I was scheduled on flight 2510 departing from ******* to ***. When boarding the plane with my mother, we noticed that we were in the same zone for seating but different rows. My mother and I have documented severe anxiety disorder and were under the impression that we would be seated together, since we booked together and sat together on the ride to ******* (Spirit Airlines). Once we noticed that the seat next to my mother was available (plane was getting ready to take off), my mom asked one flight attendant (Attendant A) if I could sit next to her and explained her anxiety. The lady commences to yell to the back of the plane She has anxiety, so we are trying to move her. Although this attendant was trying to be helpful, Flight Attendant C approached me after I mentioned that both of our tickets say Zone 1 and yelled I told you NO, where is your assigned seat? I told her my seat was in Row 27 and moved back without any argument. I told her that all I was asking for was consistency as they had allowed another passenger to change her seat. Walking to my seat, I heard her tell Flight Attendant D Oh they getting the f*** off this plane! Flight Attendant D walked towards myself and Flight Attendant C and said I was coming up because I saw there was an issue. After I continued returning to my seat, with no remark, Flight Attendant A mentioned clear for departure and Flight Attendant C yells out OH NO WE NOT. 5 minutes later, a lady walked on the plane and asked me to come with her. I went with her without any hesitation and, when I got to the front, she mentioned that we werent allowed back on the plane. My mother and I explained the confusion and noted that Flight Attendant C was nasty to quite a few passengers before us. The lady that escorted us off said that this happens often with the power trip that some flight attendants make and she is sorry this happened to us. As we exited the plane, Attendant C and D high-fived each other in front of us.Business Response

Hello Michauna,
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 difficult experience you and your mother encountered when trying to board your flight from ******* to *********. Its truly unfortunate that you faced such a challenging situation, especially considering your documented anxiety distress. I can only imagine how unsettling it must have been to feel unsupported and to witness the behavior of the flight attendants. Your comfort and well-being are important to us, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
I have reviewed and I see that you were able to speak with a team member and as discussed, you were provided a refund in the amount of $XXXX back to the card ending in XXXX on April 15.

After Frontier Airlines completes the refund, the bank may take a few days to post the funds to the account.

To Whom It May Concern, We booked a Frontier flight for Sunday, March 23, 2025 (flight #**** and return flight #****) out of ***** to *******. After being delayed, the plane ended up being cancelled. Frontier offered us a flight that left on Tuesday (2 days later) and included a 17 hour layover. We already had accommodations booked in ******, so we decided to book a Southwest flight that left Monday (one day later) and was nonstop. We have two children ages 1 and 3, so a 17 hour layover and spending two nights in a hotel wasnt an option for us. The ticketer at the counter promised us accommodations for the night due to the cancellation. She took our name, email, and confirmation number and told us to wait for an email from Frontier and the email would tell us which hotel had been booked for us in *******. After waiting two hours, an email never came. We asked the same Frontier employee when we could expect the email and she referred us to the Team Lead. He said that our hotel would not be compensated after all. Upon requesting a refund for our cancelled flight, we wrote explicit instructions that we still want our return flight home. However, the night before our flight, we tried checking in and realized Frontier ended up refunding our return flight home also, even after explicitly saying not to. So we then had to book a last minute airline ticket to get home. Our frontier tickets originally cost us $953.88. In the end, we spent $2,690, almost three times as much as we had planned on spending. We are requesting compensation for the additional cost of the airplane tickets ($1,736) and our hotel stay in ******* ($100). Sincerely,**** ******* and ***** ********Business Response

I booked a roundtrip ticket for myself and my brothers which included a layover going both ways. We flew from ***** to ********* on March 25 with a layover on ******* and returned from ********* to ***** on March 30 with a Denver layover. Mind you I boarded a total of FOUR planes for one trip. How is it that I board 3 flights with the exact same bag packed with the same items but get charged a 100 bag fee on my last layover? I literally flew from ********* to ****** with my bag and then was charged a fee t fly from ****** back to *****. Your flight attendants are rude and driven by the bag policy to fatten their own pockets with rewards for forcing your customers to pay all of these extra fees. Its bad enough this trip was to attend a funeral and who wants to debate with your flight attendants about a tiny strap on the side of my small personal bag which I use to fly with you all of the time with no issues. It's bad enough the only flights that were available had long layovers. I would hope you would do the right thing and refund for the bags. It's bad enough I paid ****** for flights that had me on layovers for half of the day. This is truly disappointing how you are beginning to treat your customers. I am hoping for a refund because my bag fits and it always has.Business Response

Hello Khamani,
We have received your correspondence as submitted to the Better Business Bureau and appreciate the opportunity to respond regarding your recent travel experience with us on March 30th, 2025. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you encountered during your trip, especially given the circumstances surrounding your travel.
We understand how important it is for our customers to have a smooth and hassle-free journey, and we regret that our baggage policy caused you additional stress during a difficult time. It is our goal to provide excellent service, and we are sorry to hear that our team did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the baggage fee you were charged on your return flight, we appreciate your feedback and will review this matter internally to ensure that our policies are applied consistently and fairly. We understand that you have flown with us before without issue, and we are committed to addressing your concerns.
In a friendly context, all airports have the same luggage sizers for the downstairs and upstairs floors from check in and gates, and because passengers occasionally purchase items on the way to the gate, adding weight to their personal bags after checking in the sizer's downstairs, certain changes will be required.
We provide up to three announcements at the gate requesting travelers to verify their bags against luggage size. If the dimensions of the personal bag exceed the limit, it must be deemed a carry-on and charged as such. We provide recommendations on spot in paying for luggage online in order to save money overpaying at the gate. Furthermore, we show "what fits" and "what doesn't" in real time. Even up to 10 minutes before departure, our personnel will allow passengers to pay online. If it's too late by then, we'll have to charge the standard gate price for the personal baggage that exceeds the specifications as a carry-on if the bag doesn't fit correctly in the sizer.
The airport defines the sizes for carry-on and personal belongings, and the dimensions vary between airport stations, and the airport employees will advance with the appropriate approach and application costs at the time of the gate check based on their discretion. For each personal bag that exceeded the dimensions and was categorized as a carry-on rather than a personal bag, you were charged $XXXX.
To assist you further, we will refund for the baggage fee you incurred. We have refunded the following amount and details displayed below:
Last 4 digits of card:XXXX
Amount: $XXXX
Type: MasterCard
Date refund was issued: 04/16/2025.
Please allow us 7 business days for the airline to process the refund. After Frontier Airlines completes the refund, the bank will take a few days to post the funds to the account.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience you experienced and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
Kindly,
***.

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.

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.

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: *******************************************************************************

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.

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

Received a credit voucher from Frontier due to involuntary denied boarding on April 3, 2024, which expired April 3, 2025 at 10:59pm. Attempted to purchase flights using voucher before expiration date and time on April 3, 2025 and was unable to complete flight purchase due to repeatedly getting an error message when adding passenger information. The passenger information would get removed and I would be prompted with the error message every time I entered it and clicked on the continue button.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I was given 48 hours to use the voucher and it was insufficient time as I was unaware that it was being sent and The Better Business Bureau wasnt able to alert me as to the notice of a response until May 8th, the same day the voucher expired.
I request that the voucher be reissued for a 48 hour period and I will review my inbox daily for it in order to be given the opportunity to use it.
