I booked a flight to travel and the cheapest option was FRONTIER. Three years ago I and a friend missed a flight to Florida because of the needless hassle the baggage check in desk making issues out of their mistakes as if we were to blame. Finally we both got through and I was at the gate to board and my companion was 200 feet away walking to catch up, they told me that I went through the door now or they were closing it. I said, "but they're right there!" They could see my friend walking and they shut the door 30 seconds before my friend arrived. Unbelievable! I said I'd never fly with them again. Today I am. 100 dollars for a check in bag so I brought none. Got the thicket last week. Got an email to check in. I clicked on it and it should me nothing to click on so I figured "no big deal". At the desk 30 minutes ago, they said that you have to check in online or it's a $25 fee. I went back to the email and it only gives you the option to get the App. They assured me I don't have to get the app... but they expect you to come 3 hours ahead of flight to have them assist you with their email that offers no link to check in. This airline gouges you wherever they can... very distrust worthy. I hope they don't skimp on plane parts. read more

It is times like this they should allow a negative point factor that you are only allowed to give maybe once a year. I would use it on frontier. Sitting on a plane waiting for it to take off for 3 hours - I guess I have time to review frontier. Oh and they progressively bumped up the temp so by the time we were taking off I was stewing in a brew of greasy sweat and then needed to fly for 3 hours like that. Anyway, everything is al a carte of course.. as an example, you get water and anything else costs. I especially loved the fact that I paid $5 to get in group 1 for expedited boarding but then everyone else did too so like 95% of people were in group 1. What a load of BS!!! Everything is bare bones... at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. I should have just paid more. Oh and then one of the attendants was all attitude.. I just brushed it off but he kept being a douche and checking my seat belt a million times and explaining that it needed to be belted, even though it was the whole time! That said, the female attendant was actually super nice so idk, maybe that part evens out. Anyway, at the end of the day, frontier solidly deserves 1 star.. it is the 1 star airline of all airlines. So, maybe this review is not needed but I feel like I need to vent. Frontier is so bad that my coworkers thought I was crazy for taking it but the price was like half of the next cheapest thing.. maybe the price deserves a star but I don't think I could live with myself if I have frontier anything other than 1 star. read more

I told myself years ago that I wouldn't book with Spirit, my fault for giving them another try! I payed extra for the big seats only for them to tell me that I needed to have extra items purchased to really get the seats. My app even said that I have the big front seats & yet they denied me the seats & a refund. They'll make you believe you're getting bigger seats just to make you pay extra! SCAM! SAVE YOURSELF & BOOK WITH ANOTHER AIRLINE Trust me, you end up paying more after all their add ons. read more

I had a flight for today that they wouldn't let me board because the app wouldn't allow me to check in. I came 45 minutes earlier to desk and asked for help and she just shrugged her shoulders so I thought I would be ok. I even told her I can't see my seat after checking in and she ignored me when I asked for help but then they wouldn't let me on flight because I "wasn't checked in" Thanks goodness I had proof that I spoke to them early and Frontier refunded me and got me on another flight but these girls are so cold and dismissive, I was there early enough where she could of offered options of even going downstairs but instead they just wait until I'm ready to board. They also lied and noted on file that I was late when I wasn't. Thank you frontier for the credit and new flight but shame on these associates for lying, failing to assist and for laughing when telling me that I won't be able to get on the flight. read more

Thank you. I know know what airline not to use in the future. The fees for just adding a bag, not even the normal 50lbs, but a 40lbs checked back is $54 both was(108 total). If it goes over to 41 to 50 lbs its an additional 75$ both ways ($258). That is for a plane ticket that started at $225 with no carry-on or checked bags and an 1.5 hr plan trip. I didn't know before I booked the tickets but I know know I will choose any other company than Frontier going forward. read more

Our plane from Santa Anna airport to Las Vegas was delayed for 50 mins. The same thing happened to the flight before us, which was to fly to Denver. Since we were not in rush and the workers sincerely apologize for the delay so I am chill about it but do feel sorry for those who have another flight to catch after land Las Vegas. We didn't check in with any bags so they put us in the front rows so we can get down from the plane fast. We got two all-you-can-fly-passes with Frontier last November so this whole flight is almost free. Frontier can offer such good deals to customers all the time, I am very thankful for that. Give four starts, see Frontier next time. read more

Frontier is the worst airline I have ever dealt with in my life..I was due a refund from them since April and to this day 9/12/25. I have not received my refund. They took my money from my account and now say they can't refund my account because they used another credit card. When they clearly debited my account. This is so frustrating and I'm going to seek legal counsel to get my refund. I have spoke to so many people and no one in that airline can give me my refund. This is absolutely unacceptable. I will never ever fly this airline again. read more

just please avoid this airline, i got charged stupid fees and i gotta fucking wait more than 1 hour to check my single luggage

Review of Frontier Air The time you have because there's no Wi-Fi in this flight gives you an opportunity to tell you what it's like to my first flight on frontier here. When I booked the tickets, it was nice to see it cheaper tickets, but in the end cost more due to the price for baggage, including paying for carry-on baggage. I'm not sure What the owners this airline are trying to do but in the end, I guess if you know what you're getting into it's fine but I didn't. On the flight you have to pay for all the items you want and the staff on the flight doesn't really care to serve.Overall, I'll never fly this airline again. My daughter had to get up and ask someone for water totally ridiculous. read more

This airline is not good, the flight attendants are rude and unwilling to help people who are paying money to fly on their airplanes. You ask for help and get treated like you are incapable, again just simple questions but the attendants cannot be bothered with that as if they have something else way more important to do. The cost of the flight is a perk but at times the extra money spent can be worth it with how they offer little to no assistance as if it's a bother to them, I would not recommend this airline to anyone. read more

Frontier is an absolute joke. No one who works for the company is on the same page. After I bought my ticket I realized they charge 70-80 for a carry on or checked bag one way. So I found a gym bag that was the dimensions of their personal item which is ridiculous. 18x14x8. I measured it and figured I was good to go. I get to the airport and they make me pay 80 dollars to consider it a "carry on" because it doesn't fit in their little size thing. After I get on the plane I see someone with the same Bag as me and he didn't have to pay. It's a slap to the face customer service wise and now I'm going to pay 160 round trip to bring my gym bag with me for a flight I paid 186 for. Never flying this airline again and I would never recommend it to anyone. read more

So far just boarded flight. Since I didn't pay an extra $20 they shot me to the back of the bus. Headed to Orlando Florida with a three hour layover in Dallas Texas. Seats aren't terribly bad, just not comfortable. Would have been nice to at least have a window seat but these are cheaper flights...cheaper quality. read more

Frontier Airlines - Back of the bus - Airlines Near Me - Santa Ana, California

My first and last time! It's the worst of the worst airlines possible! It was a nightmare and they charge you for every step and our seats were scattered all over the place and I have kids and even to get your boarding checked in they charge! I had a much better experience with spirit and much rather fly spirit cheaper and better than frontier! Absolute nightmare! Employees are very rude and no customer service whatsoever! read more

Discovered a whole new frontier on this trip. If you are traveling last flight out at night, listen up, this could apply to you: My flight originally was set to depart at 9, unfortunately it arrived late. Apparently there is a rule that planes get fined out of SNA if they leave after 10pm. So they grounded the flight and sent us to the front to rebook and get vouchers and what not. I recommend just rebooking yourself on the phone it's much fast before others get it in line. If you don't live here, they provide hotel vouchers!! I was very surprised by this. However didn't know when they had it ready. Luckily, the manager at the hotel responded pretty quickly so by 11:30pm we all had a room. Otherwise it would be $150 a night. We also got 3 more emails that gave $10-15 food vouchers to use within the next 24 hrs. I ordered brunch for $20, and it seems my luck ran out cause it depleted my supposedly $30 voucher.. there should be a smarter way to use it. Good job on taking care of your stranded passengers read more

No Customer Support! I was ill trying to fly home from San Francisco to Santa Ana and arrived 5 hours early to the airport for my $65 flight. An hour after arriving I got a text that the flight was delayed 40 minutes. Then an hour after that the information board said the gate had been moved to a whole other wing. Then I got an e-mail that there was another delay of 1 hour, something about maintenance issues. Then 2 hours later another e-mail that the flight had been cancelled offering a refund. Meanwhile not a Frontier agent in sight, offering to re-book or anything. I tried to find another airline flight but they were all 9-10 times the price. An hour later, after much fuss, I finally got them to re-book me on a flight for the next day with no compensation for a hotel room, taxie or food. read more

The worse!!!! Charge you for Carry-on, no courtesy snack or drinks, very dated planes. We was waiting to abord the plane more than 15 min OUTSIDE I WINTER!! Kids, seniors.... horrible experience!!!! read more

What's everyone complaining for? I flew from OC to SF roundtrip. No delays. Friendly crew. Yes only one personal item (backpack), app only service, you DO have to pay for everything. But if you knew that going in, there should be no problem. They even offered exit seating upon boarding for free. There were 3 of us, I checked in and let the system choose our seats. 2 of us sat next to each other and the other person in front of us. The seats don't recline, not too comfortable but so what. 1-2 hour flight, suck it up. All this time I was afraid of using budget airlines like frontier but there's nothing wrong with it. Do your homework so you're not shocked. I'm happy to fly frontier again! read more

Avoid check in your luggage at all cost. They will overcharge you and destro your luggage. Good luck trying to make them take responsibility for it. No wonder their reviews are so low. read more

Absolutely horrible. You risk spending WAY more flying this "airline" in an effort to save. You also risk your trip in general. My daughter was an hour and a half early to her flight, but the code given Via email didn't work. No one would help her. When she finally got to the front of a line to check bags, she asked again for help but they refused to check her in. They claimed she was late, that she didn't have time...even an hour early. They refused to let her even try to make the plane. She was crying, across the country and alone. They pushed her along like cattle after taking our money. We had to buy another ticket to get her safely home. This time we were smart and booked a real airline. Frontier runs through digital systems, no customer service and likely deliberately functions like a scam. They overbook and then select only the first to show to fill seats. They actually get to fly and make the trip already paid for. Those that show a bit later don't get to fly, and they don't get their money back either. Scam, gamble...whatever you want to call it. It's a big mess with no actual employees,/communication/customer service to keep them accountable. Avoid at all costs. Can I give it Less than one star?!!! read more

I wish I can give negative stars because I so despise these airlines. The baggage drop off was way too slow, the staff at the airport are rude. On top of everything, they lost my bags and the only way to reach them is through mail and haven't heard from them. Would never take these airlines again and wouldn't recommend them. read more

To sum up my RT, non-stop SAN\DIA, I will never again fly Frontier. My outbound flight was cancelled just a few hours before the scheduled departure and my return flight was delayed 5 hours. I lost count of how many gate changes. This would have been impossible for anyone w/mobility issues. Note what is "extra" and what the charges are. It was a frustrating, stressful, and expensive experience. FlyerBeware! read more

I got an email saying my flight is delayed until 9:59pm, with is an hour and half from the original time of departure. I asked the frontier customer service representative if that true and she went to ask at the frontier counter and came saying it's only delayed one hour not an hour and half. She asked me to step out of the line and come back at least an hour prior to 9:29, like 8:20 or so, since we are unable to check in before that. We listened and left. We returned to the line at 8:20pm as advised and the waited in line, less than 2 minutes in line, the front desk staff were screaming at the line, is there anyone else waiting to check in for NY flight your flight will boarding will be closing and you need to come to the front of the line now. Not only us responded in shock, but there were a hand full of customers that left with us and rush to the front desk of the check in counter and we formed a line of front of the front desk. At the counter we were met by an angry, rude, extremely unprofessional and unpleasant frontier customer representative, who is a female white or Hispanic individual, in her mid 20's. She yelled at us as if we did something wrong. Then she told us she'll charge us $25 each to get us our tickets. I explained to her that all we did is follow directions up to this point. I explained I was a a disabled veteran and I could not afford to pay for her "inconvenience fee" I asked to be seated next to my wife who was my care taker and she ignored our request and said, "I don't care if you are a veteran or not" next time you pay and she seated us farther apart, I was in the center of the plane and my care taker wife was in the back. The entire time with no snack or water being offered for a flight that was 5 hours. Aside from Just pure chaos, unorganized, Unprofessional, Rudeness, Disrespectful, Uncomfortable flight seats, and zero customers service, it was simply the worst flight experience. read more

FRONTIER WILL NICKEL & DIME YOU! We used Frontier on a short, return flight from Denver to SNA several days ago. The boarding took forever as personnel checked EACH bag, including back-packs to make sure they were small enough to carry on. First checked bag is $53. Needless to say, the flight was delayed. Then there's this: "It's $5 for an emergency oxygen mask and $10 for a life vest." My husband can swim but I can't, and I wasn't about to pay it ahead of time. The tray table is micro-mini, can't be pulled out and won't hold a phone! We paid extra for the seat and still can't believe how small it was! Soft drinks were extra at $3.50 per can. When we made the original reservation online, it was so confusing a $328 one way flight ended up being over $700! I gasped, cancelled, and started over. That should've been the first indication this was going to be a challenge. Oh, and $328 is not cheap. Last ride on Frontier. read more

Worst service. The "manager" in the front desk was rude and And forced me to pay an additional $198 for something I had already paid for and said that if I didn't pay I wouldn't be able to board the flight. Rudeness. read more

Never Again will I use or recommend this airline!!!! I paid $152 for two front seats and the stewardess would not let us sit in the seats that we paid for because they wanted to sit in the seats for the entire flight so I took pictures and I will never use them or recommend them to anyone. Frontier airlines sucks.!!!!! read more

My wife and I used this Frontier Airlines to enjoy a mini 4 days vacation from John Wayne Airport to Las Vegas. The airlines add on so many junk fee s to our tickets, and we ended up paying a lot! This is the first and last time in our life to fly Frontier Airlines! read more

Flew out to Vegas to see granddaughter compete airplane was pretty well kept clean flight went well

This company is a scam. You pay 100+ just to add a carry on bag not to mention each checked bag has a fee of about 110$ per bag or more when purchased at the airport. The staff is of lower education and has a hard time doing their jobs correctly. I had to transfer a ticket and upon doing so my bag purchase was not included on the ticket although I had paid for the bag which was showing on the frontier website "manager" insisted that because her screen did not show the purchase of the bag that the bag was not purchased, even though there was a confirmation email receipt and the purchase was showing on the frontier website. The manager "veneal" from the Denver airport refused to allow us to rep purchase the bag and told us to standby forcing us to miss our flight. on top of being extremely rude forcing us to miss our flight we were told that we had to purchase brand new tickets just to get home for the remainder of our trip. Thank you to Expedia for their 4 hours of support and for reaching out to higher level executives to rectify the problem if it wasn't for them, I would've never made it out of Denver. We will NEVER EVER FLY FRONTIER AGAIN . read more

Worst airline ever! Do not ever book with them. Our family booked a trip in January from California to Punta Cana in Dominican Republic. Now yesterday 5 months after booking frontier changes our return flight from Dominican by 24 hours!! We ended up having to cancel the entire trip because it would have thrown all other travel plans off and costs us even more money. read more

NEVER I repeat NEVER use this airline they charge for everything and the service is non-existent

The first flight wasn't to bad from phx to John Wayne it was a bit weird because they had to shift people around for weight since no one brought extra luggage because it costs so much. The crew was snarky which I found funny but nothing unprofessional. Flying to phx out of John Wayne Saturday night and they cancelled the flight. Customer service straight up did not care. Handed me a card and said to get a refund online or wait till Monday for the next flight then called next. Not a care in the world the fact they just screwed up all plans, booking and reservation with no explanation or even a sorry. Just a nothing we will do for you but these two options read more

If I could give this airlines a zero I would! The rudest staff.. you can't reach a person for help. I filed a complaint for a flight that my father could not get on because they delayed him with his luggage. We had to buy another ticket on another airline. This flight was not used. These seats were not sat in the luggage that was paid for was not checked in, this is bullshit. I paid $500 with all the added extras pick another airline. Trust me you'll be glad you did THEY SUCK. How dare they treat an 86-year-old man like that? Disgusting take your business somewhere else. These people don't deserve your money. read more

I love the growing Frontier Airlines presence here at John Wayne Airport. (SNA) My family and friends normally fly from the Las Vegas to Orange County route to take advantage of Disneyland and Huntington Beach. The airport team and flight crew are very professional and caring! I find it very interesting that at this airport, the pilots have to take off in a special way due to orange country rules. Regardless the crew is always able to take off perfectly. The lines are normally never long and the checking in is a straight breeze! This airline is a budget airline so everyone should know how U.S. carriers impose fees on seating assignments, luggage's, etc. If you're flying to Orange County. Add Frontier to your travel plans! read more

I am only giving them 1 star because I am unable to give them less. I went round and round with them after they changed my flight and I would be getting into Denver almost 3 hours later. I wanted a refund so I can book on another airline. They would only give a credit. I had to do this via WhatsApp chat. There is no possible way to get a hold of a live operator. Horrible customer service . No matter how cheap the flight is, it is not worth it . I will never book with frontier again. read more

I'm excited to be apart of the passenger experience with Frontier airlines here in John Wayne airport! I can see the big future this airline will be doing here later in life. Perhaps another small hub for Frontier? My favorite route here is the one from Denver and Las Vegas. The service is fantastic and I love the airbus fleet Frontier has for its passengers. Passengers should note this is a budget carrier so you'll have to pay for everything like bags, seat assignments and food too. The team here is very professional and friendly. I can't wait for the next Frontier flight! read more

NO savings! ...Higher fees and paying again each time the plane stops Don't fly Frontier if you want to save money! Southwest's full price is still cheaper! Frontier charges extra for everything! ...$70 for carry-on, $70 for each check-in, an extra $70 for check-in baggage over 40lbs ...$40 to sit. ....AND if you have a stopover... then, you need to pay the fees again! ..$70 for carry-on, $70 for each check-in, extra $70 for check-in baggage over 40lbs ...$40 to sit. Since Frontier is a small carrier... you'll also sit at your stopover airport for hours if not days until the next flight. Here's the response from Frontier: "...Keep in mind that the fees are charged for every segment on your flight. This means that if your flight has a layover, like in your case, you will have to pay the fees for each individual flight.   Thanks for choosing Frontier Airlines!   Kevin Q. Customer Relations Specialist Frontier Airlines..." read more

I flew with them only a handful of times and they gave me grief every time. Don't be fooled by the low airfare. Everything else will cost you and it will end up being more than flying business class. Your seat will cost you $20-50, if you didn't have your ticket printed out or have their app to check in then it will cost you $25 just to print out your boarding pass. My carryon luggage is the right size and fits into their measuring bin and they still charged me $99 and forced me to check it in because they said it didn't fit in smoothly and I have to tug on it to get it out of the measuring bin. Don't bother talking sense into them because their attendants will right out yell at you. I couldn't stand them anymore and canceled a flight I had with them and it took them a little under 3 months to refund me. I had to keep calling them and emailing them and contacting my bank to go after them. Every experience I've ever had with them is absolutely terrible read more
