Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
Cons: "Overbooked and crowded, on a Sunday."
Cons: "No beverages available to even purchase ! Ridiculous!"
Cons: "Everything was dandy!"
Cons: "Your seats are too small, but we know the airline industry is not gonna do anything about it."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "Nothing extraordinary, just solid positive experience from checking in on my phone thtough disembarking"
Cons: "I like the convenience of the built-in multifunctional screens (like on Alaska flights) that AA are lacking"
Pros: "We didn’t crash and die. That’s the only positive."
Cons: "Before we boarded I listened to a couple described how they always went ahead in line at boarding because no one ever stopped them. They described how they waited until group 3 was called and then went right through. While we were waiting, we watched them do it again. If you need to cram people into tiny spaces to be profitable, then you cannot allow them to make it worse by putting back their seats. I spent 90 minutes with a seat back jammed into my chest. We were ignored when handing out snacks, probably because we were invisible behind the seats pushed in our faces. It was one of the most miserable flights I’ve experienced."
Pros: "Yes"
Cons: "Everything was fine"
Cons: "It was cramped; it wasn’t overcrowded."
Cons: "You were out of earphones"
Pros: "We were allowed to board early with my father, who is disabled."
Cons: "Denver airport was a nightmare with my disabled father. We were given a “wheelchair” but no escort through a nightmarish security scene. Airport is terribly designed, lacking clear signage and navigation. TSA was a disaster and no one seemed remotely concerned about my father’s comfort or needs."

Cons: "Less boarding groups"

Cons: "The usb charger for my seat didn't work. The power cord kept falling off."
Cons: "I researched and called and found a 45L backpack so I could carry on my dive bag. That’s the reason I’m going all the way to Fiji. Not letting me get it in LA I’d also ridiculous."
Cons: "Customer service was bad"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Such tiny seats."
Pros: "Not using kayak"
Cons: "Kayak booked me the worst itinerary in the history of air travel!"

Pros: "The helpful steward"
Cons: "The bumpy ride"
Cons: "Even though I presented a valid handicap sticker to the front desk, they treated me as though I was some kid who stole it from my grandma or something when I asked to board early. The steward was rude and pushy. I asked a question and he acted as though I was bothering him."
Pros: "Comfortable seats, good legroom."
Cons: "Not enough coffee for breakfast."

Cons: "Because it was a day later!!!"
Pros: "Wi fi did not work."
Pros: "They were on time"
Cons: "The A321 had the most cramped seating I've ever experienced. The video in the seat back didn't work properly going or coming back. Boarding was slow. I don't know why they don't load the rear seats first so you don't have to wait for everyone ahead to secure their carry-on luggage. If they didn't charge so much for checking a bag there wouldn't be so much carry-on baggage"
Pros: "No surveys"
Cons: "No surveys"
Pros: "The Denver airport is beautiful"
Cons: "I will never fly AA again - see below"
Cons: "Late departure. Seats were double booked. Had to delay again to sort it out."
Cons: "I had to leaves Denver early due to my granddaughter needing help. To sees switch returns my ticket it would cost me me $200.00 but it could get a retire ticket for that day for $40.00. Why couldn't that dollar amount come of my ticket . That was just crazy"
Cons: "Small narrow seats"
Pros: "Window seat"
Cons: "Lower fares"
Pros: "Boarding and the crew were phenomenal. Smooth process to board both times."
Cons: "This is like Spirit, no complementary snacks, no entertainment, chairs don't even recline, the actual plane stinks... Again, you get what you pay for."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight was delayed for over 5 hours. Either a crew or plane issue. We were told was a maintenance issue. I assumed that was airline responsibility to have done before flight. Very early am flight on Sunday. Meal vouchers offered but was asleep. Finally later boarded the plane. Sat on tarmac for long time. Finally captain announced that we would have to deplane because of maintenance issues. Got off plane. Sat in terminal. Went to get meal voucher hadn’t gotten earlier because I was asleep. The apparent supervisor at gate was awfully rude when I asked. She said that the vouchers were all already destroyed and they would not print another. Later rebounded and flight got home for a flight time of 1hour. Missed breakfast at hotel to get to airport on time for early flight only to have all this happen that should have been preventable. It was probably one of the worst flight experiences I have ever had. Difficult to describe on this forum adequately. I will NEVER fly Frontier airlines again and I will encourage all that I know to avoid this airline. I was charged to bring a carryon on board. I did not check a bag but would’ve been charged there too. There is a charge to pick a seat. Charge for any snack or drink on board. Horrible airline with terrible customer service. I will protest with my airline dollar and patronize its competition. I encourage you to do the same."
Cons: "Medical emergency once on board, delayed the departure from Denver. While no fault of the airlline, as a passenger onboard, waiting in the back of the plane. Some type f overhead announcement being made would have alleviated any undue conversations between passengers, wonderment of departure delay."
Cons: "The lines were so long just to check your baggage even though you were checked into your flight made me miss my flight I wasn’t alone there was several other passengers you miss your flight when we pulled up to the Denver airport we were amazed at the line that had formed inside and out it was unbelievable they didn’t have enough staff and I ended up missing my flight And it was a Saturday morning they offered to put me on a flight the next Tuesday what a joke"
Pros: "Had to de ice and still landed in time"
Cons: "On the return flight I had the wrong gate number on my ticket. Luckily I asked a the desk gate to find out. The lady was not very helpful . She was not very nice either it could seem to care less whether I got to the right gate or not. I thought I check the board at the airport. I did make a call to customer service and I did book another flight to California on a different airline for my next trip"
Pros: "The flight time I originally booked."
Cons: "That they changed our flight to the day before what I had chosen and the Kayak app didn't update so we arrived at the airport to find out our flight had left the day before."
Pros: "Not only was this airline prompt but early, both ways by nearly 30 minutes. I was very pleased with this."
Cons: "Didn't fly back with Frontier."
Pros: "Always on time, frontiers gates are always closest to terminal."
Cons: "Comfort of seats but for a short flight it's fine."
Cons: "We arrived at DIA 1.5 hrs early only to find frontier lines wrapped around the entire lobby and 100 deep on the curbside check in. We finally got to the baggage counter 4 minutes after the 45 min cutoff and were told that they could not put us on the plane. The cause? SIX check in attendances failed to show up to work in retaliation for Frontier's recent outsourcing of jobs and the fact that their "Discount Den" specials, which have flights out of Denver on Sundays as low as $3.50 were taxing the staff, so they essentially boycotted. All flights back to MCI out of ALL airlines were full so we and our small children had to rent an expensive suburban and drive all night to get to work on Monday after a 12 day vacation. Absolutely the WORST travel experience we have ever had."
Cons: "Delay delay delay!"
Cons: "Frontier staff late led to late departure by 1.5 hours"
Pros: "The hotel and meal vouchers"
Cons: "The stay over in Denver"
Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above, but smoother landing"
Pros: "flight attendants attitude was great & front desk helped me find my gate since there was a change also great service"
Pros: "All OK."
Cons: "Could not recline my seat."
Cons: "I purchased the "perks" upgrade and then when I tried to put my jacket in the overhead storage the attendant told me I couldn't do that and that I had to hold it for the flight... never mind the overhead storage wasn't full. That's what an additional $58 gets you. Then the pilot didn't want to fly the plane because the soap dispenser wasn't functional in the forward lavatory. Seriously! We sat on the plane 35 minutes while he waited for an out of order decal for the lavatory door. Dumbest flight crew I ever encountered. I'm going back to United."
Pros: "On time"
Pros: "I booked this flight for my son who has never flown by himself. Although he is 18, he hasn't flown done the she of 13. I asked if I could have a gate pass, and they issued one for me. I really appreciated their help. I"
Pros: "Unchanged from previous flight"
Cons: "All good."
Pros: "Good leg room"
Cons: "Paying extra for a carry on and no free in flight drinks/snacks"
Pros: "There was nothing I cared for and they nickeled and dimed you on everything."
Cons: "The seats are crammed - with very little leg room. It costs 30.00 to transport your luggage one way and I will never fly Frontier again - not a pleasant experience."
Pros: "Kansas City airport is a unique airport. but overall it was very easy. Just need more seating once you get through security"
Pros: "The fact that I will not fly frontier again!"
Cons: "Paying for carry on No cutomary free beveages Customer service at the ticket counter wad extremely poor in Kansas city."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above"
Cons: "The plane looked old (chipped paint, outdated upholstery). Seats did not recline. Had to pay for all baggage, carry-ons and drinks/food: this greatly increased the price of what we originally thought was a good deal on our flight."
Pros: "Crew was fine. Ground staff ok. Plane ok."
Cons: "I did not like that you had to pay $40 to carry on and place above a small piece of luggage. Then had to pay an additional amount to get a seat reservation. This is bait and switch in my view and I will not fly Frontier again."
Pros: "Everything was what I expected except the major delay."
Cons: "Major delays! Over 2 extra hours of trying to entertain a toddler in the airport (and after many other delays at other parts of the trip) was very frustrating."
Cons: "Paying for carry on- 12 hour delay- no straight answers -only flight to destination per day. Had to book nearby hotel then cancel when we found out it was going to depart (after waiting11 hours).does not work w/ other airlines"
Pros: "Wonderful trip experience. Will certainly fly Frontier again."
Pros: "New aircraft, comfortable seat (in the forward section at $20 extra)"
Cons: "Steward/Stewardess staff helpful but not super friendly."
Pros: "Crew and pilots were excellent - good communication to passengers."
Cons: "Having to pay extra for carry-on luggage. Having to pay extra for non-alcoholic beverages. Boarding at the gate completely stopped with zero explanation from the gate employees."
Pros: "Really nothing was favorable. I will avoid Frontier at all cost now. I travel once per quarter for business and yearly for vacations. There are plenty of other carriers that I can take."
Cons: "Being "nickeled and dimed" and in consistency. I paid for a carry on in Denver and was told that I did not need to pay. So on my return flight I was told I had to pay for a carry on or else I would not be allowed to board. The message as presented by Frontier staff was very hostile and confrontational."
Cons: "We sat on the tarmack for 1.5 hours once we arrived at our destination. I was also surprised at how expensive it was for carry-on and checked luggage. I don't know if I'll fly frontier again."
Pros: "Ditto above"
Cons: "New seats"
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Seats are super uncomfortable they dont recline at all!! , A drink cost 2 dollars you have to pay 45 each way for a Carrry on!! Next time ill pay a little extra and atleast get to have a carry on reclining seats and a complementary drink ! it ends up costing the same but atleast ill be somewhat comfortable ! Never again will i fly Frontier its not worth it"
Cons: "Extra costs to bring luggage ON the plane!"
Cons: "There was no tv."
Pros: "Was on time."
Cons: "No choice of entertainment."
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "Got through security without a long wait, the staff were all very pleasant and the flight was on time and reasonably comfy."
Pros: "The captain /co-captain was very pleasant"
Cons: "Seats hard and uncomfortable. Too crowded. Cost more money to get a reasonable seat. Ridiculous. Seats do not recline. Less room under seat for personal bag Armrest narrow and short. Tray is metal and hopefully no person/child will bump head or have their hot coffee fall ill during turbulence. Speaking of coffee asked but did not receive. Bags???!!! Yes I could wear all my clothes for a five day trip. TSA would be a bear. No fly"
Cons: "they claim to have good air fares just to get you in. once you purchase a ticket they milk you for every possible reason to get as much money as they possibly can. for example if you dont pay for carryon (yes you hear me they charge for carryon) at the time you check in. they will charge you twice as much at the gate ($60 dollars!!!!). their seats are incredibly uncomfortable and do not recline. the guy at the counter wanted to charge me $40 because my bag was one pound overweight. thats enough for me. I am not using frontier ever again."
Pros: "Comfortable seats with sufficient leg room."
Cons: "Very disorganized at airport in dealing with multiple delays. Overheard dealings with others stranded; granted some passengers lost their tempers but employees did the same and sometimes worse. I can't believe after a 3+ hour delay that they can not forget about costs of drinks and snacks to give passengers a small break."
Cons: "Oven an hour delay and sat for 20 minutes after boarding with no update as to why"
Cons: "If I would have know there would be a $40 per carry on bag I would have selected another airline. Any snacks or beverages other than water were also charged in flight. I guess I was pampered by Delta for a similar flight and didn't expect the up-charges from Frontier."
Pros: "Everything!"
Pros: "No issues. It was comfortable."
Cons: "I had to use the bathroom when I got off the plane. When I got to the baggage claim, my bag was no where to be found and no representative was available. I was having spirit paged, but no one ever came. Worse, I've called twice now and still no one has called me back."

Pros: "The price"
Cons: "Crammed in the seat"
Pros: "I really liked it all!"
Cons: "I wish I'd known carry on luggage had a fee when booking."
Cons: "That I had to pay for every little thing and the baggage price is too high."
Cons: "Flights departures always delays And in my case was an our."
Cons: "the pilot did a terrible job communicating with its passengers about landing. 5 mins before we were declining toward the runway to land the plane the plane increased its speed and steadily began to incline again straight back into the air for about 40 mins. No aircraft staff communicated with any of the passengers about what was going on. Everyone on the plane was extremely shaken up."
Pros: "The only thing I liked about Spirit Airlines is that I arrived to Cleveland safe."
Cons: "The staff were very unprofessional and unorganized. There were Spirit staff not knowing what gate the Cleveland plane was leaving out of also they switched the gate twice within the matter of a hour. It was very confusing for someone who arrived late the gate said Detroit but it was for Cleveland and asking the staff they didn't know anything."

Cons: "Planes are filthy."

Pros: "How cheap the tickets were"
Cons: "The turbulence but that's not something the pilot can change"
Pros: "Base fare was lower than other carriers."
Cons: "Adding any baggage, snacks, or entertainment offset any savings and the cabin is as cramped as possible."

The girls were scolded by a guy about some paperwork and a missing passenger. Once on the plane... Lack of control of passengers. Heavy use of intercoms to address one group of people. Just felt unprofessional and out of hand. Doubt very seriously I'll fly Spirit ever again. This did not represent Spirit in a positive light. Back to Delta!!!"
Pros: "Loved that I got exactly what I paid for! No frills is fine with me, staff was nice, seating was addiquate."
Cons: "Web site was not user friendly."
