Flight was delayed by 2 hours, meaning that a flight to Dwnver which should have arrived at 11pm came into the airport at 1 am. Made for a very long day.

Great job! My family doesnt fly often but we felt safe 100%

Communication about the delayed flight was poor. We were told to move gates three times but that was bad information. We went from gate 128 to gate 126 and then to gate 123 and back to gate 126. Communication about the delay was bad. Ended up being 1 1/2 hour late getting home.

I have roller bag with food and medication told me I couldn't bring on my 2nd flight today. 15 years flying with SW never an issue with that bag.

Flight was delayed due to plane not passing inspection And one of the crew had to time out and we had to wait for another one A 3 hour delay

It was one and half hour late... Not sure if any other experience matters.

Flight crew and cabin crew were great. I had to rearrange flights because my original flight was 3hrs delayed for weather, the rub is the flight I moved to boarded on time then we sat at the gate for 2 hours because scheduling stole our first officer for another flight, TWICE. Then our actual FO was an hour delayed. To make it worse my original flight went from a 3 hour delay to departing 15min EARLY. Just poor scheduling operations all around.

It was 2 hours 45 minutes late, for no apparently clear reason.

Excellent. The lady boarding the flight was awesome. Very efficient, and she got everyone on line.

Planes never have enough leg room for someone my height so my knees were cramped and therefore started aching. Also, the Wi-Fi was down so I couldn't watch anything on my phone like I anticipated.

For the expense of first class, the seats could have been nicer and higher tier snacks would have been nice.

They delayed the flight 3 hours because it wasn't full they moved us to 5 different gates probably the worst airline ever not even spirit is this bad.

Crew was amazing, takeoff wonderful. The bathroom was disgusting from before takeoff the odor made the flight uncomfortable as you could smell the bathroom from the center of the plane where we were sitting. Smelled like raw sewage. My daughter was throwing up as we landed due to the smell and horrible turbulence as we approached Newark.

Packed flight, which makes it tough on crew and boarding staff (and the customers of course). But this was great boarding, clear instructions, etc. Traveling on the weekends are always fraught with danger as you have families and less frequent flyers thus more confusion. But this flight went as planned.

Boarded early, left early, arrived 40 mins early! A win win for me!

We had a delay, but thankfully I made it to my connection. Overall it went smooth

Airport terminal was outdated, flight was on a small jet with no wifi

Lately I like the planes have been exceptionally filthy. There’s lines of dust and dirt all across the ceiling in the vents, and the cracks in between the seats are literally full of food. It’s definitely not the quality of service that I was used to with United. I’m also very disappointed with the Wi-Fi! All I wanna do is knock out a few work jobs while I’m trapped in my seat And it spools so bad. They did provide me with a refund, but the process of getting that refund is so complicated. It’s unfortunate.

Short flight - no food understandable. Flight was delayed for over an hour. Overall, it was good.

We boarded and buckled and then deplaned due to no pilot. Had to wait over 3 hours for a new pilot. Not weather related, just poor management.

We were delayed three times ,and that destroyed my plans, and reservations

The reps working at the airport counter were dumber than a second coat of paint.

Delayed each time on a round trip with no significant weather interference. Updates to flight times came after the fact. 30 min behind in boarding and board and phone still show an on time departure. Some mysterious extra 300 miles that came so surprising they had to fuel while we were already on board?

Airline changed the gate from Terminal A to Terminal D which is quite far and only sent a text message few minutes before boarding. Around 50 people missed their flight and as plane didn’t wait for them.

Bad experience… crew are extremely strict with personal bags… they overcharge me coz my bag was one inch H

Well I mean u get what u pay for so 🤷‍♂️

I purchased a carry on bag online…was supposed to cost $72 but after a whole slew of bs charges, the total was over $175.00. Because of these hidden charges, I will not even consider flying Frontier ever again. It’s just not worth the hassle. I’m scratching this company off my list forever.

Plane was clean but they do not allow bag drop until 1 hour before flight. Just encouraging late fees and other issues. The worst I have experienced. Total hostage situation, pay or you miss your flight.

Everything was good, and most importantly on time. They have been extremely tardy in some of my flights

Flight delayed an hour. The turbulence was insane. Packed in like sardines. A coke was $4.95 no snack or a drink crazy
