Is FRONTIER turning into a Full Service Airline??

- Does flying a budget carrier automatically mean your flight is going to suck?? Absolutely not. Sure, the legacy US carriers - American, United and Delta - offer flashier hard products, free Biscoff cookies and more valuable rewards programs - but when it comes to safety, service and sustainability, I think Frontier holds their own (and you should give them a try!!). Join me to find out why.

Nice review man! I’m a frontier Flight Attendant! Firstly thank you for giving us a shot, and thank you for the kind words. I’ll pass this along to my crew mates!
Hey Matt! Thanks for watching and please do - I was very pleasantly surprised
I second Matt's comment
Hey there! Personally, I have flown on you guys so much and I have ONLY had positive experiences. Your crews are much friendlier than DL and AA. You guys rock and I always say that I recommend you guys! Keep it up!!
I third Matt’s comment
Great! Thank you.
What a great review. Thanks for this. As a flight attendant its nice to see an objective review without coming directly from the point of negativity. I agree with a lot of the critiques and i feel like most people do as well. But I feel like we have an a la carte menu so that folks can travel their way, whatever that may look like to them. Also i think blanco is supposed to be shared between two people hahaha
Only flight attendants who get tips!!!
what a review! simply awesome!
FYI the greenest airline is about the carbon emissions. As a F9 employee myself they are one of the lowest fuel burn carriers.
Thank you for a fair review of a ULCC. People expect the Hilton paying Ramada Inn prices and much like hotels not all airlines are built the same. BTW, NK FA here, the reason we have the windows open is incase of an emergency during critical phases of flight like takeoff/landing and we have to evacuate we need complete visibility to asses outside conditions. How are we supposed to know which side is safe if all the windows are closed?
I have had pretty bad experiences with frontier in the past, but i just took 3 flights with them last week and the pilots had perfect landings every time, so the pilots at least do a good job.
Of my 4 trips booked with Frontier, 3 were canceled in advance, and the one that wasn't I was 2 flights in when they canceled my final leg. They gave me a $100 credit that would have had to be used inside of 90 days....and stranded me overnight. In the morning, they loaded the plane and then unloaded it twice because of mechanical issues. Every flight i took departed 1-1.75 hrs late. By the time i made 8t from Salt Lake to Philly with Frontier I could have easily driven the 36 hours with time to spare. I missed my first night of hotel (and i still had to pay for it) i missed my first day od rental car (and i still had to pay for it) i missed out on pre paid activities. I also was late getting back and missed another day of work. Factoring in all those missed expenses i could have flown first class on Delta.
Avoid Frontier.
Go Frontier!
I haven't experienced a comical safety demo but on a United flight last spring, passengers were told in case of cabin pressure loss, facemask wearers would have to remove their facemask before donning oxygen mask!
I don't care what I get. If it is cheap all I care about is getting from point A to point B safely.
I don't think you need to book round trip to get the best price on Frontier. Also, it may not have been as comfortable for you, but showing your viewers what it is like to sit in a standard seat on Frontier would have made this review more realistic to what most people experience on Frontier.
Definitely - good point, Michael
Frontier must have paid for your trip. They are truly the worst. You’ve been paid off.
I assume you had board first, did they ask anyone early boarding to see of bags were too big or heavy ext
I did - and surprisingly they did not check - I've certainly had my bags scrutinized on other budget carriers though (Spirit in particular)
@@flaps1019 That's good. I would like to try frontier sometime but I hear those stories and see those videos where they charge people even though their bags fit so that has me scared.
If you travel only with the clothes on your back then Frontier is cheap. Otherwise it's pricier than United.
Stop hating on Blanco bro.
The only thing I don't like about Frontier is that they fly more slowly to save fuel and think we're too stupid to notice.
You notice when your flight takes 45-60 minutes longer than it should in normal weather.
Sounds like other carriers could do the same and help with ecological impacts.
Welcoming embrace of American Airlines. Not on my flights.
Just saw where they boarded a woman incorrectly on a flight and took her to a wrong COUNTRY, not just a wrong city. That on top of another video I saw of recent rotten service I will not be flying Frontier.
Which was by a Gate Agent, employed by a 3rd Party Company
Good customer service doesn't cost $
Your internet reviews show the truth
Bad experiences
Did you get paid for doing advertisement for Frontier? All I see lately is Frontier making people pay $99 for the carry on bag, even when it fits into THEIR sizer because the gate agent want that $10 commision.
Khanh - I did not. I originally wasn't even going to post a review of Frontier since I thought it would be meh, but it turned out to be a lot better than I expected. I realize their model can create a lot of frustrations though.
@@flaps1019 It's their incentive for their gate agent that literally make people pay $99 for carry bag even though the item goes inside the personal items sizer. I flew ultra budget and I understand their model but what they do to incentivize their gate agent is wrong. They literally try to make people pay even though they follow Frontier own rules for their $10 commission per denial. And if you say anything, you're off the plane. I was considering their Go Wild pass but I wouldn't touch that airline even if the pass is FREE.
Horrible airline! Second flight I made with them was delayed four times. Last one stranded me and a child in the LV airport for 20 hrs! Never again.
Frontier is a rip off!!!
only their baggage fees!
SAY, FOLKS, ‘ALTHOUGH NOT A GOURMET ENTREE FLIGHT,’ “FRONTIER PLAYS A FAMILY’S ROLE! HOWEVER, ALL WILLING TO OPT FOR A LEAN MEAL MUST GO ELSEWHERE!” 🍹🫔🫔🍦
