Crazy delays, but it could be a blessing in disguise. Could have been a mechanical malfunction, weather conditions, a few other options come to mind. Our son in law was an air traffic controller and you would really be shocked at reasons that could happen. Good to keep your cool. Just say "everything happens for a reason" and safety is priority. Get some rest and enjoy your trip... 😊
@@KylePalIo I would dispute the charge as long as you paid with a credit card. I had a bad experience with American and Wells Fargo was able to get my money back!
I’ve had that happen on American and United. If you fly often, delays will happen. It’s best to keep in mind that the delay is protecting you from something bad happening. Enjoy the game!
Rocko's tail wagging faster and faster whenever you return home is always a delight to see! Very long travel day, but excited for the game. Wearing green and gold tonight, go Pack go!
Once a pilot returned with the plane to the gate, for repairs, after sometime out of the plane, they called us back. I was really afraid, but confident that the pilot knew what he was doing and would be responsible enough to turn back again in case of problems. After the delays, it ended up being one of niciest flights i've been. And it really build up my trust in them. I would flight with that company again. For me, air travel is always security first.
I’ve got to hand it to you that you remained nice and courteous during your travel day from hell…especially on very little sleep. Not everyone would have. Glad you finally got to Wisconsin safely. Have a great time there and at the game!
The 2 airlines I'll never fly are Frontier and Spirit. Both constantly have problems. Yes, you can often get a cheap flight, but also you're likely to experience issues and they're notorious for their fees. A lot of times you can fly another airline for pretty close to the same price after you factor everything in. My friend works at the airport and the Frontier airlines CEO told him they're an airline for people who don't care about the air travel experience.
I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with Frontier. I have NEVER had a bad experience with them (as I primarily use them for red eye flights to Orlando from Vegas). Maybe a delay or two, but I feel like I’ve been more delayed on Southwest than Frontier. I can’t blame you how you feel. It’s just one of those things that happens, unfortunately.
We had similar issues with United. I think the staffing shortages are all over the place. We had a nightmare travel day that day too. Our “quick” flight turned into a 12 hour travel day. Get some rest, Kyle!
We flew to Orlando from Detroit on the 21st at 8:30 am and had the same issue with Delta!! We were delayed an hour and a half… we sat on the plane waiting for them to de-ice the runways. We moved runways 3 times it was so cold! I’ve never had that happen before. Glad to see you finally Made it there safely!
Just an FYI. Red flight : that's the term for commercial flights that depart at night and arrive at their destination the next morning. As it is often difficult to sleep on airplanes, these flights can cause fatigue, insomnia and red eyes, hence the name.
I’ve never had a positive experience with Frontier. I will say though, this situation is happening SO MUCH these days. Staffing issues, weather problems…etc. hopefully it will start to get back to normal.
Yeah. Mechanical issues happen with all airlinesall the time. Though Frontier has high utilization rates with their planes (as most "low cost" airlines do). The tricky thing with Frontier is that they only fly a few flights between routes in a week. Depending on scheduling and availability, they may not be as flexible in rebooking for same day as big 3 (Delta, United, and American)
Kyle, it’s all airlines. Hundreds of flights are delayed and/or canceled. It’s literally been all over the news. Airlines and airports are short staffed. Aside from other issues arising. I feel bad for employees, they are really going through it. I missed my flight despite arriving hours early a few months ago, got tripled charged for bags, had to wait hours on the phone to get refunded, ended up reaching out via Twitter to get help, arrived at my hotel past midnight eventthough my original flight was supposedly to leave in the morning. JetBlue. This isn’t new. In these times if you travel you need to mentally prepare yourself that these things are happening. Be patient, be kind. It’s tough for staff in all industries these days. I can also tell you about another time a couple years ago when my flight got turned around because something was on fire. But that’s a whole other story time. Again…be kind.
Got stuck on the tarmac in Athens, Greece, and missed my US connection due to a strike. It was a blessing in disguise, because we flew to Amsterdam, where they put us up for the night. We grabbed a train and explored the city.
Flying can just be awful sometimes 😭 I used to work for an airline (not frontier 😂)and telling people their flights are delayed is the worst feeling ever!! Glad you made it! And thank you for being so kind to the airline staff even though it’s a frustrating situation!
Experienced my share of delays/issues, but they always seem to happen with U.S. carriers. I've done a bunch of airlines in South America, Europe, and Asia with no issues. Delta is the one I HATE. Imagine not just being delayed 15 hours, between being on the airplane, taxing, getting off, switching planes, but ALSO having to switch airports (JFK to LGA), and encounter the same issue again. Definitely my worst experience!
Frontier has changed A LOT! It was probably 20 years ago I flew Frontier (if not more) but then it was an amazing experience. The breakfast I had (included in the flight costs) was better than most fancy restaurants, with fresh croissants, fresh fruit, fresh juice...there even was a fresh flower in a vase! And no, we didn't fly 1st class or business. That was a coach breakfast! Great memories of flying Frontier. Kyle, thanks for the warning. I'll keep those good memories.
Why are you surprised about the delays? Covid and the staffing issues…this is why I’ve chosen not to travel for awhile. And bitching s out it doesn’t make it better…only makes you feel more irritated!
There are so many work places and businesses that are short staffed due to covid, even here in Australia. You need patience and be thankful and kind to the people who did show up to work even if the wait is longer as they are earning thier best ❤
So I commented on a previous video that my wife and I flew from Orlando back to Milwaukee right after New Years, same as you. Both of our flights to and from Orlando were Frontier. They got our baggage claim information wrong BOTH times and failed to notify everyone on the flights. In Orlando we were waiting for a solid 45 minutes to an hour before we all realized our bags weren’t coming and were at another claim. Then in Milwaukee they did the same thing after our return flight!! They were also extremely short-staffed for holiday travel on our return journey and we had to wait about an hour for bag check (line was out the door with not even so much as a makeshift queue). Some of the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in any setting. Never flying Frontier again!!
Frontier and Spirit have always been questionable for me and have given me the most issues. I’m flying from PA to CA in March on American so let’s see how they are, amenities look a lot better than Frontier.
@@KylePalIo I can't say I blame ya, I'll only take either of those at this point if it's my ONLY option. Lowest I'll go now is Southwest, which I still think SW is a pretty decent airline.
Kyle, love your channel. Being a Chicagoan, and you a Wisconsinite, I enjoy when you go back home and visit family. Just had to respond. My husband and I have flown on Frontier from Chicago to Orlando many times. We've never had any issues. Flight delays because of mechanical issues or weather is to be expected. I'm sure after you thought about it, you having to change planes wasn't fun...BUT...isn't it better to know that the pilots found out about the problem with the plane before you took off?? Better safe than sorry. Correct??
I have had travel days just like the one you cover in this video. For me, it was United Airlines, and it is them that I won't fly again. But, this can probably happen with any airline. I've only flown Frontier a few times and for me it was a great experience, but that was long ago. Sorry this happened to you. Thankfully, it's not too common of an experience, but when it happens to you, I know it sucks! I wish you safe and happy travels going forward, especially on your return trip to Florida. Thanks for all the great Disney (and related) theme park coverage! I really love your channel!
I can so relate to this; travelling sometimes is exhausting. Yes, the commercials try to show it as glamorous; but many times it's not. I actually take my hoody and try to use it as a pillow. I try to put it against the window and try to nap. I know some people like to talk, but on a plane, I am NOT one of those people.
If you travel a lot and this is a rare exception to past successful and stress-free trips, then you're doing okay. Life randomly distributes its tribulations and it's expected that every now and then your number will come up. While it DOESN'T feel great while it's happening, in retrospect your track record is probably pretty good. Kudos to you for helping out your Lyft driver with a little extra gasoline. One can never really know someone else's life circumstances, and especially these days a little extra understanding and compassion can go a long way. Safe travels and stay positive!
Be prepared..the more you travel the more issues you will encounter.. weather. Mechanical, crew shortages, missed connections etc.. personally i stick with the big 4 Delta, United, Southwest, and American in that order. Frontier, Spirit and Allegiant can be cheaper but dont have flights everyday or the fleet size to bring in replacement aircraft when needed so you can be stuck somewhere for days with them.
Flight delays happen often. Flew to OKC from Barcelona via Chicago. Had a 7 hour flight delay out of O’Hare. American Airlines offered us nothing. No meal, no flight voucher, no credit. Sounds as if Frontier was at least decent, considering the flight credit they issued. Flight delays seem more the norm, than in days past. It’s all part of the experience.
I'm absolutely 💯 % anti-Frontier. They are the worst. Flew them a total of 3 times. Worst flights of my life. The Most recent was flying from MCO to HOU. Got to the airport 2.5 hrs early to be safe. Got through security in 15 minutes. They changed the gate. Announced it only 3 times on the loud speaker (in a loud airport) and didn't change the info on the flight screens or the gate screens. Ran to the gate because another passenger at the original gate told us where to go (because there were no personnel anywhere in the terminal). Got there just before she closed the gate. I asked why there were no signs indicating the change (I was out of breath, but still respectful). The woman got an attitude with me and said "well we announced it" then purposely closed the gate on us, out of spite, because I asked her, "what if I was hearing impaired?" I had to book a new flight on Spirit and got home just fine but several hours later with exhausted 5 and 7 year old kids. I will fly Spirit before I ever take a flight with Frontier. I don't care how cheap the tickets are. And I will never book a customer on that airline. Period. Worst service and sadly some of the most nonchalant, unapologetic personnel.
I am so sorry that you had problems with your plane. Delays delays. One time before I boarded at MCO, the plane had hit bird coming into the airport and they had to swap planes. We had not boarded yet and it was maybe 20 mins delay. Not heard good things about Frontier, which I only fly Southwest. My cousin was pumped from a flight without any notice until she got to the airport. It can happen on any airlines. It can happen on any form of transportation. I work for a railroad and we have had equipment problems while in route. Glad you made it back to Wisconsin safely. Hope you enjoy your time there. Enjoy your day/ evening.
Sorry you had a bad experience on Frontier. We have Elite status with Frontier and exclusively fly Frontier about 5x a year and rarely have any issues or delay.
I’m just guessing on this but it seems every business has people out sick. It’s impacting all airlines and all business. We just have to understand that’s how things will be for some time. Glad you made if safe!
Kyle you are so sweet to help your driver with gas. Man those seats look horrible just to drive around in circles and not take off. Then only to deboard and wait another 1 for gas & luggage. Man short staffed for sure BUT you made it and Rocko was happy to see you!
My dad always tells me, “You get what you pay for” For me, never again with Frontier, my bag was lost coming home to Austin from Orlando. Luckily it was found but it got sent to San Diego.
You’re a super good guy Kyle, gig drivers def should appreciate you. When I still lived in Orlando I occasionally would drive for Uber around Disney property and to say downtown, and oftentimes I’d have to decline or cancel trips that would come up going to the airport for exactly the same reason - low gas in my tank and not a whole lot of decent affordable options to stop at on the way there or back. As we know that’s a good little distance and the delivery/driver gig opportunities have been superrrrr dry this month, so he may not /likely did not actually have the dough. Props 🙌🏾
First of all, just wanted to say that you are a good guy to help out someone in need. Just wished you were returned with good Karma soon. Dude, that’s a crazy trip you just got on!! I’m sorry you had to go through that. I once had to fly home from Hong Kong and had a 2 & 1/2 hour delay in the hot sun on the plane. Thank goodness I was in business class and was served drinks continuously to get hydrated. Hope you have a great game buddy!!
Our family lives overseas and typically travels back to the US and Canada at least once a year, but often 2-3 times. For us that means dealing with going through customs and immigration, red eye flights, and multiple connections to get to our final destination. We’ve flown most airlines within the US and Canada and I can tell you that there is no perfect service. No airline can 100% guarantee there won’t be delays or baggage issues. They can try their very best, but mechanical issues happen, weather happens, and sometimes people just make mistakes like sending your bags to the wrong place. We’ve had situations where flights have been delayed and our whole travel schedule was thrown off. We’ve almost missed connections and had to run through the airport. We’ve lost bags never to see them again. It’s part of air travel. I think seasoned travellers come to anticipate this, so when you have a trip where everything goes smoothly it feels like winning.
RE: Lyft ride, my cynical side says the driver drives around on "E" all the time hoping his customers will buy some gas. You didn't put much in (he wouldn't let you, so you can't really complain) but, this way he gets free gas and is also paid by Lyft to drive around. RE: Flight delay, several years ago I was flying from LAX to HNL on Continental. Was scheduled to depart at 9:30 a.m. The aircraft had a hydraulic leak so boarding was delayed, lunch vouchers were given out, more time in the terminal, finally we were told a plane from the East coast was coming in, they would 'turn it around' and send it on to HI. Gate agent moved us up to First Class and we left the Earth at 5:22 p.m. But, that 757 was NOISY! So, of course arrival in paradise was after dark as well. I feel for you though with lack of sleep; been there, don't like it when out & about.
Frontier denied me and my 3 kids at the gate due to a glitch in their app and the manager at the Raleigh airport treated me so poorly. 🙃 Longgggg story but I flipped out and they allowed me to rebook my flight free of charge and gave me a credit because of how things were handled. The joke is I’m a Frontier Den Member. 😂 Then on the flight back a gentlemen had to be escorted off, but we had no idea what was going on we were just on the plane on the tarmac for an extra hour. 🙃 Honestly you get what you pay for with Frontier. Cheap flights means “cheap,” service. Sometimes it’s whatever because the price is cheap enough to let it slide but I feel like it’s always something with them. ANYWAY glad you’re having fun! We went to DAK today and it was cold and rainy, so you’re not missing much here!
It most definitely is not a fashion statement you just Gotta put layers and layers and more layers because you’re gonna be out there for a long time you’re going to be so cold! Take care, enjoy yourself, and prepare to have no voice! GO PACK GO!
So I live in Brookfield, WI, so I frequently fly out of MKE. I've encountered issues like this with American before, but never with Frontier. In fact, if I'm travelling with a larger party Frontier is the ONLY way to go. When you join their Discount Den for an annual fee of $60 you get free luggage fares, get to pick your seat and lower fares overall. Very much worth it. With everything currently going on, it is just some bad luck you've had. I would continue to give Frontier a chance. Overall, they've been pretty good to me in the past.
Lots of staffing issues right now for all industries. However, Frontier is not great even under optimal conditions. You get what you pay for and saving a few bucks is not always worth it
4:55 I hate when that happens too when the plane ✈️ is half empty and someone picks a seat 💺 right next to you! I can never sleep on the planes either so uncomfortable
I used Frontier from Long Island to MCO for 26 dollars most time ok but problem is they are not consistent. When I heard you had the game I was worried . The price is low but you need to be flexible, And hate to say the people that fly this airline are not the best .lol
Thanks for paying it forward to the Uber Driver. Hopefully you stay warm with all those layers at the game. Go Packers! Rocko is so cute. He could do your Jump Around closing with all his excitement to see you.
Happened to me on United. The worst part was I was headed to my Father's funeral. Sat on plane for over an hour. Deplaned and asked to wait at gate for over an hour. Put back on plane and even got into air only to turn around and land. Then flight cancelled and absolutely no other flights that night to get me back in time for funeral. Missed funeral. Literally in tears (and I'm not one to cry). The WORST EVER
You got suckered. I’ve had that happen to me and my friend when we came back from Vegas. We didn’t offer to pay and he got offended said it’s our fault he needed gas all the folks he picks up fault. I never do Ubers anymore.
I did not want to be the 1st but he used you. I traveled for 30 years and occasionally had taxi/van driver say they were running out of gas. Offer to pay if they take it off your tab. Mexico cabbies use this with e
We had flights canceled with UslessAir from ATL to DC. 'mechanical problems' tho they never left the gate. However one traveler on the reschedule flight said that happens all the time to him on USair...on that same flight...if they don't sell enough tickets to put butts in the seat the plane develops 'mechanical problem'
We were flying to Orlando from Manchester and I spent 9 hours in Manchester airport as there was a problem with the engine. Instead of having a cocktail and a meal at Wolfgang pucks for my birthday I had a naff free meal at the airport! I got the champagne my husband ordered at midnight on the flight and the birthday cake my friend ordered at the same time ! Nightmare virgin gave us all food vouchers and the crew were great as they were nearly out of crew time ! Stay safe x
US Airways in Reagan. Took the bus out to the plane and stood in it for about 45 minutes with no air conditioning on a hot summer day. Finally, bus went back to terminal. Waited and boarded another plane an hour later. This plane taxied and then, after ten minutes, pulled into a hanger. We deplaned again and there were no planes that evening. So, I had to reschedule my trip home. Instead of Reagan to Cincinnati, I had to add a connector to Philadelphia and then home leg to Cincinnati. I have also had an aborted take-off where as we almost reached takeoff speed they hit the brakes due to a mechanical issue.
I’ve been stuck in Vegas, Dallas, and DC overnight. Had my luggage lost in Denver. Almost wasn’t let through security in Orlando because I had renewed my license and the hard copy wasn’t in yet. I don’t fly all that much, but almost every time there’s an issue.
Count your blessings that this was your worst flight ever. The more you travel the more you will be exposed to hiccups. American Airlines has always been my worst flight experiences.
Good man, Kyle!! You prove time and again what a great heart you have. Having gotten the preview through Instagram, sorry that you had such bad travel day...while some airlines have the reputation, this can happen with any airline (even on anyone's fav...I was Exec Plat and Plat Pro with AA for a number of years, and even occasionally had these experience with them). But some airlines really do have the reputation.
Frontier canceled our flight 4 hours before we were suppose to board a 6am flight home! What a nightmare! It ended costing us double the price for each of our tickets to get home on a different airline! I’m glad you finally made it home!
When coming home from Disney in June, we had multiple delays at mco for United. We sat on the plane a long time. Apparently they overfilled the fuel and didn’t know how to take some back out. Finally the pilot had to help them. This was at like 12:30 am. Very frustrating!
How kind of you Kyle! I can honestly say, you are the nicest vlogger we’ve met so far. Very genuine down to earth person. Your parents did a great job raising you! 😇 I hope you have a great time!
I had an on-ground delay of 4 hours flying British Airways from Washington-Dulles to London Heathrow while they repaired the plane (trying to get engine #3 to start). They served dinner before we took off and allowed the smokers to temporarily deplane (this was when you could still smoke on the plane but you had to be airborne first).
Glad you make it back safe even though late! My Dec flight from Orlando to Syracuse was a nightmare with checked bags. Frontier was not very organized in how it handled big crowds - lots of people very angry - thankfully, even after arriving 3 hours early, we made it to the gate just as they began boarding. When I got home - I cancelled my Frontier credit card. It's definitely value transportation and you get what you pay for. At least you didn't have to personally deal with checked bags. I cancelled my Frontier flights to Orlando in May only to find that they will only give Frontier credit back - so I will be flying them one more round trip. Hopefully it's smooth sailing. I always pack my patience and have compassion for the workers that are doing their best to get through it. Enjoy the game! Can't wait to see it through your eyes and lens! Wendy Lady
I’ve flown Frontier many times-and never really had any issues… but I mainly fly with Southwest now because I like their cancellation and luggage policy’s better. We have actually had more Issues with Southwest cancelling or delaying flights…but they have always given us a $100 dollar credit for each ticket when that happens. We are flying to California this next week for free because of the credits we got from our last flights issues 😊
I took Frontier in and out of Orlando this week. No issues, except missing our return flight. But we booked too early, totally our fault! Storms in Tampa brought extra traffic into Orlando and check in was crazy! We rented a car, went to breakfast First Watch, went to Disney Springs and came back in time for our return flight.
Kyle, your kind gesture touched my heart.....you were kind even if you didn't know the whole story....all the best karma to you. I love your channel even more now... ❤️
For an 11am flight from Michigan to Florida, we booked with Spirit. After being delayed for a couple hours, our flight was eventually cancelled. Somehow, magically, we were rebooked to another flight except it wasn’t until 9pm 😫 so we spent 12 hours at the airport that day from arrival to finally departing on a Delta flight. It was my first time flying. Luckily our trip back home with Spirit went without any difficulties! Sorry you had such a rough time getting off the ground! Enjoy the game! Go, Pack, Go!
I have a worst plane flight when I had a person leaning back on me, couldn’t breath on a plane and then got kicked off the plane during a storm and had to go back to the airport the next day and had to retrieve my stuff and it was crazy
Born and raised in tampa so huge bucs fan it is going to be our toughest game yet with so many injuries playing the rams..I do like Aaron Rodgers though super talented. Hope you have a better trip back home.
Unfortunately, your experience is the one (and only) experience I had with Frontier. I traditionally fly Southwest, but for some reason opted for Frontier…but never again. Sorry for all your troubles but glad you made it safely.
I got stuck in the Jacksonville Airport overnight when the Delta flight before mine got cancelled. They used our plane for the flight before ours. This was back in ‘98 and they had shut down everything in the airport before our flight was supposed to leave.
Took frontier to Orlando in October. Flight was okay but the seats are the most uncomfortable thing ever 😂😂 felt like I was 80 years old with back issues after that flight
Southwest stranded us in MCO for 10 hours last April. They delayed and cancelled, rebooked and delayed us again. I was thankful I had a teenager and not a baby that’s for sure! And they gave us nothing at all as compensation. I was always a SW fan, but not anymore. I know things happen…can’t be helped. But it’s how you treat your customers that matters and they did nothing for us. They even treated us like we were bothering them while trying to rebook!
Southwest has been one my favorites but they've been really inconsistent the past few years. Hope they can turn it around and be more customer-focused again.
Currently packing for the Packers game tonight, make sure to follow along on my insta! @kylepallo
Go pac go
Enjoy!!
Have fun !!! 💜
Have fun Kyle! We retired to Winter Haven, Fl 2 1/2 years ago and are originally from Kenosha, WI! GO PACK GO!🍺🏈🧀
Have Fun and GO PACKERS!
Just FYI, a red-eye flight is a flight scheduled to depart at night and arrive the next morning. Your flight was an early morning flight
Was going to say the same thing.
I was going to point this out also
and 11pm-3am is 4 hours.
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME! Usually its a across the country flight too. Leave LAX at 9 PM arrive at 5AM in NYC or something like that.
Crazy delays, but it could be a blessing in disguise. Could have been a mechanical malfunction, weather conditions, a few other options come to mind. Our son in law was an air traffic controller and you would really be shocked at reasons that could happen. Good to keep your cool. Just say "everything happens for a reason" and safety is priority. Get some rest and enjoy your trip... 😊
they said it was a computer malfunction
@@KylePalIo I try to never fly, because I HATE it!
@@KylePalIo I would dispute the charge as long as you paid with a credit card. I had a bad experience with American and Wells Fargo was able to get my money back!
Imma assume your flying some other airline on the way back to MCO
I’ve had that happen on American and United. If you fly often, delays will happen. It’s best to keep in mind that the delay is protecting you from something bad happening. Enjoy the game!
When Dad Pallo said "Poor baby" with a pout 🤣
FYI a red eye flight is overnight not leaving at 6:55am it’s early but not a red eye 😊👍🏻💚💛🏈
I really don’t like flying but I always say if there is a chance of an issue I would rather have my day ruined than an in air emergency. 👍🏻
Rocko's tail wagging faster and faster whenever you return home is always a delight to see! Very long travel day, but excited for the game. Wearing green and gold tonight, go Pack go!

The 2 airlines I'll never fly are Frontier and Spirit. Both constantly have problems. Yes, you can often get a cheap flight, but also you're likely to experience issues and they're notorious for their fees. A lot of times you can fly another airline for pretty close to the same price after you factor everything in. My friend works at the airport and the Frontier airlines CEO told him they're an airline for people who don't care about the air travel experience.
I think Frontier is very much in the "get what you pay for" camp. I would imagine they pay their pilots and mechanics less than say Delta or SWA.
I'm be interested to know
I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with Frontier. I have NEVER had a bad experience with them (as I primarily use them for red eye flights to Orlando from
Vegas). Maybe a delay or two, but I feel like I’ve been more delayed on Southwest than Frontier. I can’t blame you how you feel. It’s just one of those things that happens, unfortunately.
We had similar issues with United. I think the staffing shortages are all over the place. We had a nightmare travel day that day too. Our “quick” flight turned into a 12 hour travel day.
Get some rest, Kyle!
Went to bed early last night and got a nap in!
@@KylePalIo nice work! Go Pack Go! 💚
We flew to Orlando from Detroit on the 21st at 8:30 am and had the same issue with Delta!! We were delayed an hour and a half… we sat on the plane waiting for them to de-ice the runways. We moved runways 3 times it was so cold! I’ve never had that happen before. Glad to see you finally Made it there safely!
So sorry about your crazy travel day Kyle! But I have to say… the welcome you got from Rocko was pretty amazing 😊
Have fun and stay warm! 💛💚

I’ve never had a positive experience with Frontier. I will say though, this situation is happening SO MUCH these days. Staffing issues, weather problems…etc. hopefully it will start to get back to normal.

You just had a early flight, red eye flights, leave at night and you arrive the next morning.
yes, haha but I call them both red eyes. its a Kyle thing
@@KylePalIo Because either way you have red eyes from lack of sleep, right? 😀
Experienced my share of delays/issues, but they always seem to happen with U.S. carriers. I've done a bunch of airlines in South America, Europe, and Asia with no issues. Delta is the one I HATE. Imagine not just being delayed 15 hours, between being on the airplane, taxing, getting off, switching planes, but ALSO having to switch airports (JFK to LGA), and encounter the same issue again. Definitely my worst experience!
Frontier has changed A LOT! It was probably 20 years ago I flew Frontier (if not more) but then it was an amazing experience. The breakfast I had (included in the flight costs) was better than most fancy restaurants, with fresh croissants, fresh fruit, fresh juice...there even was a fresh flower in a vase! And no, we didn't fly 1st class or business. That was a coach breakfast! Great memories of flying Frontier. Kyle, thanks for the warning. I'll keep those good memories.
Why are you surprised about the delays? Covid and the staffing issues…this is why I’ve chosen not to travel for awhile. And bitching s out it doesn’t make it better…only makes you feel more irritated!
There are so many work places and businesses that are short staffed due to covid, even here in Australia. You need patience and be thankful and kind to the people who did show up to work even if the wait is longer as they are earning thier best ❤
So I commented on a previous video that my wife and I flew from Orlando back to Milwaukee right after New Years, same as you. Both of our flights to and from Orlando were Frontier. They got our baggage claim information wrong BOTH times and failed to notify everyone on the flights. In Orlando we were waiting for a solid 45 minutes to an hour before we all realized our bags weren’t coming and were at another claim. Then in Milwaukee they did the same thing after our return flight!! They were also extremely short-staffed for holiday travel on our return journey and we had to wait about an hour for bag check (line was out the door with not even so much as a makeshift queue). Some of the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in any setting. Never flying Frontier again!!
Frontier and Spirit have always been questionable for me and have given me the most issues. I’m flying from PA to CA in March on American so let’s see how they are, amenities look a lot better than Frontier.
Well I never will fly spirit again and now im adding frontier to that list
@@KylePalIo I can't say I blame ya, I'll only take either of those at this point if it's my ONLY option. Lowest I'll go now is Southwest, which I still think SW is a pretty decent airline.
Kyle, love your channel. Being a Chicagoan, and you a Wisconsinite, I enjoy when you go back home and visit family. Just had to respond. My husband and I have flown on Frontier from Chicago to Orlando many times. We've never had any issues. Flight delays because of mechanical issues or weather is to be expected. I'm sure after you thought about it, you having to change planes wasn't fun...BUT...isn't it better to know that the pilots found out about the problem with the plane before you took off?? Better safe than sorry. Correct??
I have had travel days just like the one you cover in this video. For me, it was United Airlines, and it is them that I won't fly again. But, this can probably happen with any airline. I've only flown Frontier a few times and for me it was a great experience, but that was long ago. Sorry this happened to you. Thankfully, it's not too common of an experience, but when it happens to you, I know it sucks! I wish you safe and happy travels going forward, especially on your return trip to Florida. Thanks for all the great Disney (and related) theme park coverage! I really love your channel!
I can so relate to this; travelling sometimes is exhausting. Yes, the commercials try to show it as glamorous; but many times it's not. I actually take my hoody and try to use it as a pillow. I try to put it against the window and try to nap. I know some people like to talk, but on a plane, I am NOT one of those people.
If you travel a lot and this is a rare exception to past successful and stress-free trips, then you're doing okay. Life randomly distributes its tribulations and it's expected that every now and then your number will come up. While it DOESN'T feel great while it's happening, in retrospect your track record is probably pretty good. Kudos to you for helping out your Lyft driver with a little extra gasoline. One can never really know someone else's life circumstances, and especially these days a little extra understanding and compassion can go a long way. Safe travels and stay positive!
We fly Frontier all the time very rarely have problems. Things happen. Don’t give up on them it can happen on any airline.
Be prepared..the more you travel the more issues you will encounter.. weather. Mechanical, crew shortages, missed connections etc.. personally i stick with the big 4 Delta, United, Southwest, and American in that order.
Frontier, Spirit and Allegiant can be cheaper but dont have flights everyday or the fleet size to bring in replacement aircraft when needed so you can be stuck somewhere for days with them.
Flight delays happen often. Flew to OKC from Barcelona via Chicago. Had a 7 hour flight delay out of O’Hare. American Airlines offered us nothing. No meal, no flight voucher, no credit. Sounds as if Frontier was at least decent, considering the flight credit they issued. Flight delays seem more the norm, than in days past. It’s all part of the experience.
I'm absolutely 💯 % anti-Frontier. They are the worst. Flew them a total of 3 times. Worst flights of my life. The Most recent was flying from MCO to HOU. Got to the airport 2.5 hrs early to be safe. Got through security in 15 minutes. They changed the gate. Announced it only 3 times on the loud speaker (in a loud airport) and didn't change the info on the flight screens or the gate screens. Ran to the gate because another passenger at the original gate told us where to go (because there were no personnel anywhere in the terminal). Got there just before she closed the gate. I asked why there were no signs indicating the change (I was out of breath, but still respectful). The woman got an attitude with me and said "well we announced it" then purposely closed the gate on us, out of spite, because I asked her, "what if I was hearing impaired?" I had to book a new flight on Spirit and got home just fine but several hours later with exhausted 5 and 7 year old kids. I will fly Spirit before I ever take a flight with Frontier. I don't care how cheap the tickets are. And I will never book a customer on that airline. Period. Worst service and sadly some of the most nonchalant, unapologetic personnel.
I am so sorry that you had problems with your plane. Delays delays. One time before I boarded at MCO, the plane had hit bird coming into the airport and they had to swap planes. We had not boarded yet and it was maybe 20 mins delay. Not heard good things about Frontier, which I only fly Southwest. My cousin was pumped from a flight without any notice until she got to the airport. It can happen on any airlines. It can happen on any form of transportation. I work for a railroad and we have had equipment problems while in route. Glad you made it back to Wisconsin safely. Hope you enjoy your time there. Enjoy your day/ evening.
Sorry you had a bad experience on Frontier. We have Elite status with Frontier and exclusively fly Frontier about 5x a year and rarely have any issues or delay.
Same with me!
lucky you!! I know it can happen on every airline but it was just the worst
I’m just guessing on this but it seems every business has people out sick. It’s impacting all airlines and all business. We just have to understand that’s how things will be for some time. Glad you made if safe!
true
Kyle you are so sweet to help your driver with gas.
Man those seats look horrible just to drive around in circles and not take off. Then only to deboard and wait another 1 for gas & luggage. Man short staffed for sure BUT you made it and Rocko was happy to see you!
My dad always tells me, “You get what you pay for” For me, never again with Frontier, my bag was lost coming home to Austin from Orlando. Luckily it was found but it got sent to San Diego.
You’re a super good guy Kyle, gig drivers def should appreciate you.
When I still lived in Orlando I occasionally would drive for Uber around Disney property and to say downtown, and oftentimes I’d have to decline or cancel trips that would come up going to the airport for exactly the same reason - low gas in my tank and not a whole lot of decent affordable options to stop at on the way there or back. As we know that’s a good little distance and the delivery/driver gig opportunities have been superrrrr dry this month, so he may not /likely did not actually have the dough. Props 🙌🏾
First of all, just wanted to say that you are a good guy to help out someone in need. Just wished you were returned with good Karma soon.
Dude, that’s a crazy trip you just got on!! I’m sorry you had to go through that. I once had to fly home from Hong Kong and had a 2 & 1/2 hour delay in the hot sun on the plane. Thank goodness I was in business class and was served drinks continuously to get hydrated.
Hope you have a great game buddy!!
Our family lives overseas and typically travels back to the US and Canada at least once a year, but often 2-3 times. For us that means dealing with going through customs and immigration, red eye flights, and multiple connections to get to our final destination. We’ve flown most airlines within the US and Canada and I can tell you that there is no perfect service. No airline can 100% guarantee there won’t be delays or baggage issues. They can try their very best, but mechanical issues happen, weather happens, and sometimes people just make mistakes like sending your bags to the wrong place. We’ve had situations where flights have been delayed and our whole travel schedule was thrown off. We’ve almost missed connections and had to run through the airport. We’ve lost bags never to see them again. It’s part of air travel. I think seasoned travellers come to anticipate this, so when you have a trip where everything goes smoothly it feels like winning.
Spirit and Frontier are like the Walmart of the skies. Sometimes going cheap isn’t worth it. And it’s called de-planing. 😬
RE: Lyft ride, my cynical side says the driver drives around on "E" all the time hoping his customers will buy some gas. You didn't put much in (he wouldn't let you, so you can't really complain) but, this way he gets free gas and is also paid by Lyft to drive around. RE: Flight delay, several years ago I was flying from LAX to HNL on Continental. Was scheduled to depart at 9:30 a.m. The aircraft had a hydraulic leak so boarding was delayed, lunch vouchers were given out, more time in the terminal, finally we were told a plane from the East coast was coming in, they would 'turn it around' and send it on to HI. Gate agent moved us up to First Class and we left the Earth at 5:22 p.m. But, that 757 was NOISY! So, of course arrival in paradise was after dark as well. I feel for you though with lack of sleep; been there, don't like it when out & about.
Kyle killin it once again 🙌. Love the Channel buddy, sending good vibes from Winnipeg, never stop what you’re doing!!!!
I’m up for work at 5:30 AM each and every single day! Your reasons are way better!
Frontier is the worst! I have had that happen to me once with Alaska coming back from Orlando. So annoying!
Frontier denied me and my 3 kids at the gate due to a glitch in their app and the manager at the Raleigh airport treated me so poorly. 🙃 Longgggg story but I flipped out and they allowed me to rebook my flight free of charge and gave me a credit because of how things were handled. The joke is I’m a Frontier Den Member. 😂
Then on the flight back a gentlemen had to be escorted off, but we had no idea what was going on we were just on the plane on the tarmac for an extra hour. 🙃
Honestly you get what you pay for with Frontier. Cheap flights means “cheap,” service. Sometimes it’s whatever because the price is cheap enough to let it slide but I feel like it’s always something with them.
ANYWAY glad you’re having fun! We went to DAK today and it was cold and rainy, so you’re not missing much here!
I once got delayed in a Spanish airport with a 2yr old for 16hours. Stressed was an understatement😕
Oh, wow!
It most definitely is not a fashion statement you just Gotta put layers and layers and more layers because you’re gonna be out there for a long time you’re going to be so cold! Take care, enjoy yourself, and prepare to have no voice! GO PACK GO!
I flew Frontier ATL to MCO in December with no problems at all - they even asked for volunteers to sit in emergency row so I got that free
So I live in Brookfield, WI, so I frequently fly out of MKE. I've encountered issues like this with American before, but never with Frontier. In fact, if I'm travelling with a larger party Frontier is the ONLY way to go. When you join their Discount Den for an annual fee of $60 you get free luggage fares, get to pick your seat and lower fares overall. Very much worth it. With everything currently going on, it is just some bad luck you've had. I would continue to give Frontier a chance. Overall, they've been pretty good to me in the past.
Lots of staffing issues right now for all industries. However, Frontier is not great even under optimal conditions. You get what you pay for and saving a few bucks is not always worth it
4:55 I hate when that happens too when the plane ✈️ is half empty and someone picks a seat 💺 right next to you! I can never sleep on the planes either so uncomfortable
I was like why lol there are so many open seats in the back... Happy I did that considering how the day went
So sweet of you of your good deed. Thank you for taking us along with you. Always fun. Dislike delays. Not fun.
I used Frontier from Long Island to MCO for 26 dollars most time ok but problem is they are not consistent. When I heard you had the game I was worried . The price is low but you need to be flexible, And hate to say the people that fly this airline are not the best .lol
Was so close to booking another flight
I’m coming from NJ to Florida in 3 weeks from today! Fingered crossed for good weather and no delay!
Thanks for paying it forward to the Uber Driver. Hopefully you stay warm with all those layers at the game. Go Packers!
Rocko is so cute. He could do your Jump Around closing with all his excitement to see you.
Happened to me on United. The worst part was I was headed to my Father's funeral. Sat on plane for over an hour. Deplaned and asked to wait at gate for over an hour. Put back on plane and even got into air only to turn around and land. Then flight cancelled and absolutely no other flights that night to get me back in time for funeral. Missed funeral. Literally in tears (and I'm not one to cry). The WORST EVER
Thank god you made it home safely! Go pack go!! Hopefully you can try to stay warm at the game
GO PACK GO
You got suckered. I’ve had that happen to me and my friend when we came back from Vegas. We didn’t offer to pay and he got offended said it’s our fault he needed gas all the folks he picks up fault. I never do Ubers anymore.
yah I felt that, I just wanted to be a good person.. thats all
@@KylePalIo Don't do that again!!!!
I did not want to be the 1st but he used you. I traveled for 30 years and occasionally had taxi/van driver say they were running out of gas. Offer to pay if they take it off your tab. Mexico cabbies use this with e
@@KylePalIo: I agree, you got duped. Hope you informed Lyft of your experience, especially in reviewing the driver. I would have.
We had flights canceled with UslessAir from ATL to DC. 'mechanical problems' tho they never left the gate. However one traveler on the reschedule flight said that happens all the time to him on USair...on that same flight...if they don't sell enough tickets to put butts in the seat the plane develops 'mechanical problem'
We were flying to Orlando from Manchester and I spent 9 hours in Manchester airport as there was a problem with the engine. Instead of having a cocktail and a meal at Wolfgang pucks for my birthday I had a naff free meal at the airport! I got the champagne my husband ordered at midnight on the flight and the birthday cake my friend ordered at the same time ! Nightmare virgin gave us all food vouchers and the crew were great as they were nearly out of crew time ! Stay safe x
love those food vouchers for yah. Frontier only gave $50 towards another frontier flight lol. Going to just ask for cash
Frontier used to be (decades ago) a good airline. Now - I won't fly it unless there are no other options available.
US Airways in Reagan. Took the bus out to the plane and stood in it for about 45 minutes with no air conditioning on a hot summer day. Finally, bus went back to terminal. Waited and boarded another plane an hour later. This plane taxied and then, after ten minutes, pulled into a hanger. We deplaned again and there were no planes that evening. So, I had to reschedule my trip home. Instead of Reagan to Cincinnati, I had to add a connector to Philadelphia and then home leg to Cincinnati. I have also had an aborted take-off where as we almost reached takeoff speed they hit the brakes due to a mechanical issue.
I’ve been stuck in Vegas, Dallas, and DC overnight. Had my luggage lost in Denver. Almost wasn’t let through security in Orlando because I had renewed my license and the hard copy wasn’t in yet. I don’t fly all that much, but almost every time there’s an issue.
Never flown Frontier but my golly those seats looks so uncomfortable.
lol they look nice but its not the best
Count your blessings that this was your worst flight ever. The more you travel the more you will be exposed to hiccups. American Airlines has always been my worst flight experiences.
Flew Frontier from Philly to Orlando. Never again. Same situation!!!!Although it can happen to any airline it’s so annoying.
You've taught me that being tall I will never do frontier. Flights are tight but that looked unbearable lollllll
Good man, Kyle!! You prove time and again what a great heart you have. Having gotten the preview through Instagram, sorry that you had such bad travel day...while some airlines have the reputation, this can happen with any airline (even on anyone's fav...I was Exec Plat and Plat Pro with AA for a number of years, and even occasionally had these experience with them). But some airlines really do have the reputation.
Ik it could have been a scam, but I felt like doing a nice thing you know? I LOVE AA
Frontier canceled our flight 4 hours before we were suppose to board a 6am flight home! What a nightmare! It ended costing us double the price for each of our tickets to get home on a different airline!
I’m glad you finally made it home!
When coming home from Disney in June, we had multiple delays at mco for United. We sat on the plane a long time. Apparently they overfilled the fuel and didn’t know how to take some back out. Finally the pilot had to help them. This was at like 12:30 am. Very frustrating!
omg that is frustrating
I love Frontier!! I’m sorry you had this experience but it can happen with any airline.
At least you know when you fly frontier something annoying will happen so you always know to expect it
How kind of you Kyle! I can honestly say, you are the nicest vlogger we’ve met so far. Very genuine down to earth person. Your parents did a great job raising you! 😇 I hope you have a great time!
Future Kyle: the worst football day Is coming 😂😱
I had an on-ground delay of 4 hours flying British Airways from Washington-Dulles to London Heathrow while they repaired the plane (trying to get engine #3 to start). They served dinner before we took off and allowed the smokers to temporarily deplane (this was when you could still smoke on the plane but you had to be airborne first).
Omg how adorable your dog is! 😍
Glad you make it back safe even though late! My Dec flight from Orlando to Syracuse was a nightmare with checked bags. Frontier was not very organized in how it handled big crowds - lots of people very angry - thankfully, even after arriving 3 hours early, we made it to the gate just as they began boarding. When I got home - I cancelled my Frontier credit card. It's definitely value transportation and you get what you pay for. At least you didn't have to personally deal with checked bags. I cancelled my Frontier flights to Orlando in May only to find that they will only give Frontier credit back - so I will be flying them one more round trip. Hopefully it's smooth sailing. I always pack my patience and have compassion for the workers that are doing their best to get through it. Enjoy the game! Can't wait to see it through your eyes and lens! Wendy Lady
I’ve flown Frontier many times-and never really had any issues… but I mainly fly with Southwest now because I like their cancellation and luggage policy’s better. We have actually had more Issues with Southwest cancelling or delaying flights…but they have always given us a $100 dollar credit for each ticket when that happens. We are flying to California this next week for free because of the credits we got from our last flights issues 😊
I took Frontier in and out of Orlando this week. No issues, except missing our return flight. But we booked too early, totally our fault! Storms in Tampa brought extra traffic into Orlando and check in was crazy! We rented a car, went to breakfast First Watch, went to Disney Springs and came back in time for our return flight.
so excited for the game day vlog!! the Steelers are out of the running obvi so I’m fully rooting for the packers for you😂💚
tune in maybe you'll see me
Kyle, your kind gesture touched my heart.....you were kind even if you didn't know the whole story....all the best karma to you. I love your channel even more now... ❤️
For an 11am flight from Michigan to Florida, we booked with Spirit. After being delayed for a couple hours, our flight was eventually cancelled. Somehow, magically, we were rebooked to another flight except it wasn’t until 9pm 😫 so we spent 12 hours at the airport that day from arrival to finally departing on a Delta flight. It was my first time flying. Luckily our trip back home with Spirit went without any difficulties! Sorry you had such a rough time getting off the ground! Enjoy the game! Go, Pack, Go!
Frontier sucks! I fly a lot for work and I’ve learned my lesson to never fly with them. They are always delayed or cancel their flights.
I have a worst plane flight when I had a person leaning back on me, couldn’t breath on a plane and then got kicked off the plane during a storm and had to go back to the airport the next day and had to retrieve my stuff and it was crazy
sounds like a terrible time
Kyle Pallo yes the only good part of it was in nyc airport and I had more time to explore Times Square
I hear your pain Kyle but 11-3am is actually 4 hours. You should be fresh and roses as young as you are.
You beat me to it.
I was gonna say, I heard 2 hours sleep then he said 11-3..
Born and raised in tampa so huge bucs fan it is going to be our toughest game yet with so many injuries playing the rams..I do like Aaron Rodgers though super talented. Hope you have a better trip back home.
as I love Brady too!
Unfortunately, your experience is the one (and only) experience I had with Frontier. I traditionally fly Southwest, but for some reason opted for Frontier…but never again. Sorry for all your troubles but glad you made it safely.
I got stuck in the Jacksonville Airport overnight when the Delta flight before mine got cancelled. They used our plane for the flight before ours. This was back in ‘98 and they had shut down everything in the airport before our flight was supposed to leave.
Kyle is one of the sweetest human beings out there. Travel safely! ☺️👏🏾❤️
have a great day!
We always fly Alaska. We haven't had any problems.. but it sounds like all airlines are having issues with Covid shortages.
Alaska is the best!
Took frontier to Orlando in October. Flight was okay but the seats are the most uncomfortable thing ever 😂😂 felt like I was 80 years old with back issues after that flight
Southwest stranded us in MCO for 10 hours last April. They delayed and cancelled, rebooked and delayed us again. I was thankful I had a teenager and not a baby that’s for sure! And they gave us nothing at all as compensation. I was always a SW fan, but not anymore. I know things happen…can’t be helped. But it’s how you treat your customers that matters and they did nothing for us. They even treated us like we were bothering them while trying to rebook!
Southwest has been one my favorites but they've been really inconsistent the past few years. Hope they can turn it around and be more customer-focused again.
Same situation happened to me on Delta, it could honestly happen to anyone 🤷🏽♀️
