Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
Pros: "On time reliable."
Cons: "The check in/bag drop process is terrible. Took 45 min. No explanation. No help."
Cons: "First time on Frontier, not a bad experience even though some of the comforts are not there. But the price is good if you need no frills"
Pros: "Prompt, professional, and smooth landing. Very friendly staff"
Cons: "Great flight, boarding in Newark on Saturday, a nightmare getting through long security line."
Pros: "Nothing. Maybe the leg room."
Cons: "Everything. Delayed due to frontier poor logistics. Bad updates by staff (ie none), rude gate attendants and rude flight attendants throughout. We did make it an hour late and bags arrived but this felt like a banana republic airline."
Cons: "No entertainment or food, the worst plan ride ever"
Pros: "Not a thing"
Cons: "The flight was cancelled. We were never notified ( in fact it was still available on Kayak after it was cancelled. They had all of our contact info. No other flights on the same day. They sent 2 100 dollar vouchers we will Never use. Worst ever. Never have experienced this and will NEVER recommend"
Pros: "3 hours delay lot issues"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled"
Pros: "Pretty much smooth flight"
Cons: "Have to pay $2.99 for can of soda"
Pros: "it was everything i expected it to be - minus a few details, but all in all, you get what you pay for. For the price point, it was def a better experience than Spirit which is important. They might not be my first choice but its fair and comfortable enough."
Cons: "i sat a few rows from the back of the plane and the bathroom had a permeant musty smell as if it was old and gross. the flight was about two hours and the flight attendants never asked me what I wanted as my complimentary drink - i thought that was kinda crappy."
Cons: "No on flight entertainment, which is a pain when it’s more than a five hour flight. Nothing was complimentary, a snack, drink, even a pillow. My seat didn’t recline and I wasn’t an exit row or in front of one or near a bulkhead. Weird. Paying for a carry-on is a pain too. Won’t fly Frontier again."
Pros: "I was having a terrible migraine and one of the female on flight staff directed me to open seats where I could lay down. She also provided me with lots of water and a bag of ice!"
Pros: "Got to vegas"
Cons: "The guy 16 rows behind me was wearing cordory pants."
Pros: "I didn't like anything about this flight company"
Cons: "In fact that I paid $400 dollars for the ticket I had to pay extra $45 for carry on. Sits are very uncomfortable I felt like I was on the bus plus I wanted coffee I had to pay more money. It's not cheap flight at all I will try not to flight Frontier again."
Pros: "new and clean airline and was in timely manner"
Cons: "The flight was delayed for more than three hours. And it was really cold in the airplane. The most uncomfortable and awful flight I've ever had."
Pros: "Price"
Cons: "Timeliness"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Cons: "Delay"
Pros: "Everything, hadn't flown since the twin towers fell, had no "real" problems in going through security and the Frontier people and equipment performed as expected."
Cons: "Not a thing, I realize this is probably not normal, but it was as perfect a trip as we could've asked for."
Pros: "Very friendly, courteous staff at both airports and on the planes"
Cons: "Baggage cost"
Pros: "Boarding and getting off the plane was very smooth. Also the pilot did a great job with take off and landing was so smooth I was impressed."
Cons: "I didn't like that they didn't offer any snacks or drinks other than water complimentary. I mean a soft drink shouldn't run someone four dollars after paying for a ticket. Other than that it was a nice flight."
Pros: "I liked that it was a non-stop flight."
Cons: "Being charged $40 to bring a carry on bag with my clothing for the week should not be an extra fee. Charging $3 for a soda and $4 snacks. I'm glad I brought my own booze and snacks and just ate them on the plane. I hated that I couldn't put my seat back."
Cons: "You send e-mail notices to me but I cannot access e-mail away from home as I am not into smart gadgets. I checked at home for flight status but by the time I drove 70 minutes to the airport, the flight was delayed, and delayed, and delayed. Once at Denver, we sat on the tarmac for 4 1/2 hours waiting for a gate. Southwest deplaned people on the tarmac. Once at the gate, we had to wait another 15 min for a jetway operator and someone to operate the TUG/generator. And my consolation prize was a 4 oz cup of water. YIPPEE!!"
Cons: "They cancelled the flight. Then an hour or so after the intended departure time they informed everyone of the cancellation. Which made it more difficult to get alternative flights."
Pros: "The flight was fine"
Cons: "However, there are hidden costs, carry on baggage fees, fees for your seat assignment, etc. that quickly ballooned the price of the ticket by $180 ($90 each way). There was a very long line for baggage drop therefore we still had to wait even though we pre-checked and prepaid on line the night before departing."
Pros: "Nothing the plane never came."
Cons: "If you're in the mood to arrive at the airport at 5 o'clock in the morning and then circle jerk for 12 hours only for them to tell you at the end of the day that they cancelled the flight due to too many customers demanding a refund… Feel free to fly Frontier. They delayed the flight hour by hour keeping us hopeful all day. Never fly with frontier. Book with kayak, but not for Frontier, unless blowing a whole day in the airport is your thing. They have ZERO loyalty to their customers and don't think for a second that they will accommodate you for the return value of the flight to book another flight the next day. They will refund the 3-month-in-advance cost of $160, but that $320 ticket the next day will be on you."
Pros: "Not much. They charge for everything...even water."
Cons: "The fact that they nickel and dime you the whole flight experience...carry-ons cost more than checked bags...really so now I have to wait for my bags or pay extra to save 15 mins...that's dumb."
Pros: "The staff was excellent! The most friendliest I've ever seen. A very smooth flight."
Pros: "I had to cancel my trip plans and went to cancel and found out that not only would I not get a refund on the flight but I also was not going to be able to get a refund on the seat selection. Front tier has nickeled and dimed me to a degree that I would never Fly them ever."
Cons: "They have a low flight charge but then you have to pay for everything else that you want. You have to pay even for carry-on baggage. You have to pay for any seat selection other than in the back of the plane. when all is said and done, their prices are equal or higher than any other carrier."
Pros: "The price was great"
Pros: "New planes. Plenty of leg room. Good customer service"
Cons: "The checked luggage came in two waves. The second took about 45 minutes."
Pros: "We arrived 40 minutes early. Flight attendants were friendly."
Pros: "On time. Crew friendly"
Cons: "Seats on the plane were ridiculous. Never Sat in a more uncomfortable airline seat. So thin and crammed together."
Cons: "Extra fees. Extra long boarding process. Very Rude and mean, flight attendant."
Pros: "Once we got into the Gate, which was a problem coming and going into Denver --it was fine. We waited for a good 20-30 minutes to pull up to the gate. (on the way to Seattle, in Denver the wait was 40 minutes on the tarmac). Seems like Frontier must be struggling."
Cons: "flights were more than 2 hours delayed without any explanation."
Cons: "Tray tables too small for a laptop or magazine. Should at least provide a glass for water for free to passengers - I was lucky to have brought my own water."
Pros: "Customer service was great at the bag drop desk. The lady helped us with our seat assignments."
Pros: "Tough! other than the only flight available for the time, I would not have chosen it."
Cons: "Extremely commercial in the name of budget airlines! The flight wasn't cheap or anything! But money speaks everywhere and ALL the time with this airlines. $2 for a can of soda. Carry on bags- pay! For whatever reason you decide to buy it at the airport- extra! Seats- very uncomfortable and you couldn't get better even if you paid because the whole flight has the same kind! Use this airlines at your own discomfort!"
Pros: "Staff are nice, but I feel bad for them though because they work for a crappy airline. At least the plane was clean/not in obvious disrepair/not a 1955 propeller plane."
Cons: "Cheap airline and it really shows. Both departing and returning flights were heavily delayed with multiple gate changes. Even a cup of water on the flight is not included (costs $), they try to charge for even carry-on luggage on online check-in (what other airline even does that??? I recommend skipping that step - they didn't even ask anyway). Crammed seats and tiny trays. The return flight included a technical problem where they had everyone get off the plane and board another one after more delays. I will never fly Frontier ever again, even if flights cost $1."
Cons: "That I had to sit on the outside of the airport for two hours with no where else to go because ticket crews didnt arrive until two hours before the flight. pretty bullshit."
Pros: "The crew was very nice. Plane was clean. Quiet and easy flight."
Cons: "I only say I'll never fly with frontier again because of the outrageous carry on fee. $45 for a backpack?! It's not disclosed the amount you'll pay for the carry on until you check in and get your boarding pass, only that a fee may apply. As a military spouse I only have so much extra income and after paying for a flight I never expected to pay for a backpack as well as my seat."
Pros: "Arrived on time a little bit early actually I think"
Cons: "No free snacks or even peanuts for the fight"
Pros: "Bot"
Cons: "Had 1- carry on and they charged 45.00 at the gate to check no mention prior"
Pros: "Comments from cabin crew were delightful but I missed some... Low expectations make for a better flight, I think. Everything went very smoothly...left on time arrived early!"
Cons: "Why are you asking about food...none is provided, though drinks and snacks are available for purchase... Wish I could have understood the cabin crew...especially the humorous one better...hard to hear some of the comments..."
Pros: "The crew was wonderful and very helpful and cheerful. Flight was super fast and we arrived early."

Pros: "Courteous wheel chair service for the staff"
Cons: "Spirit airlines is behind in everything. Takes extra long to check in, it is the only airline that reduces baggage weight allowance to 40 lbs, every other airline is 50lbs. They do not offer free carry ons, the seats inside the plane are super uncomfortable, small table behind seat, and you prob won’t use it, because not even water is free while you ride for hours. No thank you, will not book with Spirit again."
