Cons: "There was a screaming Infant in the seat next to me that continued to scream for the first hour and a half. I requested earplugs, and wore them under my 34 dB noise isolating earmuffs (which were made for use at a gun range). The screaming was still loud enough to give me the worst headache that I've had in 4 years. Once this baby stopped, the baby in the row behind me began to scream and the one across the isle from him/her joined in. I would happily rebook with JetBlue if there was an option to not be seated within 5 rows of a toddler."

When my connection arrived at 7pm I stood in line at the gate while the airline employee working completely ignored us for a solid 15 minutes waiting to get my boarding pass. the flight then said it was delayed with a departure time of 9:05 and we did not even start boarding until after 9pm."

Cons: "40 min taxi time but not much we could do about that."
Pros: "The stewardess was very nice"
Cons: "We had to deboarding the plane due to electrical reasons, which is unfortunate but I understand. However.. The pilot scared everyone when he said told us that we were deboarding and literally said "it's better to find out now while we are still on the ground because it could have happened in the air and that would not have been good". As someone who has flight anxiety that was not something that sat well. In addition we were not given any instruction on what to do at that point. Should we try to find another flight?.. Should we wait for the plane to get fixed?.. Are we all boarding another plane?... Everyone was confused and frustrated!"

Pros: "The crew on the airplane was great. We had 2.5 hours turbulences but the crew started to give out drinks as soon they got the ok from the pilot"
Cons: "We went in LGA to the Baggage drop off and the employee there was super rude. On the flight to New York with Delta we had to check our carry ons at the gate because it wasn't enough room for bags in the airplane.so we asked when we checked our one suitcase if we can/should check our carry ons to avoid having to do it at the gate. The delta employee told me sure no problem. He checks in my one suitcase I purchased gives me the tracking paper and says ok have a good flight. I asked him so what is with our carry ons and he told us that that would cost 25$ and we can't check those in at the drop off?!?We ended up taking the carry ons with to the gate and then off course there wasn't enough room on the airplane that we had to check it in. And surprise it was free?? We had never issues with Lufthansa, icelandair etc. with checking our bags at drop off to not needing to carry it around and than still end up to check it at the airplane. Every airline has been more than happy that we volunteer to check our bags that they don't have the trouble at the gate."
Pros: "Fly attenden alwas with a beautiful smile"
Pros: "I usually have had great experiences with Delta. The meal selection was limited. By the time they made it up to my seat they had run out of what we wanted.

Pros: "The flight itself was fine."
Cons: "The gate change was not announced on my phone app (changed from E7 to D49). I hate leaving out of Terminal E at MIA. There is no point to having TSA Pre-Check if you have to stand in line with people who don't have it. I have to remove my liquids and laptop. It's such a shabby, run-down terminal."

Pros: "Smooth flight with great service."
Pros: "The first leg had awesome pasta.Then, on the 2nd leg, Philly to Denver, they had a "pay for meal" option for turkey with Chutney sandwich - again, delicious. I should add that the service was very good as well."

Cons: "lack of in-seat video and no free wi-fi and no power connections"
Pros: "Vegetarian meal was actually good!"
Cons: "They didn’t give me ice cream :("
Pros: "On time, good service."
Pros: "Staff was great!"
Cons: "Seats were really uncomfortable up and reclined. Overhead baggage was full by the time I boarded and there was no enforcement of the carry-on baggage sizes... This needs to be addressed and contributed to our lack of comfort, noting this was the last leg of an 18 hour journey. My body still hurts today after a good nights sleep."
Pros: "We did eventually reach our destination safe and sound"
Cons: "In flight service on AA was very disappointing. This was a cross-country flight of 5 hours at the dinner hour. The plane was full [ as usual these days ] seat space was tight [ as usual these days ], but cabin service was practically invisible. The two stewards made one pass with the beverage cart, and that was it for the duration!! On a five hour flight!! When I went back for a beverage, the stewards were chatting at the rear compartment. This was the poorest American Airlines service that I have experienced in fifty years. I will avoid them in the future. Don"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Lost connection"
Cons: "We boarded, sat on the plane for a while, backed up from the gate, then sat for a while longer. 3 hours later, we had to go back to the gate because we reached the legal limit they can hold us on the plane on the tarmac. Another hour and a half or so later, we finally took off for JFK. We missed our first connecting flight and the second connecting flight I was able to rebook."
Cons: "You make me deplane just to take my bags from me because they don't fit the plane when I just flew 4 hours across the country."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Both flights, to and from around had to go search for my baggage and on the return flight I even had to go to a different terminal. The service is unacceptable. I will never fly with AA again."
Pros: "Entertainment."
Cons: "We sat on the runway for 3.5 hours while the crew cleaned up a fuel spill and we waited for a different co-pilot."
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"

Cons: "When your on your honeymoon it sure would be nice to have a seat next to my husband like we requested."
Cons: "No entertainment, ran out of meals by the time they got to the back of the plane."
Pros: "Good flight."
Cons: "A little crowded"
Cons: "The customer service from AA representitives in the airport was completely unnacceptable and the absolute worst service I have recieved in an airport to date! One incident during this trip was as follows: When arriving in Charlotte and running to catch my connecting flight, I arrived as the lady at the desk was closing the door, she looked at me and rolled her eyes. When I went up to the desk along with the other passengers arriving from the same flight as me the AA representative said "Hurry up , I want to go home!! At a point I'm just going to cut you off and that will be it!" She was of no help to me in anyway amd was forced tonstay the night in charlotte ; Normally this would not have been such a big deal, However I am on emergency leave from the Navy rushing home because I have a very serious family emergency, that representitive was very lucky I held my temper! From now on thanks to the poor unproffessional customer service I received I will no longer be flying American Airlines!"
Cons: "Having to check my carry on bag. Brought only a carry on to avoid baggage claim, but was forced to check it anyway. There is NO organization to the boarding process, so in the free-for-all at boarding, people in any boarding group are let through with WAY MORE than 1 carry on and 1 personal item, leaving no room for my bag and I was in group 2 (not sure how many groups there are). Horrible disorganization at boarding. Board from back to front for goodness sake...its common sense."
Pros: "All aspects of flight were perfect. Couldn't ask for anything more."
Cons: "Everything was perfect."
Pros: "Quick, efficient flight"
Cons: "Packed light with no toiletries in our carry on to avoid having to go to baggage claim. They announced anyone in groups 3 or 4 had to check their bags. We checked our bag, boarded the plane, and there was PLENTY of overhead space. Wasted 35 minutes at baggage claim."
Cons: "We were never offered our drink or snack. Then the male attendant called my wife "sir" when asking her to put up the tray table"
Pros: "This flight was cancelled"
Cons: "Hire better competent people"
Cons: "Wider seats and more leg room"
Cons: "United express flight Tucson to Denver and Denver to Tucson...feet were freezing on both flights."
Pros: "Wonderful flight.... great crew!"
Pros: "Not much, don't really like flying at night. The crew was nice enough."
Cons: "Our flight to Denver was delayed by 3 hours, so I had to wait for 5 hours. Supposedly we were waiting for another plane because the original plane had a damaged wing. Who knows if these things are true. Maybe they just don't have enough pilots. I missed my connecting flight. Less time unboarding"
Pros: "Crew and entertainment."
Cons: "Offer more food and beverages due to long delay and sitting in the plane for over an hour before take off."
Pros: "We made it home safely and on time."
Cons: "We were sat in the very last seats near bathroom which was noisy and uncomfortable. I actually paid an extra charge so we could be sat together. In flight entertainment didn’t work in my seat. One piece of our luggage was lost."
Pros: "I liked the ticket price."
Cons: "The seat was very narrow with absolutely minimal leg space, and a carry-on bag was not included in the fare."
Cons: "Flight was delayed by 3 hours. Seat bottoms are very short on this plane--several inches shorter than normal."
Cons: "The delay was horrible and the captain said it was because they needed extra sleep. I found this offensive as i was trying to complete a very long trip and was exhausted."
Pros: "Crew was pleasant and did their job well"
Cons: "The de-ice took way to log and not enough leg room"
Pros: "Good experience. Brought my own entertainment. Comfortable seats for economy cabin. Friendly flight attendants"
Pros: "We landed in NYC -- although it was first announced as Dulles."
Cons: "This flight was on Canadian Air under the auspices of United. I was not allowed into the United Club lounge despite the fact that I had business class ticket. I was informed that a business class ticket isn't sufficient for using the lounge when flying domestic. It is only good when flying international. They call that customer service. I generally avoid domestic airlines because of the customer service. The flight attendants were not happy to serve you. It's a small flight but they didn't even offer a snack -- you had to ask for it. And then they brought over a small basket with nuts, chips, candy bars, and a muffin. I took a muffin and it stuck to the roof of my mouth -- very poor quality. When I asked for a snack the flight attendant replied cocktail or soft drink never saying whether or not a snack was available.. She said this a couple of times before I could repeat that I wanted a snack to which she replied you want something to drink with that. I've been on many short flights in Asia and they will deliver a full meal and you don't have to ask for it. There was no entertainment but United did send an email explaining how I could purchase entertainment to play on my own device."
Cons: "Second standby adventure of the day got longer as inbound flight was late."
Pros: "Leg room 7 aisle"
Cons: "Pretzels on a 4 our flight? There should have been some food"
Cons: "Never made it on that flight"
Pros: "I made it safely to my destination"
Cons: "I have been flying Lufthansa for over 15 years and the service is steadily declining. It started with issues during online check-in, a delay in Frankfurt which resulted in a very tight connection. I had to leave my bags behind to make it and the ground personell was of zero help. Oh, and premier silver status is good for nothing on Lufthansa. Thanks StarAlliance."
Pros: "Arrived almost an hour early which was great."
Cons: "Flight was delayed for a hour and half because of equipment. Credit goes to United for promptly putting use on another flight that just came in from Denver. All in a it was a long day."
Cons: "Boarding at Dulles was stupid. The line for 1st class and Premier was against the wall, so these passengers had to fight their way through the lines for passengers in sections 3,4,5 just to get to their line. It would make more sense to have groups 1 & 2 in lines which face the door, and keep the lines for 3,4,5 as they are--that is, parallel to the wall. Or, have the lines in the opposite order, so that 1&2 are closest to the concourse, and 5 is next to the wall I actually felt sorry for these 'privileged' passengers who had to fight their way through the other boarding lines just to board when their section was called"
Pros: "Your seating was spacious!"
Cons: "The unfriendliness of the crew."
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "I wish it was always this easy."
Cons: "I wish the seats and leg room could be a little more generous for those of us who don't fly first class."
Pros: "Not much. We did arrive alive, which is the best part of it."
Cons: "Late, very late without any explanation. Only one food service in flight."
Pros: "a little bit more foot-room than my previous flight on a different airline."
Pros: "The boarding procedure, and flight were completely uneventful. Flight attendants were nice. Slept through the snack if there was one offered."
Cons: "Seatback entertainment by directv is getting a little old at this point. I didn't test it but I believe you can watch content on demand on your own device instead but it's hard to keep the seat back screen turned off. Be weary of tight international to domestic connections at IAD. I had an hour and a half between flights and made it to the gate when they had called group 5 for boarding. This is with Global Entry, TSA Pre-check and priority tags on my bags. I'm sure many others without the above were not so lucky."
Pros: "Well, the plane didn't crash, so that was nice. The plane was clean and the newer 737-900s are pretty decent."
Cons: "Every time I fly United, I pretty much feel like it is an honor on the level of being knighted to get the privilege to fly with this airline. Thank you so much for being willing to take my money in exchange for a service, United. Bless you. I'm sure if you spend $10k + a year with them, they'll happily massage your feet as you ride along, but anyone else seems to be each flight attendant's personal enemy that they must frustrate as often as possible. Also, thank you, United, you beautiful prom queen you, for changing my seat from a window to a middle because it pleased you. It honors me to be your jest."
Pros: "Pilot made up for a late departure & we arrived in Denver a few minutes early. Skies were abut rough for a short time."
Pros: "The flight crew was welcoming and friendly throughout the flight. Even the pilot walked through the plane and chatted with the passengers prior to the flight and also made an announcement wishing a young boy a happy birthday from the flight crew."
Pros: "Security was quick and efficient. Boarding was extremely organized. The airline attendants were attentive. The pilot on United informed us when the possibility of hitting turbulence occurred so we could adjust accordingly. Overall, great travel experience."
Pros: "I liked that I finally made it home despite all the drama."
Cons: "I didn't like that I booked a flight nearly 2 months ago to only find out I didn't have a seat. I do understand its legal but I don't get how you are putting customers first by causing this drama. I understand how that DR felt when your guards ripped him out of his seat. I spent nearly 3 hours trying to find babysitters and alternate rides all while the snotty lady at the desk kept saying "you may not be flying out today but I cant tell you for sure". So to insure the bottom line you overbook then bump people at your leisure? This little game effects many lives above and beyond just the passengers. I don't plan on booking with United ever again. Why would I? There are many other options that take customer service more seriously. I would love to speak to someone higher up in this organization. But, im sure that will never happen."
Pros: "I liked that they were polite and friendly during the national United flight groundings due to the computer error."
Cons: "I did not like the terrifying situation in which the pilot said we would be landing in 15 minutes (at this point we were close enough to the ground that I could see cars ) but then without any further announcement proceeded to point the plane upwards and started flying up up up so that all the city lights disappeared and all I could see were stars next to us. I asked 2 different flight attendants wtf was going on and they both said "oh he's just looking for smooth air" which was clearly BS because I was in the very last row of the plane and if there had been rough air I would have been the first to feel it. After inexplicably shooting upwards for what felt like an eternity we finally turned around and ultimately landed and guess what, no rough air to be found. Now I know why airplane pilots update you all the time, because when he pulls a maneuver like that without any warning it is terrifying and all I could think of was the suicidal dude in Germany from Lufthansa. Not cool. Other than that the flight was fine and they were really nice despite the like 3 hour delay or whatever it was. It cost me an extra $60 cause I arrived so late my husband and baby couldn't pick me up anymore but they offered a credit for a future flight so it's ok. I appreciate the gesture."
Cons: "Boarding was late, then, after boarding, we were advised leaving was delayed due to no fuel service available, then other problems arouse, over all, we sat at the gate for over 2 hours before take off."
Pros: "Nice, big plane"
Cons: "The entertainment went out."
Pros: "Nice plane very smooth flight"
Cons: "Plane was late and missed connection to Wichita"
Pros: "Crew friendly, but every thing else simply as usual."
Cons: "No meal if you can' afford first class."
Pros: "Great and attentive."
Cons: "Seats were a bit uncomfortable although very clean."
Pros: "We ran from customs to our gate with 7 minutes to spare."
Cons: "My seat belt appeared to be on the verge of fraying. Too bad we would have to pay for entertainment. It was free on the international flight. The seats were old, narrow and did not have much padding."
Pros: "Easy to board and check in, good price"
Cons: "It was extra to check luggage"
Pros: "On time, friendly crew, bags got through timely"
Cons: "Nothing in particular."
Pros: "Everything was fine"
Cons: "Na"
Pros: "Boarding, crew"
Cons: "Stale bag of snacks, expensive options for entertainment were a little co fusing as far as directions go."
Cons: "A la ahora de irnos hubo muchos contratiempo por el tiempo pero por el vuelo después que nos fuimos fue excelente"
Pros: "It's seems like no one cares about passengers in this airline.... Rude services"
Cons: "Sorry, I can never give comfort a rating above poor as long as airlines keep making economy class seats smaller and smaller."
Cons: "The leg room was terrible."
Pros: "Good flight attendants."
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "Male flight attendant gave male psgr next to me 4 bottles of scotch free for having to sit in last row, yet the other 5 of us in last row were not offered anything like that. When psgr next to me became drunk he apologized and needed our help finding his connection when he got off plane."
Pros: "The stewardesses were kind."
Cons: "United didn't even try to hold my connection even though I could have made it if they held it 10 minutes (and it had no further connections). Instead they sent it out early. They had no other flights to my destination until 3pm the next day. The hotels were full and no rental cars were available."
Pros: "The pilot did a great job manning and landing"
Cons: "I can't imagine how little service you get for a long flight"
Pros: "The crew was professional and friendly."
Cons: "Both my outbound and inbound flights were 1 hour late. The tiny tray tables and lack of reclining chairs make Frontier's planes more uncomfortable than others. Being charged for a basic beverage or snack also seems "chintzy" when you've already charged me for my flight + my seat + all baggage."
Pros: "The legroom we paid for."
Cons: "This time the attendant still wouldn’t let anyone in rows 2 & 3 place the carry on they had paid extra for in the overhead bins, but she didn’t make me put it under the seat in front of me (this losing the extra leg room we paid for), so I put it in a bin behind me. The plane was late, but the pilot made up most of the time, but then it took 55 minutes to get our luggage."
Cons: "Have plane depart on time."
Cons: "The rep. at the baggage drop off was being unnecessarily unkind. Though she did not attend to us, it was obvious to all those in line she was upset. She gave her co-rep. attitude &created a very uncomfortable environment. We do not know either of their names. The negative rep was the AfricanAm lady."
Cons: "Flexibility with the flight."
Cons: "Flight was delayed by almost two hours so I missed the flight from Denver to Charlotte. Because of the way this flight was sold to us and booked through Kiwi.com, there was nothing that could be done to get me on another flight. The only option was to wait for a Frontier flight which wasn't available until Monday morning. I had to book another flight on a different airline at a cost of $600."
Pros: "Everything else was fine."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 30 mins prior to boarding for 6 hours. They were missing a part that needed to be ordered. What I don't understand is why they couldn't have emailed everyone to notify us so we weren't stuck in the airport for 6 hours."
Pros: "The actual price was very good, but the seat and bag fees were disappointing."
Cons: "I don’t care if there’s food or not, but nobody should have to pay for a seat or luggage."
Cons: "Three hour delay which almost made me miss my connecting flight. Not even an apology was offered. As we landed my connecting flight was boarding and no attempt was made to deplane the delayed connecting travellers first."
Pros: "The staff were very pleasant"
Cons: "The seats are small and don't recline"
Pros: "We appreciated the cheap airline ticket prices."
Cons: "We were outraged by having to pay $45 for each piece of luggage, including carry ons! After these hidden fees, our tickets would have been cheaper for a well established and popular airline."
Pros: "The staff was so kind and made the trip fun, very fast flight but so enjoyable. I honestly will not fly another airline if frontier is available. And best of all it was inexpensive... other flights were pushing 500$ and I got this ticket for 200$ overall great experience!!"
Cons: "Only thing was I couldn't buy a drink with cash which is all I had on me but I think that's every airline so nothing frontier specific :)"
Cons: "You're charged for everything. When checking in you have to pay for your seats... what's the point of spending $350 on a ticket if you have to spend another $60 on your seat. What was the ticket for?"
Pros: "I lived"
Cons: "definitely would be better if there was USB ports and if I'm gonna spend $7.99 on a shot of whiskey it would at least fill the glass up"
Pros: "The online price."
Cons: "All of the hidden fees."
Pros: "It was cheap"
Cons: "I had to find another flight on my own to replace the second leg of my trip from Denver to Salt Lake City. The customer service was ridiculous."
Cons: "Uncomfortable seats - don't recline! Rude crew, create an impression if they're doing you a favor by being there. Flight significantly delayed. No clear announcements. As a frequent flier, didn't expect a Spirit like experience from Frontier!"
Pros: "The cheap price"
Cons: "No complementary drinks such as soda or snacks such as peanuts or pretzels"
Pros: "The staff was friendly."
Cons: "The flight was delayed, and there was poor communication in the waiting area other than making sure your baby item extras were tagged. People with children were told to be ready to board early, but we were the 3rd group to board. I had to pay $3 for my daughter to have juice to drink (no beverage or snack included) after I had to pay extra to get seats assigned to be together with my 3 year old."
Pros: "The flight left 5 hours late, spent a good 30-40 min on the runway, the bagage claim was never marked and announced after most people had figured it out, and they lost two pieces of our luggage. I guess that is good service, since the common standard today is being beaten bloody and dragged off the plane. I wish they had communicated the reasons for the delay, given accurate estimates, etc"
Pros: "Price before additional fees"
Cons: "All the extra fees. Pick a seat fee? Checked bag fee? Carry on fee?"
Cons: "After being left on the plane for a long time and not even offered ice water or anything. We were released out to the lobby. And then shortly after asked to get back on the plane where it was EXTREMELY Hot. I would NEVER go frontier again."
Pros: "If you're flying frontier your not doing it because of how luxurious it is. You're doing it because it's cheaper than most. Yeah they rob you with the bags and paying for anything not water on the flight. But what can you expect for the cost? The crew is almost always good from experience, but customer support online is a nightmare. It is by far and away the worst customer support services I have encountered. The actual people that work at the airport and fly are good but if you need to make a call you are screwed."
Cons: "From the get go this flight was terrible. Frontier at DCA doesn't open their ticketing counter until 2 hours before the flight leaves - this means that even though there were 15 people in line, the worker just walked away and left an empty desk after she finished helping the flight before us. The flight attendants were unhelpful and condescending; a man complained because something from the overhead bin was dripping on his head and he received one cocktail napkin in response. They made you pay for sodas (despite me taking this exact flight from DEN to DCA 7 days earlier and getting sodas for free) and overall it was a disappointing experience. I sincerely hope Frontier gets their act together soon, they've become a disappointment of an airline."
Pros: "Absolutely nothing the flight never took off and I never mad it to my destination."
Cons: "Everything this is the worst flying experience I've ever had in my entire life I will never fly frontier again"
Pros: "Fairly good ticket price"
Cons: "Too hot on plane Extra charge for luggage"
Pros: "Price of flight"
Cons: "When I went to sit down in my middle seat there was two larger women on either side of me. If I was any bigger, I am a 5' 4" 110 lb woman mind you, I would not have fit in between these women. If you keep shrinking your seats, no one will fly with you. In the future, I will be booking my flights further in advance with an airline that has seats to accommodate someone who is the size of a full sized man or woman."
Pros: "The price of the flight"
Cons: "The fact that frontier will not transfer checked bags to a different airline. If at all possible, I will never fly this airline again"
Pros: "Flights were overall good. Airplane crew was attentive and cordial- sats are comfortable although not reclineable. Flight was on time and even arrived ahead of schedule"
Cons: "Check in crew was not very cordial/friendly- Did not have any check in Kiosks open at MSY and no one around the dask for over 40 minutes Tried to check in online 12 hours prior to my flight so I could get discounted check in bag prices and it would not accept my email as contact so it would not let me finalize the process so had to pay full price at airport- Although flight arrived early- had to wait almost one hour for luggage"
Pros: "Flight attendants were nice."
Cons: "Flight was late, Boarding procedure was not efficient it would help if they seated by seat letter when I boarded I was in seat f by the window but the other two seats were already occupied and they had to get up to let me in this happened numerous times for everyone on the plan causing a long boarding time. Plane had some off issues I think with the fuel pumps or the hydraulics there was a really annoying sound for the entire flight. No wifi Not enough leg room"
Cons: "Boarding. Why can't airlines go back to the old way of boarding from the rear of the airplane first?"
Pros: "Arrived early but then had to sit on tamark to wait for open gate. When able to check in at terminal desk, was able to go through TS-Pre check when I got my ticket."
Cons: "Seats too close together. Crew didn't come through cabin very often to check on passengers or pick up trash. Don't like use card for few dollars of drinks or food. Terminal desk wasn't open when I went to check in 2 hours early. Had difficult time with kiosk. Paying $40 each for carry on both ways and more for a window seat. Flight was delayed from Denver to Madison."
Pros: "I liked the timeliness of the boarding process."
Cons: "I did not like the attitude of the one of the male flight attendants and found that he was unprofessional. The seats were the most uncomfortable seats I've had to sit in during a flight. The airline doesn't offer free complimentary drinks and they still don't offer a TSA precheck option for their flights."
Cons: "Swindled at the airport to pay $40 for a carry on, with no heads up during the booking process."
Pros: "I was impressed with how smooth the takeoff and landing were in addition to the kindness of the crew."
Cons: "The hidden charges and random fees got me sweating as they piled up, but nothing too terrible that it actually made flying Frontier more expensive than other airlines."
Cons: "Seats are so uncomfortable. Then with all the extra fees this discounted fare cost more than if I would've went with my usual pic of airlines. Sat on the tarmac for for over 30 minutes after leaving late from Austin. We had originally expected at least an hour and a half layover and planned on getting some dinner in Denver. With The delay in leaving and sitting on the tarmac we only had about 20 minutes most to find something quick to eat"
Pros: "It was on time. The crew was generally friendly. The take off and the landing was pretty smooth."
Cons: "I didn't like the cramped feeling. I was in the aisle so there was nowhere to rest my head."
Cons: "Flight left 45 minutes late with no alerts, uncomfortable planes, tray "tables" couldn't hold more than a deck of cards and a small coffee, nickel and dime for everything, no wifi"
Pros: "Flight delayed unapologetically- making me miss connecting flight on frontier only hours before the flight, which they were unapologetic about"
Cons: "Fee's for luggage and carry ons. In other airline its already included Fee's for luggage and carry ons. In other airline its already included Delayed flight"
Cons: "there was a charge for carry on that was not disclosed when i bought the ticket. further, i was unable to get the ticket from home so had to go through the extra time to go to the ticket counter."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and the plane was clean. Seats aren't too bad either."
Cons: "This is the only airline I know of that charges for a carry on bag as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Also, the charging for seats is ridiculous."
Cons: "The flight was 2.5 hours late but none of us knew what was going on. We waited at the terminal without any real updates. Seats were incredibly uncomfortable and not spacious enough for adults. Also, $30 for a carry-on!? I was not aware of the extra charge until the day of, bad customer service."
Cons: "I took off time from work today to catch a 5:25 flight from San Francisco to Denver, arriving at 9:05. It's now 11:55 pm and I am still sitting at gate 21 with a whole bunch of people other waiting for a plane to arrive. My only choices are to wait of this plane to show up, or come back in the morning to take the 5:45am flight. I have business meetings in Denver tomorrow morning. I had a car rented and a hotel reserved. The car rental in Denver closes is 5 minutes. The thing that's the most upsetting is that we keep receiving erroneous information. The original departure time was 5:25. Then we were told 6:00. Then we were told 9:00pm. Then we were told 12:03, Then we were told 12:20. Now we are being told they don't know when the plane will arrive to take us to Denver. I will NEVER fly Frontier again."
Pros: "The crew was great, and boarding was easy."
Cons: "Well frontier advertises these cheap flights, but then charges for seats, bags, drinks, and snacks. These flights end up being just as expensive or more expensive than other airlines!! Super irritating. Doubt I will fly frontier again."
Pros: "Our flight was cancelled and there was no customer service to help us rebook - we are heading to the airport now."
Cons: "Lack of customer service"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Service, seats, everything...not worth the cheaper price"
Pros: "The crew on the way back from Denver were funny and kind and extremely helpful. The flight itself was fine."
Cons: "The prices for the trip. I wish I were explained that I would have so many different prices added on to the trip price. Carry-On price, seat price, Checked bag price (why are they different prices?). Only complimentary drink is water. The trip is more ideal for a weekend trip where all you need is a backpack that can fit under the seat. Then the pricing wouldn't be so bad."
Pros: "The crew was awesome."
Cons: "Extra hidden fees for baggage, food, and seating. Next time I would opt for the more expensive flight for more comfortable ammenities."
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."
