![]() Rebooking Frontier’s canceled flightsįrontier will book you to the next flight available, but it’s just about guaranteed to be the worst flight you can possibly imagine. ![]() This August, however, they delayed my flight home from Ohio, then delayed it more, then canceled it due to “mechanical difficulties.” I didn’t think this would be a big deal–airlines generally help you rebook a flight–but I was wrong. I had never had an issue with them, but I’d only flown with the airline a few times. Frontier also has a reputation for canceling and delaying flights. Based on news of pilot strikes and lawsuits this summer, employees aren’t too happy with work conditions and pay. It’s ridiculous.īut anyway! Another thing to take into consideration is Frontier’s reputation. The marketing team was just in Austin this summer where they hosted an event and gave out free $10 discount codes, which doesn’t seem like much, but off of a $39 fare, it’s nothing to sneeze at.Īs a side note, if anyone can inform me as to where the phrase nothing to sneeze at came from, I’d be much obliged. If you live in a city Frontier flies to, you might be able to score discount codes, anyway. ![]() If not, skip the Discount Den Membership. So before you go joining just to get that discounted fare, make note of the routes Frontier flies and decide if you think you’ll be taking at least three round-trip journeys to those places in a 12-month period. Based on the fact that most Discount Den tickets are only discounted by $10 per one-way flight, you’d have to fly five one-way trips with Frontier to break even. Whether or not the price tag is worth it depends on how often you fly with the airline. Miles, Discounts and Reputationīut back to the subject at hand: Is Frontier Airlines worth the money you save? Well, Frontier offers miles in accordance with distance flown for no extra charge, as any airline should, so that’s nice, but they also have a paid membership plan that offers discounted fares. (Though Allegiant doesn’t offer any sort of miles program, which is a downer). Often, Frontier or Allegiant are my first choices of airlines if I need to book a quick trip home to Ohio to visit family or cheap weekend city escape. ![]() Personally, because I can usually pack everything I need in a small personal item and don’t care about where I sit and travel with my own snacks and water bottle anyway, the lack of included amenities doesn’t bother me. Even my opinion on the airline changes from day to day. (Good thing we know how to pack everything in a “personal item!“) So when you’re looking for cheap flights, is Frontier Airlines worth the money you save? No snacks, no drinks, you have to pay to pick your tiny seat with less legroom than most other airlines, and you don’t even get a full-size carry-on. Flying with Frontier is a cheap way to travel, but is it worth the money you save?įrontier Airlines is known far and wide (in the States, at least) for being one of the cheapest no-frills airlines. ![]()
