"they have no customer service"

(United States)

Not Verified | I had to pay to get a seat after booking the ticket, I had to pay to take a carry on, I opted not to pay for the opportunity to speak to a representative and that was not smart with this cut rate airline. The unfriendly online booking put most of the emphasis on trying to get me to purchase a deal to get me cheaper rate, which I did and was it not applied. My TSA Pre-check was not applied either, but since I didn’t pay extra for the privilege of being able to call someone, I timed out on the chat several attempts and was unsuccessful in any contact after several hours of trying. There is no phone number to call after booking and if you don’t get the booking right online after paying so much extra for things included on economy airlines you are just out of luck. They boast about being a green airline, but that just means they have no customer service and a rude airline staff. They also nickel and dime customers for things that are normally included on reputable airlines. As unscrupulous as they are, I would be willing to bet Frontier starts charging for using the restroom in -flight. Never again!

"flight home was cancelled"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Worst airline ever! My flight home was cancelled and Frontier did nothing but leave me and boyfriend stranded. I called several times and one of the people even hung up in my face. The next person I talked with wanted to charge me $950 to get my boyfriend and myself back home. What I couldn’t understand is why I would I have to pay when my flight was cancelled? This totally unfair and you shouldn’t treat your customers like this. I'll never book with you again.

"I would rather pay more and get better service"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Frontier Airlines has been the worst airline company I've ever worked with. They have zero customer service and you will wait in line for hours to speak to someone. I missed a flight going from Orlando to Cincinnati because Frontier listed the incorrect gate number on our boarding passes. We waited at gate 111 for hours until I asked someone and they said our flight was actually leaving from gate 11 and our boarding passes were incorrect. We were late to the gate because Orlando airport is a mess and you will wait in the TSA line for hours at a time. Frontier did not care that they listed the wrong gate on our passes and were very rude about the whole situation. Then I waited in line for additional services at Frontier for hours before speaking to someone. They had 3-4 Frontier personnel working with people until right before 5 pm and then they all disappeared at one time and didn't return to the desk for over 40 minutes. I will never fly Frontier again, I would rather pay more and get better service. I highly recommend against this airline.

"the worst experience I have ever had!"

(United States)

Trip Verified | My flight was delayed 3 times starting at 6pm. At almost 9pm the flight was cancelled with no flights departing until 2 days later. I was offered a $50 voucher with accommodations and every employee was rude! I was then given a “refund voucher” that had to take 7 business days to see if I was eligible even after the fact that Frontier cancelled on their end! I lost money on my original vacation hotel stay and was charged a fee for cancelling my car rental! This was the worst experience I have ever had!

"Extremely poor service"

(United States)

Trip Verified |  Return flight cancelled 12/23/22. Tried to rebook. Made a mistake in booking 12/23 and immediately cancelled flight. Frontier took almost $900 out of my account for rebooking and guarantees full refund. I have not received a refund as of 1/14/22. I have yet to receive a refund for the cancelled flight home that was pre booked either. There are no Humans to talk to in customer service. Extremely poor service.

"a very dismissive attitude"

(United States)

Trip Verified |  I fly Frontier very frequently and am an elite member so I am familiar with their onboard services. I fly from RDU to Philly every other other weekend and the flight is always 51-59 minutes. I flew up on the flight last night and was very pleased with the equipment. That flight is usually a A320 but last night was a sparkling A321 and the flight was right on time. I was disappointed with the flight attendants though. On this flight they do not routinely do a beverage service but sometimes they do. But they always at least will sell you something if you ring your call bell. I actually personally asked the flight attendants for service and was told that due to the short duration of the flight they could not serve me. I have taken this flight 16 times in the last 8 months and never was not or did not see service upon request. One more thing I observed was a young woman was going to the forward bathroom and the flight attendant refused her access to the bathroom and said we were landing in 2 minutes. We were at least 15 mins from landing and there was zero turbulence at that point. My feeling is this- they just did not want to get up and do their job and had a very dismissive attitude.

"Avoid at all costs"

(United States)

Not Verified | Terrible airline. Cheap tickets but not worth it because they will charge you fees. Horrible workers and customer service. Avoid at all costs! Horrible.

"poor customer service policies"

(United States)

Not Verified | Talk about poor customer service policies and scheduling! My wife and I fly 2-3 times per year, and have flown with several different airlines over the years. Our recent experience with Frontier is the worst we have ever experienced. Our flight was scheduled January 2 from Ft Lauderdale to Phoenix. When we went to check in 24 hours prior to our flight, we found that our flight was rescheduled and was to depart 5 hours earlier than scheduled. No justification for the change was given, but luckily we were able to easily adjust our schedule, but many travelers were certainly not as flexible. When we arrived at the airport, we found that the flight was delayed an hour, and it was delayed again and was finally, unfortunately, canceled. Again, no justification was given. I noticed that another flight was about to leave for Phoenix in a half-hour. I spoke with the Frontier gate agent about getting on that next flight, and she said that was not possible because she wasn’t able to sell me a ticket. I said that we didn’t need other tickets; we just wanted to fly standby? Again, she said that wasn’t possible and said that we needed to reschedule our flight using their online chat. We found it very frustrating that Frontier didn’t have a phone number to speak with a real person (undoubtedly to save money). We spent the next 2 hours trying to reschedule our flight using their chat line, which was no help (again a way to save money). For example, unless you tap their chat line every minute you lose your connection and have to start all over again. In desperation, we finally visited the ticket counter and were able to reschedule our flight for 2 days later. We boarded our rescheduled flight, following 2 more delays. When we reached our layover in Atlanta, my neighbor told me that many airlines were compensating travelers for hotel costs and per diem because of canceled flights. I checked with the Atlanta's Frontier gate agent, and she said that I should have received a cancelation email and that I was supposed to handle this issue using their online chat. I told her that we didn’t receive a cancellation email (certainly a way to avoid compensating passengers), and I showed her my chat that said that I was supposed to contact an airline agent in person. Then, she gave me the old runaround and responded that I should have inquired about compensation at the Ft Lauderdale airport. Now I was real mad, and said that it shouldn’t matter what airport I was in, that they were all part of the same airline. I boarded the flight in frustration, vowing to never fly with Frontier again.

"Terrible experience"

(Peru)

Trip Verified | Terrible experience, the airplanes are uncomfortable as hell. I experienced a lot of issues with the itinerary as well. If that wasn't enough, the application does not work well most of the time.

"lack of customer service was appalling"

(United States)

Not Verified | On 12-30-2022 TPA TO GRR flight 2510 original flight departure time 4:36pm - delayed to 6:30pm, we understand that the weather was bad. We got to the airport early and there were no kiosks to print out our tickets and they would not pull up online. The lady at the checked bag counter could not get our tickets printed and was very rude. We almost missed our flight because they tried to make us get in line to check our bags even though we didn't have checked bags. They finally got them printed and we rushed to the gate. While standing in line the airline manager aggressively told our party that we needed to check 4 bags and we had too many. We talked to him in a reasonable way and he demanded that it at least we had to check 3 bags even if they were small enough to be personal items. He was very disrespectful and yelling loud enough to humiliate us in front of the other passengers. We showed him that our bags were small enough to fit as personal items, putting them into the personal item measurement tool. after we demonstrated the first bag fitting in the measurement tool he said "I am not going to let you measure anymore, you have to pay for at least two bags or you can't get on the plane!". After we proved the first one fit, he prevented us from measuring the other bags by standing in the way of the measuring tool. He told us that they would leave and we would miss our flight. He forced us to pay $198 to check two very small bags. He was so angry that he wouldn't let us on the plane two different times and the flight attendants and ladies at the gate had to re-open the door to the boarding bridge after he closed it. We got to the airplane and he closed the airplane door in front of us and said to stay there and wouldn't let us in again even though we paid so much for the two bags. They said they had to check and see if there was enough room on the plane, even though we purchased our tickets online a month in advance. The boarding passes already had our seat numbers on them (31 A, B and C). Then they changed our seats to (9 E, F, and G) there were so many empty seats that people took their un-checked bags and were putting them above other people's stowing areas because there was so much space. The all the rushing to make sure we paid our bags was pointless because the plane still was delayed another 30 minutes on the tarmac. We were polite and just wanted to make our flight. The lack of customer service was appalling.
