    They’re great for day trips out of town where you’re bringing nothing with you. If you don’t care where you sit, if it’s a short flight (under 2 hours), and if you don’t bring anything, you can score an INSANE deal.

      I regularly fly with just a personal item between Atlanta and Orlando and Spirit and Frontier are my top choices for this trip just cuz they're so damn cheap. Even weekend trips are always under $80 roundtrip, most of the time it's around $50. Insane.

  • @jamiestanley9234

    I am flying frontier for the first time this summer. I got 3 round trip tickets, upgraded to seats on row 3 for all of us, paid for 3 checked bags, and it was $730! Flights are non stop and under 2 1/2 hours. This is waaaay cheaper than any other airline I checked. Now I will say don’t go into a budget airline flight expecting it to be southwest 😂 we will bring our own snacks/drinks. And as for entertainment, are we so far gone that we can’t make it a few hours without Wi-Fi?! It’s all what you make it. Don’t have high expectations but also maintain a positive attitude!

    I NEVER check bags no matter where I am going, even overseas. I am the packing Queen! I'm flying Frontier on a two hr, non-stop flight soon. Taking a personal item, within their measurements, lightly packed. Costing me less than $50 (the city bus to the airport, which I travel for free, is 1 block from my house.) It's a budget airline and for 2 hrs I can forgo any 'perks.'

    If u have no bags at all it's a great choice but they kill u on bags. Frontier just lowered the checked bags to 40 POUNDS. FOR $80. If your going to somewhere where your gonna buy alot of souvenirs it's much better to use SW or American to fly back.

      So, if one round trip flight is $400 with carry-on allowed, and Frontier is $150 for the same itinerary but $80 each way for carry on. Even if you have a carry-on you still save about $100 with Frontier. If you don’t have a carry-on, you saved more than $200

    It depends on the duration of the trip if it’s a 3 night summer trip or 2 night winter trip or double that with vacuum bags, I would go for Frontier. Otherwise I’d do the math. I flew frontier to Vegas and I’m pleasantly surprised, the seats are super firm but I was comfortable. The stretch seats are just as firm but very comfortable and I literally fell asleep on my return flight. I might as well use Frontier even for a business trip because I work for a smaller company.

    Flew with Frontier 3x. Progressively worse. If you don’t mind never get to go on the flight you actually booked, if you don’t mind them switching your flight time to 6 a.m. without your permission, if you don’t mind repeated delays, one that makes you miss your connecting flight, if you didn’t mind being stranded in an airport for 24 hrs with young children and you can’t get your luggage--then use Frontier. It’s not a discount if you don’t actually get what you paid for!

  • @RB-gt8bf
    @RB-gt8bf ปีที่แล้ว

    Question: Thanks for info. Once I have booked a flight and paid for a particular seat can I go back and change to a stretch seat and pay the additional cost? We paid for our seat select, board first, and a carry on. Oh also can we bring an empty steel 20 ounces reusable bottle thru TSA and fill before we get on our flight, or can we bring a bottle of water purchased after getting thru TSA. We do have TSA precheck already too.

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  ปีที่แล้ว

      As long as they are available then yes you can always upgrade through the app or online website.
      Yes I carry a yeti large Tumblr empty through TSA for a long haul flights to keep my water cool which I purchase after TSA.
      You can always take on water, coke etc into the plane which I highly recommend.

    Lots of great tips. If already purchased checked bags with the bundle, do I also need to pay (in advance or at airport) to talk with an agent when checking the bags? I plan to use my phone for boarding pass so didn’t add on the “pre-purchase agent assistance” but now wondering if should have pre-purchased because of the checked bags.
    Also looking forward to being done with the useless masks.

    • @Zachus

    I just flew Frontier from CUN to MCO FOR $99 on a Sunday. It was the most perfect airline I've ever flown on. I had a medical issue and was looked after by the ground crew and treated excellently. No complaints what's so ever. It was a two hour flight so no annoying food carts blocking bathroom usage. The cabin crew was great not as intrusive as those on other airlines. I chose random seating and got the one I would have chosen. I'll fly it again just to check if it was just a lucky roll of the dice. No charge for my backpack either. BINGO!

    Flying from Orlando to Dallas $97 RT. I don't travel with my kitchen sink. Leave all your crap at home that you won't be using any ways. I've flown Frontier many times and had all great experiences. The plane that I will be on tomorrow has over 200 empty seats , I don't care where I sit. If some big dude is sitting by me , I'll move over one. Tip= instead of 8 hrs of sleep the night before I go for 4 hrs, get on the plane and zonk out. 3 hrs later the pilot is saying "Ladies and gentleman welcome to Dallas"

    • @Zachus

      You have to secure your own testing and then just show proof that you took the test within 24hrs of your flight leaving. So if you leave at 12pm, you have to have a test taken at 12pm the previous day or later. Rapid test are accepted so you can take some with you or most hotels internationally will set you up.

      Its on your boarding pass. When they scan it, if you don't have a carry on it will alert them to check and they will ding you to pay at the gate is more as well. I've seen them do this to people trying to sneak it by. For sure cheaper to add carry on, checked, etc. in the app before you get to the airport.

      Unless it's something crazy like a maxed-out 45L backpack as a personal item, you should be fine. I fly pretty loaded and if you pay for carry on they let you on first and love you.

      No. You never needed anything to fly domestic except Hawaii and PR but even they have dropped this.
      You only still need a negative test if coming back into the USA internationally and when flying to some countries but most hand removed this such as Ireland, UK, Dubai, etc. Mexico never had required one which is why it's become popular to vacation there.
      The only thing for domestic travel is wearing a mask on a plane but this should be removed by April 19th

    Frontier doesn’t have enough staff, causing a backed up line to check your bag at Orlando airport on 2/14/22 when we were there. Arrived 3 hours early, only to have to stand in a 1.5 hour line to check our suitcase, then another over one hour long line for TSA, causing us to miss our flight by 3 minutes. Cost us $840 we hadn’t budgeted for to book a flight with delta, because frontier didn’t have another flight to our destination until 4 days later. I will never fly frontier again.

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah you cannot miss your flight with any of the budget airlines as they have very little to no extra flights out and usually only fly to destinations on certain days. I'm so sorry this happened. They should have helped you out. We're not flying them again either.

      Orlando airport is horrible. Flew Frontier from New Orleans to Mouseville. Got stuck there because the plane coming in for us to go to Raleigh hit a goose and was grounded. They had to scramble and find another plane for us. (I have no problem with the bird strike - that can cause a ton of damage so it wasn't their fault.) But the communication was terrible. Frontier wants to charge you any way they can and they hard sell you left and right. Brought alone one too many pairs of underwear? That'll cost you $100 at the airport. Leg room is atrocious and I am only 5'2". But I have to say the aircrew was fabulous, funny, and worked their butts off to get us there under tough circumstances.

      Most budget airlines and even some major airlines on newer planes introduced do not recline at all or very little.

The extra leg room is well worth it on any airlines in my opinion. Hope you have an awesome trip!!

      I've never heard of this. In fact with budget carriers like Frontier, Spirit, Allegiant, all charge you more if you interact with a person or wait to the last minute at the airport. It's always cheaper to book online or through their app.
      Did you select a seat or carry-on or checked bag, something other than the round trip ticket? That's probably the extra fee you are seeing. You should have detailed receipt in your email, app and online account.

    I have flown with Frontier and Alligient quite a bit. Theyre good for a weekend trip. I only bring the allowable free personal item, and stuff everything I need into that one small bag. I do choose my seat tho. I flew from EWR to TYS on Alligient couple months back and the flight with my chosen seats and some snacks on the plane was $130 round trip. Totally worth it!

(it says this is new on their website) Looking back now, I booked two one ways due to her departing and landing into two different airports (philly and Trenton to Ft Myers etc). However, if I would have booked it multi ticket or multi direction, could I have just purchased one bundle for the whole reservation? If so, ugh! I paid the $54 for each one way for one checked bag. So, if $155 could have covered both directions, they just don't explain that well online.

    It wasn't a bad experience for the most part. The worst part was kinda our fault but a simple mistake. We purchased the tickets then went to the website a few days later to pay for the luggage. My husband accidently clicked on cancel flight. NO NO NO. Right away he called customer service to hopefully get the cancelation reversed. He said it was canceled by mistake but whoever he talked to said it couldn't be fixed. He talked to several others and nothing doing. We are out $600. Several days later we rebooked on the same flight because it was the best price. So we paid twice for the same flight. Kinda of sickening. Don 't plan on using Frontier again. The seats where really cheap and uncomfortable and the leg room was the worst. The flight attendant's were very nice.
