okay look, the fees for a carryon shouldn't be more than I paid for the flight. 100 some odd dollars for a carry on when the flight was about 90$ is criminal. highway robbery. safe flights. comfy enough for the flights. cheap if you don't have a carry on. the staff is nice, and polite and try to be as accommodating as they can. however they do have to enforce the rules of their corporate overlords. read more

If you are flat broke and beyond desperate this is the option right below Greyhound. Indianapolis employees are so rude and unqualified with zero training. The FAA certainly looks the other way when reviewing this company's policies and procedures. read more

This was my first -- and absolutely my last -- experience flying with Frontier. I was traveling with the exact baggage allowed: one backpack (smaller than the permitted dimensions), my laptop bag, and a small fabric pouch worn cross-body that contained essential medications -- nitroglycerin, an asthma inhaler, and my pill case -- plus a tiny wallet with my ID. At the gate, an agent aggressively insisted that this small medical pouch counted as a "third bag." I explained calmly what it was and why I needed it, but he gave me two choices: pay for it or throw it away. Those are not choices for a passenger carrying life-saving medication. In the rush, I tried to stuff the pouch into my backpack. The zipper got caught on a piece of clothing and tore. Now the bag would not close properly. They then forced me to put it in the baggage sizer, and because it wasn't closing, I had to literally force it down. When it didn't slide in "easily," they told me to go back, fix it, or pay. At this point my blood pressure was through the roof. I was humiliated, stressed, and nearly missed my flight. In fact, I was the last passenger to board. No passenger should be treated this way, especially over a tiny pouch holding medication that clearly doesn't fall under "excess luggage." The staff was rude, inflexible, and showed zero compassion or common sense. On my return trip, I flew with Spirit -- and the difference was night and day. Friendly, reasonable, and professional. Spirit is now my go-to low-cost airline. Frontier will never see me again. read more

I had a terrible experience with Frontier Airlines on September 1, 2025, flying from Indianapolis to Tampa (Flight 4960). As one of the last to board (Zone 3), I was stopped at the gate by an extremely rude staff member who demanded to see my boarding pass, then immediately told me I had "too many bags" because I had a small crossbody purse in addition to a backpack. I was forced to cram the purse into the backpack, which made it too bulky--and was then told that now I had to pay $99 for a second personal item. I had zero time to question or resolve this because they were closing the gate. The same bag setup caused no issues at all on my flight from Tampa just days earlier, so this felt arbitrary and predatory. This wasn't a misunderstanding--it felt like extortion at the gate. I had no warning, no consistency, and no real choice. Between the rude staff, inconsistent policies, and last-minute fees, this was by far the worst airline experience I've had. I've flown budget airlines before and understand the model--but this was just shady. I'll never fly Frontier again, and I'll be sharing this experience everywhere I can to warn others. read more

Three for three flights in a row cancelled. Arrive at airport. Wait. 15 minutes before boarding the flight is cancelled. Gate sign says flight cancelled. No help to be found. No one answering the phones. Few days later get a refund with a $100 voucher. This same thing happened to me, my son and my wife. All on different days at different airports. Can't fly Frontier even if I wanted to. They don't fly they only cancel flights. I pray this is not the future customer service for air travel. read more

Had a flight from Las Vegas. Price was reasonable even after paying to pick a seat and paid for carryon and a checked bag. The flight was delayed an hour and a half for some maintenance. That can happen to any airline. They were giving vouchers for 5 people to give up their seat. People got on the plane then they had to move people off. Double booked seats plus people had boarding passes for row 31 and there wasn't a 31st row . How does that even happen? Luckily people were calm and nice. Flight attendants were pleasant. The seats are VERY uncomfortable!!! Laptop backpack doesn't even fit all the way under the seat. The seat back trays are about 3"x6" and metal. That was a one and done for us. read more

Indianapolis & Denver locations: Frontier has a new policy of they do not staff their check in areas continuously and will not let you check a bag in if it is within 45 mins of your flight. They also seem to under staff their check in areas and set up arbitrary times for you to check in your bags. They will make you miss your own flight if you don't meet their ridiculous time schedules. TL;DR seems like frontier is cutting corners and customers are missing flights because of their choices. I won't be flying frontier air anytime in the near future. read more

Frontier Airlines - Empty check in area with a lame sign that shows the time for check in - Airlines Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Beware of booking a flight with Frontier Airlines. I have been trying for cancel a flight for a week and was told I have to go to chat, which I did and was told they were busy. Kept the Chat open for 7 hours with no response. Sent a email and so far no response after 5 days. Did get a note, twice, Sorry, technical issues, try again. Did get a notice from Frontier Airlines, "To keep fares low, we will no longer have live agents available, Use Chat." read more

One star in generous I will never and I mean ever fly with Frontier. They charged me 185.00 per bag to check bags. I honestly regret not canceling my flight and asking for a refund. read more

WORST AIRLINE EVER!!!! Made my family, two child, 1 year and 9 years old, our flight was canceled in Grand Rapids, made us drive 5 hours to Indianapolis to catch a flight next day. Arrived and try to check in, was told that flight is over sold and that we are promised seats!!!! WTF!!!!! You made us drive 5 hours and can't promise us tickets. This is my sons spring break. Please fly with other airlines that knows what they are doing and have other alternative. Will never fly Frontier never again!!!!!!!! Don't recommend!!!! read more

FUCK these clowns. Cancelled our flight 2 hours before hand, won't put a person on the phone, refusing to pay for a hotel for a SINGLE night due to the mishap. I understand now why everyone said to stay away. Terrible customer service. Way to ruin the one week of vacation I get per year. read more

We were in line for four hours. They sent us to four different dates. They canceled our flight without any notification at all. Did not even desire to get us on another plane did not even desire to put us up in a hotel. Your customer service is rude and unattentive. Worst experience I've had in flying in my life will never go with frontier again. read more

I wish I could give them negative 5! Worst. Airline. Ever. Couldn't check in online, despite a link emailed to me; charged me for a carry-on --$55.00! Then the gate agent who was completely disrespectful in his announcements, said he would be boarding the plane from the back -- and despite 40 rows of seats, calls "31-10". I went up and asked, "you said from the back, right?" "Yes" "Well I'm in row 38." "So get in line." So I sighed and picked up my bags. The sigh must have triggered this guy because he immediately puffed out his chest, got in my personal space, face to face and said, "I'm the last guy you want to be messing with!" Now completely shocked and feeling physically threatened, I replied, "Is that how you speak to a customer?" I have NEVER been treated this way by any airline, even in the worst experience. The gate agent responded by getting in my face again, taunting me. Telling me I was being disrespectful (I wasn't). He the invited me to step out of line to which I agreed and asked to speak to a supervisor. He responded by yelling at me that he "was a supervisor." "Well then I want to talk to your boss" "I am the boss." Finally I just got back in line and boarded the plane. First time -- and last time -- flying this garbage airline! read more

Big shout out to Janet, super kind, super courteous. Thanks Janet for the great service today to vegas! I hope i don't lose all my money!!

Terrible experience overall. Had an "error" for my booking, went to the customer service desk for help and no one was there for almost an hour. By the time I get through security my flight which says "on time" on all apps and flight logs is over 5 hours delayed. I was told I will not receive a voucher or refund for this delay. I will not be flying frontier ever again as the customer service and communication has been atrocious. read more

I had a flight with frontier @flyfrontier on February 14th from Indianapolis to Portland or. I missed my flight due to me sleeping at the airport because of my medication I was at the airport I woke up it was 3:07pm the flight left at 3:02pm it was gone. I spoke to ticket reps who marked me as a no show and said go to a different airline or wait 2 days to get on another flight. I flew a different airline to my connection flight in Denver I asked the ticket person if I would have flight credit because of this they said yes. When I called to get the flight credit redeem not even a refund. They said no there is nothing they can do. I asked the manager on the phone to. This is so wrong and no one wants to fix this I fly frequently with @flyfrontier but won't anymore at least @delta helped me beware @flyfrontier is a lying company read more

Worst customer service in the history of airlines. They canceled my flight. Made it near to impossible to rebook. Sat on hold for hours. Could not rebook without paying more. Cust Service acts like they are helpless to do anything. Try to get a manager, you get elevator music. Will never fly them again. read more

At Indy this is a substandard airline that you can choose from. Don't fall for lower rates. You get what you don't pay for. They won't take your bags early or late. The people working there are ..... I'll be nice. They charge for everything on board so take your own drinks and food. They are just rude from check in to gate to plane. AVOID read more

Bought my tickets and seats weeks In advance only to find they changed planes so instead of my upgraded seats, we got shoehorned into their awful regular seats. A little compensation or perhaps grace by the ticket agent would've gone a long way. Instead, I am dreading my return trip. This airline is a joke. read more

We had no problems with Frontier. You have to pay extra and get nickel and dimes but we already expected that. Can beat the cheap flight from Indy to Florida. The Seat are not very comfortable but none of them really are. It's 2 hours for most flights I take with them and I can do anything for a couple hours. read more

There isn't a zero star or u would get it. Zero minutes to make connection from lax-Denver-Indy then we had no pilot. Today I can't take a little backpack on cause some asshole is at the gate. Same bag same contents same freaking aircraft same seat and this time a completely empty overhead bin in the same seat and I can't bring a backpack on. Assholes. I'm telling everyone not to fly frontier, I've never been this pissed off on the inside. read more

When checking in online, boarding passes can't be printed. This requires a "stand in line" with only two people to check baggage and print boarding passes. Use the check-in self service kiosk, good idea but none of them are working. Hope the planes are maintained better than the website. Oh, yeah, the seats don't recline and with all of the fees and fees that are added on for every little thing you don't really save any money but you gain plenty of aggravation. Wonder if the plane has pay toilets? read more

If I had a zero star option that would be it, one star is too much for them. They have many hidden charges. During checking I was told I had to purchase and pay for my seat!!!! Then what was the price of the ticket for, they said seats doesn't come with it you have to pay additional per connecting flight!!!!! I didn't know standing in the aisles was an option. Sure we know we have to pay for the checks in baggage but when did carry on's started to cost and became more expensive than check in? Don't even mention the delayed, then the complete bare airplane going back to invention of planes. Short of paying for breathing air everything cost a small fortune, rude staff, cold plane and no blankets and none caring personal team. I WILL never fly with them and will encourage you to not try them either. read more

I have a flight scheduled for this Sunday and I am scared of this airline from the reviews I've read. Did I miss something where airlines are now charging $38 FOR A CARRY ON BAG?? When did this happen?? I seem to remember millions of dollars going to these greedy jerks to bail them out because they provided customers with such a miserable experience in the first place. Evidently,​ you have to pay for a ​ glass of water(according to other reviews)?! If they charge to use the bathroom I am taking a crap in the aisle. Seriously. I wouldn't be surprised if halfway​ through the flight they opened the door and told people they have to pay extra not to be​ thrown off the plane. Wish me luck everyone, if something happens to me it'll probably be because we didn't pay the extra fee to have a competent pilot flying. I'll revise this review after I get back...if I​ get back that is. ​ read more

Hidden baggage fees. The cheapest (no cushion) seats they could find. No bev or snack service except $3 bottle water and waaayy overpriced WiFi. Not even remotely worth it. You don't save anything using this cheap airline. read more

Well, as long as you aren't expecting anything fancy or free... This airlines gets you where you are going. Staff was courteous, professional and attentive. Fare was inexpensive. This is a no frills airlines. Worked for our purpose. Short flight to Florida. We would fly frontier again. read more

Frontier Communication is horrible! Can't stream regularly. Can't run two devices at one time. They don't deliver the speeds advertised. I have confirmed this by checking the speed of my own service. It's soooo frustrating! Do not subscribe to this service. You will be frustrated and spooling indefinitely. Ann Marie Alligood Cicero, In. 46034 read more

Frontier was a little cheaper than the other airlines so I thought I'd try it. Remember, you get what you pay for and you pay for what you get! They charged me for everything, including water that is generally complimentary on any flight. On my return trip, storms necessitated my flight get canceled. - That isn't their fault - however, they refused to help comp any hotels or food and after a 2 hour wait on a phone call to customer (on which I was very polite and patient) they hung up me. I called back, which was another 2 hour wait, I was still fairly polite and still made no progress; they even refused to comp me a water on my return flight. It was three days of living in a busy airport on the other side of the country and more money than I could afford later before I got home; I never got my complimentary water. read more

We were on and a flight which was delayed. When we landed from that delayed flight we had 10 min to get to the next flight. We politely asked the flight attendant for flight F9 602 she had ( dark hair black glasses ) to see if we could rush off the flight so we can get to our next flight. She replied and said "it is not my problem." I asked who her name was was and her reply was "you have the flight number." She was a horrible representative for this company and should be ATLEAST written up. I am a rewards member and will no longer fly this airline and cut up my frontier credit card. HORRIBLE. read more

The airline is under new mgt and apparently has a new business model similar to Spirit and Allegiant Airlines. They reportedly charge for everything including carry on luggage. All employees have been out-sourced except in Denver. Proceed with caution. read more

The staff at the gate was very rude to multiple customers, including but not limited to, me. They had already barked at me to check if my perfectly reasonably sized carry on would fit in the provided compartment. I obliged, sliding my bag easily into the slot. I waited until I could get one of the gate agent's attention, whereupon she came over and physically checked it herself, then told me "yeah, it's fine." I went back to the seats to wait for my zone to board. When my zone 4 was announced and I got to the *same*agent who had checked the size of my bag not more than 10 minutes ago, she again asked me to check to see if my bag would fit. I politely (truly. I was) told her I had already checked it and that *she* had already said it was fine. She looked at me as if I was lying to her, at which time my companion spoke up and said "we're not doing it again." Yes, I realize this was rude but we were irritated. She rolled her eyes and waved us off, and we boarded where my bag *easily* slid into the overhead bin. The flight attendants were much nicer, and the flight itself was fine, but first impressions go a long way, and this 3-person gate agent impression was deplorable. Will have to remember this and decide whether the cheaper flight is really worth the frustration next time. read more

NEVER AGAIN! ZERO STARS! Frontier was the worst flying experience I've had in many, many years... if not ever. Their Indianapolis counter was staffed by one employee who disappeared to the gate to board passengers, leaving three of us behind. Upon her return about an hour later, I learned my only options were to buy another full-price ticket on another airline or wait until the next day's Frontier flight. That's right, they only had one flight that day from Indy to Denver. As a result, I missed an important meeting, had to pay $50-75 to change my Frontier arrangements, lost out on my hotel and rental car guarantees. WOW! Never again will we even consider Frontier! read more

Paid for a checked and carry on online, but you made me pay at the gate anyways. I will never fly frontier again. Bagging options should by default go on all flights for round trip. I paid online for my return trip, and I had to pay at the gate because you had a system error.. Not the only error I see here, say goodbye to my families business. read more

If I could give them a zero rating, I would. One star is too generous. They changed my flight so that the first flight left later and my connecting flight left earlier and failed to tell me this. I confirmed my return flight when my trip started (frontier was return only, took united for departing flight to Nola) and found the error myself - even on the "my flights" confirmation page there was no alert or anything. Called them and have spent already easily 10+ hours on the phone with them. Terrible service. They hire people who can hardly speak English and they put me on the "next available" connecting flight, which was 22 hours after I landed at the connecting airport. Zero compensation, zero accommodations, zero meal vouchers. Called customer relations where I was on hold for 3 hours and 5 minutes before someone picked up and he referred to some "compensation matrix" which he refused to let me see and said he could offer me a $30 voucher bc this was classified as a "mere inconvenience." Just the tip of the iceberg. Asked for voucher to be emailed to me, woman (speaking to a diff rep) said she confirmed it was just emailed to me and I asked her to tell me what my email address was and she responded "oh. Looks like we don't have your email address on file." This is just the tip of the iceberg. I can't justify spending any more time on them. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND NEVER TAKE FRONTIER AIRLINES AGAIN!!!!!! read more

One star is too many for this airline. They are the worst!! The staff at the gate was completely unprofessional and the flight attendants were rude. My friend's luggage was lost and they showed no concern and did hardly anything to find it. When it was finally located, they didn't call him to tell him. He had to continuously call customer service, finally when it was found they refused to bring it to his hotel. Never ever again will I fly this airline...I'd rather walk. read more

This is the worse airline on many points First baggage forty dollar charge each way with a round trip ticket Then delayed on both departures No other airlines had delays that I could see weather was not the problem The problem seems to be that they do not know how to manage their flight schedule They email me on my way to the airport My first and last flight with them Don't think you will save money no truth in that advertisement If you choose them good luck Rebecca. read more

If there was a zero star rating Frontier would get it from me. This was my first AND LAST time flying on Frontier. I booked using Priceline. Two round trip tickets from Indianapolis to Denver cost $356.42. Great deal, right? WRONG!!!! That didn't include all of the hidden charges. ALL CARRY ON BAGS cost $30.00/EACH . . . BOTH WAYS!!!!! YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PICK YOUR SEATS!!!!!!! $13.00/EACH for standard seats. Up to $35/EACH FOR SEATS WITH MORE LEG ROOM. CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PICK YOUR SEATS!!!! If you are travelling with a small child you have to make sure your seats are together so you have to pay. Total ticket cost: $356.00 (up front charge) $86.00 (two carry on bags @$30/each and two standard seats at $13/each-Indy to Denver) $76.00 (two checked bags at $25/each and two standard seats at $13/each-Denver to Indy) __________ $518.00 I could have booked a much cheaper flight with Southwest or another airline with NO CARRY ON BAGGAGE FEES. On the flight from Indy to Denver we were supposed to be served a MEAL. We had to choose our meal when we made the reservation. I'm travelling with a four year old child so we didn't eat dinner assuming we would eat on the plane. WRONG!!!! Frontier didn't serve a meal but tried to SELL food, drinks and a credit card. Total ripoff. I WILL NEVER AGAIN FLY ON FRONTIER AIRLINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

the planes are small, but the staff are all well-mannered, polite, and friendly. unlike most other airlines, they do not give you that look like you're a pain in the butt when you ask them to do something that is in their job requirement! upon boarding the plane, each guest is greeted, and upon exiting, each guest is thanked. they offer two rounds of complimentary beverages, and they even give everyone on the plane a free, fresh baked (yes, in the plane) chocolate chip cookie! if not for anything else, i will book with them again just for the cookie lol! when you enter the plane there is a picture of a wild animal, and the poster will say "today you are flying with (animal's name)." frontier airlines' slogan is "we're a whole different animal", but even that can't guarantee that the beast sitting next to you won't have bo (that's when you wish everyone used dial soap). read more

I have flown Frontier quite a few times and always had problems with each experience. My greatest point of anger right now is that I continued to use Frontier because I am part of their rewards program. However, after using their airline multiple times last year, I had saved up enough miles to earn a free one-way trip. Prior to the 6 month mileage expiration date (which is also ridiculous when there are other airlines whose miles never expire), I tried to book a trip. I could not figure out how to use my miles. I emailed the airline to receive assistance. I never received a response back to my request for help. Now when I look up my account, my miles are gone. I have zero. It is because I was unable to book my reward travel within 6 months, and the airline was unwilling to help me do so. I guess the good that comes out of this is that I will never use this airline again because I am no longer concerned with accruing miles. Bad business!!! Zero stars! Do not use this airline. read more

PLEASE NOTICE THE 5 STARS ARE FROM YEARS AGO!!! Unless your ticket is hundreds of dollars cheaper, I will not be flying Frontier again. My fiancé, her sister, and I had 12 consistently bad flight experiences within a week on separate flights. Flight attendents are highly unprofessional (sweatshirts and look like they just rolled out of bed) and pushy to the point of where you feel like cattle. Your connection times are too short (to save money I'm guessing) which we would have missed half our flights if the next ones weren't also late. One flight was delayed 2 hours due to mechanical issues (understandable), but we weren't even offered a complimentary beverage. A pop or a cup of coffee has to cost less than 10 cents and you have an airplane full of 200 highly ticked off people. I've never experienced such scrutiny of bag sizes just so I have to pay $20 to check the bag that I know fits in the overheads of most Airbus and Boeing aircraft because I've done it before (not to mention they're going to start charging for carry-ons). The whole Frontier experience feels cheap, rushed, and impersonal. In the end, I'll save myself the headache and fly with the airlines I know take better care of their customers. Naming the animal on the tail of the plane is cute, but unless Frontier makes some serious marketing and PR changes, I only see it going the way of so many other airlines past. read more
