of adhering to their procedures. After several more attempts to escalate my concerns to a Supervisor, ** finally tells me that she is going to hang up; and she does. I had been a faithful customer of this airlines, but unless I get that return call that I was promised, I am going back to Delta, where they do everything to ensure that passengers are assisted.

    I booked flights to Puerto Vallarta on Frontier through Expedia for May 2, 2015. On March 5th I get a call saying our flights were cancelled, no other options could be found & to call Frontier for a refund. No explanation of any kind as to why. I tried to call. The recording said if I was not flying within 48 hours, call back another time. What? With no information as to what happened we had to secure other flights on another airline, which caused lengthy layovers one way & an overnight stay in Phoenix (an extra expense) on the way back. I tried continuously for a week to reach Frontier, and finally got through after a 2 hour hold a week later. "Sorry, it is not our policy to write a refund check... even though we know you already PAID OFF our card & don't want a credit sitting on your card." So, they said a refund to card was the only way.

    It has now been weeks... still no refund. I got through to customer service again... was assured it was "in the works" but there was no set date I could expect it. I just have to wait. It has been almost a month since the cancellation. I am out over $1300 because of this. I have to pay bills & pull $ from savings to make up for Frontier's horrible service. Who can afford to pay to go to Mexico 2x & not be impacted financially. Oh... maybe Frontier could... because they have ALL OUR $$$. Ridiculous treatment to people who have supported them for years & years. Not any longer though.

    I bought 3 tickets on Frontier Airlines for a set price. At no time during the purchase process was I informed that I would be charged additional $$ to check in and select a seat assignment. For the flight out, the lowest check in seat was $4 per seat. This provided a seat assignment in the most uncomfortable seat with the least amount of legroom (I am only 5 ft. 6 in.). The return flight went up to $12 per seat. No reason at all provided when I asked the customer agent about it. Then I was hassled multiple times about whether I paid for the carry on luggage. They didn't want to see my receipt and on both routes, they did not have accurate information. I will never fly Frontier again. They should be investigated.

    Frontier's phone lines have been down since last week...wasted much time on hold trying to contact them re cancelling 2 flights. I tried to phone their corporate headquarters via the phone number listed on their website but it was DISCONNECTED! Phoned Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix and was connected to a "gate person" who told me, rather rudely, that her job was to check people onto the plane and she couldn't help me at all. Today, when I finally found a contact number for Frontier (on a self-help website, not Frontier's), was given erroneous info re cancellation policy. This is the worst customer service ever experienced with an airline. Frontier obviously needs a new business model or needs to go out of business. Frontier is the best advertisement for booking with Southwest.

Their terrible customer service (their own website says my frequent flyer number does not exist even though it is printed on my ticket) to their unbelievable baggage and "extra" charges for everything are annoying. I have to think there is a new CEO in charge who is determined to run the airline into the ground.

    I booked a flight on Frontier via Kayak.com. Nowhere on any site, including Kayak and then Frontier to confirm the booking did it mention extra fees for baggage. I flew Frontier as recently as 2 years ago and it was a totally normal airline. When I arrived at the airport there were huge signs saying checked-in bags were $35 and carry-ons were $45 - WTF! The employees took no responsibility, and when I complained to the airline directly via Twitter, I got an exchange basically saying they aren't responsible. Yes, they are responsible. It's THEIR airline and THEIR fees. If they don't want to disclose their fees, then they shouldn't be using 3rd party websites for bookings, simple as that.
