I had a departing flight from ****** to ***************************** on Monday, March 24. (Confirmation UHMMGQ)The flight was delayed over an hour, which is unacceptable. It may be late to a mandatory meeting and I suffered financial loss because of I contacted Frontier Airlines explained the situation and all they offer me was a future coupon for $25 on a future flight. I mentioned I appreciation for the offer, but I have no intentions of flying anywhere within the next 90 days or matter fact within a yearso the coupon does mean no good what Im asking for some compensation for this delayed uncomfortable flight the right thing to do would be to compensate me a partial refund on the overall cost of the flight. What Im asking for is fair in frontier airline is denying ******* giving Frontier Airlines the opportunity to make this right before I file a disputeBusiness Response

Hello ******,
Im sorry to hear that your flight from ******* to ******* was delayed, resulting in a financial impact due to your late arrival to a meeting. I understand that you reached out to us to explain the situation, but only a $25.00 voucher was offered, which may not have met your expectations. I recognize that you would prefer a refund for your flight instead of a voucher.
Our records indicate that your flight was delayed for 1 hour and 19 minutes due to maintenance issues. The decision to delay, divert or cancel a flight is not easy. We have a team of specialists who continually monitor our entire system and make decisions regarding irregular operations. Given the circumstances, they decide the best possible arrangement for all parties involved. It is never our intention to disappoint our customers.
I see that your flight from ******* to ******* was boarded successfully. Our **************** Plan states that if your flight is canceled or delayed in excess of 3 hours, we'll provide you, upon request, a full refund of any unused portion of your ticket. Since your flights were been boarded, a refund cannot be provided.
I understand that you do not wish to receive voucher, however, we would like for you to give us another opportunity, therefore, I have voided the $XXXX voucher and issued a new one for $XXXX per passenger, for a future flight with Frontier, valid for 6 months. These are for full fare, so they can be used to pay for taxes or additional services. Although you must redeem the voucher by the expiration date, you may book future travel out as far as Frontier's schedule allows, on which we currently have flights up to August 2025. Vouchers are one-time use and cannot be extended if theyre not used before the expiration date.

There were six of us on this flight. We lost an entire day of vacation because the first flight on Thursday was canceled. We've lost the room in ***** that we had paid for and had to pay for another one at a casino in ******* while waiting for the flight the next day. The next day the flight was not a straight through 3-hour flight. Instead we had to fly over 7 hours with a leg over in *****************.Business Response

Hello ***,
We have received your correspondence as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Im sorry to hear that the cancellation of your flight on February 13 resulted in the loss of your hotel reservation in *********, as well as additional expenses incurred at a casino in ******* while you were waiting for your flight. I understand that being rebooked on a connecting flight was not an ideal solution for you. Given these circumstances, you would like to request a refund for your flight.
Our records indicate that the flight was uncontrollably cancelled due to Air Traffic Control. At Frontier Airlines, we strive to provide reliable and timely service to all our passengers. Unfortunately, in this instance, situations our of our control led to the cancellation of your flight, which prevented us from delivering the travel experience you expected and deserved.
Our **************** Plan states that given the nature of uncontrollable events, we do not offer compensation for uncontrollable events beyond the re-accommodation on the next available Frontier flight. Alternatively, if your flight is canceled or delayed in excess of 3 hours, we'll provide you, upon request, a full refund of any unused portion of your ticket. I see that your flight was rebooked and boarded, based on this, a refund is not applicable.
Additionally, Frontier continues to comply with the **************************** regulation which states the following about Incidental Expenses - "A customer who incurs incidental expenses such as a rental car, hotel room, or meal due to a significant delayed or cancelled flight is not entitled to a refund of the incidental expenses". Further information about compensations can be seen here: *******************************************************************************
While we cannot provide a refund, I see that you were sent a $XXXX voucher by our customer service team. These are for full fare, so they can be used to pay for taxes or additional services.

Someone hacked my miles/discount den account with ******************. I reached out by email and chat and no one is helping me resolve the issue. They have no live people that work there. I am concerned about the status of my miles - some of which I purchased from Frontier, some earned, and some the result of settlements with them for prior issues. This is not the first time they have completely abandoned a customer needing help - this has happened to me more than once with them. The person on the chat could tell me that the email address associated with my account was changed to one I don't recognize - how I know it was hacked - but could not help me change it back or regain access to my account. He told me to fill out a form and someone would be in touch with me - still nothing. I don't understand why they don't care about their customers and don't assist them. I need to regain access. I explained to him and in the email that I was planning to book a trip, but need access to my miles and discount den membership. I also have a voucher from another incident involving them I wanted to use and can't until I can access my account. I am concerned the voucher will expire. As you can see from the attachments my correct email address is ************************** They contacted me here about my renewal notice, they emailed me here re points that I purchased, etc. I have no idea who would have changed my login, but it wasn't me.Business Response

Dear ***,
We have received your correspondence as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. I sincerely apologize for the distress and frustration you have encountered regarding your Miles/Discount Den account with ******************. It is unacceptable that you have not received the assistance you need, especially given the importance of your miles, membership, and voucher. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to feel like your concerns are not being addressed, particularly when you are trying to plan a trip.
Thank you for sharing your concerns, I read your complaint and completely understand your dissatisfaction; I am aware that my apologies are completely ineffective, but I feel compelled to extend them on behalf of Frontier Airlines to express our regret for any inconvenience this matter may have caused you.
Upon taking a look and further verifying, I have confirmed your Frontier Miles account and miles have been recovered and your information has been rectified, I do also show all of your miles have been reestablished and your account is now safe. As a precaution, we suggest changing your password periodically to avoid further issues in the future. You may do so through our website here: ****************************************
We do also understand you were having trouble with a voucher, Iam glad to see these have been redeemed towards a new reservation with no issue.
Thank you for your understanding.

Ive been a loyal Frontier customer for over two decades and a committed Discount Den member, consistently choosing your airline for its value and reliability. What happened with my recent booking is not only unacceptableits insulting to someone who has stood by this brand for so long.I booked my flight directly on Frontiers website using my personal credit card and received a valid confirmation email. My bank verified there were no fraud alerts, holds, or declined transactions. Yet, my reservation was cancelled and refunded without any notification or opportunity to correct the issue.Industry standards for cancelled reservations are clear: Airlines are expected to notify passengers promptly about any changes or cancellations, typically via email or phone. Furthermore, most major airlines allow passengers to hold their reservations for a short time and confirm payment at check-in or prior to boarding without automatically cancelling the booking. This practice ensures that customers are not penalized for temporary payment issues, and it provides passengers with the opportunity to resolve issues before a flight is cancelled, especially in cases where payment may have been flagged mistakenly.I urge you to review the chat transcript tied to this case. It speaks volumes about the kind of support that was providedor rather, not *********** someone who has invested in this airline for over 20 years, I expect better. I expect accountability. And I expect one of the following actions to be taken immediately: Reinstate my reservation at the original fare, OR Provide a travel voucher or credit equivalent to the current cost of the same flight, plus compensation for the time and service failure.Business Response

Hello Vanessa
We have received your correspondence as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Thank you for drawing our attention to this and for your feedback related to this matter. For us, it is truly important to receive these comments in order to give the appropriate attention to this situation. We want you to have a great experience with us, so these comments help us make the necessary improvements and ensure a smooth experience for all our passengers. We are committed to taking the necessary measures to solve this matter, make it right for you, and address your concerns.
I would like to inform you that the reservation was marked as fraud. This is an automatized process made automatically by our systems when the credit card information does not match with the contact information used in the reservation.
We understand that you would like to have your reservation reinstated or to have the option to keep the same price for rebooking.
However, I would like to inform you that airfares, much like gas prices, fluctuate in response to a number of complex variables and are therefore always subject to change right up until departure. Once you purchase an airline ticket or fill your car up with gas, you lock in that price and are no longer subject to those fluctuations, whether up or down. Just as the gas station doesnt request an additional payment if gas prices rise after you fill up, neither do they refund the difference when prices fall. The same principle applies to airfare.
At any given time, the fares displayed on our website are the lowest available, and our current specials can always be found at ************************************************************. I also encourage you to sign up for our email alerts (if you haven't already) so that you can take advantage of fare sales as soon as theyre announced.
While we are unable to honor your request, we do appreciate your feedback and look forward to serving you on a future Frontier Airlines flight.
Regards,
Customer Relations Specialist

Hello ****,
We have received your correspondence as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
I want to sincerely apologize for the difficulties Fifi experienced with the recent flight on April 2, 2025 when she was trying to travel from ****** to *************. It is truly concerning to hear about the lack of communication regarding the flight delay and the subsequent challenges you faced in securing a new ticket. I understand that you had to incur into additional expenses on a new ticket and you'd like to receive a refund.
I see that her flight departed on time and was not affected by a delay.
I reviewed Fifi's reservation and it appears that her initial flight, with a payment of $XXXX, was marked a late arrival on which normally tickets are deemed to be a NoShow Cancellation and canceled. Nevertheless, I see that she was provided with a rebooking, on which she was charged a fare differences plus a $99 change fee ($XXXX). Those fees, as per terms and conditions are non refundable. See our change policies here: *************************************************************************
I see that as one time exception, she was provided with the change fee of $XX back to the card ending in XXXX on April 3, 2025. Please take into consideration that a refund takes 7 business days to post to the method of payment used. After Frontier Airlines completes the refund, the bank may take a few days to post the funds to the account.
Based in our terms and conditions, no further refund is due.
We understand this may not be the outcome you were anticipating, and we are truly sorry to disappoint you. We appreciate your understanding and hope for the opportunity to exceed your expectations on a future Frontier Airlines flight.
Sincerely,
Customer Relations Specialist

Hello *****,
We have received your correspondence as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
I want to sincerely apologize for the difficulties you have faced regarding your recent travel experience with Frontier Airlines. It is truly unfortunate that you missed your flight to ********* due to security delays, and based on this you had to purchase other tickets to be able to arrive to your destination for an important doctor appointment.
I reviewed your reservation #XXXXXX, and I see that your flights were originally booked to travel on March 9 from ******* to ********* and return on March 15 from ********* to *******. I see that you requested a change on February 12, to travel on March 12 and return on March 16 instead. No cancellations were made on your reservation.
I see that since both flights were not boarded nor check-in was made, your tickets were deemed as no show, on which our Contract of Carriage states:
"Frontier may refuse to provide transportation to any person and may require that a passenger leave an aircraft or be removed from an aircraft for the following reasons, in which case no refund to the original form of payment will be due and Frontier will have no further liability.
Failure to Check In or Appear - The passenger fails to check-in for their flight within the required times or appear for boarding of that flight within the required times. (The ticket will be deemed to be a NoShow Cancellation and canceled.)"
Remember that the check-in is available 24 hours before the flight through our website and mobile app. You will need to be in the airport at least two/three hours before your flight so you and your bags are checked-in on time. Counter closes 60 minutes before the flight and 20 minutes before flight, boarding ends.
While a refund cannot be provided, nor a reimbursement on your expenses, as one time exception, we have issued a voucher for the amount of your reservation $XXXX so it can be used on a future flight with Frontier, valid for 90 days until 07/14/2025. This is for full fare, so it can be used to pay for taxes or additional services. Although you must redeem the voucher by the expiration date, you may book future travel out as far as Frontier's schedule allows, on which we currently have flights up to August 2025. Vouchers are one-time use and cannot be extended if theyre not used before the expiration date.
Voucher #XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - ***** ****** - Expiry Date: 07/14/2025 10:59:00 PM PST.
Electronic Travel Vouchers may be applied towards the purchase of any Frontier flight:
Valid for the full fare of your booking including optional services, fees and taxes.
Not redeemable for cash, third-party products (e.g., rental car, hotels, insurance), and cannot be used for group bookings.

our flight was supposed to board at 525pm and at 430pm I found out that the plane was delayed until 925pm. then at 744pm we find out that the plane is delayed even more till 955pm.i was offered a 30 dollar voucher for food for the inconvenience. when I went to go get food for myself (type 1 Diabetic) and my 7 year old daughter all the stores and restaurants were closed there for was unable to get anything. this was a huge problem because my sugar I now has to keep up longer than I planned for with the amount of food and drink I already had on me. so instead of getting to my destination at midnight I didn't get there until 4am still had to pay 100 for a hotel room when I would only be there for 4 hours instead of the 10 I intended. I'm dealing with this all while dealing with a child with autism who now doesn't understand all these changes and is not doing well with the change. it was just an awful experience all aroundBusiness Response

I recently bought 4 tickets from ****** to ******* through Expedia flying Frontier Airlines May 2nd through May 4th for a soccer tournament my daughter is playing in. The original flight I picked to return to ****** from ******* was at 7:38 pm so that we could actually be at the game we are flying out to attend. Unfortunately, after I booked, this flight was changed from 7:38 pm to 1:10 pm and we would miss the entire reason we are flying to ******* for. I have spent many hours speaking and messaging with both Expedia and Frontier Airlines in an attempt to find a solution. All I have received in return is Expedia blaming Frontier and Frontier Airlines blaming Expedia but no one has helped me actually get a flight that would work for us. I sent proof of my original purchase to Frontier airlines through ******** but they said sorry that is not what our records say. I travel all the time as my daughter plays nationwide travel soccer and my son plays travel hockey. We will never ever use Frontier airlines again if this is not made right. I will continue to share this horrible experience with teammates, forums, reviews and anyone who will listen so that they do not have to go through this same experience. I am seeking a change in my flight to allow us to return after the game, late afternoon or early evening, plus compensation for time and stress that this has caused. If a flight does not exist than I want a full refund plus cost of rebooking a new flight. The original cost of the flight was ******. I am so dissatisfied with the customer service through ********************** that is designed to delay and frustrate the customer so they will give up.Business Response

Hello *****,
Thank you for contacting Frontier Airlines with your concerns regarding your returning flight change from ******* to ****** on May 4, 2025. We are very sorry to hear your flight was changed from 7:38 pm to 1:110 pm. We are really aware the impact of this time change. We truly understand this modification would impact your travel plans to attend to your daughter's soccer tournament. We always want our passengers to have a smooth, comfortable trip and be able to reach their destination as planned. We assure you that it is never our intent to disappoint or inconvenience our customers. We appreciate this opportunity to address your concern; we are glad to assist you with this matter.
Upon reviewing the images you attached, indeed shows that the flight was initially booked from ******* to ****** for May 4th at 7:38 p.m. and arriving at 9:41 p.m, however, I must kindly inform you that after reviewing your reservation XXXXXX, our records do not show any changes to the flight time on our end, since you booked with a third party, I highly recommend you to contact Expedia, since they were the ones who offered you the flight departing at 7:38 pm. I would also like to kindly let you know and we are unable to offer you any compensation since the flight was booked through third party. We appreciate your understanding in this matter
I would like to inform you that, we are able to change the flight that would work for you, please note that a change fee may apply of $XXXX per passenger and per direction, however, as we understand this not the experience you expected, as gesture of customer service and one-time exception for the experience, we would waive the all change fees and we would only apply the fare difference if the fare is higher.
Thank you for contacting Frontier Airlines. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and look forward to hearing back from you soon. Thank you for choosing Frontier Airlines as your travel partner and for contacting us. We're here to assist you with anything you need.
Kindly,
Customer Relations Specialist

I am rejecting this response because:
Expedia continues to tell me that frontier airlines changed the flight time and not Expedia. There has been a complete denial of responsibility and no compensation offered for this major inconvenience. At this point, we will still never book with frontier airlines again.
