I booked once. I got tot the airport with my family only to find out they

cancelled our flight. No email, text, nothing before we arrived. They agreed to refund our ticket, then it was a scramble to find a flight to Tennessee. We found one one, but to a different airport than what we had booked. We had to then change car rental arrangements. I will never book Frontier again.

Don’t EVER fly Frontier

I never have flown Frontier, and now I never will. What a nightmare.

The gate agents with Frontier at Denver are notorious for this

They must personally get a cut from the fees they charge

Frontier recently admitted the gate agents get COMMISSION on bag fees.

Yikes, what a horrible idea

Frontier was decent in the early 2000s, then they changed their business model and went in the crapper.

Indy Coug

6/8/23 10:28am

The problem was they made no money then. They were a bankrupt airline.

Maybe it's worked out for them, but I've refused to fly them since the change

I used to have to fly from SLC to Denver about every 2 months. Always Frontier

Yeah, that was the dilemma: middle seat for 4 hrs or a toddler.

6/8/23 11:29am

Why treat customers like that? Seriously deny boarding for 1/4" when they KNOW

6/8/23 10:35am

Agreed. Hence why I’m posting about it. Gotta make ‘em pay.

I'm guessing the gate agent hates kids and claims their dog is a child.

They're lousy, but that $29 SLC-Denver flight is tough to pass up

I barely survived one time on that short flight in those crappy seats. I hope

What can you do to prevent? Any repercussion or just pay up or drive?

Good call renting the Tahoe. . . Why not 4 family members fly and 1 drive Tahoe?

Zoobieman

6/8/23 10:40am

Good idea, but flying alone with 4 littles (including a 1 year old) is no picnic

Hiccupless

6/8/23 10:44am

Seems the only course of action these days is a detailed Tweet shaming them.

Pro Logic

6/8/23 10:47am

You should reverse charges on all the flights you had with them. You will win

JAGA97

My daughter had that happen. No problems leaving Salt Lake, but lots of crap the gate agent in Denver at her connection.

I've flown frontier several times... No problems at all.. Under $200 to fly to

Frontier has canceled flights on me twice now, minutes before departure

The only way to get action from them is to tweet about it

Nat Gas Man

6/8/23 11:18am

Yeah airlines don't like negative tweets, sadly they are quicker and better help

If you tweet this is a good thing to tweet at them - then some of us cbers

Ryanair did something similar to me once, hate them and will never fly them

Sorry. I had a bad frontier experience 5ish years ago & have sworn them off also
