Pros: "Selection of entertainment on a BYO-device was good, especially in the movies category"
Cons: "Weather-related delay is certainly not Alaska’s fault, but the 10-minutes waiting for a gate after landing was excruciating after such a long delay in the first place"

Also I specifically picked a seat in the last row when i bought my ticket. When i got to the gate the agent took my ticket and crossed off the seat I chose online. She wrote in seat 17B because they gave me seat away without asking me."
Pros: "I missed my initial flight to Portland and people with Alaska immediately booked me for the next flight out. It was incredibly reassuring to have their help and patience.

There were a lot of stairs to get off the plane and then walk back to terminal and then a lot of stairs were there to get back to terminal.

Pros: "Inflight entertainment was the best I’ve seen in coach. Free games, movies, moving map, etc."
Cons: "The seating is too cramped. It has just gone past what is reasonable. Seems too tight on both the knees and elbow room."
Pros: "Nothing special"
Cons: "That was the most uncomfortable and cramped seat I had ever had on a plane flight. Even sitting on the pillow did not help."
Pros: "I like that I arrived at my destination safely."
Cons: "My allergies were bothering me due to the airlines allowing animals to travel as passengers, in this case a rabbit. I am very allergic to animals. My breathing was compromised."
Pros: "This had one of the best attendants I have encountered. She was extra friendly and made us feel good."
Pros: "Seat was decent and only a $10 upgrade. Worth it!"
Cons: "Wasn’t clear what boarding group was up. I don’t usually fly delta so maybe I’m just not used to the system but something on the video screen at the gate saying where they were in boarding would have helped. I wasn’t the only one that seemed lost."
Pros: "The Crew on this flight was great and the flight was quick."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 3+ hours and Delta kept pushing the delay out further without giving any updates as to why it was so delayed, and when I inquired at the Delta desk at the gate the woman was very rude to me as she snipped that it was a mechanical issue."
Pros: "The crew was absolutely amazing!! So kind and helpful! The captain also took a beautiful path around Rainier during a gorgeous sunrise!! The seats were very comfortable and the flight was smooth even though it was a smaller plane (Skywest). I will absolutely fly Skywest again!"

Pros: "Everything was on time and efficient. I also liked that the captain came on and updated us on arrival, turbulence, weather, etc."
Cons: "Flight was delayed out of St. Louis causing several of us to miss our connecting flight from Salt Lake City to Portland. Delta was of very little help in assisting us in making a connecting flight. They could have at least helped with travel arrangements and provided us with a little food, a pillow and a blanket as we waited in their terminal for the next flight on their airline which was a several hour wait. I understand these things happen but the passengers didn't cause the problem and Delta needs to take care of people better if they expect to earn repeat business."
Pros: "The crew was nice."
Cons: "This was an older, smaller plane and it had more leg room. Appears I’ll have to start checking Delta to see what birds flying the leg."
Pros: "This was our first time flying Delta and it was a very pleasurable experience. Boarding was very straight forward and the seats allocated comfortable. A surprise for us was being asked if we would like to move seats from the back of the aircraft to Comfort Economy (we think it was to do with weight balance! but appreciated very much none the less). The flight attendants were very professional and helpful, as you would hope all attendants on all airlines would be. We'd gladly fly Delta again anytime."
Cons: "Ac not working at last 30 minutes of flight."
Pros: "On time leaving and landing"
Cons: "Every thing went well"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "We lost our whole vacation and had to pay for the plans fare twice because My last name was spelled wrong on our tickets and we were unable to use them because my passport didn’t match the name on the ticket. We had to rebook everything pay almost twice as much for the plane fare, our Lodi g cost more and our trip was delayed for two weeks. Vyama is blaming us for spelling our name wrong and claimes that it’s our fault this happened because everything is automated. There saying they don’t touch anything that we enter into the booking but somehow everything they claim we entered is now in all capital letters and the space between our first name and middle name is now gone and all run together. The coustomer service number gets you to someone in India. I have tried to get this addressed four times now at first they tried to place the responsibility on the airlines now us and they have hung up on me twice. Kayak has been worthless, they also just pass the responsibility on to someone else. We will never use them again ant I intend to make sure that this mess is put out in social media to hopefully keep others from having their travel plans ruined by their flawed system."
Cons: "They changed my flight to a different one departing 2 hours earlier and did not notify me! The original flight was still available & they would not let me take it despite my reservation paper work. CRAZY! I have a two hour drive to the airport this gave me the option to leave home at 2:30am or go the night before and pay for a hotel. Flight was managed by DELTA who also did not care! All involved blamed each other. Beware"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled"
Pros: "Flight was on a 787! Great plane"
Cons: "Food was mediocre for an international long haul fight, and was served by a completely indifferent staff! My prearranged seat choices were switched to a no recline rows and rebooking after a unnecessarily missed connection became 7 step comedy of errors ,aside from quality aircraft this felt like a budget operation."
Pros: "SLC ground gate crew was awesome."
Pros: "In flight movies"
Cons: "The flight was 3 hours late taking off which made us miss our connection to chicago so we are stuck in Atlanta tonight with unplanned expenses we were not planning on!"
Pros: "Everything from the check-in to the landing was great. We were well informed about what was going on with out luggage (we were on a regional flight) and the assortment of free snacks were superb! I guess I'll be a returning customer"
Cons: "I was expecting some form of entertainment (radio, overhead monitor, etc) on the CRJ700. But it really don't take away from the experience since T-Mobile partnered with the Wi-Fi service and I received a free hour of Wi-Fi!"
Pros: "The crew was very cheerful"
Cons: "No entertainment and uncomfortable seats (at least for trying to take a nap)"
Cons: "My flight got to New York so late!!!! I missed my international flight."
Cons: "Not great communication from gate or staff on board. Failed to provide adequate water. No ice on super warm flight. Just bad experience overall."

Cons: "I waited almost 6 hours on the phone the night before the flight to get on standby! Almost didn't get the flight! Was charged $50 only to not get on my next flight because it was over booked! Flight attendant was very rude!"
Pros: "I liked that I was able to get able to get an earlier flight!"
Cons: "I don't like that I had to pay $50 extra dollars for standby on both legs of my flight! I am a very loyal delta customer and these past times flying I feel like my favorite airline is turning into the bad airlines delay everytime, problems with the plane fare prices too high! I'm starting to think about taking my business elsewhere!"
Pros: "10 minutes early departure"
Cons: "There isn't enough seats in the gate area and sitting on the runway for 10 extra minutes we could have been early"
Pros: "Very kind folks in the airport and on the flight. That is always the best thing."

Cons: "N.A"
Pros: "The fight was delayed but they gave us complimentary drinks on the flight. Nice."
Pros: "On time flight. Comfort seats"
Pros: "The gate agents were friendly and made the boarding process quick."
Cons: "This was my connecting flight, and also left late. I can't really rate the crew on either flight, because I didn't see them. It's also impossible for me to rate the food/beverage service, because there was none. I spent over 3 hours on planes, and no beverage service was provided. If you have connecting flights, are flying for business, or don't pack your own refreshments assuming that something standard services will be, well, standard, Delta is probably not who you want to fly with. I work in the industry and sm usually not this brutally honest, but the whole trip was pretty disappointing."
Cons: "Terrible logistics. Stuck on tarmac because they couldn’t clear the previous plane out of the gate. Fellow passengers missed their connecting flights."
Cons: "Delayed 1.5 hours each way for maintenance, did not allow us to switch seats to sit together previously at flight and the flight was very empty. Very uncomfortable seats. Will not fly AA again"
Cons: "First time we have flown First Class on American Airlines and service was outstanding and perfect! Thank you for an amazing experience!!"
Cons: "Too small of a plane for that long a flight. Cabin was too damn hot."
Cons: "When the delayed flight landed, the crew should help expedite those connecting to other flights. They should announce our connecting gates so that we don’t have to look it up."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Handicap issues. We were exiting on the tarmac in Charlotte- all crew left us on the plane waiting for assistance to get off. Finally when someone showed they would not come up the ramo to get my Mom. I backed her down myself while 5 bewildered airport workers looked confused."
Cons: "2 hour delays on both flights of a round trip"
Cons: "4 hour plane availability delay - of course planned on weather but not planning"
Pros: "You got us there safely."
Cons: "Not sure who is at fault for running out of de-ice solution, but keeping us sitting on the tarmac without air ventilation for almost 3 hours... with only an apology and a last minute glass of water? that was terrible customer service."
Pros: "Flight left St. Louis on time,"
Cons: "My connecting flight was cancelled while I was in the air. Customer service was SWAMPED with cancellations with only a handful of staff to help. My plane was a mechanical cancellation so I received a food and hotel voucher. Trying to get another flight from LaGuardia to YYZ was horrible."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Having to walk from concourse b to concourse e for my connecting flight in less than 15min before the doors were shut. Was literally in my seat for 5min and the door was shut. Most people (older or families) would have missed it. Shame on CLT or American Airlines"
Pros: "Flight did not take place because of cancelled return flight. the whole itinerary was cancelled."
Cons: "because of cancelled flight I had to schedule a new itinerary directly through American Airlines. The cost increased from $947.50 to $1,873 plus airport parking for 17 days."
Pros: "On time. Friendly and attentive staff."
Pros: "They got me there on time"
Cons: "Long delay getting off STL-CLT. Made it to gate for CLT-ROC. Then, crew delay. The usual crammed interior, cheap snacks, feeling about like a public bus"

Pros: "Its Alaska. Nothing more to say. My preferred airline and never had a bad flight."
Cons: "The usual. More legroom would be good. That's about it."
Cons: "You pay extra to get the TSA Full background check, so you can breeze through TSA, with PreCheck, yet this Airline has a problem with recognizing it. 3 phone calls layer and a Visit to their Costumer Serice Desk, and none of them can figure it out. Uhg again."
Pros: "To be fair. The flight is only 50 minutes. By th time you get a drink it's time to land. It is completely unfair to the staff to have to do that. A flight like that. Have a box with a snack and some coolers that have 5 different beverages. I wouldn't even sell booze. I person can hold out for a flight that shot to get one on the connection or in the terminal."
Cons: "It's always a cramped flight. Nothing to be done except use a bigger, more spacious plane. The good thing is it's the fastest way to get to Chicago from where I lived it would take 6hrs by car."
Pros: "Spacious seats"
Pros: "I was so happy I could check in online and boarding was a breeze. I actually got to sit by the window when my original seat was in the middle. So nice of the ladies to suggest it to me."

Pros: "A nonstop flight, with a friendly efficient crew, met my expectations. A crew member went above and beyond when I asked for a coffee stirrer with my coke and ice."

Pros: "The entertainment"
Cons: "There was nowhere to stow my purse and things i wanted to use during flight near me, my luggage got lost"
Cons: "Flight was late, got a message from Kayak that it was delayed 3 hours...thank goodness I happened to check again, because then it was only delayed for 41 mins, then it gave me an update that it was only 21 mins delayed, then went back to 41! Pretty inconvenient, and it would have been nice to get a text, not just some silent pop up"
Cons: "Delayed a total of four hous!"
Pros: "Flight was on time, staff was friendly and boarding was organized."

Cons: "You better get rid of basic economy."
Pros: "No delay, friendly crew"
Pros: "Boarding was fine, no delays. Crew was nice, no complaints there! I had an empty seat next to me, so could stretch out. Luckily I brought a blanket with me, since I know from previous experience it's always too cold on planes."
Cons: "The entertainment didn't work on my iPad or my iPhone. I kept getting an error. Also, the WIFI is way too expensive."
Pros: "Associates were nice and knowledgeable. The airplanes were comfortable. Love the onetime performance of scheduling."

Pros: "Snacks and drink"
Cons: "Average"
Pros: "Flight was on time."
Cons: "Seats are uncomfortable and cramped."
Cons: "The pilot's landing was way too fast. I was sure that the plane would come to a stop in Hwy 280 at the end of the Asheville runway. That plane probably needed a major brake job after that landing. We ended up at the absolute very end of the runway!"
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Wi-Fi charge sucks and leg room"
Pros: "Wasn't thrown off"
Cons: "Another delayed flight with United"
Cons: "They might as well have thrown us in a car trunk the crew was very unaccommodating they didn't really care about us and the room legroom is ridiculously smal. On the connecting flight, the last flight the plane was two thirds empty and the crew made us sit in our assigned seats, crammed together telling us that if we want to sit in a seat with more legroom we have to pay $180"
Cons: "Too many seats too close together. The entire trip was too hot and stuffy. The flight attendants showed minimal care about the uncomfortable hot and stuffy environment."
Cons: "The United mobile app as well as my emails stated that the gate was B3. Upon arriving at gate B3 and attempting to board, I was alerted that I was at the incorrect gate. The gate was switched to C11. However, my app did not alert me nore did it reflect the gate change. I didn't receive a text or email update. I had to run to the different concourse nearly missing the fling."

Pros: "See above."
Pros: "Crew was lovely."
Cons: "Seats BARELY reclined, and leg room was minimal. The whole flight was very uncomfortable even for someone who's only 5'3" who flys regularly. Also, no in flight entertainment for a long flight. Total fail."
Pros: "We'll coordinated."
Cons: "The seats were terribly uncomfortable (including her flight to Chicago). The cushion made me slide down the seat and could not get comfortable."
Pros: "My flight in was smooth, seamless and amazing. The crew was so lovely."
Cons: "My flight out was a shot show that included a four hour delay and frantic running to gate changes. The staff was very unhelpful. The snack was awful."
Cons: "I went on this trip as an veterinary humanitarian out reach. I was also guardian to one high school student so that she might have an experience of such to guild her future. Her flight was missed booked to leave after mine, I attempted to rebook my flight with Luthansia but they would not let me me even partial rebook. I attempted a number of times to rebook the flight but their solution was extreme financial gain for them when more reasonable alternative could have been arranged. They canceled my entire return flight and left me stranded. I had to piece together a return flight on a shoe string budget. Thankfully American Airlines was understanding for it appears Luthansia and United are not."
Cons: "I am Asian who was not allowed using restroom located in the front of airplane close to the 1st class cabin, but people sit next to me can. I feel insulted."
Pros: "In flight entertainment worked. Staff was friendly."
Cons: "I had no issue with the delay, things happen. I was dealing with a knee injury and the gate plan had us all over the airport. It was quite frustrating to get to a gate in another terminal only to get told we were being moved back to the terminal we had just come from! Then that gate was changed again, involving another long walk on said bad knee!"
Pros: "The promptness on the flight -the friendly crew - arriving on time means the most, also the flight itself was smooth"
Cons: "There were no ticketing agents at the gate adding an hour to the flight."
Cons: "2.5 hour delay. No working bathrooms. Couldn't hear the tv and headphones that they gave out were useless."
Pros: "The crew was awesome and the flight wasn't bad at all"
Cons: "It was suggested that I didn't bring my carry on with me so I left it to be voluntarily checked and it came back ripped"
Pros: "Over all it was a great flight aside from the rain delay but that's Mother Nature for you"
Cons: "Flight was delayed due to severl technical issues. Crew at least offer free drinks or snacks for the five hour delay."
Pros: "Nice clean planes and seat, on time performance"
Cons: "The flight attendant was hard to understand"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I was angry that I had to fly to Houston before heading to Phoenix which made my arrival in AZ much later than I had planned. My flight had been rescheduled since I missed my flight the night before because the first flight had been delayed. So the new flight was a longer trip because of the extra layover. The overall flight was a mess."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Multiple delays and gate changes; chaotic boarding; shabby plane condition (bathroom looked held together with duct tape)."
Pros: "Nice crew and boarding staff. The plane was repaired rather than the flight being cancelled."
Cons: "No airconditioning on the ground so the extra time on the tarmac was very uncomfortable. While taxiing, a screen went blank, so the plane returned to the terminal, deplaned, and there was a two hour delay for the repair."
Pros: "Tons of food and water. Movies good. Staff on plane were excellent. Clean bathrooms and peacful. Nice that headphones were provided."
Cons: "Seats should not be set to go back so far, if a person in front sets back all way, no space passenger behind. The seats should be calibrated to go back less of an angle."
Cons: "Some inspector idiot decided that the exterior cover stickers weren't "up to code" literally half an hour before my flight, delaying us 2 hours. I got onto a different flight at the last second, then the same thing happened to that plane. Brilliant on their parts. I almost lost a job interview thanks to your people."
Cons: "Boarding went quickly but then waited almost 35 minutes on the plane to take off. Once the plane landed there was again a wait to pull into the gate. Spent more time waiting on the plane than the flight itself."
Cons: "Staff could be friendlier"
Pros: "Cost of flight."
Cons: "The seats in a A320/321 are not adjustable. A much longer flight then a couple of hours would be tuff."
Pros: "The crew was great. The flight was smooth and comfortable. I paid $25 extra for extra legroom and closer to the front... and an aisle seat. It was totally worth it."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 2 plus hours."
Cons: "We waited in line at the check in counter for an hour and a half. There were only two people working and probably 300 people in line. Then going through TSS....took about 30 min....we had to RUN just to catch our flight. Even though we were there almost 2 1/2 hours early. Made for a very stressful start"
Pros: "Direct flight"
Cons: "Not really a negative thing to say"
Pros: "Went exactly as described"
Pros: "The staff was a well oiled machine! Very funny & accommodating. They were all very friendly & helpful to all of the passengers. Everything was clean & orderly."
Pros: "Got me where I needed to go."
Cons: "I didn't realize Frontier has taken up the Spirit model. No wifi, no screen, seats do not recline, which is probably good since you only have a few inches of leg room. I didn't even have enough room to open my laptop. Last time I will be using Frontier, I suspect my baggage had more room in cargo."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The flight from St. Louis to Orlando was delayed therefore the flight from Orlando to San Juan was also delayed and I was not given a chance to go home. My only option was to receive a $20 meal voucher and wait in the airport another 24 hours. The staff was rude and there was no communication between one flight crew to the next. Worst experience ever and I'll make sure to tell all my friends and relatives never to use your airline."
Pros: "The crew was wonderful"
Cons: "In one weekend had two flights that were very delayed. Plus the return Orlando flight the cabin pressure was not regulated very well."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Our flight was delayed by 2 1/2 hours and then we boarded & had to wait another hour. It messed up our plans & took 4 hours away from our quick trip to visit family. We got a $25 voucher but I really doubt we will ever use them."
Pros: "Started with the nickel and diming during check in. The app wouldn't take my card so I had get on the website. Apparently buying the ticket doesn't give you a seat, you have to pay extra for that. Taking more than a laptop bag or purse, that's extra. Right there, your low fare is shot to h#ll. Definitely check the hidden costs before booking. Then came a 5 hour delay of the flight, apparently the plane had mechanical issues at it's previous stop. Frontier provided $10 meal vouchers, which doesn't go far in an airport. Seats don't recline at all and you feel like you're in a cattle car. The seat back tray is about 6" and doesn't hold much. The combination of turbulence and a pilot yanking the plane around during landing brought out the air sick bags by several passengers around me. Then on the ground, he was racing around and taking turns like an Indy500 race car. I seriously thought he was going to do a handbrake turn into the parking spot. Frontier provided vouchers worth $100 per ticket for the flight, but only good for another Frontier flight. I don't think so..."
Cons: "Several hidden costs. Uncomfortable seats Rough landing"
Pros: "Overall good flight."
Cons: "I’m tall so comfort is not an option unless I want to pay for it. No food unless I want to pay for it. No entertainment unless I want to bring it."
Pros: "The staff was wonderful. Great people with great personality."
Cons: "Everything from getting on the plane was not only difficult, but uncomfortable, and with a lack of detail towards the customer. From the small tables at knee level, to the chair angle, this entire experience was either wrought with an inability to sit easily and definitely was painful every time I needed to move."
Pros: "Friendly staff."
Cons: "Unaware of check luggage cut off"
Pros: "1 star, not applicable (didn't get food/drink), no entertainment. Flight was very early so that was nice!"
Cons: "Scented air not the same scent throughout."
Pros: "The leg room was very good. The flight was right on time! The plane was neat and clean. The price was the best. Nice crew."
Cons: "I'd have liked a drink and a snack since the Starbucks next to the site was so slow I stood in line 1/2 hour and left without getting to the counter for coffee! Doesn't everyone take luggage - just add it to the ticket price so one can know the actual cost."
Cons: "Got here early, sat on runway for 20 minutes before a gate was available which put us in at the actual time. Then had to wait another 20-30 minutes for bags at baggage claim area."
Cons: "That we have to pay for soda.....all the other airlines have free soft drinks. And I don't like paying for a carry on bag."
Pros: "That the staff was really friendly."
Pros: "Excellent price and an overall smooth process. The Frontier app has gotten a lot better and I'd like to continue seeing improvements."
Cons: "For the price you can't really complain, but it'd be nice if pretzels were handed out for free and maybe have a few magazines in the seat backs. A few small improvements would go a long way."
Cons: "Carry on fee is a rip off and fairly well hidden added expense. Other carriers, like Spirit, that charge fees are very up front about it and are generally much cheaper flights to begin with. Crew was nice. But plane was over booked and jam packed."
Cons: "I will never again fly frontier. Terrible customer service. They know it and they don't care. Their philosophy is well we are so cheap it doesn't matter what we do to customers they will still fly with us. Well not me. Frontier you have lost my business forever"
Pros: "I guess you still what you pay for"
Cons: "We boarded our plane at like 3:20-30 and we did not leave till after 5:15... ridiculous. delay after delay and no complimentary anything just a bunch of we are sorry's. It made me late for most of my evening in Denver so not a very happy customer"
Pros: "not much"
Cons: "I have been more comfortable on church basement folding chairs that the seats on Frontier. I did pay to move to seat 1A, and it still felt like a torture device."
Pros: "good communication about short delay"
Cons: "seats are really uncomfortable!"
Pros: "Quick, reasonably comfortable flight, however....."
Cons: "This was the 12:30am red-eye from Las Vegas to St. Louis. Flight was delayed until 2:20am. Fine, flights get delayed all the time. It is worse when everything in the airport to kill time is shut down, but I digress. Then the plane comes in around 2am, everyone on the flight gets off, then the announcement comes that they don't have a crew for our flight now, and we will have to wait until 9am for the next flight. Whoopsies! This is no longer a delay -- this is a major F-up by Frontier that affected dozens of already very weary customers (the staff admitted to it being a flub). Once boarded, people complained, as you'd expect, and one stewardess responded "Well, you can pay $400 with somebody else, or pay under $100 here." THAT was your response?? She was stating a fact, I realize this, but that was the wrong answer at the wrong time, lady. I know you get what you pay for, but my expectations don't go completely out the window. And don't be proud to be a F-up airline that merely exists on its price point. It's one thing to be one, it's another thing to wave a flag about it. And the cherry on top is what Frontier did to make it right. Another steward on the plane explained how rare this phenomenon is that we just experienced. Well if it really is rare, and inconveniences their customers to this degree, you would expect them to take strong measures to make it right, no? Any restaurant would, a car rental would, etc, if it was such a rare mistake. What did Frontier do? $7 breakfast voucher. Just punch us in the face next time. There are people that have powered through your barely-existent customer service, and those "gotcha" fees that first-time customers run into (at least Frontier hopes they do), and still liked your airline. Then you go and do something to drive even us loyals away. All you had to do was do what airlines run by thoughtful human beings do and issue flight vouchers during this rare mistake, and it would have been a microscopic write-off. Instead -- face punch, and "justification" behind it of all things. Unreal Frontier, even for you."
Pros: "The price!"
Cons: "Everything costs extra,"
Pros: "On time, enough room in seats and seat belts weren't too tight. My fight attendant gave me hot water with lemon upon request at no charge. (I had a cough. )"
Cons: "Lightening storm on the flight to St. Louis caused an hour delay awaiting our luggage. I brought my own food, knowing you have to pay extra for that."
Pros: "Price Crew was very polite"
Cons: "The boarding was very unorganized. When I got to my seat, a pre-boarder had already taken my spot and was very rude about it. Since I had to sit at another seat and take another person's spot, there was a lot of confusion going on. Upon arrival to the destination, they made us sit down again for 20 minutes because they "had to re-accommodate the plane" and they never even moved the aircraft. Never again, it's worth paying extra at other airlines."
Pros: "Kind, helpful, clean, friendly."
Cons: "I'm small and I still think there's just not quite enough room for each passenger spot. Sure, you can buy a seat with more room, but everyone can't. There's just not enough seats that give enough butt and leg room."
Pros: "Cheap last minute flight"
Cons: "They charge you for everything! Carry on bag, checked bag, picking your seat even refreshments costs you money! The seats DO NOT recline at all! It was a very uncomfortable ride. Unless it is a true emergency, I won't fly Frontier again."
Cons: "Flight delayed an hour"
Pros: "The plane left on time and we arrived in Denver ahead of schedule."
Cons: "We arrived in Denver ahead of schedule and then sat on the tarmac for 50 minutes before de-boarding. There was a $30 charge for a checked bag. You had to pay for any snacks. There was no entertainment."
Pros: "The folks at security check were attempting to add humor while keeping the lines moving."
Cons: "The guy who took our checked bag had no personality. He never even looked at us."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and nice"
Cons: "No entertainment and need better bag policies with prices"
Pros: "Cost of flight that's it!"
Cons: "Had to do add ons such as , seat, bags and even a soda , may have been same cost on another airline ."
Pros: "Frontier staff tried their best to keep people in good spirits..."
Cons: "2 hour delay, I was freezing cold on the plane and the attendant said that they didn't have blankets. They pushed the alcohol sales and we were not even offered a bag of peanuts."
Cons: "This was a joke they charge $40 for check in and $45 for carrry on luggage, i have flown for years and never encountered anything like that. Now i have to pay the same thing going back, my ticket just raised $170. Never again will i fly Frontier."
Pros: "Pricing was excellent."
Cons: "Seats were not very comfortable."
Pros: "Free baggage for military"
Cons: "Loud announcing and not classy attempts to upsell us during the flight"
Pros: "Worse than Southwest Airlines. Uncomfortable."
Cons: "Uncomfortable seats and crew didn't smile much."
Pros: "The rates were less expensive so I guess you get what you pay for, but at the gate bag check was 40 per bag, I was expecting more in the realm of 25. (Yes I know I should have checked online) then we get to the gate and the fight was over booked and delayed. When we tried to communicate with the staff about questions pertaining to connecting flights they seemed unable/ unwilling to help. Overall not worth the discounted rate."
Cons: "I really think the baggage fee is way over the top. And perhaps a little customer service training for your people"
Pros: "I like the personality of the flight attendants and the newness of the aircraft. Also we arrived 30 mins early"
Cons: "The new seats didnt recline and im 6ft so the too if the seat was a bit short and the bottom lacked in cushion"
Cons: "The flight was delayed and the airline charges for everything. They tried to charge me for my CARRYON bag which is hilarious, and I proceeded to say I would not pay that charge. The attendant let me board the plane anyway and I put my carryon in the overhead without an issue, which deeply concerns me. It seems as if Frontier arbitrarily tacks on that charge, tricking their customers like con artists who will fall for this absurdity. The air conditioning did not work well and they almost forgot to give us water. Maybe they even charged for the water. The attendants were rude. Dont fly Frontier unless you really really really need to save a dime or two."
Pros: "This was my first flight on Frontier Airlines and I had set my expectations very low because the airfare was so low. The plane was spacious, very clean on the inside, the seats were very comfortable, and the staff was very friendly."
Cons: "I have no negative comments."
Pros: "I loved everyone's positive and comical attitude! I've never seen so much positivity and fun from and airline staff before! Because of this, I truly enjoyed flying with Frontier and will keep flying with them. Great prices and even better customer service! Thank you!"
Cons: "It costs to carry on a bag on Frontier. When booking the flight we were looking for a reasonable price which we found with frontier, not reading the fine print they charged us for carry on bags. We ended up checking bags which cost us another $140. Along with this frustration, the seats are horribly uncomfortable and the amount of leg room is ridiculous. I understand maximizing out seats but this was way over the top. I will not be flying Frontier again"
Pros: "The Flight was on time and the staff was nice"
Cons: "I seats seem to be smaller in size so the comfort was not as good. You have to pay for everything on the plane. This was my 1st time taking frontier so I was sure we would get complimentary snacks but that was not the case. There was no WIFI and no option to purchase it either. Overall, the Frontier was Okay."
Cons: "The flight may be inexpensive, but the add on costs to book a seat and carry on a bag were ridiculous. Also, I didn't like that there wasn't a complimentary food or drink item. The line to check my bag was also extremely long and slow and they should have had more staff working."
