- Today I Flew America's Worst Airlines in order to find out which is truly the worst! Frontier and Spirit Airlines are both considered to be the worst budget airlines in all of the United States and America but which is actually the worst? I show you everything from the check in, to flights and all the interactions with staff so we can truly see how each airline compares to one another!

What airlines should I fly in a head to head next? Also I see a lot of comments saying "Well I Flew _____ Before and they weren't bad at all!" - Guess what, I take the reviews I see and I fly them myself to see. Sure you may have had a good experience but I am showing you my first hand POV and I try to be as fair as possible too.

Hi
First
Emirates vs Qatar
Probably ones for overseas 🤔
I live in Atlanta and the gate issue IS frontiers fault. I’ve never had this issue with Delta or any other airline other than Spirit and Frontier. They schedule too many flights for the number of gates they own, and then they’re constantly being delayed.
good to know, thanks for the help!
Yes! It's quite difficult to figure that out for non-aviation enthusiasts since in Europe for example, it's very uncommon for airlines to "own" gates. Mostly only the big airlines really own their gates at their main hubs. Otherwise they're assigned by the airport in a lot of places. At least I think so.
@@ericstrukCan you fly Alaska or Hawaiian
Actually you’re wrong it’s not frontier fault cause Atlanta only gives them 2 gates and the rest are common use which delta has priority over
@@SLASHERx988 Even so, Frontier holds responsibility over keeping their own gates open. If you only have a small number of available gates, don’t schedule more flights than they can accommodate. And if a flight is delayed or having an issue that’s preventing the gate from opening up, Frontier still holds responsibility *most* of the time for causing that delay in the first place.
I never thought I’d experience an airline more stingy than Spirit, until I flew Frontier, where they separate the zones BASED on whether you have carry-on, and make sure to let you know with extreme prejudice. 😅
Icelandic is worse than both. On a flight from Iceland to Toronto we got nothing. No even a paper cup of water
Multiple airlines do this lol
That's why you get for 19.99$
We are two lol
@@tslomka6272 Nah definitely not worse, I just flew with Icelandic airlines, I don't remember them giving us food on my 4-5 hour flight, but they did give us drinks. And the seats were surely more comfortable than frontier and spirit lol
If customers are treated so badly, can you imagine being an employee? They hear nothing but complaints all day and people judge them for working for such a cheap outfit. I’ve flown both and your judgement is spot on. Spirit is better than Frontier, and I never had a late flight. I had the same experience of waiting on the runway for over an hour for another plane to leave. I think the worst thing on Frontier are the seats and ridiculous tray tables. Maybe a little kid can use it for blocks, but it’s worthless for anything else.
I'm an employee of one of these (I won't say which one) and can confirm we deal with all the backlash every single day. The job itself isn't too bad, I just wish passengers would understand that we aren't the ones making the decisions, we just have to follow the policies.
@@sakurakitten7486 bless you for putting up with all that abuse. I hope you’re compensated well. We appreciate you.
@@sakurakitten7486 Thank you for putting up with such things!!
I played Mario Kart on my switch with my fiancée by using the little tray table. It worked so well actually.
Hell fucking no to both of these two airlines. Both are the worst ever and not even worth a try in the slightest bit.
Spirit & Frontier are my go-to's for shorter flights. If the Flight is 2-4 hours then I'll go with them. When I fly 5+ hours I'll look at United, American, or Delta on comfort alone.
From personal experience, Frontier is WAY worse. In 2018 I was on a plane to Florida after an 11 hour delay. And what made that worse, is we only got the email about the delay after we arrived at the airport. It sucked, and we end up spending the morning at Starbucks, and the floor of the airport terminal. Looking back on this, I would've thought it would be a one off occurrence, but it happened a year later when we were using the credit from the delayed flight. We got to the gate in Florida after a decent vacation, to head back home. The plane that was going to take us got hit by a bird, and we only knew when it pulled into the terminal, therefore, we ran to book a new flight, and had to spend the night at a hotel, and we couldn't even get our checked bags back. This is why I will never fly Frontier again. (holy long comment LOL)
Tbh I went on frontier from New Jersey idk the airport to Fort Lauderdale intl airport it wasn’t that bad
Holy long comment LOL, making it longer
@@karpuftw NJ, that's probably Newark Airport.
Frontier left me and my kids stranded. No hotel no nothing. I had to pay for a hotel spend 2 nights waiting at a hotel and buy another ticket from another airline to make it to my destination. It costed me $2,500 in airline tickets, car rental and 2 nights at a hotel. I will never fly Frontier ever again.
Well it did not
Sounds like you didn’t fly Frontier if you bought a ticket on another carrier.🧐
@@joerepoman1I mean after that, why would he by from Frontier again? Makes no sense. I had a similar issue once with EasyJet and not for one second did I even consider buying my 2nd ticket from them again. Fuck EasyJet
Keep voting Republican and shit like this will continue to happen.
Spirit did the same thing to me last month.
I've flown both Spirit and Frontier and I have to say Spirit was honestly fine, however the Frontier experience was horrible (we had to spend 7 hours at an airport instead of the 1-2 that was planned due to a flight cancellation).
This is my experience too. I fly them both regularly but I live 8 min from the airport in vegas and use them for quick flights to Cali and Portland. The price is worth it imo sometimes I spend less on flights than Uber to/from the airport lol. Spirit is WAY better imo, their staff is kinder, the planes are cleaner. Frontier has a total “you’re taking public transportation” vibe.
I agree. I love Spirit Airlines. I flew with them several times last year and actually upgraded on all of my flights (twice I paid $5 to get an exit row the others were free). The staff is always friendly, never had a serious delay (30 min one once due to severe storms but not their fault). Also, you can't beat the price.
The taped compartments in the Frontier lavatories are "security tape". This plane probably goes out of the country once in a while, the tape is applied by customs to show that it has been inspected. Not sure how long the airline has to leave it on though.
Was going to say the same thing. Definitely not “taped shut”.
Partially correct. It's actually there to verify in addition to what you said that the compartment wasn't opened. People try to use aircraft to snuggle all kinds of things. The tape is a quick reference to see if it was opened. It's not normal tape either. If you try to scrape it off it will tear so it'll be evident it was tampered with. Long story short don't try it unless you want to see an interrogation room because you will see one of you do.
You'd think an airline review channel would know that...
The tape is not applied by customs can confirm I’ve worked in materials that’s on the mechanics
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
My experiences with frontier: it costs money to pick a seat, and the website makes it really hard to not pick a seat. The two times i tried to do online check-in for frontier the website was broken. I agree with the checked bag being cheaper because it speeds up planing and deplaning. You can also have two people combine their luggage into a larger checked bag and pay much less so the luggage fees are less of an issue.
Watching your videos is always a treat!
New subscriber here! I'm loving this video, its hilarious but also really informative. Awesome content dude ❤
One time i flew frontier, the check in closed 2 hours before the flight, and there were at least 30 people who missed the flight.
Jeez this sounds horrible 😭 all of these frontier literal mess ups make my spirit sound good
Love your video's Eric great as usual ✈️
Great video! Next, you could do Frontier vs Ryanair
Hey Eric got to say I love the videos. You go so far to create the best for us and you create such good content. Whether its your funny humor or your originality when it comes to filming content you come out at the top. I have been watching you for a while now and you have kept you amazing personality in each video. Keep going man!
I fly spirit exclusively as a college student with only a backpack and it makes travel so much more possible than it was with other airlines. I also love long layovers in cities so I can explore more. Would recommend for sure, also most of their planes are newer, so they're very safe.
Very fun vid! New sub unlocked
Nice vid keep it up 😊
Frontier cancelled our flight, had us wait for 4 hours just to get a little piece of paper to get refunded, and they didn’t provide any help for us staying extra, I thought most airlines help with some food or something? Bad experience with frontier.
I love your videos always wanted to make content similar to this keep it up
I highly recommend chasing your dreams! you got this!
Surprisingly the 3rd time we flew on a budget airline was frontier, and for some reason it was AMAZING for a budget airline, the leg room was very good and the seats were mid, the the bad part is that I trays are SOOO tiny and there was a iPhone screen protector stuck to my safety manual lol
I know
nah man frontier flight was horrible for me.
Haha that’s so funny, I flew on that same frontier plane earlier this week and the APU was broken that day as well. That was my first and last frontier flight. They canceled our flight at the time of boarding and made us stand in an hour line to tell us there was nothing they can do…..never again!
I haven’t watched yet but I know this is gonna be a BANGER!🔥🔥
its a 10/10 banger
Hey, amazing video, I love these airline videos! Also do you remember me from thinking this came out last week? 😅😅
hah yes! it is a different vid i promise LOL
@@ericstruk lol
Love these videos! Maybe you should try Avelo and Breeze, America's two newest airlines
Yeah I've noticed Avelo recently, wonder how they compare!
I enjoyed the video! Keep these up. I wanted to ask if you could try flying AirBaltic which is a Latvian airline.
Eric Great video keep it up Your the goat 🎉
Thanks! You too!
I've only flown Spirit once and it was OK. I can't say the same for Frontier. I've had gate issues, been bumped from a flight and left stranded with no hotel or meal vouchers. Frontier was always late. I have decided that I am done with them.
I haven't, and probably won't, fly Spirit. but the extremely uncomfortable seat and miniscule tray table will keep me from flying Frontier ever again. By the time the extras are added they aren't much of a bargain anyway.
For quick weekend trips they're both fine for me. I don't pack heavy so a backpack works for me. If it's a domestic flight, I don't need to buy food or drinks, except maybe a water. Went from DFW to Chicago a couple weeks ago on Spirit for like $68 round trip. On time woth no issues so it just depends on your expectations.
I am terrified to fly Frontier. I hear about their bag check policies and fees and that they have bad service.
Thank you for this video.
I LOVE 💕 These Videos! ❤
I personally love Allegiant Spirit Frontier & Breeze. I always pack a personal size free bag & add my boarding pass to my phone wallet. I just go straight to TSA super easy & cheap most times.
I was a flight attendant for skywest and the tape is to prove that that vent/cabinet hasn’t been tampered with. Every airline has their own color and most of the time it should have writing on it with a serial number.
I literally said this a month ago.
@@daledonaldson3672 awesome.
Good video! You should fly air Canada rouge next
Frontier and Spirit never had a fatal accident in a combined 99 years in existance... Who gives a sh#$ about leg room, there's a budget and process to maintain the aircraft.
“At least they won’t kill you” is a pretty low bar
Combining the years of their operations to make big number look good is some real corporate simp shit.
@@Celestial_Coda you're the guy who thinks a different airline means less turbulance... Lol
@@Ramonatho have you ever flown on an airplane?
These are newer airlines that emerged as industry safety and regulatory standards peaked. This is not a brag.
That frontier landing was hella smooth tho 🔥🔥
Spirit does not allow you to tilt your seat back which is awesome. I'm 6'6" & I don't have to worry about a 5 foot skank pushing her seat into my knees.
Some tips to know on west coast:
In vegas the spirit and frontier terminal often doesn’t have “real” tsa pre check. This means you can go through metal detector but still have to remove your laptop and electronics from your bag.
In San Fransisco frontier is in the international terminal for some reason and TSA is SO slow even if you have pre check.
Yep. I remember checking in for a flight from SFO to Las Vegas on Frontier. It was boarding at the same time people arrived for an A380 flight to Dubai. There were probably 500 people waiting to go through security. You can’t beat the $20 fare each way, though. Is it worth it? I don’t know.
This is fire mate
I've flown both frontier and spirit I haven't had any bad experiences everything went smoothly on both flights
Yea real for Frontier
When I flew Frontier it went very well no delays easy check in and a super nice crew. However I flew on one of the brand new A320’s and also booked one of the front row seats with extra leg room. Definitely not as nice as Delta but it got me where I needed to be.
"It is way too early for this, it's like 4:30 in the morning..." I'm watching this at 3:30 in the morning! 😂😂😂
I’ve flown round trip on Frontier from GRB direct to DEN on several occasions. When you purchase your ticket you know what their rules and fee schedule are. I’ve had nothing but good luck with them. That being said, I’ve never flown them where you have to make a connection. Safe travels everyone. ✈️🙏
Frontier makes Spirit looks luxury. Also... You explained what a budget airline is... Aren't they all like that now a days?
Can you fly Delta and United? That would be super cool.
Delta is automatically better. ( opinion ) I’ve never flown united but I know they don’t do carry ons and delta does. Also I’ve flown delta many times and it was the best airline I have ever flown
i think he did
@@joeylego6722they do carry ons, and overall united is a pretty good airline.
@@joeylego6722how can u know if you never flew United 💀
@@BasebalIShorts. I don’t 😂, but I can imagine it’d be close, and I personally just love delta
Hey,
The only thing I liked about the 2 airlines was the wing. The bunny and "Howdy" just made me laugh. Plus normally on my spirit flights, they also that that medal table thing like in frontier. I don't know if it's because I go on an old plane or what. I guess they both eh. Nice vid.
Erik - maybe you should try JetStar (Qantas low cost airline). I know that it’s in Australia so a while away from you but it’s actually quite a good + cheap airline and there is good food (paid for though). It has reclining seats and decent legroom etc, it’s not late much and the landings are good - I was in Australia and I flew it twice however sometimes it can be quite bad! (Vid 2 of asking for it)
The real thing that matters is if you land safely😊
The seat is fine to sit in for a couple hour flight. You dont need a large tray table since food/drink is charged, and most people won't buy it. You are flying an ULCC, you need to set your expectations to the price. You could have put your backpack in the overhead since they were mostly empty. Since the plane was fairly empty, I am guessing you bought zone 1 boarding.
Love ur vids
My mom told me to never fly in Frontier Airlines or Spirit Airlines, and she also told me to avoid Southwest Airlines as well, after the chaos they had this previous Christmas season where so many Southwest flights were cancelled, which left so many Southwest passengers stranded in airports during the holidays.
The only airline I've ever flown in was Allegiant Air, and honestly, I trust Allegiant Air more than any other low-cost airline in the USA, but I curiously wanted to try the USA's newest airline, which is Avelo Airlines, but sadly, that airline has suspended flights from my home state, after it didn't meet its expectations.
I love flying Southwest. The Christmas nightmare was bad ,but I have only suffered minor setbacks in 15 years of flying. Their credit card point system is Awesome. My last trip Roundtrip for 3. Austin to Denver was 32 bucks. My next trip.Austin to LAX for 2Roundtrip will be less than 25 bucks
I just took Spirit to Miami and it was horrible. It kept on getting delayed because of the weather supposedly and there was no gate agent updating us. They were hiding the whole time. Long story short, it was their fault and we were supposed to fly out at 6:00 p.m. and we did not leave till 2:45 in the morning and they only gave us a voucher for $50 was expires the month after issue. Horrible experience and customer service.
Well you were just unlucky. I've never had any problem with spirit and it is so far the most reliable airline I've been on in the US.
Airlines don’t control the weather, sorry. Don’t blame them for Mother Nature. Especially flying to Florida in hurricane season. That’s on you.
@RafaRadityo7 r u a bot? Or a paid reviewer? 99.99% don't have a good reliable experience with Spirit. Unless you've only ever flown with them .
@@mariuslives8250 I took air Canada 3 times which iirc was chosen as the best airline in North America and first time, it got cancelled, and second and third time it was delayed by 3 hours. United delays me in most flights tho not really majot
I've flown pretty much all the domestic American airlines and I've had very few issues with Spirit, but American and Southwest have been the worst for me, especially with delays.
You should try bahamasair. They operate in Miami Nassau fort laudedale and orlando
My best friend and I are going to vegas in 4 months, the flights on spirit and frontier were 1/4 of the price of united, and they were non stop. I still picked united, we are going for a weekend and have to be back on Monday by 5pm to go to work. There was no way I could risk that insanity or sit in that seat for 4 hrs. Great video, made me feel like I made the right choice even thought it cost me more money
I’d love to watch you review regional carriers in Canada. Fly out of YTZ and compare the likes of Porter, AC:Express and WJ: Encore. They don’t get nearly as much attention as their parent airlines do.
the time used frontier is when me and my family we were going to Cancun mexico which was a 3 hour flight it was disgusting and flight was delayed without any explanation we were just waiting on the runaway for one hour
Three hours to fly to Cancun from where? Where did you start?
@@TheNoiseySpectator Washington DC
If you were uncomfortable going from ATL to Ft Lauderdale on a budget airline try going from Tijuana to Cancun on Volaris, Mexico's Spirit AL equivalent. At one point I honestly didn't think I would make it.
How long is that flight ?
@@bushysowavvey About 5 hours.
As a former F9 flight attendant.. we were given 10-15 minutes in between flights. FAs are required to de-trash the cabin, fix the seatbelt on each seat, and clean the lavatory. The gate agents had a vacuum they would come in and give us a hand, time permitting. I’m not saying to excuse the mess around your seat and the lavatory, but when it comes to the expectation of these budget airlines versus a mainline legacy airline that has subcontractors do all of this.. it’s no doubt your tray table was going to be dirty. They don’t have the resources or time for detailed work. It doesn’t help that all this work goes unpaid because we were not paid when the cabin door was opened.
That tray table is going to be common place in a few years. Allegiant started using them back in 2019 and I had the same experience with the seats.
I swear they remove a 1/5 of an inch of leg room every few years.
I flew Frontier I was pleasantly happy with it the bathroom was great my only complaint was the drink prices the tray was small but I only had a can so it was plenty big for that
The "no printable boarding pass" issue at the airport is coming to all airlines, not just the ULCC & LCC carriers. Alaska Airlines is doing that now and when Alaska (tech savy) debuts a new way to check-in, all the other airlines will follow soon. Bet on it!
There’s no reason to print a boarding pass in 2023
@@JesseDieboltI like keeping them as souvenirs.
“Holy shit that was brutal” 😅 that had me laughing
I had to take an emergency trip last year and because it was late at night my sister did the purchasing and while i forget what she did for the going flight she did Spirit for my return and it was the worst. It was 2-3 hours late, switched terminals, loaded from the tarmac instead of the provided gate and when I tried to get some sleep it was so bumpy I couldn’t. I had work the next morning and yet my sister still booked me a late flight where once you factor in the drive afterwards I didn’t get back until after 1AM. Last time I have her book for me last minute
Do Delta vs United that would be awesome
Delta
Just a couple things to point out so you have a better idea of Frontier. Frontier does have new seats on the newer planes, the one you flew is actually one of the older ones that still has the old configuration. The newer ones are nicer and have full sized tray tables. The A/C being off, was due to the ground air being used, it isnt always the best, usually the pilots will turn on the APU and the bleed air when it gets to about 76-78 on the displays up front. The bathroom panels are not held by the "tape" those are security strips to make sure no one removes a panel and puts anything inside them. Gate issues are just issues that can happen, a lot of times if a plane breaks they will try to fix it quick, but sometimes it delays into other flights arriving.
Agree 100 percent. I fly weekly from fort meters or Tampa to Cincinnati on frontier and their planes are newer, nicer and I love flying them. And I have over 150,000 actual flight miles on delta and United each. Frontier is not like this in my experience. But I have a different flight path.
What could they put in there? The passengers are screened for explosives at security.
Great post OP.. excellent info. I was thinking about taking a flight to cancun, ticket cost on frontier is $80 one way... Should I book it?
Go for it! Just make sure you pack properly and know how the carry on/personal items size/guide works. @@timd729

Thank u
@@ericstrukcan you do KLM en TUI

Honestly Frontier's brand new A321neos are very comfortable, clean, nice-looking and are quiet which makes up for the delays they keep having.
I’m on one right now and I agree.
Frontier did a flight from Denver to San Diego yesterday. THEY LOST EVERYONE'S LUGGAGE! The entire fight's baggage is missing, and they told NO ONE. They did not say a word during the ENTIRE flight, not before or after boarding about all the baggage being gone. Even when we got to the baggage claim, they tried to flee the office but me and the other passengers formed a line outside their office until they finally let us ask questions. They DO NOT HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER! They got rid of it in favor of an unreliable chat room where people attempt and fail to solve your problems. They're really bad, they often take 10-15 minutes between replies, don't read what you type, and often fail to use basic common sense. ALSO, they told me they were UNSURE if the aircraft had been loaded with cargo or not, a blatant violation of weight and balance guidelines put in place by the FAA.
Absolute joke of an Airline, they claim to be cheap but charge for EVERYTHING and are utterly disorganized and unsafe. Do not fly, SERIOUSY, I am expecting them to make the news about a plane crash eventually with how clueless they are.
Flew frontier before. The flying experience is not that bad, but customer service is nonexistent. Nice video though!
yeah it was def interesting
@@ericstrukBro can you fly southwest?
If you gonna keep saying that to him, he won’t do it@@Sifa_Rab
if im being honest, i went on a trip with my parents on spirit and im gonna say its one of the best flights ive been on
We sat for 2hrs on the tarmac in atlanta from Puerto Rico..we were actually 25 minutes ahead of schedule..there was no plane at the gate in Atlanta we pulled in, then all of a sudden they backed us out and the 2hrs began..horrible..i will never ever fly frontier again. The sad thing is we've flown frontier 3 times..twice to salt lake city and once to Puerto rico never an issue until that trip back from Puerto Rico. That 2hrs did it for me..ive had 2 friends that happened the same to them as well..not 2hrs but over an hr.
I had to wait an 1 hour+ at FLL with AC because there was another 333 at the gate. It's not only a ULCC thing.
Can you rate TAP?
Do American Airlines vs Air Canada
Battle of the flagship bottom. I like this idea.
I love spirit,flew them many times,but I do bring a backpack only most of time so it works out well
😊
This video particularly hits home for me I flew frontier on a connecting flight from Chicago to Florida. We had to stop in North Carolina and get on the next plane from there. Everything was going great. We got to the airport on time we made it through security, and was overall a good experience for about the first quarter of the experience but as soon as we got to the waiting area, all hell broke loose people had connecting flights from different states and they would be on their 5th to 6/7 flight. Just trying to get to the destinations. You are so lucky you did not take a connecting flight you would be left stranded. I got on the plane to North Carolina two hours late. It was a two hour delay, and when we made it to North Carolina, we had to wait because there was another frontier plane in our pocket so we had to wait two more hours just to get off the plane and when we got off we were at the news we missed our connecting flight because our plane was waiting too long in that area so we slept at the airport and waited for the next flight to Orlando, Florida we are sick another connecting flight to get there. We had to go to Dakota then we would take a connecting flight to Florida. Once we made it to Dakota we were stranded once again mind you our trip was only four days long so it wasn’t really a trip anymore. We only have one day if we stay there, so we try to take a connecting flight back home to Chicago. We would have to go back to North Carolina and then be able to go to Chicago. Once we got to North Carolina we were stranded once again we had to wait three days in the North Carolina airport to go back to Chicago. It was hell.
Frontier Airlines will always be the worst airline because it ruined our honeymoon.
Explain
@@HuskyPolitics I booked a flight through priceline which had American Airlines take us to our destination and Frontier Airlines return us home. This was months in advance. Then about 2 weeks before the wedding, Frontier Airlines canceled the return flight. We were unable to get our money back from either airline, only turn them into flight credits. Then I slightly adjusted our honeymoon dates and booked again, this time only with Frontier to try to use up the flight credits. 2 days before our wedding they canceled one of their flights again and could not give us a date that worked or our money back. Had to postpone our honeymoon for several months and lost money on tickets we had bought to do stuff at our destination.
Unlike Frontier and Spirit, American is a normal airline and they're all still pretty bad airlines
they are all bunda
I flew on Frontier for awhile to San Francisco. They had some insane promotions. Once a round trip ticket was $38. Total. I could not pick seat or have luggage. Was not supposed to even have carry on, but snuck computer bag on. The flights were empty of course, consequently, the middle seat the gave me became my row.
Their rates are now higher than United and Alaska. The people working there seemed happy at the time.
You’re lucky you got stuck on the runway waiting. A few months ago I took a flight on Hawaiian Airlines to JFK airport in New York and when we had a plane in our gate we spent the time doing circles around the airport waiting for them to move. I’m pretty sure that’s a fairly normal thing but I just hate flying and much rather would’ve been sitting still on the ground
It feels illegal to be this early

I love this channel
lol same
glad you are here!
We fly Frontier all the time and rarely have an issue 🤷♀️ They have flights all day long and at PHX I generally fly out of the newest, nicest gates.
Use the app to skip the kiosk all together unless you're checking a bag. You've already checked in, no reason to do so again at the airport. It makes it easy. I've never been asked to size my bag, either
Define “all the time” because I fly them just about weekly back and fourth from Orlando to Denver and it’s always terrible. My only reasoning for continuing to use them is I never bring a carry on or check a bag and I generally just sleep. My flights are delayed 9 times out of 10 and are definitely in the worst concourses of each airport.
@@Barrett619 at least monthly, but also sometimes as often as every 2 weeks.
Depends on the day and the agent. In Green Bay they can be quite strict about making sure the carry on and/or personal item fits in the carrier thing at the gate. In Denver we boarded and nobody appeared to give a hoot. I think it might depend how full the flight is.
I will never forget the time that I flew Frontier and a very drunk couple got on the plane. The flight attendants gave them MORE alcohol. They started causing a scene in flight but once the extra alcohol kicked in they went to sleep.
The baggage check in for my frontier flight took one and a half hours as there were only two kiosks.

the random selection thing is actually at random most of the times in Canadian Airports. The walk though scanner computer just keeping going until it randomly sounds. I used to do that job. other reason is a name could be similar to the no fly.
Hey Eric I usually fly frontier a lot but it is not as bad as spirit. I fly from Trenton to Fll, Alt, and Nc and it is a pleasant experience. It is only bad because of its cancellation rates, please don’t say that frontier is a bad airline😅😢.
Agreed
Online reviews say otherwise.
Imagine if Ryanair was the best airline
that would be nuts
I had an identical issue with Frontier, the rock hard seats actually caused a very painful skin tag on my butt after a long flight from Cleveland to Las Vegas, I also had the wait on the runway from a plane parked at the gate we were scheduled on.
Spirit gets a bad wrap because that's the popular thing to do on the internet but I've flown Spirit countless times and never had any issues. Great for when you're just traveling light for a quick trip and don't need to check in bags.
naaa bro that is not even a tray table, that's an ipad mini without the screen
LOL
I feel like Spirt is the worst
watch and find out hehe

I think Frontier was worst
I just flew frontier over thanksgiving weekend and on my flight to Knoxville our scheduled flight was 5:35 but we didn’t take off until 7:30 we were on the ground for almost 3 hours while waiting on maintenance on the plane
I’ve flown Spirit a few times. Once Sacramento-Las Vegas and twice Las Vegas-Sacramento. It’s not too bad. I always pay extra for the emergency exit row though
Only in America will somebody complain about being able to fly someplace for less than the cost of gas to drive. If you don’t like saving a bunch of money and the minor inconvenience, take another airline.
Found the Frontier flight attendant
No. A commuting airline pilot, for over 20 years. The ultra low cost carriers (Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, etc.) are the logical conclusion of deregulation. If you go to Europe or the Far East, they are more common and less criticized. I can fly from Orlando to Houston in 1.5 hours for less than $50, if I buy a ticket. Or I can spend over $100 in gas and 17 hours driving. I can't sleep in a car, but I sleep like a baby on an airplane, because I know there are 2 trained professionals up front. Just put the earplugs in and lean on the wall or slouch down in a middle seat, even on the non-reclining seats of Spirit and Frontier. It's not as good as a First Class seat, but it's only for a short time.
Commercial aviation is a modern miracle. That Spirit et al can sell seats so cheap never ceases to amaze me.
It all depends on your attitude and expectations.
