August 4, Buffalo to Philadelphia, My first trip with frontier and my last one. I learned that Frontier is a credit card company who also flies planes.
This experience was both predatory and abusive. My husband forgot his carry on and since they board first the paying customers, I was left behind with his carry on that I paid for when booking and though the agent saw him without a carry on she allowed him to board and then asked me to pay again. The agent was disrespectful and insisted that I could not board without paying again for the same carry-on bag. I was also told that I could request a refund by filing an incident report on your website. After landing in Philadelphia, one of their customer service agents, Sam, documented that we arrived with only one carry-on bag, for which I paid $76 at booking and an additional $99 before boarding in Buffalo.
This incident is compounded by the fact that we were stranded in Philadelphia for four days due to a flight cancellation. When we were finally able to board on August 8th, we were subjected to further delays: first, sitting in uncomfortable seats as we waited to take off, then returning to the gate for a passenger who wished to deplane, and finally waiting in line behind six other airplanes before taking off. We ultimately arrived in Ft. Myers at 1 a.m., after sitting in those plastic seats for 10 hrs. I could have been in Europe in 10 hrs
It’s clear that Frontier Airlines prioritizes profit over customer care. I feel compelled to share this experience online to warn others about your unethical practices. I will also be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, complains boards and sharing this on social media. No one should be treated like this by an airline.
Claimed loss: 100

Frontier Airlines really showed their true colors on your trip. From double-charging you for a carry-on to stranding you in Philadelphia for four days, they’ve made it clear that squeezing out profit is their main game. Ten hours in those uncomfortable seats? That’s more than enough to make anyone rethink their travel choices. Sharing your experience online and filing complaints sounds like a solid plan — others deserve the heads-up about what they might be getting into with Frontier.
