Frontier Airlines is very…

Frontier Airlines is very unprofessional and caused a great amount of inconvenience. I was not made aware of a 17 hour lay over . My trip was from Detroit to Kansas City Missouri So why I had to come to Denver Airport is what I’m confused about . Then after I’ve waited for this freaking 17 hour layover that I was not made aware of. My fight proceeds to be freaking delayed for another hour. During my time at the Denver airport and dealing with the frontier representatives on site have been very unprofessional, rude , lazy , and just have been given the run around and I don’t appreciate the un professionalism and treatment I’ve received. And I Will not be flying using Frontier again.

Frontier Gets a Bad Wrap but...As long as you arent desperate and in a huge rush, Frontier is the budget airline for you. I appreciate the fares and the GoWild Pass.

Very bad airline.Bad experience

Very bad airline.Bad experience, a few times was missing from my luggage and when I called to report it no one helped, in meantime I found a paper from Homeland Security telling me they checked my luggage and they have the right to open it even if I have a locker they have the right to break it and check my luggage. This is not acceptable because you already check my luggage with the electronic tracking system at the airport even if you have the right to check it you are not allowed to take my belongs , I write this review to tell everyone be careful from this airline

Frontier Airlines or Frontier Scammers

Frontier Airlines is absolutely the worst airlines there is. Calling them scammers would be more accurate than calling them an airline. I had a flight at 10pm, as soon as I get done with check in and pass security I get a notification saying my flight has been delayed until 1am... I call customer service, they basically give me a word salad to say they can't switch my flight or do anything at all other than give me a $75 flight voucher which i have 90 days to use (I'm never flying with them again so I won't) and a $15 food voucher which first of all is not enough for anything in a restaurant and worst of all they make it crazy hard to claim. They also take every opportunity to force you to check in bags that are small for $70 and will even charge you another $45 if you check in in person. Never fly with these scammers.

The base fare is a lie and they know it

Booked what looked like a fantastic deal at sixty three dollars and by the time I finished checking out with a carry on, a seat selection, and the option to actually print my boarding pass I was at one hundred and forty dollars. That's not a budget airline anymore, that's just a regular airline that makes you feel tricked. I understand the unbundled pricing model exists but Frontier takes it to a level that feels genuinely deceptive.

Delayed both ways and nobody seemed to care

Flew Frontier round trip last spring and was delayed on both legs with zero communication from the gate staff until well after the original departure time had passed. No updates on the app, no announcements, just a gradually growing crowd of confused passengers staring at an unchanged departure board. When I finally asked someone at the gate they seemed genuinely annoyed that I had the nerve to inquire. The flight itself was fine once we were in the air but the ground experience was borderline chaotic.

I had to book a last-minute flight

I had to book a last-minute flight, which was canceled due to the weather. This happened while I was at the airport. The team members, who were supposed to be working the counters, were actively avoiding passengers and had to be flagged down by a part of the flight crew waiting for the same flight. When my flight was canceled, I called the customer service team to ask about a refund, but since I didn't "cancel my reservation within 24 hours," they would only offer me credits. I had just booked my flight that day. I got yelled at by 2 different support team members. This airline is an actual crime, stealing unsuspecting people's money. Never book with them if you can avoid it!

Horrible NO real person to talk to. Its a joke.

Horrible. Confusing website. All their flights have long layovers...some overnight!I understand that I purchased a cheap ticket but there is NO REAL PHONE # TO CALL TO FIGURE out all their small print restrictions. I tried to canceled and lost my whole $190. They gave me a worthless $87 travel credit that can only be used by me. I do not fly so asked if I can transfer to my son and was told no. Why would I fly them ever again? Keep the whole $190 Frontier, you won't get another dollar from me.The 800 # just directs you to their chat. And their chat makes you wait for 2 hours to say nothing they can do.AVOID or best to understand that you will NOT get a live person that CAN help you with this airline.So if you do NOT fly alot and don't fully understand all the layovers and cancelation requirements then just use another airlines and pay a little more.Never will I fly this hartless company. Never...

Harsh but Fair and candid

My recent experience with Frontier Airlines was extremely disappointing and raised serious concerns.The most alarming issue involved a checked firearm I properly declared and checked according to policy. After arrival, it was sent out on a regular baggage carousel where anyone could have picked it up and walked away. There was no visible security presence, no separate claim process, and no verification of identification before release. That level of handling for a declared firearm is deeply concerning and, in my opinion, unacceptable.The check-in process is another major problem. Frontier essentially requires passengers to have a smartphone to check in without paying additional fees. If you do not have one — or are not comfortable using mobile technology — you risk being charged simply to receive assistance. This policy alone effectively excludes or burdens many senior citizens and less tech-savvy travelers. Air travel should be accessible, not dependent on owning a specific device.To make matters worse, you’re greeted at the counter by signage and staff informing you that you may be charged $25 just to be assisted by a customer service agent. Being welcomed with a potential penalty for asking for help sets a very poor tone and reflects a company culture focused more on fees than on service.Between the serious baggage handling concern and the fee-heavy, tech-dependent check-in process, this experience left me frustrated and disappointed. I hope Frontier reevaluates these policies — particularly those affecting safety and accessibility — because passengers deserve better.

Frontier airlines is a total rip off

Frontier airlines is a total rip off. It's all smoke and mirrors. I paid $233 for my flight which, at first I thought was a good deal. I get to bring one bag. When I got there, they charged me an extra $140 dollars for my bag. Next time I'll just get in my car and start driving. And won't have to deal with the hassle, lies and cheating from Frontier airlines.

Frontiers Wild Pass

The Frontier Wild Pass has been extremely disappointing. Since purchasing it, my first trip was smooth—able to book a non-stop flight with ease. However, since then, I’ve flown twice more and had to purchase tickets on other airlines because the available flights through Wild Pass have consistently experienced delays of at least 12 hours or were unavailable altogether. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to find a flight to return home, but again I had to buy a ticket outside of Wild Pass because all the available flights have layovers exceeding three hours. Although non-stop flights to my destination are available, they are not offered to Wild Pass holders, nor are they during the designated blackout dates. I am thoroughly disappointed—my Wild Pass has not even paid for itself yet. I would not recommend purchasing one, and I regret that I did.

WORST AIRLINE EVER!

Was flying out of PHL with a connecting flight to ATL delay of 2.5 hours was going to cause us to miss connecting flight! There were absolutely no airplanes they could get us on to get to our destinations a timely fashion and I mean the next aircraft from ATL was 30hrs!!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS

Frontier handled this situation…

Frontier handled this situation extremely poorly. Our flight was originally scheduled for 1:55 PM and was pushed back to 5:36 PM — a delay of more than three and a half hours — yet there was no clear or consistent communication to passengers. The mobile app continued to show the original departure time, the airport departure board displayed a different time, and the only way to get updated information was to physically stand in line at the gate.The most frustrating part was the lack of leadership or transparency from the gate staff. A full plane of passengers stood in line confused, asking reasonable questions about when we were actually leaving. Instead of addressing the crowd with a clear announcement, the gate agent walked away while people were still waiting for answers. No explanation, no structured update, no effort to calm the situation — just confusion left hanging in the air.Delays are sometimes unavoidable in aviation. What is avoidable is poor communication, disorganization, and dismissive customer service. When an airline changes a departure time by several hours, passengers deserve proactive updates, accurate information across all systems, and professional conduct from staff. None of that happened here.At minimum, customers expect clarity and accountability. Instead, this experience felt chaotic and unprofessional. Frontier needs to seriously improve how it communicates during operational disruptions and how its staff manages affected passengers.

Always problems. Late or cancelled 1724

This company is Green because their planes never actually leave the Tarmac. What a joke. Tried them twice. Never again.

Total lack of any customer service

Total lack of any customer service. Costs are too high. To check a bag cost me $79. If you want snacks, a napkin or other standard items offered by other airlines you pay and pay. Never flying on Frontier again.

Never again in Cancun

I would like to start by saying that for the last ten years, I have flown almost exclusively Frontier. I have never had any issues with cancellations or “hidden fees”. For the last four years specifically, I have booked round trip from Philly to Cancun with Frontier, and again no issues until yesterday 2/10/26.We boarded our 1140 flight at 11 without issue. We pushed back earlier than expected and then sat on the tarmac for about three hours without air conditioning.The pilot had a team come out to us to fix it, but ultimately the crew timed out around 230. We had to deplane and took shuttles back to the airport. After sitting on the plane. In Cancun. Without air conditioning, we then stood on shuttles for thirty minutes without cell service and they would not let us off. While on the shuttle, the flight was cancelled. We were brought inside without further instruction and told to wait. Please note, we had no access to food or water at this time as there was nothing in this area and we were told we could not leave. My friend and I rebooked our flight with United. The email we received said we could rebook and to seek airport assistance to get our bags. I also called customer service to confirm this. When we approached an agent they told us we could notLeave. Frontier ended up rebooking us on a flight the next day, but we did not want it. We explained this to the agent and again was told we could not leave. Eventually, they told everyone that we were rebooked and were to be taken on a shuttle to a hotel they’re paying for. However, they would not tell anyone the hotel. We told them we would not be going with them and were basically told no you have to. We did go through customs with the whole plane, unclear why as we never left Cancun, and then waited for our checked bags, which did not arrive until 6 pm. Again pleaseKeep in mind there was no access to food or water during this entire thing. Even after we retrieved our bags the staff from frontier tried to tell us we were not able to leave. I did receive a refund for the second half of the flight but, the Cancun frontier staff need to be held accountable.
