Pros: "It was good"
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "everything 1st of all i didnt like the fact that the stuff could act so unprofessional and very disrespectful and not knowing what type of info to give that made me lose my flight and at the end they all told me they couldnt help me to get my flight or anything not even try.."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "That I couldn't reschedule due to the hurricane. I got stuck in Texas because of the hurricane. They didn't want to reschedule the flight because Denver was not apart of the affected area."
Pros: "Delta is the best--I sat in a comfy seat (middle seat at that) and watched 3 movies during my flight. Couldn't be better!"
Cons: "Wifi didn't work (network wouldn't show up)."

Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Excellent service"
Pros: "Upgrade to first class"
Pros: "I had to take a United flight last week for a short flight and once again I was reminded why I ALWAYS fly Delta if at all possible. United crew hid in the galley the whole trip wit lititle to no interaction with passengers. My flight today on Delta was great; food really excellent (Chicken Tika) and the crew was great as usual. Delta remains the best."
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "not enough leg room and space. The business class should be at the minimum for economy. My standard carry on luggage did not fit the over head compartment."
Pros: "The interior of this Boing 757-200 was New with a great entertainment system in the seat backs in economy, and the crew was free endlessly and attentive."
Cons: "The APU was inoperative, so the flight departure was delayed 40 minutes awaiting a ground start unit to get the engines going. It took,me some time to convince my fellow passengers that the loss of the APU was not a safety-of-flight issue. Also, a humongous passenger waddled down to our row and wedged herself into the window seat just before the doors closed. She immediately wanted to raise the seat divider, claiming that it was uncomfortable. The middle seat passenger insisted that she wanted to have it down, correctly pointing out that she had paid for a whole space. Despite the seat divider, the obese person's body oozed over and below into the middle seat during the flight, cramming the middle passenger. These folks Need to buy a second seat..."
Cons: "Announcements at the gate could be more clear."
Pros: "Clean aircraft, boarding area, and friendly flight crew."
Pros: "Never ever get economy fare! Getting a seat at he gate is a nightmare!"
Cons: "Seating assignment process. Length of time to talk to anyone at the gate. Pregnancy priority seating is impossible."
Cons: "We sat on-board the aircraft, at the gate, for almost 2 hours due to a weather delay. During this time, we were not offered refreshments, nor were we offered any type of "compensatory benefit" for our delay (e.g., free Wi-Fi, vouchers good toward a future flight (a $30 voucher per passenger would seem appropriate), additional SkyMiles (3000-5000 SkyMiles would seem appropriate), etc.)."
Cons: "Two overhead bins burst open during takeoff. it's pretty scared when luggage could potentially come flying at your face."
Pros: "Check in, gate, and plane staff all friendly and efficient. Plane clean and flight on time. Overhead space with full plane was no problem. Service inflight was quick and cheerful."
Cons: "Drop off in San Antonio always a mess. Traffic delays driving up to drop off. Security check 20 minute with no pre approval. Seats crowded. Snack choices predictable."
Pros: "The flight left on time and landed earlier than anticipated"
Cons: "The seats were narrow and very upright"
Pros: "Everything went very smoothly, I didn't eat anything but the snacks are fine. I don't think there is any "entertainment" unless you pay for it but that's okay."
Pros: "Staff as always was very attentive and courteous. The board process proceeded smoothly and we were able to depart a few minutes early."
Cons: "One attendant did display a slight level of un-professionalism after spilling a drink on my mom and not apologizing. I chalk it up to her embarrassment and she probably just forgot."
Pros: "Left on time and arrived 20 min early!! Free in-flight entertainment is a huge plus!"
Cons: "We were delayed one hour leaving Salt Lake due to mechanical failure. Otherwise, everything was great"

Pros: "Newer plane! Comfortable"
Cons: "Nothing just great"
Pros: "I had to hassle Delta going down because they did not precheck me. Blamed TSA. Called customer service when I checked in online and they got it done without a hassle."
Cons: "Economy seating is tight, uncomfortable, and my body was so cramped it was painful!"
Pros: "It was only 1.5 hr flight."
Cons: "Apparently Delta has decided even if you have a qualified KTN, they can arbitrary decide not to honor do you cannot precheck thru TSA. No way to input KTN at purchase on website and couldn't get it done at ticket counter. Thanks Delta"
Pros: "Good experience overall. Pleasant staff. Movie features were wonderful and helped pass the time."
Pros: "The crew was incredibly helpful assisting my last minute boarding needs. Staff was friendly and polite."

Cons: "The movie offerings & the snack offerings."
Pros: "Having status. Always on time. They run their schedules like European trains."
Pros: "Entertainment options"
Cons: "Delayed 3 hrs missed connecting flight waited 3 hrs for next one"
Pros: "We liked the personalized tv screens on the back of each chair that allowed us to watch free movies. The flight crew was very nice as well."
Cons: "We arrived at the gate early only to find out that they had changed our flight without telling us so we were almost an hour extra wait before leaving Vegas. Then that flight was delayed by about 30 minutes with no warning, just late!"
Pros: "Nonstop quick flight"
Cons: "Agents at the ticketing countet were the rudest i have ever encountered in my years of flying. Had a problem and when i asked for their assistance was given the Delta 800 number and told to call and they walked off. When i called it was a 2 hour wait for an agent. Thank goodness for their app as i was able to.change my flight with the My Delta app. Also they had overbooked the flight and rather than giving assurance to people just told us to wait and "line up orderly"."
Pros: "arrived early"
Pros: "The seat was a true misery."
Cons: "The airline, perhaps due mostly to the weather, repeatedly delayed and then cancelled my two flights. Even the next-day substitute flights were delayed. I was supposed to get to my destination at midnight, but I actually arrived one day and two hours later--at two in the morning. Got home at 4 am"
Pros: "Seats and legroom seem roomier than other airlines. Helps that seats don't recline."
Pros: "More leg room"
Cons: "Carry on baggage fees AND checked baggage fees. In all my trip with frontier ended up being more expensive that the competing airlines would have been. I may have been okay paying that for the extra leg room, but I would have rather known up front, not at check-in"
Cons: "The additional fees for everything."
Cons: "Seats sucked"
Cons: "I contacted Frontier about a week before my flight to let them know my friend I was flying to visit had to make an emergency trip to see her father who was dying of liver failure. On the first attempt I was notified that only immediate family members were would be an excuse but that I could try to request through a different faucet of emergency circumstances. I put through another request and was never contacted. I did not fly to Salt Lake but I was still charged even though they could very well have sold my seat to another person and made double the money for the seat. I am very disappointed with the service I received from Frontier."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "• Questionable luggage policy • Fees for carry on luggage • Fees for seat selection • Very, very uncomfortable seating • Plane smelled bad • Will not fly again"
Cons: "More delays this time for gas. Sat at gate for 45 minutes after boarding. Doubled flight time essentially. No fun at all."
Pros: "The safety of the flight, kindness of the attendants and the cleanliness of the plane."
Cons: "The hidden fees. I purchased a ticket not knowing that I would then have to pay for a seat! How ridiculous is that??? Did you expect I would hold on to a handle like on a subway??? If I purchase a ticket, I expect that to include a seat. Your ploy to attract people to purchase tickets, and then charge up the nose for even a seat as well as a carry on bag and peanuts, is not impressive. I will not purchase a ticket on Frontier again and I will definitely let my friends and family know that they will be paying just as much for Southwest if they do so. I'd rather know up front what the total charges will be. Very disappointed in this aspect of my purchase."
Pros: "The cheap fare."
Cons: "Paying for luggage that I carried on. Paying for every drink, except water. Paying for snacks."
Cons: "The seats are incredibly uncomfortable. They do not have a complimentary beverage service. The landing was rough and on top of all that they charge for every little thing. I had to pay $60 for a CARRY ON. I will NEVER fly with this airline again, and i recommend you spend the extra cash for an airline that actually cares about their costumers."
Cons: "Given a seat in row 4 which didn't recline- aghh!"
Cons: "I don't like that I have to pay $40 for carry on and $35 for checked bags. I don't llike that I have to pay for seat. With all the up charges, this ticket is more expensive than United, where all is included"
Cons: "plane 2 hours late. They charge for everything-even your seat"
Pros: "A BLIZZARD IN DENVER"
Cons: "ADVERTISED PRICE WAS BILLED AS "LOWEST FARE" AT $269.00 IT WAS THE LOWEST 1 WAY FLIGHT WITH A 41/2 LAY OVER IN DENVER TOTAL PRICE= SAME AND MORE THAN OTHER COMPANIES EXCEPT THAT OTHER COMPANIES WERE MORE HONEST ABOUT THEIR PRICES. FLIGHT BEING CANCELED DUE TO BLIZZARD WAS NOT FRONTIER'S FAULT, BUT SNEAKY HIDDEN CHARGES ARE! A BITTER-SWEET BLESSING! i GOT A REFUND FOR MY FLIGHT AND WILL TRAVEL NON STOP TO SLC ON ANOTHER AIRLINE AT LESS THAN HALF THE COST! LESSON LEARNED, CROSS FRONTIER AIRLINES OFF THE LIST!!!"
Cons: "3 hr layover. Again seats suck."
Cons: "The tray tables are so small it was impossible to use them. We never were even offered water and the cost for a simple soft drink or juice is overpriced. Things we expect and get from the airlines are not available on Frontier. Shame on you!!!"
Cons: "I didn't realize when I booked the fare that I would have to pay an addition amount for a seat on your plane. No wonder the fare looked like such a good deal! I hadn't flown Frontier before, so this was all new to me! You nickel and dime everyone for every little thing, such as baggage, a seat, any kind of refreshment on your flight. The flight I took was short and went fine, but I would not fly with your Arline to far off destinations! Thanks for the safe flight, but it was a one time purchase."
Pros: "When I got off"
Cons: "The entire flight"
Pros: "the plane was newer, with newer seats."
Cons: "No complaint on this flight"
Pros: "Crew was curtious"
Cons: "It was actually pretty scary to land immediately after takeoff. Didn't get an explanation for quit a while. Apparently the pilot noticed Low oil pressure after taking off. Isn't that something he should have checked before hand? It happens, but when a restaurant messes up your steak and has to bring you another one, you usually get it for free. Frontier did nothing to make it better. NOTHING"
Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice"
Cons: "I will not fly Frontier ever again because I don't like how they make you pay for every thing, a seat, carry on bags and even coffee. There's a lot of hidden fees. It's not worth it"
Cons: "Baggage charges are aweful and seat selection prices?"
Pros: "Actual flight was excellent. Boarding and fight crew professional, efficient and pleasant, Flight crew the same."
Cons: "Very confusing website. Only discovered fees for checked and carry on luggage after purchasing ticket. Real cost of flight is anywhere from $20-$90 more than price posted on travel sites."
Cons: "Frontier sucks. Dr"
Cons: "When I checked in, 16 hrs pre-flight, flight was WIDE open. I booked a $20 seat. Got on, flight packed. Asked to pay to upgrade my seat, I had to pay an ADDITIONAL $50 for an exit row & rec'd no credit for the seat I had originally purchased. Also, flight attendant Randall Stride was really liked to exercise his "power" as a steward. He was not very friendly."
Cons: "Frontier planes are fitted with the thinnest excuse of a seat that I have ever seen. I am a 5' 3" 115lb girl that has flown a lot. Seats nowadays are uncomfortable but frontier takes the cake. Seats were literally just an inch of plastic completely straight backed. I was so incredibly sore by the end of my 2 flights that I was holding back tears. They have an extra charge for everything including bags and soda. I will never fly frontier again."
Pros: "The attendants were very laid back and nice"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "There is almost nothing positive to say about the flight, bounding tolerable."
Cons: "I have flown almost 200 times and this the worst experience I have had. A pathetic display of ineptitude."
Cons: "Where do I begin? Frontier Airlines had us sit in the plane for four hours before cancelling. We pulled away from the gates three times and even deplaned for 15 minutes before they decided to cancel. Just cancel it after a few hours, please. And then when I called Frontier for options, I was told the next available flight was four days away (Jan. 2) and did not offer any other options. Very disappointed in Frontier Airlines. The process of booking through Kayak was good, but I will never fly with Frontier again."
Cons: "I will NEVER fly Frontier again! When I purchased my flight, there was NO mention of paying for carry-on OR checked bags. You have to pay for BOTH. Checking bags is cheaper but still, passengers shouldn't be charged AT ALL! We're already paying for the flight itself, aren't we?! The return flight was the most uncomfortable flight I've ever been on. The seats felt like they were hard steel wrapped in a thin pleather. You'd think that with all the unnecessary baggage fees, they could afford to give their passengers some kind of comfort for the flight. I guess not. Oh! You have to pay for EVERYTHING on the flight as well! Even water and soda! I can understand paying for alcoholic beverages, but that should be the ONLY item(s) you should have to pay for. As soon as that was announced, I put my headphones on and hoped the flight was over sooner than later. Never again! Thanks for raping my wallet, Frontier. :)"
Cons: "screwed by baggage fees"
Pros: "The price for the trip was great. I thought the boarding was efficient and the flight crew pleasant. Check in at the airport was very easy although the automatic machines were non functing."
Cons: "Long pre security screening lines. The seating is rather cramped."
Pros: "Flights were cheap."
Cons: "You end up paying an additional $30-35 to check a bag or carry on-board, you also end up paying $15-20 to reserve a seat. In addition, they won't accept your checked-in baggage if you're not at the airport 45 min before boarding to drop it off. They made me re-book my flight out of Chicago for the next day and charged me $99. I was only 5 min late to drop my bag off, and because of bad traffic. The airline has no empathy, they seem to be only concerned with charging you at every opportunity they get. I will never fly frontier again."
Pros: "crew was nice"
Cons: "didn't eat, no entertainment either."
Cons: "inflight everything requires payment."
Cons: "It is ridiculous all the fees they charge. What is your ticket paying for! You pay for the seat, luggage, drink everything! I will not be flying Frontier."
Pros: "Low initial fare"
Cons: "Apparently with frontier they charge you for everything including choosing a seat, any carry on bag bigger than a purse, pop, etc. They should disclose this up front!"
Cons: "I was charged $45 for my carry on. My bag was within the specs. they had on their website. I will never fly with them again."
Pros: "The pilot's skills...great take-off and landing, we arrived safely. I hope they get paid well. There was no garbage left from previous flight. I hope the cleaning crew gets paid well too. The pilot said we would probably experience a very turbulent ride due to the strong winds being experienced in that part of the country, but managed to get us there smoothly regardless."
Cons: "Paying for the 'used to be free food and drinks". What is with that???! It took my level of fun out of flying down a notch, and brought me back to the ever impending reality of the state-of-affairs- "it's all about the money". That is why I rated 'food' poorly since there was no "N/A" circle to choose. Same with entertainment. I sure miss smiling stewards."
Pros: "quick flight"
Cons: "They don't offer any snacks. Nothing to drink. Must buy everything. Can't bring stuff from outside, and get it through TSA."
Cons: "Seats very hard and nonreclining. Food was not readily offered. Was only a 1.5 hour flight so entertainment was unavailable."
Pros: "I like the leg room that I had and the crew all were wonderful."
Cons: "I don't like how this company nickel and dimes you. You pay a low rate only to be slapped with a seating fee when you check in for your flight. Then ofcourse the ridiculous nature of charging for a carry on bag."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "Several delays. Some mechanical which is understable but I don't think I have ever taken a Frontier flight that has boarded on time. The other delays had no explanantion and several people on the flight had connecting flights. Denver airport often has weather delays but this day was sunny and clear!"
Pros: "Cheap and efficient. Seats are more comfortable / roomier than I remember."
Cons: "Don't forget with Frontier you pay extra for anything / everything."
Pros: "Fast and efficient"
Cons: "Being by the turbine sucked."
Pros: "Short flight"
Cons: "New seats suck & no tv option"
Cons: "See statement above."
