Last early July, I flew with Frontier from LA to Denver, and on my way back, I was charged $99 on my way home to LA. The gate staff said that my wheels were one inch too wide even though the actual luggage met the 14x18x8 dimension policy. Prior to this trip, I had used the exact luggage on three prior round trips including my current outbound trip to Denver, without any fees! At Denver airport, I was targeted by the gate agent because she knew that my luggage had 9" wide wheels instead of 8"! The gate agent was getting a $10 commission for my $99 fee so I knew I couldn't talk any sense into her. I quietly paid the $99 and the next day I filed a complaint with Frontier threatening them that I was going on social media and on the news about their inconsistent luggage policy. Frontier refunded my $99. I'm happy that someone is suing Frontier!

Finally! I've been waiting for someone to do this. Frontier deserves to pay for screwing people over. There are tons of videos on youtube with people whose bags fit perfectly in the sizer and yet they are harassed and forced to pay. Total corruption that the employees get a kickback for scamming people. The FAA needs to step in as well to protect passengers from these predatory practices.

It wouldn’t surprise me. Last time I flew with frontier, they legit repeated it 100 times “put your bag in the bag sizer, if it doesn’t fit you gotta pay.” One guy was able to push his bag in to fit and they said “sorry you still gotta pay since you had to stuff it in there.” Plus they’re rude as it gets while doing it, basically telling you pay or take a hike. Legit delaying flights to make sure to charge as much people as possible. They chased me away for good, I’ll never fly frontier again.

I just watched a video of Frontier gate staff who attempted to charge 4 passengers for what they claimed were oversized carry-on bags. They did this even though each passenger showed the staff that their bags fit inside Frontier's own "personal items" bag sizer. However, they then punished the 4 passengers by not allowing them to board, using the excuse that the gate was closed, which brought one man to tears. The staff even went as far as calling the cops on the person who videoed the incident, falsely accusing him of harassment. One of the cops sympathetically confided to the man that they get a lot of calls to Frontier because they always have a lot of problems. The video is on KZbin. It's titled "Frontier Airline Freakout". Never fly Frontier.

But that's the point, travel light and take whatever seat is free. Paying next to nothing for airfare means that you can spend more at one's destination. If you are going to pay for carry on baggage, seat assignment fees, food, etc. then in most cases it would cost the same to fly a regular airline. But even the regular airlines charge fees. If I travel the discount airlines, I pack very little and buy stuff while I'm on vacation. Then I can store those items in my coat pockets or send them back home via UPS or FedEx, It's cheaper than paying to check or carry on extra baggage.

A backpack is a personal item on American Airlines, united and delta. Crazy part is that faa regulations make it mandatory for airlines to give the same personal item space under the seat. So if you fly the same aircraft the a320 neo on American and frontier that same bag will fit under the seat. Frontier is giving false information to costumers, as those bag that are personal items that is slightly bigger will fit. It fits on all other airlines.

In multiple videos, I see people dropping adult backpacks, most are stuffed to the brims width-wise, and able to fit in the bins for spirit, etc.. Does spirit and frontier personal bins have different dimensions? Because the gentleman in the video that I saw that said it fit in the one for budget,but it didn’t fit for the frontier one??

I hope she WINS!!! My worst experience flying was with Frontier. Another Frontier scam is where they show u the available flights. Many will have a day layover but ONE appears as if u will arrive same day. Well I quickly purchased that flight. The very next day, I get an alert indicating a change to my flight😳 Keep in mind, my flight was a month away. I tried contacting an agent and speaking with a representative... that's when I found out they did away with Live agents. Talk about frustrating. Since we had a day layover, we HAD to opt for a carry-on (since our checked luggage would be headed home). Hubby and I generated one carry-on, had to get a hotel... and jus other unnecessary fees for a flight we didn't choose. I believe that's part of their scam as well. You think you're selecting a flight but ultimately they're going to give u the flight they want to give you and there's nothing you can do about it. Also, I considered CANCELING the flight since I had plenty of time to find a new flight with another airline but I believed, in that moment, that the process would have caused more issues; plus there's no financial department to call for assistance.

I was flying with Frontier last year and right before we boarded the plane, they made a last minute announcement saying that prepaying for your bag is cheaper than paying at the airport if it doesn't meet the requirements. I was the last person to board the plane and I watched person after person getting told they had to pay the $99 fee for their bag. When it was my turn, the lady told me that my regular sized backpack was too big and I had to pay the fee. I asked to put my bag in the thing that measures it and she said it has to fit and when she turned around for a second and I just used all my strength to shove my backpack in there and make it fit. My family members from overseas that was flying with Frontier on the same route but an earlier flight each had to pay the fee(there was 5 of them). It is almost like they target people and get as many people as they can, it's insane. During the pandemic they were letting people in with bags stuffed to the point where the zipper almost broke, the only rule they enforced was wearing a mask.

The staff told him that he cannot carry his mother’s back pack and made her carry the backpack at the time of gate check in.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO!!! A few months ago I was flying from Baltimore to Atlanta, and was looking to get the cheapest tickets so I got the one flying there on Frontier, and the other on Spirit. I didn’t want to pay for a bag, so I decided to do personal item only, using my rolling backpack which I frequently travel with as a personal item that fits under the seat on multiple airlines. As I was boarding, they made me put the backpack inside of the box and it couldn’t fit all the way in, so they charged me $99!!! Even though it still fit in my underseat on that flight!!!Once I got to the destination airport, I tested it again comparing the boxes at Spirit and Frontier to see if I needed to pay for my bag on Spirit, and the rolling backpack FIT on Spirit, so I didn’t have to pay! I found Frontier airlines to be the worst airline I’ve ever traveled with.

Good for them. I flew Frontier cross country tonight. They now have another way to grift off passengers. If you don’t pay for seats together in advance, you will be seated separately in your party even if everyone is on the same reservation. They sent me my seats a day before checkin. They were in different parts of the plane for two of us. The idea is that this is so intolerable to you that you will spend $49 or more just to get seats together. You can’t just change one seat. You have to change both. I was also asked to size my bag despite the fact I bought the bag with the exact dimensions that meet their criteria just to fly Frontier and Spirit. Come on…. It was embarrassing, humiliating and totally unnecessary. They should have visually seen it was the kind of bag sold just for this purpose.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all. I flew from Orlando to Vegas on Frontier a few months ago. I had one checked bag that came in a couple pounds over. Just in case this happened, I had a toiletry bag that I could easily pull out of my checked luggage and place in my carry on to reduce the weight. When I did this, the attendant refused to weigh the bag again and demanded I pay the fee or I couldn’t check my bag for the flight. I also noticed that they lowered the weight limit from 50 to 40lbs for checked luggage. It’s a straight scam operation.

I bring a backpack during flights but it is for my documents/IDs, my noise cancelling headphones, portable charger, a set of clothes and medicines and make sure I put it under the seat in front of me. I check a luggage too almost every flight. It is a hassle to put those in a carryon when I need to get my portable charger or headphones. Not everyone bringing a backpack is cheap, just being more practical. But I get what you mean and irritates me so much when I see people putting both their backpack and carryon in the overheads.

I had a similar issue at BOS this summer with United Airlines. Their baggage scale was reading a few pounds too high, and they tried to charge me the $50 overweight fee. I knew what it weighed, and had previously weighed it on a scale a couple of scales over (also United) while rearranging my items between bags. So I called them on it when doing the final checkin, pointing to the scale to the right that confirmed the weight was OK. They knew that I knew, so they gave me a pass. Otherwise we'd be suing them for $1B.

🤦🤦 Don't be low IQ. The reason they charge more at the gate is to discourage travelers from taking the gamble and seeing if the attendant won't notice their bags. You clearly have no idea how many people are always looking to scam a company out of any money they can. If they allowed you to pay the same fee at the gate, they'd have 70% of their passengers with oversized bags. The way the passengers see it, a) the attendant doesn't notice and they get free baggage or b) they do notice and pay the fee they would have paid. But yeah, the airline should totally change their policy to benefit scammers and people who can't plan ahead and hurt their business.

We had a connecting flight in Denver and would not be allowed to board without paying $100 for each small bag. We wanted to consolidate the bags because we didn’t have that much stuff to pay $100 a piece. Mom and aunties had food in their bags so they wanted to throw them away. Frontier agents were horrible. They would let them throw them away. They threatened to pull us from the flight as disruptive passengers. We ended up paying for the baggage to make our flight but I have not flown with them again. Horrible workers in Denver. Karma’s a bitch and I hope these workers and frontier get what they deserve.

Everyone knows that they charge more when you’re at the gate then when you’re at the counter checking in or online. Also, every airline has a little bit different size on personal bag but yeah if they shrinking the size at the gate that’s totally messed up
@AFIDesign
@AFIDesign Жыл бұрын
They aren't shrinking, people just don't read carefully and follow the rules, then cry victim if they get called out on it. I travel frequently and the sizers are the same for each airline in the front of the airport and at the gate. Key thing to note is that different airlines have different bag sizing guidelines.

Flight from LAS to SLC. I had just flown on Frontier and this was the return trip - all I had was my briefcase. Nasty gate attendant made me personally show her that my briefcase fit - guy behind me puts his bag in and cuts the crap out of his finger. Get on the flight and the guy behind asks for a band-aid to help with the bleeding - flight attendant says NO. I offer him a sterile cleaning wipe and a band-aid. Never again Frontier - never again. I fly alot - worst airline in the US.

Well now I know never to use Frontier when it comes to flying. Bare in mind that I've never flown on the airline, but being charged $100 to put a bag under the plane sounds very excessive, especially when most other airlines don't even charge that much for putting the bags under. Also it seems to me that their measurements are way smaller than most others as well. I don't even have a bag that's 18" to begin with (mine is 20). I feel like the low cost airlines in Europe are way better at this process in general as I've flown theirs once & didn't have a single issue.

Frontier is extremely messy. People frequently complain about them and Spirit all the time. If it's not dubious fees, it's (significant) lateness due to maintenance. The last 3 times I've flown pretty much brought me to my breaking point. Luckily I didn't have much commitments then, now I do - so no more Frontier for me.

Frontier did this on purpose. I fly to denver out of indy a few times a year. Frontier always had good flight times so I bought a bag that met the size requirements. I flew with it several times and it was always fine. Then on a RETURN flight they popped me $100 for my bag. Get that, Fine on the way there $100 on the way back. The fricking bag only cost $69 to buy it. To Frontier: I haven't flown your airline since. I hope you banked that $100 cause your not getting any more from me.

You’re making a technical distinction that’s pointless. Do you really think passengers give two shits who writes a gate agent’s paycheck? Regardless if they’re a contractor or direct employee of Frontier, they’re the face of the airline and doing direct work for them. They are the ones incentivized by the airline to engage in baggage fee bait and switch fraud. If your point is a legal technicality (and full disclosure, I’m a lawyer and judge of over 26 years) it’s a moot point even still since Frontier bears direct liability for their front line employees contractually in this scenario under federal law.

All you people complaining need to remember: you CHOSE to fly Frontier. And you probably chose to fly them because they have a very cheap fare. That fare "unbundled" from the what most people expect from air travel. There's a reason major airlines will charge, say, $432 for the same route that a low cost carrier might charge $129. It's because they have bundled everything into a more "complete" product while the low cost carriers give you a seat. If you want to select that seat, that costs more. If you want snacks, that costs more, if you want a carry-on, that costs more. If you elected to pay all those fees, guess what?? Your total cost would probably come out to be somewhere around that $432 mark that a major legacy carrier charges. It's pretty well known that no matter how much hassle and frustration people go through with airlines, they always come back to choose the lower fare. So all you people complaining, the airline doesn't care because they know you'll be back to buying their airfare the next time you want to fly to Vegas and Frontier is charging $89 while American charges $159. All that being said, this will be interesting to see how this suit plays out. If the allegations are true that employees are getting commissions, it's very believable that they would manipulate post-security bag sizer boxes to get a few extra bucks. Again, these are low cost carriers which means they have very narrow margins. They're not known for having the highest quality employees or very good pay, in my extensive experience working at airports, the employees that work for the low cost carriers or handle their flights (sometimes they contract out to other companies) aren't very honest or competent.

I dont agree with the frontier bag situation, but why fly frontier when other airlines dont have a bag fee or bags fly free. The only reason your flying frontier is because of the low air fare or else you be flying united american or delta or southwest.

But if its a free charge bag then it should be free if its stated.
