Tips for flying Frontier Airlines
1. Set your expectations LOW

Flying Frontier is not ideal, but it does get you from point A to B. Just hope there are no flight delays and cancellations.

Flew Frontier this summer from Orlando - Las Vegas, with just a personal item (small backpack). Prior to the departure date they significantly changed the flight time from evening to morning. On the day of departure, though no one checked our item size, there was a 3 hour delay in Orlando due to mechanical issue, arrived in Vegas and experienced an aborted landing. On the return from Vegas, item sizes were checked, and there was a 2 hour delay due to miscalculation of plane weight because of having to carry extra fuel for storms and the effects of the intense heat. 40 people had to deplane in order to be allowed to leave. The reason I took Frontier on this trip was they're the only ones at the time who offered non-stop flights between the two cities. It was my first time flying with them. It was an interesting experience, but I must say the staff were good.
Video was definitely helpful and you have a great voice! God bless
I had a family emergency out of state which I was not concerned about bringing luggage. Went from Austin to Grand Rapids, mi for $52 one way on their one way flight destination special. Then in Grand Rapids I flew back on southwest for $120 with suitcase and clothes I got from family. I had no problem with frontier. A to B is the goal.
"A to B is the goal." I think you hit the nail on the head for how you need to approach budget airlines. If it not about comfort or amenities and just get me to where I am going these are perfect. I have not flown with Frontier and the videos of them making people check bags that should be personal sized is scaring me into not going with them. Though to be fair, I think sometimes its the customers feeling entitled. You know when you book what the size limits are and I never even had an airline ask me to size my backpack which is exactly 18in x 8in x 4 inch and I find that if you pack smart you can easily back for a few days using it .
Exactly! Just get me to my destination. I don’t need the private jet experience.. lol
Lmao account ran by frontier I bet. A to B is the goal until your flight gets oversold and you are fighting with their team over what’s personal and carryon. F0H
I'm so sorry about your family emergency. Hope things are OK. But if you think you are only paying $52.oo for a flight you need to understand the word FRAUD!!!!
My flight was cancelled and never received any type of notification. I received regular adds on email but nothing regarding the cancellation. There’s no way to contact the company by phone!! Beware!!!!
Hey thanks for the video, very helpful. Subscribed and looking forward to checking out more content. I flew from Orlando to Vegas on Frontier years ago. It was perfectly fine as well. But now I'm thinking about taking my whole family to DC so, have to vet them a little more so that they will be comfortable/happy.
I have the 100k elite status with Frontier. I also has the go wild pass. Which means I can fly for $15 with the bundle package for free. So no additional cost for bags or any seat. I can also extend the free bundle package to 8 other people and we can all sit together in the front for free. Going to Vegas with 3 other peoples. Total cost round trip for all 4 of use is less the $300! That’s includes bags and front stretch seats. It’s great!
Max, that banh mi is the best . We go to that spot in Westminster(or garden grove?)every time we visit the oc. Thanks for this video, very informative.
Thanks for doing that and sharing with us!
You’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
First time today and last time! Thanks for sharing this video.
I am stuck in Denver for all sorts of problems..their staff is burned out and I feel worst for them
Also at each terminal we had bag checks with weight scales with room to redistribute bag content. Also bag checkers at gate before agent and at the agent.
Good video, I'm flying Frontier Airlines soon. Just trying to get a feel for what to expect. You made a very informative video. Thanks!
Same here, I never traveled before so this helps to get an idea of what I'm getting into
I fly regularly with spirit and frontier. The key is only to fly with a backpack the size of the personal item requirements. I flew this same route recently but roundtrip and my flight was only $38 so a massive deal. Also in terms of the gate agents checking bag sizes I’ve found that Las Vegas is really strict so keep that in mind.
Good to know! I booked pretty last minute so my ticket was more expensive. But you’re right you can find a good deal if you know the bag rules and your backpack fits the sizer
do they have tvs on any parts of the frontier planes?? thats literally all i care about
@@eludegonewildno tvs. You can watch your own thing on your phone.
Dont fly them it is not worth it.
this is perfect im doing this exact same trip in august and always hear horror stories about frontier. Thanks for the video
update! my flight isn't for another month and frontier pushed my flight back from 11:30am to 6:55pm departure to vegas!! . I took the refund how are you gonna do this a month in advance? lol. Flying jetblue out of LAX now. never again
Frontier finalizes schedules just over a month prior, typically about the 20th of the month. So we got the final schedule for March in late January. Anything before that is subject to change.
I fly for pleasure. And worrying about cancellations or bag size is against my pleasure. Delta is always my number one airline, with free wifi, best economy cabin
That wifi isn’t “free”. It’s included in the bloated fare.
Love the free trail mix under the seats 7:55
Nice soothing voice, thank you
So glad to have ran into your video bc I’m also trying frontier for the first time and in SNA 😅so relieved it’s not as bad there.
From the one time I flew out of there it wasn't bad. Hope that's the case for you too!
I'm Canadian and when I fly to Vegas the plane is full so they offer to check my carry on for free. The reason is when the plane is full she said all the carry on won't fit on a full flight. So in Frontiers case they just say it's to big so you pay to check it..
Hi Max, was the complimentary water from a bottled water? I’ve read not to drink the water that’s from the airplanes system.
Spirit recently updated the interior of their planes and tray tables are standard size. However, some planes that haven't been upgraded have the tiny tray tables.
Good to know thanks for sharing!
Yes, also they recently took delivery of their first A321Neo with extra seat width of half inch, middle seats an extra whole inch!
I have found the prices to be cheaper if you visit the airport to book flights for all the low-cost carriers. You have to pay hourly parking fees but you usually save around $30-40 one-way so it is worth it. I have flown from OAK-LAS one-way for $15 with this strategy with Allegiant.
When you book at the airport, do you typically buy for same day travel or can you go to the airport to purchase a flight months in advance and still save money?
@@amettrodriguez5456 No, you can book flights for future travel. I have booked flights at least a month in advance.
I have a friend who does it always. And you confirmed it 🎉
The stretch seating has a normal tray but the regular seats have that hilariously small tray like Spirit. I remember laughing the first time I’ve seen it.
My issue with Frontier is what you said at the end, if something goes wrong it's a sh*t show. Frontier has cancelled 3 flights on me in 2 months and I had to rebook on other airlines paying much higher prices. Too many bad experiences on Frontier airlines.
We saw that last month. It was a huge sh*t show some even har an issue trying to board another flight as the ground clue acted like they didn't know what happened to peooles bags. Even some woman were crying as their luggage took off without them to a different destination over one person that couldn't sit with their kid. Right in front of us that same plan got different pilots and was refitted to go elsewhere as they claimed they had to find pilots to fly the route.
And the ticket they give you to get refunded is just a qr code to a forum that has no drop down box for what occurred and if it's not filled out correctly you will get no refund or a fee and if you drop it to "my issues not listed here" it will tell you you aren't eligible for a refund. First time around I got an email saying "unfortunalty your trip has options you got 90 days to contact us for a refund" then I was told to fill out the forum again so it could go to the right apartment via a chat and the dumb line "sorry is there anything else I can help you with?" Last time I heard that from a simp of a cop I told him "yes you can do your job instead of grasping for straws for someone who calls you out of spite. You suppose to arrest people who abuse 911 not verbally runs your lips about it"
@tjnyc what other airlines did you re book on?
You mentioned this several times, follow their baggage rules. A lot of those other videos show the passengers do not follow the rules and then blame Frontier. Before I fly, I always weigh my checked baggage and with airlines like Frontier, I make sure my checked, carryons and/or personal baggage are the correct size.
💯 agree I think following the bag rules is key. Expect that the rules will be enforced and you follow the rules won’t have any problems
Agreed. I have flown with just a personal sized item on American Airlines and Spirit and never had an issue. The trick is to research the size and and measure after packing to make sure it is not overstuffed. The couple of times I saw a couple of people being charged was when the bag was clearly too big but of course they raised a fuss about it.
Wow my bag fit perfectly under the seat and i have to pay for a carry on. How funny . I will never travel with this airline again.
What happens when it’s bigger or over! They won’t let you fly or you just pay for it?
@@douglasokwara3586 you pay for it
Great review
I always fly Frontier or Southwest between PDX and BNA. My last trip was a few weeks ago, and I paid $424 round trip, including $48 each way for my checked bag. At the airport in Portland, there's a generic kiosk to check in but not in Nashville. Frontier water in a tiny cup is free. I've never been questioned about my bags. The only people that have a problem are people who want to take a bag that is obviously a carry-on size but want it treated like a personal size. Besides having to pay for luggage, the one thing I wish they would change is assigned seats. It never fails that a family purchases their seats together but get assigned seats that are apart.
The only issue that I have had with them consistently are the last-minute gate changes
The last few flights on Frontier that I flew on, were ontime (believe it or not), but when we landed, there was no gate, so we sat on the tarmac for 1.5 hours each time waiting for a gate. No thanks..... They lost me. Wouldn't fly them for free.
Actually, I figured it out. Awesome video.
great video, thanks for posting. for the Size: 14"H X 18"W X 8"D including handles, wheels and straps, as long it within that you are ok? how would you compare this to spirit?
Just say no to Frontier! I purchased the right to check a bag on a return flight 4 days after my departure flight. When I arrived at the airport to return home, I learned that they applied my baggage purchase to a flight I had completed 4 days prior to my purchase. As a result, I had to pay again to check my bag. It cost me. It cost me $36 more than my original purchase, and they would only reimburse me for the original purchase. The added expense was because we purchased last minute at the airport from an agent. Do you think the agent got that money? Not likely! Just say no to Frontier!
They only size your bag if you don't pre-purchase a carry on....if your bag doesn't fit personal item, they check carry on size; if it fits good if not you're charged for a checked bag
Hi Max. Can you at some point doing travel outfit and brands? Thank you
Sounds like a good experience.
Does the Airplane Restoom take quarters or can you pay by credit card and is the toilet paper included?
I’m screwed, I’m going on frontier from BDL to SJU in august. that’s about a 3 - 4 hour flight. I flown spirit from BDL to MRY 1 year ago and it was torture. you said that the seats were uncomfortable so I am not excited.
Hello Max Miles Points, I have my booking all set for Frontier Airlines, Detroit to California with a layover in Denver. Paid for carry on but since I am flying solo I didn't see the need to pay for seat selection. Is the seat selection automatically printed on my boarding pass or do I need to see a Frontier Airlines person? Love your video, was very helpful.
You'll check in 24 hrs prior. It'll be on boarding pass on app/emailed to you.
@@eyitsmarcus thanks. Yes I have it.
Pro tip: if you arrive at the D gates in Las Vegas and don't have checked baggage, always use terminal 3 for ground transportation. It's much less busy and way easier to get an Uber
I just flew frontier from Dal to ORL and back. Didn't see any bag controversy . I paid for 2 carry ons. They eye balled my kids back packs but let us go. I was worried. Paid carry on ahead of time didn't wanna give the gate agent the satisfaction of getting commission on my bag.
You got assigned the stretch seat!!!
As someone who routinely flys Spirit/Frontier, I always travel with just a backpack, likely the size of yours, I don’t pay for a carry on so technically it’s my “personal item” and I have never once been flagged
Obviously there’s some risk as it’s clearly bigger than the dimensions they state on their site for a personal item, so maybe I’ve just gotten lucky but again if I’ve taken 100 flights, not once been charged
They didn’t size bags on my flight. But I’ve heard that there are flights where they were sizing everyone’s bag
Maybe I'm just unlucky but 3/4 times of flown Frontier the airplane has not been able to take me from location A to Location B due to mechanical issues
Is there a limit weight for a personal bag?
If you have an airport near by, you can buy your tickets at the Frontier desk and they will waive the Carrier Interface Fee. This is usually set at $23 per person, per flight. So in a round trip it is $46 per person. I bought my roundtrip to Orlando at the Frontier desk, and I will be flying from Windsor Locks, CT to Orlando, Florida, and back, for $41.96. All it took was 5 minutes at the Frontier desk, and I had my friend driving around waiting for me while I got the tickets.
Also, make sure you buy a personal item that can fit under the seat. This will save you on the carry-on cost.
As you said, set those expectations very low. You are taking a bus ride to your destination! That is it! Literally an "Airbus". However, you could go to your vacation, and come back, all for the cost of a tank of gas. That is a great deal in my opinion.
If you buy at the airport remember that bags purchased in that system are priced at airport prices and it is cheaper to get them online.
a relative worked for Frontier. He admitted they did not want people to check bag sizer. At the gate if the gate agent can demand the bag be checked, the gate agent gets a bonus or commission for each bag they can charge a checked bag fee for. .
Great review but I think you were a little liberal with your height so it throws off the perspective of the seating space. But overall great review very detailed
I think the experience is much different if it's a longer flight. Short flight is doable.
haha yes, i could've flown to Denver but decided I don't want to push my luck and decided to fly to Vegas for the short flight instead
@@MaxMilesPoints When was this filmed? Feels like early March.
@@Jay-L last week
Your spirit airline pic of the tray is the tray I had. Really tiny
I've had a decent experience with fronteir. I've tried most budget airlines recently. From best to worst: Breeze, Frontier/Allegiant (almost the same for me), Spirit. If you can get away with a small backpack that fits as a personal item, these are not really that bad. We've also paid for a checked bag - for 2 or 3 people to share, and it's not so bad. The carry on bags just kill me, so I will not do that with any of these budget airlines.
Do you have to chip in for gas or it it included in the ticket price?
I flew frontier airlines from DFW to Vegas and back. I’m pleasantly surprise. The seats are hard but it’s at least a little bit comfortable. I flew the stretch seats on the way back and though it’s still hard, it’s actually very comfortable.
We took two trips (one in 2023 and one in 2024) to Dominic republic via Frontier - about 20 people each time (friends and family) and no one has had any issues. The key like you sad, know the rules, play by the rules; but that principle applies to everything you do in the life so should be no surprise to anyone.
I fly Frontier as they are at my local small airport. I’ve actually never had any issues. But I also don’t fly that much.
OG knows to do some stretches before ordering banh mi
Flew frontier from Tampa to Cleveland Ohio and back to Tampa on the way to Cleveland had absolutely not one issue besides the basic economy seats being very very cramped so cramped and the tray tables were the teeny tiny metal ones. I sat window both times no extra room. On the way there we arrived like 30 minutes early which was nice. Now let me say the way back to Tampa was not good at all so bad that I don’t think I’ll ever ride frontier again. First off I left the hotel at about 10:30 am got to the airport at about 11 am. Our plane was set to leave at about 2:25 ish and set to land in Tampa at about 4:45 ish. Boarding was set for 1:28 pm. Well I got there went to check my bag in and the screen said it was a little too early that it had to be 2 hours prior to the departure time. So I sat there and was waiting for it to be the 2 hour mark. As I sat there I got a notification through the frontier app saying my flight was delayed. I thought how delayed could it be maybe like 30 min to an hour. Well I looked and my 2:25 pm flight now wasn’t leaving until 7:03. Mean while it’s only 11:15 am. I had no where to go. So I stayed there and was waiting. Got my bag checked in and went through tsa asked the tsa guy if this was a common thing with frontier and he did in fact say it happens with almost every single flight. So then I went and was waiting at the gait. 2:30 comes around and I get another notification saying the flight won’t be leaving until now 7:54 pm. So annoyed. I tried to get a free food voucher but the lady I spoke to was absolutely so rude and said I couldn’t get one. (Even though it’s frontier’s policy). Well at about 4:45 I get another notification now it’s not leaving until 8:03 and arriving at about 10:15 pm. Luckily that was the last and final delay. Sat the entire day in the airport. The seats was very very cramped and tight in the plane. So tight my personal bag would barely fit under the seat in front of me even though it fit in the sizer with no issues. Had about an 18 hour day that day. Never again will I fly frontier. The only good thing was the prices.
I fly frontier all the time and love them.
Ticket price is ok if you get a good deal, found frontier extremely expensive with the costs of carry on and checked bags. Just not worth it if traveling w/family.
If everyone in your family needs their own checked bag and carry-on sure, if you can share it's a great deal.
When I saw you bought banh mi from this shop. I know you are a legit foodie 🎉.
hahah the its the OG banh mi place in the OC!
I just had to pay 62 online early for carry on with frontier few weeks ago
Do you know if you are allowed to have personal bag plus Fanny pack or belt bag?
Water is free but how much was the cup and the disposal fee?
They are late, cancelled more than 50% of the time I have flown Frontier. Also they don't know how to handle unruly passengers.... which there have been many on my flights. I don't fly Frontier or Sprit anymore. If you can tolerate all the regular abnormalities, then saving money is the only benefit.
my concern is if there's a 'delay' - I'm seeing lots of reviews against Frontier about flight-delay
Only use Frontier last minute. Otherwise they will absolutely jack around the flight times. Total bait and switch.
So you made it to Vegas. Did you make it back? We went from Tampa to Atlanta and had to pay out of pocket for 2 days being stranded due to mechanical issues.
Flew JSX back in my recent video
ua-cam.com/video/3s-PpufhCco/v-deo.html
My travel agent will not book, frontier or spirit. Too much drama too many delays too many cancellations. It has ruined numerous trips that he had planned for months. So he took the stand of never booking with those two airlines ever again.
Something to keep in mind at Frontier: being ranked dead last in customer satisfaction and on time performance is a goal for Frontier. If they rank higher that means they are spending too much money somewhere on operations. They make money on operational cost cutting (including passing costs to their pilots and flight attendants) and gouging their customers. They assign no value to providing a quality product, because they feel they have a captured customer base. Poor people. Why spend money on customer experience when your customer will fly with you anyway without that effort? That is Frontier.
15 years I've had my small oakley backpack. 15 years I've flown countless times on various flights. 15 years of flying this bag as my personal item and it was placed under my seat on every flight. I fly frontier 1 time and they say it's too big
"Set your expectations then lower your expectations," had me laughing almost spit my beer out.
Would a small Jansport back pack count as personal item
When I was flying Frontier (pre pandemic) I always checked my bag, it was $30 each way, and a personal item. I never had to worry about paying for my carry on at the gate bc I didn't bring one. Problem solved.
*I don't know how much a checked bag is now*
If you understand your limitations, you won't have to deal with extra fees.
Wow your flight actually took off! Better than the majority of frontier flights! Congratulations on winning the frontier lottery. Don’t press your luck though.
haha I was thinking the same
I saw someone who thought the engine was gonna fall off of one when they saw how it looked outside a window lol
Quick tip: you save $23 by booking your ticket in person at the airport. If you look at the final taxes/fees when buying online, you'll see a charge for booking online.
Thanks for the tip! I’m aware but its logistically it’s hard to get to the airport just to buy a ticket
@@MaxMilesPoints True. However, if you're flying round-trip or buying tickets for multiple people, it's absolutely worth it. For instance, a family of four taking a round-trip would save $184.
@@gparyani I’ll keep that in mind next time. I just status matched to frontier so I might be flying frontier more often now haha
I had a terrible experience with frontier. Arrived an hr and half before our flight. Waited in line for over an hour to check our bags. Front desk person was a jerk! Right before it was our turn tells everyone in line the flight was overbooked. Never again!!
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ yikesss
The key words are first time. If you fly more than once you will experience the bad things about Frontier at it's worse. Even if you accept the limitations for the low cost, I still fell like they nickle and dime you to get the money back that the original fare would have been on another airline. Now if you are flying really light with a small carry on and a small personal item (small for real, cause they are checking it) and don't have the money for bigger fares, then Frontier is okay. Of course anything else you need they are charging you also.
So my bookbag, would it go in right-side up or sideways in the bag checker?
doesn't matter
FLOWN FRONTIER 4 TIMES YOU GET WHAT YOU LITERALLY PAY FOR. NO FRILLS NO PERKS. THEY CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING YOU ASK FOR. WATER $3.50 !! NO-NONSENSE PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND CREW. CLEAN PLANES ON TIME. WE HAD A NIGHT FLIGHT SO WE TOOK A NAP AND WERE HOME IN NO TIME. BEST PART IT'S NOT SPIRIT.
Thanks for sharing!
But why are you typing in all caps ? 😆
I've flown with Frontier in the past, and I've had no issues. Spirit Airlines on the other hand was a different story.
so you did end up paying for printing a ticket?
I fly wearing a scotty coat. I put extra shirts and some other clothes in the pockets. The coat can be out on the seat for extra padding.
So on Frontier Airlines sells Dasani bottled water for, basically, $30.⁰⁰ a gallon if you do the math. Thank God it's not gasoline.
😂good point never really did the math like that
At least your flight took off, they canceled our flight to Denver last night after we were in the cabin for 2 hours. NO other flight to our destination was offered for 5 days (a day after our scheduled return flight). Received a $100 voucher and the only way to our destination on a last minute flight was a $800 flight with United. DONT TRUST FRONTIER PAY THE EXTRA $$.
The issue with this is that Frontier is a much smaller airline than the big four, American, Delta, United and Southwest. Frontier has less than 150 aircraft currently, and over 200 on order. United has well over 900 mainline aircraft, which does not include the regional jets flown under the United Connection brand.
The effect is exactly what you have dealt with: when cancellations happen there isn't a network to absorb the passengers on alternate flights.
listen, i have flown frontier several times and unless you plan on trying to take your entire wardrobe with you, then it's a very good bargain valued flight that you likely won't get with some other airlines 👍
The first time I ever flew in 67 years and I had the nerve to pick frontier airlines because of the price but to let people know it's not worth it I had a hour layover in Orlando Florida that turned into 10 hours also they kept switching the boarding gate over 5 times Never will I fly Frontier airlines again save and take a flight by another airline by the time you pay for everything frontier wants u to pay for you just as well had book u a flight on one of the major airlines
Flying from PA was a breeze but from Orlando was the shit show
What jacket are you wearing?
Ppl may not care and you may already know this, but for the ones that don’t. DO NOT FLY W/ Frontier.
They advertise this amazingly low round trip price. But what isn’t as clear is, now no bags are free, not a single one. If you buy the bags before hand which is the cheapest option, it was $500 to get them there and back. Yes, with them you gotta pay per person, per direction.
Then if you’re not there In specific window that only they have, they close down the bags super early, earlier than all the other airlines, then you have to pay for a rescheduled flight, for $100 per person.
So that $300 round trip is now $1,000. We paid more for bags than the rental car.
That's a scary airline if you had to ask if water is complimentary, yikes 😂😂😂
Please talk about mattress run on MGM for Hyatt Globalist, thanks Max!!!
Hahaha true a lot of anxiety flying frontier 😂
Sorry just edited my comment, yeah, it's not worth it, I flew with them once, and that's all I have to say 😂😂😂
Alot of people just had an issue tonight with the denver to florida flight which was delayed but then we had to be deplaned due to a passenger not liking the seating. Then add insult to injury the people who deal with luggage at first sounded like they lost the luggage then they had to hunt it down where some couldnt even meet the flights they had to rebook. Uber now has the prices jacked up because now they are having a field day.
That same plane we had to deplane was changed so it could fly to Pittsburg I think. I also think some other flights had issues because alot had to wait for the next day for their luggage to come back due to connecting flights.
Now since that flight was suppose to land at the bus station and the time had changed they would have had to camp out at both airports overnight twice if the destination was being done via the bus ad currectly they run two small ones down the rest of the way till 1PM however by the time they would have landed there would be none or they had to pay twice.
They had us go throught that luggage thing claiming it was for the under the seat thing only to tell us to place things in the overhead
The one throwing a fit over the seating was a mom that had her kid in a car seat and I guess she did something where she couldnt sit next to the kid so she refused to sit down and refused to deplane so had all of us deplane and made it seem like they had to hunt down our luggage like it was scattered places.
I am confused..shouldn't they have seated her and her child next to each other? I usually fly solo so if I trade a seat so a mom and baby can sit next to each other instead of a baby sitting next to a total stranger I would.
@@littlesongbird1 There was a bunch of issues that day that had passengers upset. That was the main one, second was the fact when people tried to swap flights it was like the baggage crew had to hunt down bags causing some to miss the chage flights and the woman at the desk was being rude.
Then two other womans were told that their bags took off without them.
The flight was suppose to take off at 8PM but due to that changed to 2-3am where not only did they claim they had to wait for new pilots that plane was being tasked to another departure elsewhere. It was going to miami but got retasked to pitsburg I think.
We got refund qr codes but some passengers said expect to not get one or have a catch to it even thought we were told otherwise.
From what it sounded to me is that passnger with the seating issue created the seating issue and was unhappy with the results so instead of someone getting up or the passnger realizing they goofed they had an issue which created an issue for alot of us. june 17th flight.
@@furrysourcecode9809 Sorry had to go through that. I have seen people create their own seating issues and then expect everyone else to cater to them (ie not booking a window seat when their child wants one and then demanding that a stranger let their kid have a window seat).
@@littlesongbird1 Speaking of that they had me file another refund request.
@@furrysourcecode9809 Good luck. I usually don't ask for one if they can me on another flight. Last time was flying my flight was cancelled so I went to the airport early and they got me on stand by on an earlier flight so I was happy. I feel in your case they should give you a full refund and a voucher.
Sorry, might be a silly question, but... Google maps has that being a 4 hour, 268 mile drive. Why would you fly it? You don't save any time (by the time you've negotiated two airports) and it would cost about $80 in gas, versus $125 flying.
45 minutes at both ends of the flight, I don't have checked bags. Flight time is an 1.5 hours, give or take. Thats a total 3 hours of travel time. So, saving an hour there, not having to do the actual driving and sitting back and doing work for the 1.5-hour flight, not having to put miles on my car, not having to deal with traffic are all the reasons why I'd gladly pay the extra $45 to fly.
Do they offer wifi service you can pay for?
@MajorMotions not that I know of
I am glad low-cost carriers exist
I never flown Frontier I have flown Allegiant and Spirit with no problems.
Frontier do not play with they luggage once I took a flight and the luggage was more expensive than the flight itself
I flew Frontier a week ago. First the ticket by itself was cheap. I have a real bad knee replacement so I wanted the front seat with more leg room?! That was extra, both ways. Then I was going to bring a backpack but it was too small so I had an extra big purse and a carry on bag which the carry on bag I had to pay for, both ways. Ticket started a little over $200. and when I paid for the ”extras” it was a bit over $400. Didn’t buy any drinks or snacks, had my own water bottle. Next time I’m going to drive. It may take longer but…
You’re brave using Ryan Air
Flew frointer last week.... Had a layover in Las Vegas and as soon as we land my second flight to Denver gets canceled. After trying multiple way to get a refund I have been informed by employees I will not be receiving a refund. Will never fly again
This is a common thing it seems like. If there’s any sort of irregular operation issues you’re sht out of luck with frontier
Wow, even Spirit refunded my girlfriend after her flight was cancelled. Granted you had to either call or use their online chat.
If it's winter time i would bring a large jacket with lots of pockets for personal items so the the actual personal item can stay within airline's limit. I am a small guy, weigh only 120lb, i think airlines should take that into consideration, smaller guys should have more allowance in the area of personal item.
Terrible treatment. They gave away my reserved seat and shut the door on my face. They made me wait 10 more hours in the airport. I will never use them again.
They stink they charged me $25 for my boarding pass. But I was flying from Orlando and they are the big airline there.
the flight attendant, male person, never smiles, he never greets you, he is "miffed" that he has a job and makes sure everyone around him knows it. his body language is "stand offish" when you're polite and smile and ask for, lets say a coffee. Which is his job, he makes it very clear with his non-verbal response, skirmish facial expressions that he DOES NOT WANT TO BE WORKING ON THIS FLIGHT! Wait it gets even worse. the flight arrived 35 minutes early, the plane parked at the gate, the pilot informed us there was an issue with personnel getting to operate the bridge. the passerngers were patient and understanding, no one was upset. I was the very first person standing at the forward galley listening to the entire conversation between the pilot, ground crews, and the front galley flight attendants. When a passenger, just 2 persons behind me asks the flight attendant for an update, this is what she RUDLY BLURTED OUT, " SIR THE CAPTIN MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE JET BRIDGE, WE CANT OPEN THE DOOR OR YOU WOULD FALL TO THE GROUND! Ok we're not 9. Wait it gets EVEN WORSE! after 40 minutes the bridge is extended the door opens. "Resting GRUMPY FACE!" stands in front of the door, grabs paper work, and just keeps blocking the door. He and gate agent have a conversation, he clearly is doing this on purpose. He continues to purposely block the exit, keeps having a conversation with the gate agent, he is having conversations that has nothing to do with the flight. this goes on for 2-3 minutes. I finally asked, may I pass, he slowly turns around, clearly irritated that i asked politely if i may proceed and just gives another one of his "resting bitch face looks" smirks and stands aside. WAIT IT GETS EVEN WORSE! There were 3 or 4 passengers behind me, all of us being patient. Myself and another male passenger start our brisk walk to the exit. The gate agent who was talking to Mr. RUDE ALL THE TIME, screams, and i dont me talking loud she screams "SIR - SIR - SIR!!!! YOU CANT EXIT THE DOOR IS SHUT! SIR! YOU CANT EXIT...SIR!!!!!! ok for what its worth, she could have just asked us to pause at the plane door, or explained the door was closed and give her just a moment. instead the person behind me turned around at her and he said "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM! YOU ARE RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL! YOU DONT NEED TO TREAT US LIKE THAT. She then walks just in front of to the door exiting the jet bridge. She turns around - BODY SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT - RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE and the passenger walking beside me. FOR NO REASON AT ALL. The passenger next too me, who was almost got a steel door slammed in his face, opened it and she immediately yells " SIR GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR! and BAM! SLAMS IT AGAIN. He re-opened the door and yells out in front of 200-300 waiting passengers on the other side. "HEY LADY ! WHY ARE YOU TREATING US LIKE THIS! YOU HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE! I too spoke out loudly to her as i was walking away and said to her "YOU ARE RUDE AND HAVE A HORRIBLE ATTITUDE! No one was doing anything wrong, your customer service is HORRIFIC! WOW! JUST WOW! I'm going to paste this response on as many websites, review sites, blogs, social media as i can. I'm a frequent flyer with over 200 flights on all the major and small carriers. this by far is the worse airline since TWA! Your employees are extremely disgruntled, dissatisfied with their employer, express their distain for their paying customers and make everyone feel unwelcome.
Please do not fly Frontier Airlines had a flight from Detroit to layover in Denver and finally to Las Vegas. But first the flight was late getting to Detroit which was late getting us to Denver which gave us 10 minutes to go to baggage claim get our bag and check it in to go to Vegas. So we go to check in and we're too (late) so we go to the agent and rebook. And the agent saying that it's going to be $200 to rebook she had no sympathy like we being (late) it was our fault so we had to sit in the Denver Airport for 7 hours waiting for this next flight to Las vegas. Oh yeah they switch the boarding Gates from where your ticket says at the last minute every time we was about to board Fly Frontier if you wanna
This video describes the only to use this airline. If you don't want to take any clothes, you are flying alone, you are comfortable with them canceling and leaving you stranded, and you want absolutely no customer service because it's online only. This airline is horrible, they have a BBB rating of an "F". Spirt Allegent, and Frontier are all horibble. I have flown them all with my family and will never do it again. Watch the entire video saving $100 is just not worth it. Setting your expectations low is an understatement.
gotta know what happened with the person sitting next to you at 8:56 lol
She got off the plane with her husband and kids lolll 🤷🏻♂️
