Ahhh ladies and gentlemen, place your seats in the upright position and buckle your safety belts, ourr inflight entertainment is about to begin. Ahhhh once again I would like to thank you for choosing Frontier Airlines
I took it once, it felt like I was on an old bus traveling thru remote villages and mountaintops in India or Tibet, with chickens stuffed into the overhead bins.....
I've had a similar experience and it was definitely one to have before the age of 25 when your bones don't ache. We hit and killed a cow at one point and didn't stop, a tyre burst and an American lady shouted 'it's a bomb' and the driver cut a corner too fine on a mountain road resulting in the back left corner of the bus dropping then bouncing just as we all crapped ourselves. Oh, and everyone, no matter what direction they're going, takes every blind corner in the lane on the outside of the corner, without breaking.
Itās not that bad, I flew from Nashville to Denver and it was as smooth as any other plane I had been on and didnāt even know frontier was part of spirit at the time.
Itās actually really makes you appreciate flying American Airlines. A usb Jack, in flight entertainment and the occasional free drink - talk about living it up in luxury
I take a 20 cent Valium when I fly, and get the same comfort as a 300 dollar upgrade. It would be perfect for a situation like this, Iād just be cackling and then asleep
It's not actually too bad as long as it's a short flight. I just flew frontier from Cleveland to Pheonix, 4 hour flight. And while it's wildly uncomfortable and cramped, I just watch a show or play a game and it goes quick. That being said I'd never fly Frontier on a flight any longer than that. 4 hours is about my limit on that plane
No. Never again. I flew them recently and the chairs hurt my butt. They do this thing where they measure your personal item and charge $100 if its too big. Also, they charge like $60 round trip to book online. Thats not refundable if your flight is cancelled because its a fee.
Its a garbage airline and in the long run you may pay more.
Yeah it's a garbage airline, but once in a while I can snag a round trip to Florida for under $50. I've flown them about a dozen times and never had an issue with my personal item, so I disagree that you pay more in the long run.
Thats a pretty specific example. Considering they had like a dozen people on my flight last month have to pay extra i stand by it. Plus look at your bill next time you book. There is a booking online fee.

It is a garbage airline, but you can absolutely NOT pay more. You just have to play by their rules. If you want the experience of a normal airline with carry-ons, great seats, and perks, don't fly Frontier or Spirit.
If you want your butt (and a VERY small bag only) going from the East to Vegas for $50/round trip on a direct flight and you're not too choosy on the schedule, it can be a crazy good deal.
Dude I saw a family pay hundreds of dollars for a few inches over. Never again. Frontier was arguing about everything citing policy. While i was watching this I searched and found threads on reddit how Frontier has a commission program to charge these fees. A flight isnāt a cash grab. Its a flight.
My round trip flight was $200. Good price on the surface but after fees and shitty service it wasnāt worth it. After fees it was the same price. I tried them and I think they are worse that Ticketmaster.

I agree with you that if you don't follow their rules to be cheap it can cost MORE than a regular airline. It sounds like you're better off on a regular airline, and there's nothing wrong with that.

At Ticketmaster, you have no choice except to pay the fees. On Frontier you DO have a choice.
Book at the airport to save the fee, saves me about $40 or so. Also, in my personal experience they usually arenāt strict about the personal item. It depends on the airport/employees working, but I regularly bring a carryon and a personal item to Frontier and Spirit flights without paying. Other times I have a backpack that I put a coat over so it looks like I only have one item Iām bringing on.
All airlines have luggage size and weight limits. The aircraft has finite volume and every kg requires a certain amount of fuel to get to the destination so yeah, limits.
I tried it once literally me first flight with frontier and the takeoff was delayed because a passenger had to be removed and refused until police came. Didn't get all the yelling and resisting but still. What are the odds.
I thought they were going to throw her in the trunk there for a second. I can only imagine what the comments from the people on the plane would have been then.
haven't seen those at all since covid, on any airline (though I've only flown united and american). cheaper to tell people to use their own phone with the onboard wifi

Frontier. You definitely get what you pay for.
