    I was flying back home, and in the process of delays and trying to contact my job, I missed the flight. I got help from Linda H. Who was working the rebook counter. The first time I dealt with her, my flip flop sandals broke and she helped me repair them quickly. The second time she assisted me, was after I missed my flight, she was able to rebook me for a reasonable price and help calm me down. I hope this gets back to her, she helped me so much. She was a true blessing.

    My trips with Frontier have been direct flights with carry-on luggage only, so I haven't had any experience with checked baggage. The flights have always departed on time. The service provided by the staff at the airport and on the plane has been excellent—everyone was very friendly.

      I genuinely have never had such a frustrating travel experience in my life until flying with Frontier, but I also have never been more grateful for two people who completely turned everything around and made us end our trip on an AMAZING note (TYAUNA ** & NATASHA **). After our flight from Cancun was canceled, we were left dealing with lost luggage for HOURS. We were told to wait in random areas, ignored, given no real updates, and repeatedly told “10 more minutes” for over five hours straight. At one point, we were even taken to a back room and waited there with no real explanation. No one was helpful, no one communicated, and we were ultimately forced to leave without our bags because we were getting nowhere.

      When we got back to Atlanta, it honestly didn’t get much better at first. We called countless Frontier representatives and got no answers, no help, and no sense that anyone even understood what was going on. We were exhausted, stressed, and had been traveling all day without any of our belongings. THEN we met TYAUNA ** (ATL Baggage Supervisor) and NATASHA ** (ATL Baggage Agent), and they completely changed everything. From the moment we spoke to them, they were kind, patient, and actually listened. Within 5 minutes, they were able to locate our luggage, something no one else had been able to do AND arranged for it to be shipped directly to us the very next day. They even gave us hygiene kits when we were clearly in need, which meant more than I can even explain.

      After being treated so poorly for so long, their compassion and professionalism stood out so much. They didn’t just do their jobs, they went above and beyond to help us in a moment where we truly needed it. Frontier as a whole made this experience extremely stressful and disappointing, but Tyanna and Natasha are the reason it ended on a positive note. They deserve real recognition for how they treat people. Thank you both so much for your kindness and help. We will never forget it 🤍 PS: They are truly the only reason we’d fly Frontier again. I inserted a photo of my face after they helped us and how happy I was.

      Tyauna **, (ATL Baggage Supervisor), and Natasha **, (ATL Baggage Agent), were INCREDIBLE!! Frontier lost mine and my friend's luggage during our trip and nobody in the Cancun Airport, (where it was originally lost), was helpful or knew what to do. Side note- the luggage was “lost” inside the cancun airport and they had us wait nearly 5 hours for somebody to try to “find” it and kept saying “10 more minutes and we will have your bags”. They even took my friends to the sketchy back rooms and said they would be there, (they were not). Anyways, after eventually having to leave the bags and hop on our next flight to our final destination, (ATL), we called nearly ten people from Frontier who had zero idea how to help and kept talking to us in circles. They didn’t even know flight times, my friends and I had to LOOK THEM UP for the people on the phone.

      Anyways, after giving up, we drove back to the airport and went to the lost baggage office for frontier and met the ANGELS themselves, Ms. ** and Ms. ** and they were able to locate the bags IMMEDIATELY. They knew exactly what they were talking about and were so kind to us. They were upbeat and friendly, exactly the sort of people you would want helping you when you are feeling desperate and filthy after not being able to brush your teeth for like 36 hours (since you packed your toothbrush in your lost luggage), and even gave us complementary hygiene kits for that purpose. 10/10 customer service. These ladies are awesome and deserve all the praise. Thank you both!!

      I had the worst experience ever, the front desk check in person was rude. When I patiently waited to ask a question regarding my boarding pass she said, "I am not awake yet. Come back later." On the plane they were pushing for sales by walking up and down the aisle asking you to sign up for their credit card. They only had 1 working bathroom for all these people on the plane and they didn't even offer water to anyone. I will never fly this airline again. I would rather pay a higher price for an airline that respected customers. I won't even give this airline 1 star. The experience was that poor.

      My experience with Frontier Airlines was extremely frustrating from start to finish. First, Frontier separated my wife and me during seat assignment. While that issue was eventually corrected, the process was unnecessarily stressful. During check-in, the app repeatedly rejected my baggage request, even though I only needed a carry-on bag, my child's car seat, and one checked bag. We spent nearly two hours trying to get everything sorted out, and by the time it was resolved, we had only 58 minutes left before our flight.

      The problems didn't end there. When we arrived at our final destination, Frontier had lost my child's car seat. When I called customer support, I was told that I had signed a waiver and that Frontier could not help me. Instead, I was told to speak with TSA. There was nobody at the Frontier service desk, and I was informed that Frontier did not have a baggage service representative available.

      Thankfully, TSA helped locate a Frontier employee. After a lengthy and frustrating discussion, the employee eventually found our car seat and informed us that it had been left at a different gate. Traveling with a child is stressful enough without having to worry about seating issues, baggage problems, and missing essential items like a car seat. Based on this experience, Frontier's customer service, baggage handling, and communication fell far below my expectations. Never fly Frontier or accept anything from them.

      Only putting 2 stars because of the hospitality the flight attendants gave, and the pilots genuinely try their best. The rest of the overall experience is awful, aircraft is always jam packed, customer service is never helpful, we had to do a new flight because they kept delaying it but then closed their gate 20 minutes early, and on top of the extra costs to spend another night and the agent didn’t even bother to give decent advice or apologize, the delays are ridiculous, and we sit an extra 2-3 hours just for their convenience and poor planning. Awful airline, please stay away from them. Plus, the turbulence was never an issue, and on this flight was the only one I’ve experienced turbulence on.

      I would rather walk to my destination if I have to than take this flight again. The people are so rude, and mean. They were mistreating and yelling at an old lady in a wheelchair and when I spoke up for her they ignored me in the check-in.

      I put 1 star because I wasn’t allowed to put 0. Bad experience started from going into security line when my boarding pass didn’t reflect my tsa status. But as soon as I was at the gate it miraculously updated. Second I went in line to try to change our seats since I never had experienced so many people seated separately. I bought tickets together with daughter and got 36 and 16. I got shut down immediately no even given the choice to purchase a seat when I approached the employee. Then we sit in our seats and everyone is asking to switch with their families. One couple switched from 16 to 34. Another whole family chose to get off the plane because the staff was so rude. I found to free seats on 35 b and c but I am told we have different categories and 16 cannot sit move back into 35 to be closer to family! Never in my life heard of such a thing. It was all just economy.

      This has been the WORST travel experience I’ve ever had, employees at door D4 on 6/4/26 BWI time 8:52 am had the most unprofessional customer service engagement with several customers. They are inconsistent and it showed the lack of information the male seemed to be the marshal instilling the ‘laws’ along with threats of a passenger not making her flight because she was voicing her frustrations regarding the information spoken of by one employee that her bag was find then told it wasn’t by the male employee. He was rude telling the lady “you need to shut up," when she said “no I won’t and you don’t tell me to shut up.” He then responded, "You’re not going to make the flight," so threatening and provocating; non professional at any rate. Actually minus one.

      I wouldn't give any stars if it was an option. They caused me to almost miss my flight. Then charged for three checked bags when I only had two. Won't refund the money for the extra bag that I didn't have. The customer service at the airport wasn't helpful at all they told us they would have to charge us money to help with anything. Frontier is the worst experience flying.

      GoWild pass is a total scam and waste of my money! I spent $199 thinking I'd be flying throughout the summer to visit my grandchildren. I ended up spending an additional $195 for roundtrip flights. So, a supervisor said in order to get the $0.01 plus $15 taxes and fees fare as advertised on GoWild, you have to book no more than 24 hours in advance otherwise you have to pay early booking fees. You cannot cancel prior to 7 days in advance, otherwise you are charged cancelation fees. I booked 3 days prior and was charged early booking fees. I look for flights 24 hours prior and the same fees apply. The supervisor said I couldn't cancel GoWild and get a refund because I booked a trip while having the GoWild although, I didn't reap the benefits because I was charged early booking fees. My advice, if you have to fly Frontier, stick to Discount Den! I'm extremely disappointed. Displeased. Dissatisfied. All the ✔️ boxes for DON’T DO IT!

      We never imagined that my family's vacation would begin with being removed from a Frontier Airlines flight because my husband has a disability. My husband relies on an FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrator to travel safely. Rather than treating him with dignity and working to accommodate his medical needs, they refused to allow his FAA concentrator on board and refused to accept his doctor's documentation. Frontier staff handled the situation in a way that left us feeling singled out, embarrassed, and discriminated against.

      Because we could not leave my husband behind, our entire family of six was forced to deplane. We were left shocked, humiliated, and scrambling to figure out how to ensure we could get our destination. Passengers with disabilities should not be made to feel like a burden for needing medically necessary equipment. Families should not have their travel plans destroyed because an airline fails to appropriately address disability accommodations.

      We are sharing this experience because no passenger should have to worry that using life-sustaining medical equipment will result in being removed from a flight. Frontier needs to do better in training its staff on disability rights, accessibility, and customer care. Frontier did not adequately address the issue when spoken to. I just hope Frontier executives review what happened and ensure that no other family experiences what ours did.

      Well the flight was almost reasonably priced. But! I spent $75 for a bag but Frontier is 40lbs max when I thought it was standard 50lbs so I was charged $75 Extra!

      Then I was charged an additional $75 to talk to a station agent and having them print our 3 tickets for us because no kiosk for them at the airport. So I guess do online check-in to avoid retarded fees because they probably hope to fire staff to save a buck.

      Frontier Airlines author review by Erika Armstrong

      Founded in 1994, Frontier Airlines now launches more than 375 flights each day to destinations throughout the U.S., Mexico and Jamaica. Today, this relatively new airline employs more than 3,000 aviation professionals.

      • Get the works: Frontier Airlines offers a package price that includes services such as refund-ability, free change service, priority boarding, extra carry-on and checked bag allowance and more.

      • Exclusive discounts on fares: Travelers who join the Frontier Airlines Discount Den get access to low-rate fares only available to members. Members can book flights for up to six people on the same subscription.

      • Manage flights online: Through the Frontier website, travelers can check in, book flights, make changes and check on the status of their flights.

      • Economy-plus options: Get the same low fares on economy-class seating but nab an extra 5 to 7 inches of legroom with stretch-seat options. A small additional fee gives passengers that little bit of extra space.

      • Choose your seat: Many airlines have moved away from assigned seating, but on Frontier passengers can select a seat that lets groups stay together in the air.
