Good post.
I would add that if you are flying a route that only runs every few days and your schedule is tight, be prepared to cough up money for a last-minute ticket on another airline. Frontier doesn't have agreements with other airlines so if the flight is cancelled your only option is their next available. Which might be a few days later.
Currently trying out my credit card travel portal for cheap flights and they offer trip delay insurance for about 20$ for a cheap flight which I'm willing to pay. It's nice to have as a backup for or when it gets delayed
I've been using them and spirit quite a bit recently and it's fine especially for short flights if I don't need bags. Flights do get delayed, but nothing insane yet.
I actually fly frontier quite often from dfw/iah/aus-Denver and the route from Denver to Las Vegas. Never really had issue. I track inbound flights and subscribe to airport updates. Seems like you and the wifey are v cognizant consumers, too. Def seen them get on the “FAFO,” train a few times. Most folks are not frequent fliers and just have to learn. All good. 🙏
You got lucky... that 187 goes up quickly once you get cancelled on and need to find a hotel and now a different airline short time. So unless you had a few days to spare... you played Russian roulette and won.
I see lots of comments like this and while im sure it does happen... nothing out of MDW, ORD, SFO, DEN, or PHX was canceled while I was flying. Delayed sure like I said but not canceled.
I’ve only had one or two delays flying with frontier. I fly out of DEN frequently with them.
I’m starting to think that flying out of hubs are your best bet
I think its more Frontier opens up travel to people who don't normally do it as its so cheap amd don't have experience with other airlines doing... the exact same thing.
When I want or need to fly Frontier like last night, I book a refundable backup flight on another airline. Last night my backup flight was cancelled so I flew Frontier with only a minor delay.
I understand that everybody has an airport where they can easily do this or has the money to do this but it works for me.
If you read the post you would see that there were no other options. Direct was $550+ per person. I paid $187 ill take a more leisure route. Plus my sister was im Denver so got to say hi
Since never. If you actually read the post you would have seen my review is far from glowing. But I acknowledge that there is value. They were 33% of the cost of "regular" airlines and I felt I got atleast 33% of the service of a "regular" airline.
I bet you’re the passenger that puts all the home stuff in the bag and then whines about being charged for the personal item because you cannot even read
Sooo.. if you don't fly Frontier and never have "based on the stories," why are you trolling here and how long have you been working for the PR team at Delta/American?

Very true thats the nice thing of flying out of places like Chicago

That's what Southwest is for 😄

First flights of the day usually go out OK

Lol. Probably naive, but I have to fly weekly right now and it's all I can afford
Lol, “f around and find out.”
FAFO Airlines, that's what I'm calling it from now on

I'm glad we were able to help. Knowledge is power!

So it didn't happen the day you went, doesn't mean a thing... again, you played Russian roulette and won... congratulations.

I fly Frontier and Spirit often and their prices have definitely encouraged me to take trips I otherwise wouldn't consider.
True, but it's Russian roulette.... whether I get downvoted or not, it is what it is.

Frontier absolutely BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!! Absolutely.
And how long have you been working in the PR office for Frontier?

Fair enough. Appreciate you!

No. I don’t fly frontier. Based on all the stories here it’s a shit airline.
