I was a flight attendant for 20 years. Over 130 countries under my belt. I had to fly on other airlines to get to the flights I would be working. We were not allowed to use certain airlines to commute. Frontier was one of them as well as Aeroflot. So that kinda tells you something. And yes, if it is a mechanical delay the airline owes you hotel, meals and transportation plus anything else you had to pay to get to your destination or for toiletries, etc.

I've flown Frontier a few times, and it is bad. Ppl talk about spirit, but at least spirit tells u about fees and everything up front. I've seen so many people recently say that frontier has told them carry-ons are too big even though they are smaller than the size they have listed on the website, making them pay for extra checked bags. They don't tell you that if your flight has a connecting flight you need to go get your checked bag and recheck it. I've noticed a lot of this after we got told locally that our airport was trying to make airlines change policies for making families pay extra to have kids sit with their traveling adults. a couple years ago they didn't have all these extra fees

Hi! We Always book flights and hotels with American Express,they fight for you when anything goes wrong! Just put it in the card and then have 30 days to pay it all back, but the amount of real protection and reimbursement they give you for free is amazing with flights, hotels, car rentals, and even with daily purchases. Always use them. They could step in when the companies say No to reimbursement or compensation! Love your channel! ❤️

One of the downsides of flying budget airlines (and I am someone who loves Spirit) is that many of them don't have interline agreements with other airlines so if you get stuck they can't just put you on a different carrier.Some years back (I think it was 2008) American Eagle had to ground all of their flights on short notice on a weekday because of TSA orders and many people were stuck. I almost got stuck in Chicago where my layover was but thankfully they were able to get me another carrier (I think it was Us AIr but not quote me) and on the way home they once again put me on a different airline US Airways. Carriers like Southwest, Spirit, and Frontier do not have such agreements with other carriers so if they can't take you they can't help you get their with a carrier that can (this is part of what contributed to holiday meltdown at Southwest. Yes there were other issues but if they had an interline agreement they could have at least gotten some passengers to their destinations with different carriers. My poor sister spent two days trying to get to the east coast from Colorado)

I have also heard the horror stories about Spirit yet I had a wonderful experience with them. I was going to Vegas right before the pandemic and on the return flight we had to reschedule due to an issue with the plane. There wouldn't be another flight till the next morning and I was stressed out. The day before I pulled my hamstring and walking was extremely painful. Spirit comped me a room and gave me a food voucher on top of a wheel chair. I was so relieved, it didn't cost me a dime and I got a massage in my room (that I paid for). What could have ended terribly is nothing but a positive memory.

Spirit many times, during Hurricane Nathan 5 years ago I called Spirit to tell them I would be missing my flight because parts of the Pan American highway were gone, roads washed out and flooded, and their call center said they would not rebook me because their computer did not show bad weather in that area.

Sorry that happened to you. I had a similar experience the one time I flew them: my return flight was cancelled and I had to scramble to find other options. They DID give me a $300 credit to book a replacement flight. I ended up spending $450 total on American, and my nonstop became a connection. As much as you travel, get an American Express Platinum card. It pays for itself!

I've only flown on Frontier once in 2016. That one flight told me all I needed to know about their customer service. Never again!

We once loved Frontier and preferred it... and then... we got covid in the heart of the pandemic and had to cancel and reschedule our trip. We were told Covid was no excuse for canceling which meant they were promoting pasengers with a deadly illness during a pandemic to travel or lose their money. We literally had to send them our personal medical records to get our money back in the form of a voucher after filing a formal complaint. I'm not even sure that's legal for them to require personal medical records. During that time, the government was supplementing the airlines from income loss due to covid so Frontier was double dipping from customers, the government and then reselling seats at the last minute. After we used our voucher, we haven't flown Frontier since.

Oh no!!! I work for an airline and if they cancel your flight do to maintenance they Have to give you a hotel!!!! that is ridiculous!!

I'm with you, one and done. Hours delays going and returning. What kind of customer service is that - hanging up after 30 minutes and no accommodations offered? They don't have to provide accommodations but that may have changed your mind about them a little. I even had a problem where they were charging me twice for the same tickets. It took jumping through too many hoops. When I got through to someone, they were not helpful at all. I called my bank and they quickly took care of me (they sent me a claim form which I completed and returned). That have to be the only airline left for me to fly with them again. If others love it, then they can fly with them. Good for them. Have a beautiful day!

Thank you… you hold back your frustration well!! Thank you for sharing this terrible experience. Hope Frontier knows “who you are”. Because your words validated my “never fly Fronteir”.

Spirit and Frontier will never get my business. I've heard too many bad things. It's not worth the hassle.

According to reports I’ve read spirit and frontier tend to run neck and neck in worst place just barely ahead of jet blue. Glad you made it home safely

I've not had issues with the times I've flown Frontier but do know that due to limited flights one small thing can cause massive issues. Same with Allegiant-only fly them if it's NOT a huge issue to be somewhere on time (knock wood not had issues with them either). Definitely entitled to the frustration!!

I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME WITH SPIRIT AIRLINES...SO NEVER AGAIN WITH SPIRIT OR FRONTIER...NEVER!!!!!!!!😠

I've never had a problem with spirit, and flown them way more times than I can count. I've even had an incident where a spirit flight had to land unexpectedly in a snow storm, and I had to pay to take a train to get home. Not only did spirit refund my flight, but they had me send in my Amtrak receipt and they refunded that too. That was Feb of '19. Sorry to hear this bro, that's frustrating.

I feel the same when it comes to NCL. You could not pay me to go on their cruise. I was scammed and taken advantage of by them.

Your absolutely right!! Just came back from Vegas. Flight going was delayed 4 different times!!! Eventually we missed the flight because TSA CLOSED at 9pm at a major airport and when we arrived we couldn't get back to the plane boarding area!!! So were literally sitting in the front of airport and our frontier flight was out back another 2 hours!!! Then on the way home they wait till we check out the hotel, return the rental car, get to the airport( midnight flight), to say flight canceled and we aint giving out any accommodations!!! Customer service suck!!!! No flight credit, no nothing!!! Worst airline!!!!!!! They always leave you stuck and stranded!!!!!!!!

Sometimes trying to cut cost ends up costing more. Not to say that it doesn't happen in other airlines but at least the others will take care of you. Not the way you wanted to end a quick relaxing trip.

Exactly… there’s no way I’d fly them to begin with. Everyone has issues. It’s not like it was years ago. You want to fly with someone who has the air lift/power to get you out a particular city. I saw someone comment on here that they got to New Orleans just in time w/ Frontier to depart for a cruise that left from there. They probably declined trip protection on the cruise as well.

Yup, I had a similar experience in 2021 when I tried to go to ATL to MCO. They cancelled the flight and didn't even let us know until we were at the airport and had no other options for rebooking the same day. Cx was terrible, and we just ended up driving down to Orlando. They did give our money back and some flight credits which I never used. Never attempting to fly them ever again, first and last experience.

Frontier just sent a lady to Jamaica instead of Florida. That’s the gate personnel charging for too large a bag instead of providing service.

I used to love southwest, free bags and dependable. After a cruise they lost my bags and I didn’t get home til 3am instead of the 9 pm scheduled. The only reason I got home then was I booked business, others were just stuck. I only fly delta now.

I just flew from Ontario California, to a Orlando Florida Round Trip with frontier, about 2.5 weeks ago and they were the only airline that was giving a round trip ticket that was non-stop absolutely no issue both ways coming back on-time and a bit early. I feel like this could’ve been a bad day or I haven’t flown enough airlines, I hadn’t flown in like 10 years last flight was delta 10 years ago

Even worse is Flair. I was booked Ft Lauderdale to Toronto last January. No one at gate, no aircraft, no assistance. Aircraft was delayed, without notice, to next day. No hotel, no meals. No nothing. I quickly booked Air Canada. NO compensation from Flair. NO refund. SCREW them. I will NEVER fly Flair again. CROOKS.

WOW! Never had a problem with Frontier. When I went to Vegas and that happened to me they took very good care of me. Put me up in a hotel and gave me food vouchers and paid for my mr cab fare. Sorry that happened to you Jay. I have realized that Frontier and Spirit are getting a little too sketchy for me to travel with. Spirit keeps changing flight times on me without notifying me, which is crazy! So needless to say this will be the last time I’ll take spirit unless it’s like $10.

Frontier used to wait to see if more passengers show up. Incredibly frustrating.

I had booked frontier through a 3rd party. I showed up and the flight was cancelled. They told me it had been cancelled for a month…. No notice NOTHING… sadly enough 3 people found out it was cancelled as well. I have had nothing but bad experiences with this airline. I have vowed to never fly them nor spirit ever again.

Definitely reach customer service via email and lay out you request for refund. If no response, then hit them on social media, most companies respond swiftly to negative publicity unfortunately. Also, read the fine print on your contract as you may have been owed compensation due to the mechanical delay and can use that as leverage in your request for refund

Can’t blame you for feeling like this. Glad you got back safely.

Sorry to hear that bro. I flew out from FL that Friday after the Hurricane but my area didn't get much of the storm. Anyways, that's why I always book my trips with my Amex Platinum. They'll put you up in a hotel if your flight is delayed over 6hrs

It is sad to hear Frontier going down hill.. They gobbled up 2 other airlines we liked to fly with & are now trashing their history. I gotta use up my miles with them ASAP! Only non stop flights for me 😱👀

I also flew Frontier for the first time going to San Juan last year and my return was a nightmare!!! I had a TSA agent straight up tell me I was discriminated bc of my disability! There were no more flights I booked a last min flight also through Jetblue and then Frontier lost my bag when I got back and it was completely damaged! I got 0 of my money back except a refund for return portion. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! And terrible customer service. Ugh sorry to hear I’m not alone! Never again!!!!!!!!!

Spirit is definitely the worse. The one time I tried they cancelled. Had to drive 12 +home after my cruise Sat. They’ll never get the chance again. Ever!!!

Glad to hear you had a good time on your trip. Sorry to hear that you had to go through a real time experience in how cheap they are and how they leave you stranded when things go wrong (such as no replacement aircraft and not a flight every day). They don't put you on another airline's flight at their expense as you experienced. Any of the Big 5 Carriers would probably pay your overnight and meals because the cancellation was their fault, but I don't think Frontier does. It's hard to determine that on their website. I don't think Spirit or Allegient do either. I won't fly them because of that. When things go totally according to plan, they are less expensive, but when they fail, their passengers are totally on their own and pay a pretty penny for that. I hope you can at least get a refund on your unused Frontier Ticket.

That's exactly what happened to me and my mom with the same excuse about the wheel. They abandoned us in Puerto Rico and hid from us when we tried to find a representative. Long story short, I got my money back for the flight and the hotel. Caribbean people don't play that!

I booked a flight last year with Spirit for the first time because they were the cheapest option. They canceled my flight at the last minute. The flight was supposed to leave at 6:00 a.m. I got the cancellation at 4:30 a.m. . I had already booked the hotel and rental and shows so I decided to rebook with another airline. I ended up having to spend $800 one way to make up for the canceled $260 Spirit flight that I was never refunded for. When I called customer service they said they could not find my credit card information or that the credit card that I was giving them didn't match the credit card they had on file and so they never refunded my money. The credit card I used to book the flight expired and I didn't have it anymore. I will never fly with Spirit airlines again and will also avoid Frontier just to be in the safe side.

If the airline cancels due to their issues, not weather related, they OWE you meals, overnight. Passenger Bill of Rights passed in 2007 spells it out. There's a new one going through Congress right now to "refresh the airlines' memories."

Same thing happened to us with Frontier. Numerous delays and then they canceled the flight. The problem was that by the time they canceled, the tiny airport was closed and there was no one at any ticket counter. All calls went to the call center overseas and they offered flight credit. But nothing about rescheduling thr flight or hotel for overnight. Luckily American Express took care of us and paid for the hotel and Frontier put us on a flight the next day.

That's the only way these days. Corporations have deliberately eliminated customer service standards from their business models. Some might say that that's why so many CEOs jumped ship from 2019 to 2021. Their excuse is mostly we're short staffed. BTW I took Spirit last year, it was an ABSOLUTE nightmare for multiple reasons. Know what you guys are entitled to by US Dept of Transportation. I believe if we all knew the laws and requested what we were entitled to when they delay, cancel, whatever to flights, they would stop delaying and canceling flights. There's an allowance for toiletries, clothes, etc when they lose your bags and I believe the refund on your ticket should be higher than 100% of what you paid. Spirit left me in the dark trying to figure out how to file a lost bag claim - It can only be done online and I was not getting emails from them - a complete breakdown of technology occured - it was crazy - you could see emails about the 1st flight's delay and after that got no more communications for the entire trip and there after to find my bag! Could not file claims in person - exclusively ONLY online. I had to talk to a person over the phone or at the bag claims. Of course customer service phone was not accepting anymore calls most of the time as well. After I got back home, I went to the bag claim 2 times to see if they had the bag. It's an obvious complete breakdown of tech.

I agree with you. Myself I never fly Frontier or Spirit...I rather pay the extra money 💰 on another airline, but at least I fly the same day. It must've been frustrating that day, I feel you 🥵

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day an airline worse than Spirit exists!

The airline was responsible for rebooking you, your meals, accomodations and transportation to and from your accomodations. Missed a connecting flight in Mexico City after flying into the country on United, their gate supervisor saw I'd missed my flight and comped my room and meals PLUS personally took me to the $300 USD night room in Mexico. I love United and American Airlines customer service!!!! Contour Airlines is a great regional airline as well.

Just flew Frontier from SFO to ATL. Two hour delay, lots of turbulence, and the seats were terrible. Never fly with them again.

you could've taken a cruise in that time. LOL

Frontier my shit thou. Cheap af! It's like catching a ride with a co worker. I flown them to Philly last week flight there was smooth af! On time, no turbulence no noise. On The Way Back Bitch.. the weather was so bad here in Florida we couldn't land in Ft Lauderdale. The plane flew around the Bahamas for 2hrs until it needed gas so we landed at Maimi Int. I had a headache but the Prices Bih! Im back on in less than 2wks. Back to Philly

It happens not Just with Frontier.Its happening more and more with airlines in General

The only thing that will help this type of situation is if people stop giving in to the $20 fares. People are eating it up and then when shit hits the fan,they’re crying and upset about how bad the ULCC are.

They also don't tell you if they switch the gate! You have to keep your eyes on the flight time and date, gate from the moment you book until you fly and get back. smh SHAMEFUL. I hope I never have to fly Frontier again.

Frontier screwed up my name on the ticket which screwed up my precheck. We were stuck on the plane at the gate waiting while they checked the plane. Never again. Just wait you'll get nonstop emails from them for years now.

I agree I had a horrible delay experience with them also. Never ever again!!

I will never try to use Frontier again. I had a flight booked for a weekend, from Ft Lauderdale to Asheville. They canceled the flight without explanation and couldn't rebook me until Sunday...which defeated the whole purpose. 🤬🤬🤦🏾‍♂️

I'm old enough to remember when an airline customer service agent would book you a flight on another airline as a courtesy. Remember those days?

You sound like us! We cruised out of Tampa for New Years. Allegiant canceled our flight. We drove to Tampa- got there at 3 am. In March we sailed out of Miami. Again Allegiant canceled!

I guess they can book cheap flights every day if they don’t plan to actually fly anywhere! 😬

Oh man, J, they are call it Frontier airlines because they are flying Conestoga wagons. My first and last flight flight with them was a late night 5 hour to Vegas. Same kind of issues, boarded the plane. there was a computer issue, we had to deplane while they rebooted the plane. We were delayed 3 hours and arrived 2am Vegas time. The seats had absolutely no padding, it felt sitting through a 5 hour high school football game. It was cheap and we got there and back, but it was awful

I was just kicked off a flight with them because I wanted to complain how rude the attendant was to me. Accused me of being in the wrong seat, that was doubled book. I complained because he was rude, I was embarrassed, and I received no apology.

Sounds about right. Very similar situation I had with them first time flying flight was canceled ended paying more money to rebook on another airline.Thankfully my money was refunded fairly quickly from frontier. NEVER ever again will I get on another one of their planes!!!!

I took a short flight to Las Vegas from SFO, and i didn't like the experience. My husband was uncomfortable on the cardboard seats, the staff was rude. This was my first time flying with the airline and last time. It was a package deal and a nonstop flight. If anyone wants to try this airline, book a short flight because a long flight is probably more uncomfortable. You can't even talk to a person in customer service. it's all chat and takes forever to get in the queue. Then if you ask a question they disconnect you. And you have to start all over again. 😅

I sat on a tarmac for five hours on a plane that never took off only to be the asked to come back the next day, and when I got to the airport, the flight was canceled. I agree with everything you said the worst.

In the 70’s, Frontier was awesome. Food service was incredible. I still remember a fantastic Denver to Bismarck flight.

If the frontier Airlines customer service hangs up on me after 30 minutes, I will be pissed.

Sorry you went through this....Frontier should get you your money back 100%. Getting compensated for flying another airline is a bit more complicated bc technically they did offer you a way home (even if that was a ludicrous routing.) Every airline can have a bad day, but sometimes the cheapest option isnt always the best. Bigger airlines like JetBlue, American, Delta can and do screw up sometimes but they usually have multiple ways to get you from point A to point B when things don't go right. Remember, mechanical issues do happen and it is far better to be safe.

Frontier is the worst! I filed a complaint with the BBB, they promised to refund me, nothing

YOUR HOME ! and you have power... and plenty of ice. Pres. Biden was visiting PR that day too.. (?)

I'm sorry that happened to you...I'm telling you when something bad's gonna happen, it's gonna happen...I've flown with Fontier on like 5-6 trips Las Vegas-Miami and visa versa. I had my bad experience with a Lyft driver at Miami, where she dropped me off really, really far from the Frontier counter and I use a Wheelchair. Now I know that Miami.Airport is bad for wheelchairs.😒

I will never ever fly Frontier again. I had a lay over night in Denver and they lost my luggage. Every time, I called they would give me the run around. Someone finally told me my luggage was more than likely donate to charity. They are cheap but not worth it.

Life is always Ruff on the "Frontier!"

I was in a long line Sunday FULL of people swearing they would never take Frontier again, me included.

The problem is the Airlines like all big businesses have become greeder over time poor training and pay for it's workers.

Hi J, so glad you are home safe, and you have power. I don’t know if you ever addressed this, but would you consider traveling by rail, and reviewing? In the States there are fantastic sight-seeing, but abroad there are beautiful trains and sights. There might even be some nightlife on the ones not in the States. Just a thought, take care. 😊

I have flown Frontier before, and never had a problem.

Just got to a delayed flight to find out that our checked bag could no longer be accommodated as they over booked the flight. By the time I got to the parking lot and dropped our now not checked in bag, I missed the flight. My wife offered my seat and Frontier refused to give her the flight voucher as I was not on the plane. Amazing! The customer service is absolutely non existent. I will never fly frontier again. Please stay away and vote with your dollars. I will be working on a refund and filing a dispute in the charges with my bank.

J. Airport issues are so stressful. Sorry you’ve gone through all this hassle. Glad you’re home now. Oh yess. Electric on. Get some rest and see you next video.

I have to agree. They canceled my flight recently. First they said it was delayed an hour, then said it was “disrupted” got to the airport and they said it was canceled and there wouldn’t be another flight for two days later and they were not willing to offer any accommodations but a refund. Had to spend over 200 to book a flight home with another airline. There is no customer service you can only speak to a chat service that is unhelpful. I’ve learned my lesson no matter how short the trip or the price. It’s never worth it with frontier.

your stove needs a reset! Always pay with your credit card and contest the charges when they try to bill you.

I fairly recently flew from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Atlanta, Georgia. While in San Juan, they told me to go to the gate printed on my boarding pass. A few minutes after the boarding time I noticed that no one was boarding. Turns out my plane had switched gates but Frontier Airlines didn’t send any notice of the gate change. I almost missed my flight. Had I not flagged down an employee, I would have never known. You’d at least think that they’d let the passengers know but they didn’t. I’ll never fly with them again.

I have also had several problems with Frontier Air, so I no longer fly on Frontier either.

I constantly hear, "I am never flying them again." After Frontier runs a sale, they will sell out the plane. Most people only buy tickets based on cost. You booked on a ULCC. You should expect a discount experience. Pay more and fly Delta for a better experience.

Same with Spirit. They canceled my flight three different times. I was stuck in LA for four days because of Hurricane lan.

Frontier always has mechanical issues. Sad. Glad you made it to your final destination
