    Let me start with I am not a wizard and cannot snap my fingers and get from Allentown PA toTampa Florida in less then 24 hrs so as that said I had a flight to leave Philadephia airport at 632 pm on 7/13/24 to go to Tampa non stop to pick my wife up from spending time with grandkids so my flight was canceled due to bad weather I believe and all other flights were sold out until 7/15/24 and me and my wife's return flight was for 7/14/24 the very next day at 945 are close to that so I called my wife, told her flight was canceled and there's no way I can get to Tampa by tomorrow [this is my wife's 2nd time flying and would be her first alone and after we lost our son 3 years ago she has anxiety really bad that's why I was going down to come home with her].

    She said she will fly by herself but it's going to be tough so after she got home I called about the refund for canceled flight and return on my return flight since Frontier canceled my flight to Tampa and they gave me my refund for the canceled flight but not the return flight because they said I was boarded on the plane in Tampa. My seat was filled. Lol yea impossible but wife told me Frontier sold seat to a gentleman that was sitting next to her on plane and I'm fighting back and fourth with Frontier. I do not know if they're that stupid abe just blind so I said what I said. I hope this puts some thought into someone else's booking with frontier.

    Flying out of Philadelphia to Orlando. The customer service from the check in counter did not exist. I paid for my bag 24hrs before but had the option to check it or carry it on the and they wanted me to pay an additional $20 to make it a carry on. In addition my tickets were bought at the same time but they had us sit 10 rows apart. When asked to change our seats the agent and the supervisor stated the flight was oversold and nothing could be done but were asking for 2 volunteers to take an emergency row seat that was available. Frontier gotta work on CUSTOMER SERVICE. The passengers aren't always right but we keep the business going.

    We were asked to measure our personal bags, all of which fit in the sizer. We were still required to pay a $99 fee, even though we traveled on 2 separate Frontier planes to get to Arizona with the same exact bags without any issue until our return flight to Orlando. When we got on the plane, the attendant asked to see all our tickets because there were too many people on the plane. We were eventually seated and a few minutes later my husband was told the captain would to speak with the him. The attendant continue to go to the rest of our seats, which were scattered throughout the plane, asking the remaining 5 of us to make their way to the front. We were asked to get off and make our way back to the gate. I asked about a refund for the bag I just paid for 20 minutes prior. She offered to schedule us on the next flight or issue a full refund.

    I refused the reschedule as I will NEVER fly Frontier again after the way we were treated. When I asked why we were removed she said the captain was not comfortable and felt there would be an issue. My husband was never given a chance to even speak with the captain. We also requested that our checked bag be removed. After waiting 30 minutes for the plane to leave, we were told our bag would be in the carousel downstairs. Guess what, it was not. All the ticket counters were closed to speak about the bag and/or refund. I received a call in the morning asking if we were going to pick up our bag in Orlando so they obviously did not remove it. We were left stranded in Phoenix with no clothes/ toiletries and no real explanation as to why we were removed. The “supervisor” at the gate was very rude, unfriendly, not helpful in the least bit and refused to tell us her name and hid her badge from us when we asked.

    We have two connected flights with Frontier. First flight there was kind staff and plan was clean. Our flight was late taking off. The deals are not that great. There is no WiFi and no charging ports even in the most expensive seats. On the connection we had to completely leave the plan and board again. The new staff was horrible and rude.

    Horrible company! Tried to fly with them twice and both times the flight was cancelled over an hour after it was supposed to leave! No weather issues. Just had you sit there for hours at the airport delayed and then gave the plane for another flight! No other options to fly out for several days either and then they “compensate” you with a $100 voucher towards future travel with them, as if if that makes up for the time and financial cost of having your flight canceled with no way to get home or to your vacation!

    We were trying to check from the hotel 24 hours before our Cancun-Chicago flight with no success. The app kept asking for an update which was not available on the same app then could not move forward with the check in. Once by the counter the lady said it was the airport WiFi which we were not using since our phone has our own Internet service. Then she said to ask a relative in Chicago to do the check in for us through the app which it was ridiculous. Then she asked for an error in order to check us in without a fee.

    The app never showed an error only to update and continue. We ended up paying $50 for check in and miraculously after that, the app worked and showed us our boarding pass. We weren't the only ones. A lot of people had this same issue and ended up paying checking in fee. I'm certain this glitch in the app was on purpose in order for Frontier to make additional money at our expense. I will never fly again with Frontier neither will recommend it to anyone.

    Original Review: July 16, 2024

    Flight 3195 from Houston to Dallas was delayed and flight 4322 from Dallas to Sacramento was also delayed for over an hour. They lost my check in baggage. I was so stressed from this experience that I got sick by next morning and had to see a doctor. My missing baggage claim was closed after 2 days. I had sentimental values in the bag given to me by my mother and children. Feels like I traveled to a third world country where they couldn’t trace my bag when technology is so advanced. They announced the same plane from Houston to Dallas was going to Sacramento. They didn’t have to transfer the bag to different plane and still my bag went missing without a trace. Perhaps inside job because during scanning the person surely knew what things were inside the bag.

    I’ll start by saying that I never say never until my travel on Frontier Airlines. Simple trip from Syracuse to Orlando. Original take off 6:55 pm. As soon as we arrived to airport, delayed to 7:40, then to 8:25. Then as our plane arrived, we could see it sitting on tarmac and another Frontier jet pulled into our gate, making our flight wait for 1-1/2 hours as the other plane unloaded, loaded and took off. What a joke. No explanation, no nothing! Never again.

    I booked with Frontier because they had the times I needed, I usually use Southwest. Well that came back and bit me in the butt. My flight to Portland was fine, my flight back turned into a nightmare. I flew from Portland to Phoenix and then found out that my flight that was to leave at 7:30 pm was cancelled. My options was to fly to Orlando at 11 pm that night and arrive at 6:30 the next morning. Well then that flight was delayed and we left at 1:00 am and arrived in Orlando at 7:30, then I could fly out of Orlando at 10:30 pm and get to Cincinnati at 2:00 am. I took the flight to Orlando and then got on Southwest to fly to Cincinnati at a reasonable time. I felt bad for the families that had small children with them. Then they sent me a meal voucher after the last flight left that expired in one day. The seats are horrible, you can’t even get water free, the staff on flight are not very professionall. It’s not worth the headache.

    My husband is not a picky person. If he can save some money, he will take the deal, knowing that you pay for what you get! That being said, for a man that never complains, he would rate this airline the WORST in the world hands down. Worst customer service and the plane were not well kept. Nothing was updated on the information board for gate changes until boarding time, which had passengers scrambling to get to the new gate to make it to boarding. They make their fare sound low just so they can gouge for carry-on that clearly fits in the carry-on box, but if anything that hangs or flaps out it's considered out of the dimensions and you are then charged $69. It's their way of making up for the lower fare tickets. Frontier Airlines charges $99 to check a carry-on bag at the departure gate. DO NOT FLY Frontier!

    Flew from Omaha to Denver on my way home to Las Vegas on Frontier Airlines. When I got to Denver, I was informed that my flight to Las Vegas had been canceled-no reason given. 3 hours later after waiting in line at customer service, they got me on a flight the next day. Frontier did not offer me a room or food voucher for my inconvenience. They expected me to sleep in the airport until my flight 16 hours later. I had to book my own hotel and get my own dinner…. This cost me an additional $270.00 out of my own pocket. I submitted a claim to be reimbursed (no voucher) and am waiting with bated breath for their response.

    This is the ABSOLUTE worst airline you could ever choose. Once your flight is booked, your monies are deducted immediately. They cancelled our flight one hour before boarding, of which we were going to a funeral. We didn’t purchase a bereavement flight, however; we couldn’t use the alternate flight option they offered in order to make the funeral. We were told that we needed to provide a death certificate and proof of relationship in order to receive a refund. Wait, what… we purchased a regular priced flight and still were charged additional money. We will NEVER buy another flight from this unorganized, useless, corrupt and greedy airline. Trust me, do your research on reviews prior to scheduling with them. They are most definitely a waste of valuable time. No Refund Was Ever Provided.

Our refund offer was for 40% of what we paid for the round trip flight and I have to fight to get the baggage fees I paid in advance reimbursed.

    I recently had an incredibly frustrating experience with Frontier Airlines and their customer service. We were overcharged for our bags, and despite making the attendant aware, she said she couldn’t help and that we had to call customer service. To take our bag home, we had to pay an additional $104, even though we had already been charged $150 for the same bag due to an error made by staff at the Philadelphia airport.

    After calling and emailing customer service about being charged for two bags instead of one, and the overcharge, our refund was denied. They claimed their policy dictates so because we took the flight. Despite their representatives assuring us we would be refunded and to call once we landed, which we did after trying to call while waiting to board and not getting through prior to boarding, they stole with the overcharges $179 and refuse to refund it even though it was their mistake. Avoid Frontier Airlines at all costs if you want to avoid being overcharged and dealing with unhelpful customer service.

    If you're into surprises, Frontier Airlines is the ultimate thrill ride! It's like playing airline roulette every time you book a ticket. Here are the highlights:

    Seating Selection: Why pay for a seat when you can let fate decide? Frontier's random seating assignment ensures you'll never know where you'll end up! Window seat? Middle seat? Who knows? It's like a surprise party, but for your comfort!

    Customer Service: Ever wanted to experience what it's like to talk to a robot? Just call Frontier's customer service! They're so efficient, you might not even realize you're talking to an AI. Plus, their hold music is a modern masterpiece. You might start humming it in your sleep!

    Fees, Fees, Fees: Frontier Airlines is the pioneer of the a-la-carte fee structure. Want to bring a bag? That'll be extra. Want to choose your seat? Extra. Want oxygen during the flight? Well, you get the idea. They've turned nickel-and-diming into an art form.

    On-Time Performance: Ever wanted to test your patience? Frontier's flights are a game of chance. Sometimes they arrive early (surprise!), sometimes they're fashionably late. It's like a thrilling mystery novel, but without the satisfying conclusion.

    Comfort: Do you enjoy the feeling of being packed into a sardine can? Frontier's seats are designed for maximum closeness. It's like a team-building exercise with your fellow passengers. You'll get to know each other intimately!

    Overall, Frontier Airlines provides an unforgettable experience. If you enjoy living on the edge, appreciate surprise fees, and thrive on uncertainty, Frontier is the airline for you. Just remember to bring your sense of humor and a well-packed carry-on (but watch out for those extra fees!).

    I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience with Frontier Airlines on flight F9 3307. Despite booking and receiving confirmation of seat 25B, I was denied boarding due to overbooking. What was particularly disappointing was that the staff at Los Angeles airport were unable to provide clear answers or assistance. They seemed uninterested in my inconvenience and refused to assist me in resolving the situation.

    This incident severely disrupted my plans, including an important appointment in San Francisco for which I had made hotel reservations and planned activities. Frontier Airlines only offered a simple refund of the airfare, which falls far short of covering the inconvenience and additional costs I had to bear. I expected better customer service and proper handling from Frontier Airlines, in line with industry standards. This experience has been not only frustrating but also costly for me. I strongly recommend that Frontier Airlines review its policies and procedures to better manage overbooking situations and provide adequate support to affected passengers.

    I booked RT tickets from BWI to DEN via Travelocity for my family of 5. In addition to Frontier rejigging our schedule twice after selling us the tickets, we had a crowning debacle occur on the flight home. Due to a bug in the app preventing one from Checking In on the way back (because the app records a RT as one continuous flight with a giant layover at your destination), we got into multiple delays that ultimately caused us to miss our flight, despite arriving early at the airport. Frontier offered to sell us 5 new tickets for $230 each. I declined and, rather than pay one more dollar to this company, I paid the same to Southwest for tickets home. After getting home, I filed a complaint. These guys then offered to enroll my 5 family members in their loyalty program and receive 5,000 points ($50) each. Nope.

    Frontier. It’s hard for me to add more truth to what’s been posted about Frontier Airlines. It’s labeled as an “ultra-low fare airlines.” Great, awesome. Everyone likes a deal. However, low fares do not HAVE to also equal low quality. For example, Chick-fil-A’s prices are comparable to other fast food restaurants, yet it feels somehow different than the competitors. Frontier utilizes most of the same planes, software and hardware as other airlines. Flying Frontier is uniquely worse than it should be. Why? For me, it’s their attitude. It begins with a distinctly “customer” service phone call focused on Frontier’s bottom line. No one is ever going to try and help you. They will offer you Frontier-focused options, usually at a cost.

    Next, they play “Jam Your Luggage In the Steel Box” at the gate. I’ve noticed bag size has nothing to do with who’s selected to pay. They only pick people that look like they can pay the $75 fee. It’s profiling. Gates agents have a financial incentive. They receive $10/bag charged at the gate. It’s in their PERSONAL self interest to make you pay to play.

    It has the worst on time rating of all major airlines. I’m convinced the Bag Game slows many, many departures. Once you take your seat, a flight attendant will walk the aisle telling people, “All personal electronics must be on silent. Why am I hearing all this noise?!” Full flights don’t guarantee working bathrooms. My flight had just one. (I expected it to be a pay toilet. I trust Frontier that the plan is already on someone’s desk awaiting approval.) Once you arrive, it’s not guaranteed your luggage will be there. If it is, you’ll wait and wait and wait for it to come out of the luggage carousel. Again, it’s puzzling because less people check bags than carry them on.

    No one working at Frontier smiles or volunteers to help. Ever. Employees look miserable. I firmly believe their poor reputation is well earned AND a direct reflection of management’s attitude. It’s obvious leadership does not care about customer experience. I seriously doubt upper management flies Frontier. Otherwise, they would have to willingly overlook such poor quality. It can be experienced in every flight, from every city that Frontier services. Frontier employees are unhappy and take it out on the customer. It’s consistent and persistent because NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE CUSTOMER. If, someone did care, they would do something about it.

    Ironically, Frontier feels that by putting an animal on the plane, people will somehow overlook their glaring deficiencies and have more fun. That’s an interesting approach that doesn’t work. I know this review won’t make a difference. It doesn’t even make me feel better to post it. Note to Frontier: Attitude is free. You don’t have to spend an additional penny on anything else to significantly improve your reputation. You just have to care. Sadly, it’s obvious, caring is just not part of the Frontier company culture.

I had to pay $498 to get 3 new tickets after I had already spent $298 for a round trip ticket. The gate representative known as manager at the CVG for Frontier was nonchalant and not concerned with my complaint and all she said was I was suppose to be at the gate 2 to 3 hours before departure time. The plane departed early! Unprofessional, horrible customer service, not flying with this airline ever again.

    I sent an email to Frontier Airlines. I explained the details of how complex it situation was. I received a full refund of that particular ticket. I was offered 10,000 air miles, however, I don’t believe I will use that.

    Original Review: June 30, 2024

    I will never use Frontier again. Wish I had seen these reviews before I started. I chose a flight for a great price for an 2 1/2 hour flight for August 2024 on June 25. It is now June 30. I received an email saying the flight time was canceled. I received two choices, accept a new flight or refund. The process sounds simple, but not. I looking for a new flight, The ONLY options were overnight night flights of 12 hours. It was VERY confusing. Without realizing, I picked one of these flights, therefore, my refund was gone…. However, the original flight was still listed when I went back into the Frontier website. The “Flight change” emailed on 6/29 was NOT AT ALL my original reservation (6/17). The 5/29 email now showed my reservation through FLORIDA!!!! On way to St. Louis. THERE IS NO WAY to get help to straighten this out. Fortunately, it was an amount of $57 instead of hundreds. WILL NEVER use again.

    We flew Frontier for the first and last time the flight was not bad, but the customer service was degrading. unprofessional, no communication, lack of knowledge. Once we arrived in Charlotte NC, or prior to getting there., the departure time was changed 4 times, why No one will ever know, the representative Pablo who scheduled our flight was professional, however we were not aware that a carry on bag would be 104 dollars a piece, a supervisor told us during the process of this entire nightmare that she would give us extra leg room as a courtesy, what a joke. There are so many hidden fees we finally got on the plane at 8pm June 27th, landed in Philadelphia at 9 30 for a funeral. We missed the receiving of friends etc. However nobody cared. I am begging anyone reading this do not EVER fly Frontier, just to say money it is NOT worth it in the long run. Thank God for covering us all.

    I spent so much time trying to get a flight. Finally picked my round-trip flight for 2 and it came to $394. As soon as I hit to pay it went to pending and someone called and told me the reason it went to pending was because my return flight was not available for the price I got it for. However, I could still get the exact same flight but it was going to be $197 more. So my total went from $394.66 to $591. She just kept saying it’s not available any longer for that price.

    So I had a flight at 8 am and it was canceled around 1030 at the night before. I was so upset because the only other flight they had available was a one that I wouldn’t be able to take till the evening and get there at 2am. Which was so inconvenient for me because I had to be at my destination before 4pm. Then I asked them would they be able to add me to an early flight that some of my relatives were on. They told me it was fully booked. So I had no choice but to take the 6pm flight because the refund that they offered wasn’t gonna be enough for me and my daughter especially with the flights being high and all were all booked up. So when my relatives made it to their flight they called and told me that the plane was empty and there were many seats available. So at this point I will never fly Frontier again. This is terrible. Especially since it happened to my relatives already and they had to chose another one the next day like I’m so upset!

    This is the worst airline I ever flown with. Me and my coworker got to the airport in Orlando very much on time. In fact several hours early. Got througH TSA fairly quick. Sat not too far from the gate only for them to unload the plane and not call the flight back to Cleveland so we missed our flight. We went to the ticket booth and had to pay another $250 on top of the $900 we already spent to get a much later flight. It’s not right we had to pay when they never called the flight. It literally takes almost an hour to unload the plane and fuel it back up and clean it. We went to the gate 10 minutes after the loading time said and the plane was gone. Not one announcement was made about said flight. We deserve a refund or a free round trip to a place of our choice. It’s not right.

    I have travelled many miles with many airlines and visited multiple Airports, however I now have met Frontier Airlines, and what a mistake it is. I planned a simple weekend vacation to Atlanta to return back home Fort Lauderdale on a Monday. So now we get to the Airport checked in and as we want to try to print out checked in bag label the machines do not work, we wait in line and meet a cranky staff not welcoming at all and a poor Customer Service Attitude to check us in and print the label for our bags to my luck their printer does not work, she starts to bang on the printer to work.

    A co-worker tells her to calm down but she does not. After a moment of her desperation it prints!!!. now we can go on and wait for the plain to begin boarding. nope there is no boarding ion time but a male counter person tells us to move to another gate we moved from Gate D 1-A to E-2, no reasons why bare in mind is 250 people moving from one gate to another. As we all arrive to the new gate and settled in for new plane another staff manber tells us that there will be a delay because there where some papers not signed early due to an inspection and it would take 1:30 Minutes to get them signed (What?). Well meantime the staff member tells us to get some snacks or food paper will get ready for us to leave.

    News. The flight has been cancelled. No reason. Why. It's now late. Almost 10pm. No way to leave or stay anywhere. Finally someone comes and tells us, "Let me schedule you for another flight but it will be tomorrow, and you will have to wait another 2 hours for head quarters to respond for any hotel accommodations." 12am no answer, we leave with a new flight early morning next day to a hotel on our own because we got no answer. (A staff member called us Impatient people.) Only if she would understand what this delay has created on the people paying for their salary. It's 1am next day and we get hotel accommodations for a 8am flght!!!.

    We take our new flight to Philadelphia with an overlay of 5 hours. Got lunch on own, and got ready for our new flight back home at 5pm to arrive 8:30pm. Right at check in we get an email that our new flight home has been delayed for another 3 hours. Now we leave at 8:30pm. Truly many words and confusion for all the flying customers, women with children stranded, elderly people sleeping in chairs, kids bored out of their minds asking mom, "When are we going home" and not to add more my wife and I fully frustrated with Frontier's poor customer care and poor communication to get their customers home safe and ON TIME!!!!.

    We missed our flight because nowhere on any of the communications or tickets with Frontier does it say that you have to be there an hour early or you miss your flight guaranteed. Our family arrived at the frontier check-in desk 55 minutes before the flight left and they would not let us proceed because they had closed check in 5 minutes prior. They refuse to let us proceed and our tickets would not be activated and so we were forced to pay an additional $800 and rebook for later in the day for a much worse flight.

    This happened to several people that we saw arrive after us. Frontier is extremely rude and unaccommodating and nowhere in their communications is to say you have to be there an hour before check-in or you won't be let on. It is fraud and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a class action lawsuit against them. When you arrive at the check-in desk, there is a cheap plastic sign saying that check-in time cuts off an hour before the flight, but nowhere else does it say that and that is unethical and they refuse to give refunds Even though is their own unethical behavior that leads to this affecting so many flyers.

    I chose to fly with Frontier because of the deal package I purchased from Priceline. All of my flights were delayed, and we ended up waiting in the airport for 9 hours due to the delay, causing us to miss our connecting flight. Additionally, they charge for carry-on baggage, making the overall cost almost the same as other airlines. In my opinion, I do not recommend flying with them at all. While they may seem like an inexpensive option upfront, when you factor in the cost of carry-on baggage and the time wasted due to delays, it's simply not worth it. I strongly advise staying away from Frontier.

    Flight experiences on F9 22 and 23, round trip from Phi to PUJ 6/21-6/24, was a nightmare from start to finish. I reviewed an email from the CEO on 5/17 citing clear, upfront pricing options and a better travel experience overall. Frontier fell quite short of this. The listlessness and apathy by PHI gate agents was awful. I was forced to pay up for my personal item backpack (historically used this way - never an issue) to a carry on price of $124, which is absurd and certainly didn’t match bag price checker site. I have spondylosis and my backpack has wheels which caused it to not fit in the curiously small baggage checker at the gate. My condition was dismissed by the gate agents. Attempting to leave PUJ was also pure chaos regardless of arriving 3 hours prior to take off.

    They couldn’t organize lines, make clear announcements, and proceeded to charge me over $200 for checked bags which I was sure I had already paid for both ways at check in for departure, and again does not match bag price checker site. After waiting in 4 different lines that kept devolving for almost 2 hours, this bag charge was about 4 minutes from the established boarding time so I did not have the time or patience to debate this. With such an amazing experience at our resort, to be sandwiched by this awful experience by Frontier, makes us almost regret the whole trip, but certainly wholeheartedly regret booking with frontier. I’m requesting reasonable refunds back to my original payment methods. I will not accept credits towards any future traveling with Frontier, as I cannot guarantee that my family or I will be returning customers. Your response to this experience could however sway that opinion. Looking forward to resolving this matter.

Then it will cost $25 to get a boarding pass at the counter at the airport and that is only when they actually have a representative present which is rare. I guess that it is the same old story....

    Horrible Experience **** There was a change with the gate and the pilot was not informed. The pilot arrived several minutes after ALL passengers had already been seated. The passengers had to wait for the pilot and then all the safety procedures were performed. This delay in the heat (because the weather was over 100 degrees) caused the fuel to overheat and they canceled the flight. However, Frontier just used the “weather code” to protect themselves so that they have no liability issues and can use this argument in case of lawsuits. Unfortunately for them, there are several passengers who can testify that there were delays with the change of gate and pilot being late for departure because he was not informed of the gate changes (he even said that to all passengers).

    Frontier only offered us an option for refund (with nothing else and we would be on our own in the middle of the night) or a flight at 1am with connection to Denver, arriving in San Diego at 7am. They refused to provide any type of compensation, transportation, or hotel vouchers for us or anyone who wanted to get a flight the next day. The only thing provided was a food voucher for $15 per person. This was the worst experience we have had with an airline and we will never use them again. Even though they are claiming this issue was related to weather, no other plane had this problem. Will never use this airline again!!

    I generally do not complain. However, I’m stranded at DFW due to another cancelled flight and therefore have plenty of time. Frontier has cancelled the flight from DFW to MDW at least twice in the past four weeks. Both flights were canceled due to “maintenance issues”. Notably, both flights were not full. I suspect Frontier canceled both flights because it didn’t make sense financially to fly with planes that weren’t even half full. Regardless, the airline is not reliable. I think the FAA should carefully review Frontier’s Go Wild program. I suspect an investigation by Congress into the company’s internal policies would reveal numerous FAA violations.

Of course no email received. Called Frontier as I’m an elite member - only elite can call to speak to a actual Frontier employee, all others must chat. Unfortunately you get Philippines representatives that are ill trained, not understandable, and balk/resist at involving a supervisor.

    If I could give 0 or negative stars I would. First, we all understand, when booking Frontier airlines, we're not going to be getting top tier services. Reality is, we book them because they're cheaper and sometimes the only option for a direct flight. I will no longer consider them for flying, even if my only other option is to drive. Short story is, they canceled the flight from St. Maarten to Orlando due to "weather" in Orlando. Problem is, my wife is a Flight Attendant for another airline based in Orlando. She was flying that day, in and out of Orlando, and two of her turns were to the same general region. We had no weather issues in St. Maarten. The "Weather" tactic is something they use to get around being responsible for delays and cancelations.

    The next flight was two days later. They offered at full refund, BUT last-minute booking on other airlines was upwards of two times the amount of the refund, WHICH would have come in 30 days. No assistance was offered with finding accommodations for the two days. Two days later, what was scheduled for a 7-hour total trip with layover in San Juan, turned in 14 hours due to their operational issues. Moral of this nightmare?

    Frontier Airlines was my champion. I downloaded their app, and attended meet-and-greets – I was their biggest cheerleader, defending them against naysayers. But on 6/13/24, that all changed. My Charlotte to Atlanta flight, with a confusing (but tolerable) Houston layover, seemed like a steal. I even splurged on the "bigger" seats in the front. Spoiler alert: they were just regular seats with a tacky sign blocking the middle spot. But hey, I got a great deal! I checked in on the app the night before. At the Charlotte airport, a slight delay – nothing major. Landing in Houston, I opened the app to find my connecting flight's gate. But... my 2nd boarding pass was not there! It was already a short layover and with the delay it was imperative I get to my next gate quickly.

    Panic rising, I made it to the gate and they were already boarding all zones. I raced to the gate agent, explained my app issue, and the connecting flight situation. The response? A curt dismissal. "You didn't check in. Go over there and wait and see if there's a seat." How is this possible? I just landed from a connected flight, one confirmation number But logic fell on deaf ears. Tears pricked my eyes as the agent, radiating rudeness, challenged me, "Show me your boarding pass then!" I was distraught – I was stuck, frustrated. After everyone else boarded, they called us (myself and another young lady waiting for a seat) back. But the nightmare wasn't over. Apparently, in Spanish (because she clearly thought I wouldn't understand), the rude agent declared, "Seen it all! Don't care if she cries, I’ve been here 14 years." Lovely.

    Then came the kicker: a $25 fee for "using agent assistance" to get checked in; Frontier's fees are legendary, but this was a new low. I made the flight (to my very uncomfortable, middle seat – passing right by someone in the seat I paid for). But Frontier lost more than a customer today. They lost an advocate. I work hard for my money, and I won't be paying to be disrespected and fly in discomfort. This experience wasn't just a delay or a bad seat. It was a masterclass in airline apathy. Frontier, you've grounded my loyalty. Oh, I almost forgot! As I finally made it home, I got a call from my Dad informing me that his flight and the flights of the 12 other people in our traveling party were canceled.

Yet, I was advised it was a carry-on and I was forced to pay (embezzled) $99 or I couldn't board the plane. They did this to every person that had a personal item.

    You get what you continue to pay for. Was the flights affordable yes! After adding baggage cost twice one way. We were over 17lbs and didn’t pay the difference. We paid a whole new price of $125. This is insane. Then you pay for carry-ons. Mind you we have to bring the same suitcase back with the same 17lbs so we may have to ship via postal to eliminate the overage on the weight. Never again.

    Purchased a ticket for my daughter and 1.5 yr old grand son, Flight F9 3393 SLC to SFO on June 8th. Besides having fees every step of the way, the flight attendant was very rude and have no empathy and courtesy at all. The seat beside my daughter was empty. She made our grandson take a seat and FA immediately reprimanded her. Asked if the baby is a lap child and said, “well if he is, then have him take a seat on your lap.” Seriously though?

Regardless of location, the gate representatives are mean, disrespectful, and just looking for excuses to charge passengers more. They can even communicate with passengers as usual. Airline intentionally separates passengers to charge for change of seat! In advance, this airline has no respect for active duty, and men or women in service only care about passengers, who they call “value passengers“ because they pay more.

    I typically don’t write reviews, and I’m a very low maintenance kind of person, let me be very clear, the flight was great, the plane was clean, it was a smooth ride, and the staff on the aircraft were great. Since I had a good 1st experience with Frontier I got another flight with them and it has been nothing but a nightmare. They decided to cancel my flight that was at 9am at 2am, I woke up at 6am to check for any delays and get ready to leave for the airport and I received a notification saying my flight was canceled without any reason listed.

    Trying to get in touch with customer service was nearly impossible and I have patience of a saint. Finally when I got someone on the phone they were not helpful at all with finding me another flight that day. I suggested different airports as well and nothing. Then they stated they would give a refund and hung up. The problem is I paid for my flight with a visa giftcard and had thrown it out due to using the remaining balance on this flight. I ended up having to buy a flight for $300 with another airline thinking I would have no issue getting a refund since this was out of my control.

    It has been 3 days of me going back and fourth via email with Frontier (since they don’t have people to answer the phone) to get this resolved and the outcome at this point is Frontier is telling me I bought from a third party and that I need to contact them. Problem is I never ever buy from third parties. I always buy from the airline and have proof of the statement from frontier. Long story short, if you're ok with flying with an airline who is unreliable and will cancel your flight and take your money go for it. I will never fly with them again, it’s just not worth it, and I’m not ok with someone stealing my money.

On May 28 2024 we were delayed and was given the run around from 1:08PM all the way up until around 10:00PM. They kept changing the departure gate numbers which caused us to walk around back and forth for hours in the airport hoping for a time to depart to go home to Chicago. There was no customer service available, no one to talk to that works for Frontier. NOTHING!! At about 10:30PM we were told that we will board the plane in about 15mins. At about 10:50PM there was an announcement saying that our flight to Chicago on Frontier was canceled. They canceled our flight without knowing what really took place with the aircraft. It took about an hour and a half to get our luggage from the plane.

    This is totally unacceptable. Now we are currently stuck at an airport and have to purchase other flight tickets.

    EASILY the worst airline on earth. “Cheap flights” but they get you with a bunch of fees. They purposely sit your party all separated and don’t let you switch your seat on the app to something near them unless you pay another ridiculous fee for each seat. They charge you a ridiculous price for checking a bag or for even a carry on (never included not even the first bag). It cost an extra RIDICULOUS fee if your bag weighs over just 40 pounds. They make a huge deal and show in the airport for personal items and make you measure them and pay for them even though they clearly fit underneath your seat.

    Horrible boarding process, very disorganized and you can tell their workers hate their job. Flight was delayed close to 4 hours even though it was the first flight that morning. Both flights extremely overbooked and all they offer to change it is a voucher which doesn’t even cover 1/3 of the original price you payed. Wouldn’t even fly with them again for 5 bucks. Airplanes look like they’re from the 90s on the interior. Very uncomfortable, plain and with very few accommodations. Can’t even have a soda or a little snack without paying???. Feels like a big scam because at the end of the day you’re paying the same as you would for a much better airline or even more.

So I politely asked, "If no one shows up for the flight can I be on stand by," they said, "That's if no one shows up." Well lo and behold a party of 4 DID NOT SHOW UP and I asked if I can quickly be put on that flights instead of doing the 18 hour flight. I was told no and it's only for elite members and staff, so I was forced to fly to Vegas OVERNIGHT, had to get a room which was completely over priced due to it being a holiday with a minor child, instead of just being able to get on a straight through flight that had five NO SHOWS.

    This was my FIRST time flying Frontier and I brought along my father and daughter for a total of 3 tickets purchased from NYC to ATL. We did not purchase bags or carry on, as we had a 2 day trip and packed personal item bags. Two bags were 14x18x8 (purse and duffle), but different shapes, and the 3rd was very small. No issues getting onto flight from NYC with any of the bags. I planned on joining the rewards program, although the seats were very uncomfortable and offered poor leg room. I’m 5’10 and my dad is 6ft so we kind of suffered after the first hour. On the way home from ATL, the service tanked. While boarding the plane, there were about 7 people in front of me that got pulled over to place their bags in a bin to make sure it fit. None did. When it was my turn, I told her my bag was rectangular/duffle but met the size requirement and likely wouldn’t fit into the small bin COMFORTABLY, but she wasn’t hearing it.

    About 6 more people were pulled over after me. We all had to pay $99 for a carryon bag, which was ridiculous! Customer service was terrible with nasty attitudes and the crutch that they knew if you went off on them, your flight was in jeopardy, as well as potential arrest. No one pulled over had a bag bigger than a large backpack. I later found out the baggage monitor and ticket processor receives $10 an incentive for EACH bag bigger than the bin.

    Is there any way to give negative stars? I recently purchased 3 round trip tickets through a 3rd party site. Only after I made the purchase was I made aware of the ridiculous fees they charge. The tickets were inexpensive but the fees are outrageous and they charge a fee for EVERYTHING. You are "allowed" 1 personal bag but it is severely limited in size (14"x18"x8") about the size of a child's backpack, a laptop bag or purse. Anything larger you have to pay a fee for EVERY flight. My flights for 3 people add up to 12 flights which after adding one carry on per person totaled out to about $100 less than the actual tickets. All of a sudden it is twice the cost.

    Additionally they charge the "low" fee of $61 per checked bag per trip (round trip means paying $122 total per checked bag). We have 2 checked bags = $244 more! Keep in mind these are their discounted fees because we are pre paying and not at the counter. If you wait to pay at the counter, it will cost over $90 per bag per trip! All this and we still have to pay to select ANY seat. If we choose not to pay for the "privilege" of picking a seat we already bought they will "randomly" assign you a seat. Guess travelling together when flying Frontier is out of the question unless you are willing to take out a 2nd mortgage to pay all of these fees.

My friends and I had paid to have our bags flown from Jamaica to Atlanta $90 and $100 for a carry on from Atlanta to Baltimore. When we asked for clarification we were met with a nasty tone and the option to fly with another airline, therefore that resulted in no explanation. Once on board a flight attendant (Channel) ordered another flight attendant (Emma) to Make me move because she wanted to accommodate a family.

    The flight attendant did not tell me to move in the manner that she was spoken to. That may have been the only decent customer service I received from this group but that ultimately resulted in a lie. Instead she asked me did I hear the woman. I told her I heard her. I paid for a ticket to fly just like everyone else. I will be asked not told. I asked the flight attendant, "Will she comp my carry on bag that I just paid for?" She said, "Yes." I told her I will comply and I moved.

    After the flight I went to the customer service desk where once again they were rude. The male agent told me that they can do whatever the want with their seats if the seat was free. I thought if I bought a plane ticket it came with a seat. Unfortunately for me that’s not the case when I traveled with Frontier Airlines.

Had I booked with Delta, my ticket would’ve been $30 less. The original cost of my ticket was $48. The cost of the carry-on bag was $70, which is more than the actual flight. Had Frontier Airlines been upfront about these charges at the time of booking, it wouldn’t have been so bothersome. But to hide the charges until the point of check-in is deceptive at best. I will never fly Frontier Airlines ever again, and will recommend to everyone to choose another airline.

    Beware. Stay away! Avoid this airline. They say it's low prices. That's how they sucker you in to fly with them. By the time you fly with them you would have tripled the price. Even when you delayed and it's their fault they will still charge you for water after they have you sitting there for 4 hrs. This airline was and is a nightmare.

    Frontier is the worst airline I’ve ever flown. In September, I was maid of honor in my best friend’s wedding, her ceremony was on a Friday evening. I couldn’t fly out Thursday due to some important doctor appointments. I was a little leery of flying Frontier but was the only direct flight to Vegas and got me there at the time I needed to be there. Frontier first delayed my flight and then cancelled my flight. I then had to pay $820 for a United one way flight in order to make the ceremony in time but missed the dinner, pictures and limo. I was unable to talk to a live Frontier agent, only a chat and only got reimbursed the cost of the one way Frontier flight less fees.

    Today we flew back Frontier from Orlando for family trip. We paid $150 to check one bag. Our stroller was free but sent to Puerto Rico so we now have no stroller for our son. Also, when we got to the counter to check our bags, almost all customers were upset and arguing with the agents. I don’t do this because I know it’s not their fault but I can definitely understand the customer’s frustrations with Frontier Airlines! The police even had to come over.

They told me they do not accommodate children on the flights… My daughter is 4 years old, they would not allow my daughter to sit with me even after I paid for my seat. I tried to have the attendant move my seat because I was at an exit row, so I could sit with my daughter and he tells me I will have to pay more money, as in, I have to repay for 2 seats to sit next to my daughter.. so here I am on the plane, I’m in an exit row, I told the ticket counter attendant I need to sit with my daughter, but he repeated, to me we don’t accommodate children.

    My daughter and I board the plane, we are not in an exit row, two girls switch their seats so I could sit with my daughter, and then he proceeds to get on the plane, goes to my seat and starts telling me next time he won’t let me fly if I book my seat on an exit row again. He was raising his voice, being completely unethical. I told him, "I tried to move my seat but you wouldn’t accommodate me and my daughter." He says, "Oh yeah. I remember you now." But did nothing… then after my flight I went to the customer service counter, and the lady insults me, then she says she will comp my seats but never did, and I still paid for the seats I didn’t get to sit in….

    If I could I would give ZERO stars… trust me, I would’ve! First flight from Dallas to Denver on 05/12/24. Flight was delayed over 1 hour because airplane bathrooms weren’t clean. That’s correct, after they open the gate and started checking people in there realized airplane was dirty, bathrooms wasn’t clean. So they stopped everyone at the airplane door, literally at the door, to clear the airplane. We were there at the hallway to get in the plane for over one hour. When we got to Denver, the second flight was also late. They switched gate 3 times, mind you, all the switches were done over the speaker in front of the gate. They never updated the changes on the app nor on the ticket in the apple wallet. They are extremely disorganized and rude. Employees were frustrated probably because they don’t know what’s going one either. Absolutely horrible! Please safe yourself a big headache and don’t go for the “good deal” ticket.

    We have had 2 trips canceled by Frontier in 6 months on the same day that the vacation was supposed to take place. First, was in September. We were going to San Diego for our son's college football game. We were traveling from Cleveland to San Diego with a connecting flight in Denver. Our son was expecting us. We told him we would see him at the hotel before he left for the game. We also made hotel reservations, which we lost the money for. This was not cheap. It was a no refund after purchase.

    The day of the flight, on the way to the airport, we received a text that our connecting flight from Denver to California was canceled. We were unable to get in touch with anyone and because our flight wasn't canceled out of Cleveland, no refund would be issued. That means we could go to Denver. I'm not sure what we were going to do in Denver but we could go there. I guess be stuck there indefinitely because our flight home didn't have a connecting flight in Denver. We lost our money for the flight and we also lost our move for the hotel. We also didn't get to see our son play his football game.

    Next trip planned in April. My brother is having his first baby. We have our tickets for 3 weeks after the baby is born. We are leaving on the 20th. All packed. Have a dog sitter at the house. We are getting picked up by a friend to get dropped off at the airport. Our flight from Cleveland to Dallas Fort Worth is canceled. This is 3 hours before our flight. No one to contact other than a chat that gets you nowhere. I've discovered from the last nightmare that nobody is going to help us or give us an explanation. I cried for a while.

    I called my brother and forwarded him the text from frontier so he knew that we weren't coming and we didn't need picked up. My entire family lives there, 3 brothers, 1 sister, my parents, nieces, nephews. I also coordinated the trip to see my sister and kids that would be in at the same time to see our new niece. So, don't do it. The worst ever experience. CANCELED BOTH TIMES. NO EXPLANATION. SAME DAY WITHIN HOURS OF TAKEOFF. We did get a refund for the 2nd canceled trip. Regardless, horrible airline, horrible service, well, NO SERVICE, is more like it.

    Felt like a complete shakedown when I walked through. Not only this - I had some real fake nice dude come up to me first and get really passive-aggressive at me when I said I didn't have the app. There was no line - there were about 10 people hovering over the desk. All of them looked at me once or twice but did not help me. They sent this little smirking jackwagon to help me.

    So he basically scolds me for not having the app, and then says I have to pay $25 extra to get checked in here, despite the fact that I've already checked in online and printed my boarding pass. He did not know this. He didn't even bother to check. In addition to this - that same gaggle of folks hovering over the desk -somehow beat me to the other side, and were watching me the ENTIRE time, waiting for me to download that stupid app.

    Then once I finally looked at my phone, they opened up the lines. But they didn't even tell people where to go. I was standing in line for groups 3-5 for like 10 minutes before I had to read the room and see actually it was already my time to go. No one at the desk or the line indicated this to me, they were just herding us all like cattle. They were so eager to take my bags from me too. Like I don't already know that all of my other contracting buddies get their stuff robbed from inside cases constantly.

    I know their game. I would not trust a group of folks hanging around a Frontier Airlines desk - especially if they look bored. I think I looked like an easy target because I don't fly very often. These people know how to pick marks, and steal your stuff - and hassle you the entire ride. Because I only booked one way, they made it seem like I was always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    I never was. I just had all of these self-aggrandizingjackwagons standing in front of me telling me to do it their way. I know they probably feel powerful, getting to basically rifle through everyone's stuff at their whim. I had all carry-ons because I did not want to get separated from my stuff. When I got off the plane (which was only an hour and a half), I found out I was actually at the right gate, I just had to be there 5 hours from now, which no one told me - because the secret sauce of a one way flight is - they will forget who you are the moment you walk through the gate.

    Hold onto your stuff on this plane. I think most of the people working the conveyor work together to take valuable stuff. The worst part is - there was a crying kid on the plane, which the father took right outside the plane, and hit as hard as he could at least 3 times before finally bringing the kid back on the plane. The slaps were so loud that nearly everyone in the front of the plane could hear it. I literally shuttered every time I heard that kid scream. And not a single person on the plane did a thing about it.

    My complaint is in regards to my customer experience with the front desk associate at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Our flight was originally scheduled for 1059AM and arrived at the airport at 930AM to give ample time to be able to check in our luggage. We got to the counter and realized that we were over by 3lbs to meet the 40lb requirement. The desk associate advised us to take some things out to meet the required weight requirement and so we did however instead of checking us back in to complete our check in task, the associate made us go back all the way into the back of the line which caused us to miss the 1hr policy to check in our bag prior to our flight scheduled time which in turn led to our flight being rebooked for 855PM to a different arrival airport (Ontario INTL).

    And then, that newly rebooked flight was delayed twice. One delay at 1044 PM and another delay for 1132 PM. And finally, the desk representative charged us a higher price for our checked in bag and couldn't honor the online checked bag price and never gave any remorse about our situation and didn't offer any solution at all.

    I received an email the night before my flight stating that it is time to check in. The email prompted for the Frontier app download; however, the app is defective. A person cannot simply go in and check into the flight. Instead the app constantly asks for the person to purchase a bundle of products and if you try to decline the bundle the system will not allow you to proceed to the next page. In an attempt to check in a bag the system processed another fee. Due to the failure of the app working properly, a person has no other choice but to go to the check-in counter at the Philadelphia airport for assistance.

    Once a person walks up to the desk they are automatically charged a $27.00 fee for just talking to a representative. Not only was the representative incapable of assisting, she asked for her supervisor to come over. The supervisor had already gone off on three passengers prior. She spoke about Travelocity being a 3rd party and although I had already paid them in full for my flight I now have to provide another full payment to Frontier for the flight. She was unprofessional and condescending.

    The manager refused to give her name to the three passengers prior to me and she also refused to tell me her name. She then told the representative assisting me to “CHARGE HER UP.” I then was told I had to pay another fee and they charged my card. When I confronted Frontier about his they refused to provide any refunds. This is by far the worst airline and staff in our country.

    I booked with Frontier Airlines (FA) for the very first time. I didn't read any reviews before hand which was my mistake. I selected FA because it had a direct flight and I liked the flight times. I happily paid extra for legroom, baggage, priority boarding. Afterward I was kind of shocked that my cheap flight because rather pricey compared to regular airlines prices but, whatever, it was for a vacation.

    The first hiccup was my morning arriving flight got changed to a late afternoon arriving flight. I wasn't thrilled about the flight change but I decided to keep the flight. Then I got an email about another time change. My late afternoon flight would now be a very very late arriving flight...like two minutes before the next day. So my short vacation got even shorter.

    I decided that wasn't acceptable and tried to cancel the flight. I thought it was canceled but then I got several conflicting emails about my flights. Plus, I had rented a car and that also wasn't clear if the car was canceled when I canceled my flight. I decided to contact Frontier only to find out they do not have a customer service phone number so everything is done over a chat bot. Unfortunately, it's like finding the magic combination to get an actual person. Not to mention the wait time is exceptionally long.

    When I tried again, the tickets were $141 a ticket, a $309 increase. I did the chat thing again (same hour and a half) and it was obvious they just read from a screen and all they would say is their prices are not fixed and once they go up they cannot revert back to the previous price.

My advice is never to check a bag with them. If you do you better have receipts for everything you check in the event that your bag does not arrive.

The cheap cost you see online is not the price you pay. 2 very small Bags over doubled the cost of flight… Run away.

    Frontier made it look like their fares are always cheaper. But their fees on luggage are very high, and they charge for seats! I arrived at their counter 70 mins before the departure time. The girl told me they oversold tickets and no seat left for me. They refused to let me check in and I had to buy tickets with Spirit in order to get to NYC on time. Frontier then refused to give my money back! Totally unbelievable that an airline company thinks they can rob people like this! From doing online research, I found out that apparently they have robbed many other people the same way! There should be a class action lawsuit against this company!

    I finally understand why people refuse this airline. They overbooked our flight causing many of us to have check-in errors that prompted us to go to an agent. Because we had to wait forever in line, check-in closed and we had to be moved to the next flight stating it was out of their hands after check-in closes. Still baffled on how flights can be overbooked in the first place. I'd rather fly Spirit.

    So my first issue came as I was on my way to the airport. I was flying out for a funeral. I had paid for a seat, but when I looked they had changed it. Apparently they switched planes and the seat I paid for no longer existed. I received no contact about this. Add in, my ticket stated I could walk short distances, but needed a wheelchair. So tell me why they put me in row 41, the last row on the plane. My initial seat was in row 28 with my daughter who could help me. She was still in her original seat. I would have been in extreme pain trying to get to my new seat.

    As I was arriving to the airport I got a notice that my flight was canceled, less than 10 minutes later I got another notice it was delayed. So I get dropped off thinking I have a delay (which I verified with there app) only to get to the counter to be told it was canceled. I had to call my ride back in D.C. traffic to come get me. Their app never showed the cancellation, they just deleted the flight altogether from their list of flights. Oh but 4 hours later in my flights on the app, it still shows it is delayed. The app shows all these on-time flights, but quick check with the airport shows more than half delayed by an hour or more. In the end I missed the funeral because there was not a single flight that could get me there on time, and they don’t work with other airlines to help people find flights.

    DO NOT BUY ANY OF THEIR GOWILD PROGRAMS!!! This is the biggest marketing scam since Charles Ponzi invented the Ponzi scheme. Hats off to Barry Biffle for coming up with a program that you buy and can’t use. I tried. I am retired and have the most flexible schedule. I even based out on Florida to get what I thought was the best origins to locations in the Caribbean. And alas, I could only use it once in 6 month term or program AND the cost of the same flight was like $19!!! HUGE SAVINGS- NOT!

    Here is what they do:

    1) They severely limit the number of seats on each plane. I expected this program to be one which if there was an empty seat, you flew. Not the case at all, which is REALLY STUPID BARRY because if you considered the true economics of your airline, you know it costs nothing to fly an incremental passenger and you could build some great customer GOODWILL (I hope your MBA program taught you that term….) as well as 100% load factors which is always good instead of limiting the frequencies to the lowest fare buckets.

    2) They only have seats available at the lowest fare tranches to begin with. You are better off buying the fares as needed.

    3) And with the limitation on when you can reserve the seats, the low end fare buckets are full.

    This is an ingenious plan by the Ivy League MBAs to maximize forward revenue without the commitment to deliver. GREAT for the corporation. HORRIBLE for the customer. Frontier and Barry Biffle- you should be ashamed of yourselves.

    I will NEVER fly Frontier ever again. Frontier cancelled my flight from Houston to Orlando due to their airplane being out of the required regulatory maintenance schedule. After 5 hours of delays Frontier cancelled the flight because after a certain time the airplane would not be allowed to fly due to it violating its maintenance schedule. Frontier then made believe they were being proactive in resolving the issue and told us an airplane would be coming for us from Denver. After just minutes they said the airplane from Denver was no longer coming and that the flight was just going to be cancelled all together.

    You’d think at that point you would get an alternate arrangement for the next day… WRONG they offered a 20 hour total flight from Houston to Arizona then to Orlando not one but three days after the scheduled flight. Your choices were simple. You either take the offered 20 hour flight 3 days later or receive a partial refund and make it your problem to get back home. After experiencing all of this I decided to rent a car and drive back home to Orlando. After arriving in Orlando I made a refund request to Frontier requesting a full refund for all legs of the trip and some compensation for the additional expenses that were incurred due to their negligence, only to be told the cancellation was out of their control & that nothing could be done besides an $81 refund.

    Meaning this $300 round trip ticket was now costing me $1100 after the rental expense. LESSON LEARNED. Try to cut corners and fly with these “cheap” airlines, just be prepared to spend way more after being left behind and stranded or worst. At the end of it all you will have paid way more than just buying the expensive ticket to fly with one of the established airlines.

    This is the worst airline to book flight. They charge you left & right. DON’T book with them by any means. Period. I was charged extra $51 for a checked bag. I paid just because their location was never to be found in DFW airport. In simple terms, save your $$$!

    This was by far the worst experience I have had as a traveler. The flight was delayed 4 times and each time no announcement was made or explanation given. When you do decide to go to the desk to see what options you have or what the delay maybe every Frontier Associate was rude, made the customers feel like we we're bothering them and gave a different explanation to multiple different people. Once we finally boarded the plane the flight crew hung out for about 5-7 minutes chatting and laughing before closing the door for departure. As we begin to finally move in hopes that yay we might actually be leaving after sitting and waiting for 6-7 hours of new ETAS and no updates… then we are grounded due to weather. This was very disappointing and could have been better handled by your crew and staff.

    I literally heard a flight attendant or crew behind desk snap at a passenger because he simply wanted to know if a refund was available and he could be moved to another flight since it had been 4+ hours. Tips for improvement: it’s okay say to say we don’t know and we apologize. I didn’t hear that once today. We know it’s spring break but it’s the way you communicate and when you communicate that allow others to be heard even if there is nothing you can do. Align on customer service training and what best practices should be followed when a delay occurs. Ensure that updates are given otherwise all passengers are forced to listen to someone around them instead of knowing for sure what the actual issue is.

    Lastly and most importantly: treat others like you want to be treated. A lot of the staff seem pretty annoyed but the batter, eye rolling and profanity could have been minimized with announcements, a bit of emotional intelligence and accountability. I will never fly your company again unfortunately, I love a good nonstop flight. But for the $75 I paid for my bag being 4 pounds over 40, the lack of care from your staff and the fact that the plane has not taken off. It’s a no.

    I tried Frontier, one and done. Arriving plane was late. Departure was delayed, delayed again, finally boarded, delayed again, told to off board, flight canceled. I wasted 6 hours at the airport. Pilot told us it was a company decision not to fly.

    I recently had a deeply troubling experience with Frontier Airlines, an incident that led me to delve deeper into the company's history and business practices. What I discovered was shocking. It appears that my experience was not unique; rather, it is part of a long-standing pattern of customer mistreatment and fraud by this airline. Countless stories echo my own - missed and cancelled flights without proper compensation or recourse, excessive fees, penalties imposed without justification or explanation. These are not isolated incidents but seem to be part of the fabric of Frontier Airlines' business model. We live in an era where big businesses often overlook their most valuable asset - their customers. This petition aims to change that narrative starting with Frontier Airlines. We demand better business practices from this company – fair treatment for all customers should be non-negotiable. Join us in standing up against corporate disregard for customer rights and welfare by signing this petition today! **

    My husband, brother, daughter, and I were all booked on the same flight to fly to Florida to see our grandmother. 2 days before our flight was due to depart our grandmother passed unexpectedly. Frontier was far less than accommodating. Offering $186 future airline credit (valid for 90 days) out of almost $700 spent on these tickets. We could not simply change the dates due to the departing flight being so close and not knowing the exact date of funeral arrangements and the funeral being in an entirely different part of the country. We were met over and over with 'as an airline company our policy is'... it's just baffling to me that they have such little compassion and empathy in such a time of tragedy for a family. Other airlines such as Southwest and even Allegiant have been FAR more accommodating in far less of a crisis as death in the family.

    I will utilize my credit if able within the next 90 days and then I will NEVER use this airline again and will never recommend it to anyone. I have spent the last 4 hours jumping through absolute hoops to get to this point because they have NO customer service contact other than a chat option or automated system in which the chat option disconnects frequently then you have to start from scratch. I went through 6 different 'assistants' in 4 hours. My brother went through 5 for his reservation. The final conclusion we got "send a copy of your grandmother's death certificate to get $99 back". Respectfully, I hope the CEO of this airline gets what is coming to them. Absolutely disgusting.

    Frontier canceled my second portion of the flight and did not help me to get to my destination point. Also they did not refund the canceled portion of my flight I had to buy second ticket to get there. I strongly recommend to stay far away from this pathetic company.

    My $50-advertised RT ticket was not $50. It was $167 upfront. Not nice. My flight was canceled at the last minute, and then the new flight (which got me up at 3 a.m.) was delayed twice for a total 23-hour late departure on a weekend trip. After the cancellation, I discovered Frontier Airlines does not have humans handling customer service. After trial and error and 45 minutes spent with a chat bot, I rebooked another flight. At Frontier, when you buy a plane ticket, a SEAT IS NOT INCLUDED. I guess they expected me to hold onto the wings. I didn’t know this until check-in when they added to my bill. At this point, it was too late to cancel my trip. They also charged $70 to bring a carry-on. Now my cost was over $360.

    Frontier ruined my trip and charged me 6x the advertised price. I wrote an email to Frontier’s Leadership Team members. ALL the emails bounced back. It seems they are not only unavailable for comment, they are banking our money and probably laughing on a yacht somewhere in the Caribbean sipping champagne. FRONTIER. BAD. ALL THE WAY IN EVERY WAY.

    TERRIBLE!!! I hate this airlines. I flew from Miami to Puerto Rico and they charged from my check bag $104 and the return $ 79 with the same check bag. Also they charged $ 25 dollars of my HANDICAP partner border pass and $ 25 of mine. I ask for help with wheel chair and they said that they didn't have employees for that. We got helped from a passenger. they charge for everything and does NOT have good service. I will never travel with them again and I don't recommend traveling with them. I will never travel again with this company again.

    We got here 1 hour & 1/2 earlier and when we got to the front desk they told us it was too late and make me pay $300 more to book us in the next plane. The plane was getting boarded 1 hr after I bought tickets.

    I arrived at the airport on time, turned in my rental car made it through TSA. Bordered my flight. I was trying to see if I could move to a section that was not crowded with 3 people so I said I wasn't feeling well. The stewardess ask me was I ok, I said and went to sit back down in my original seat. Next thing I know a young ** supervisor approached me, asked me was I intoxicated. I told her NO that I was not intoxicated. She then asked me to come off the flight to speak with her outside. I was confused and repeated that I was fine.

    After leaving the flight She said we were going to speak with her manager to make sure I was ok to fly. Next thing I know she said I was not getting back on the flight. I asked her why did she tell me that we were going to speak to a supervisor then? She acted as if she was going to get the supervisor off the plane. She called her coworkers who was standing in front of me on video chat for her to ask me where were my belongings. She claimed she couldn't find them and allowed the flight to leave with all my personal belongings. She also lied and said that she told me I wasn't allowed back on the flight. Why would anyone leave their flight with nothing? My carry on bags, wallet, 2 cell phone, money everything.

    They then booked me another flight to Cincinnati which I had a 8 hour layover with no money or nothing. I even had to go through a special clearance to get through TSA because I had no identification. I then went to the Frontier ticket counter to fìle a complaint. After explaining everything I was just told to go online and file it. I was humiliated, angry, embarrassed and I felt powerless that no one did nothing. The supervisor name is Brittany J. At Atlanta airport. I believe I was told she just got the position.
