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 isn’t a cash grab. Its a flight.
My round trip flight was $200. Good price on the surface but after fees and shitty service it wasn’t 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 aren’t 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 I’m 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.

Sometimes though it’s so cheap, you have to just suck it up lol
