    I am a medical student in Omaha and took a quick trip out to Durango with friends. The airplane broke down before the scheduled departure, the mechanic was not available, I missed my connection in Denver and have been here for the last 24-27 hours. Apparently Frontier does not work with other airlines - or other airlines don't work with Frontier. The two men at the gate where I was on standby were less than courteous, the ladies at the customer desk were nice but unhelpful. They have no way of c..

    I took a one way Frontier flight from Denver to Miami a couple weeks ago to help my girlfriend drive back to Denver with her belongings so we could start our new life together. I can say now that everything is going wonderfully, but it had an inauspicious start to say the least.

    It became apparent at the beginning of this flight that we had a pretty unusual passenger list, at least half of the passengers were clearly members of a motorcycle club. I could tell by the copious amount..

    $2 for a soda, $2 to pick your seat (which you can't get around if you're booking your flight online), and you pay for CARRY ON bags. If you can't manage to cram your carry on into the device they have at the gate that determines if your bag is considered a carry on by size, then it's $50 (MANDATORY) to check it at the gate. When I asked for a glass of water to make a bottle for my infant daughter during the flight, they charged me for it. Taking a 4-hour flight and plan to watch the in-flight m..

    The Sky Harbor ticket counter was horrible. Not only did we have to wait on them for 15+ minutes when they did show up they sauntered like they had all day. No comments to anyone about our wait. We happened to be first and actually got our bags tagged after the sixth person in line behind us. The gal "helping" us was rude and I swear moving as slow as she could. Maybe I should not have said anything about being there first! I have over 200k frequent flyer miles-Southwest here I come!

    Flight delay from 6:55 pm departure to 12:20 am next day was falsely attributed by Frontier agents to "weather delay of incoming flight from Seattle." However, (1) Seattle flying weather was excellent all day. (2) Frontier website showed all Seattle-Denver flights arrived on time that day. (3) Frontier evidently switched the designated equipment (from incoming Seattle-Denver flight 140, arriving approx. 4:30 pm) to a different route, possibly one that did encounter a weather delay -- and (4) mad..

    we booked seats on frontier 3 in a row for my husband, 2 year old son and i. Frontier screwed up the boarding passes and put my 2 year old in a row with strangers, my husband in another row and me in a 3rd row. although passengers were willing to switch the pilot/stewardesses were not willing to let us make changes because they were in a rush to leave.

    Attendant took our itinerary, asked us to measure our two bags. They were fit the smaller frame which was 18 x 14 x 8. But she insisted on that we need to have them checked-in. And looked at her watch, said the gate will be closed in 5 minutes... She says if we did not pay $50.00, we would be paying $70.00 when boarding at the gate. We thought that Frontier Airlines did not allow any personal belongings to get on the airplane. So, we hurriedly but reluctantly gave her the credit card paying $50...
