Hello.. is it my review you've been looking foooorrrrr? (In my best Lionel Ritchie voice).
So here we go. Now first off, I know danged well this is my own fault. Frontier Air is like a dirty K Mart in the sky. Only airline worse is Spirit, and that is like comparing Alabama to Mississippi in lowest education score. Both suck equally.
So I booked a flight back in March for my sons Vegas trip today, to help one of his friend celeb their birthday. So this is a first world situation, not the end of the world. But it still cost money, and was not a gimme, so we are allowed our expectations.
Booked through Expedia.com. That was my second mistake. First was even thinking about taking a flight on Frontier. It is a flying dumpster with a porta potty. Kind of flight where you feel as if you might have to take the wheel so the pilot can vape weed. It is the kind of flight no one fights on, because everyone is ready to throw down, so no one does.
They had the earliest am flights, so I booked them. on the 23rd, got an update from United, the trip back was via them, and had been changed. Okay. That is timely. But no changes from Frontier, So I checked. Sure enough, flight was changed to 10:45. Cutting it close, but still okay. Flash forward to last night, went in to check in. Confirmed for 10:45. Got to DFW in time at 8:45 am. Went to pull up a boarding pass and check a bag at the kiosk. Both Expedia and Frontiers online were glitching. I tried to get assistance from one of their employees from frontier, she was as useless as wings on a donkey. Useless to each person that stepped up to her.
She was telling us all the same thing, well you can pay $25 for help with an agent. $25, to talk to a ticket agent, when their app wasn't working for anyone, and we we're all seeing the connection. Rip off. So I went to the counter, told them we needed out bag checked and a pass. She said the flight had been changed to around 11 pm. WTF? The day would be over, and he had no use for the trip if he missed the event.
Stop here. I am on a rant and roll, no need you wasting time reading it. I appreciate you up to here, but the rest doesn't get any better, and you are a champion to make it this far. Save yourself. Stop reading here.

So you just had to ask for more? Okay then. I love ya for having heart.
I paid $25 to ask a question, so tell me, when it the next available flight out I can pay for? She said 6pm. "but it is booked up". Um, lady, did you not hear me ask for next "Available flight"? Never mind the flight had now moved 3 times, without once being notified. Not once.
She says for $99 I can get him on one at 12:05 pm. Um, less than intelligent copulator of the family matriarch.. I asked if you had any available flights. I did not ask for free, so you could have said yes, we have one at 12:05, and will charge you $99 for our mistake, plus $25 for wasting my time, and money.
Paid it, took the kid to Wafflehouse since we have a delay.
Frontier. Carpet on the flights look like they were ripped out of a trap house. In fact, I am sure in some cities, condemned buildings have better carpet. Musty. I think it is called frontier, because the planes remind you of when the west was first settled. Dusty wagon train feel about it. I wouldn't be shocked if they served beans over a campfire for the inflight snack. Think of the fart scene from the movie Blazing Saddles.
My last time trusting a cut rate airlines. No, Delta and United are almost as bad, but at least they cost more. Hahahhaa.. I will stick with American from here on. With them, you get what you pay for. You can get the same rates or better if you use Costco, or your Citi Rewards Visa.
Frontier. Yes, an ariline fit for a blind buffalo roaming the plains, not planes. I would sooner walk on a road paved with glass and poo, than book a flight on frontier, or have to approach their counter for help. Like the movie Soul Plane, but in real life. I am Black, so don't come at me with the BS. That was a good movie, but not good in reality for an actual arilines. Flintstones flew better with a basket strapped to the back of a Pterodactyl.
Seems like the policy of the Frontier Airline is to bait and switch customers. Well they are master baiters. I hope they someday go out of business. A new company will buy out the planes, and do a better job. I hope everyone in the chain gets fired, and their kids forget how to read. I hope every cup of water they drink tastes like the frontier did back in 1836, of Buffalo dung and rodent scat. To all those doing their best in a bad company, I hope they are poached by a better airline so they can go on and be their best selves. They deserve way better, and I do not blame anyone working for a living, that are hamstrung, but those that go out of their way to deceive or abuse customers, buffalo dung, rodent scat. Not even the fresh variety, dusty.
Peace y'all. read more
