Because you pay for everything, even your carry on.

Thought I had a steal at $100 round trip between Nola and San Antone in March. Then my return flight got cancelled an hour before boarding.

They only fly SA to Nola twice a week. I had to book through American with a long arse layover. Got into Nola after 1:00 am. I'm also still waiting on my reimbursement check for the price difference.

This. Used them once to go to Denver(HQ?) and they go out of their way to make you feel not special.

I feel I've typed this 1000+ times but you get what you pay for. If you understand that only a book sack is fine and a carry on/check-in is extra plus there are less room and no free snacks then it is a great value. If you need that to fly then choose someone else.
I fly Spirit a lot and I've flown frontier and never an issue

Yeah if you know what you are getting into and know how to pack a small bag it’s great for getting to where you need to go for cheap.

Frontier isn't bad, you get what you pay for. Just remember they will nickel and dime you for everything. No free drinks or snacks on the plane. A carry-on is $40. The seats are smaller. It costs money to choose your own seat. The seats are just hard plastic with a thin vinyl cover on them. The planes are usually packed with people. DO NOT miss your flight with them. Your options will be slim.

They mostly fly Airbus 320s I think.

I have flown Frontier many times. Very new planes, very polite and friendly flight attendants, flights were on time except for a couple of weather delays. I did not pay extra to choose my own seat. I paid extra for certain premium seating such as exit row, or seats near the front. Yes you pay for luggage and carryon and drinks and snacks so I take my own water and snacks.

Skimping on maintenance and charging for literally everything else on the flight.

Good luck with that landing!



Frontier Along with Spirit have the newest planes of all the major airlines, newer planes mean less major maintenance. And like all the major airlines they outsource maintenance. The same people working on American and Delta planes are probably working on Frontier planes.

Frontier is running A320NEOs out of LFT sometimes. They have a young fleet.

You can avoid paying carry-on baggage fees by not paying them and ignoring it. Ive flown many times with a backpack and duffel and no one has ever said a word to me about it.

I usually bring a backpack and my work bag on trips. I tried to pay once at MSY and the worker said not to worry about it, since then I haven’t even tried. I’ve taken Frontier at least 5 times since then with no issue.
