Where are you flying from? My gripe with Frontier has been that from our city (Buffalo), they only offer flights on certain days of the week and only at one time each day. We haven't yet found that Frontier's flights align with our travel plans, and the flight prices are on par with Southwest, so we just book Southwest for more time options. And with so few flights in and out of Buffalo, any delays may be trip-ruining.
Not sure when you last checked but for Orlando specifically, they seem to have had daily flights for a while. Only 1 nonstop but several more with stops. I've been watching for a trip I'm helping plan for a friend.
We had a 3-4 hour delay. And that was a morning flight, too, when delays are more rare. No weather issues, just unreliable airline issues. That was 10-ish years ago and I haven't flown them since.As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm having a hard time finding decent flight prices for our late August trip. I've heard horror stories about Spirit, but never anything bad about Frontier. Has anyone flown them? What was your experience?
What kind of experiences have you all had with NOT paying for seat assignments, but still being able to sit together?
I'm so torn about this! Online reviews are TERRIBLE! But it seems they're terrible about things you kind of know to expect going in. I did the math and they're about $400 less than JetBlue and Southwest after you include the Perks Pkg for seating and luggage. And the times work for us - they're flying on the days that we're traveling, and both flights (to and from) take off around 1pm and land around 4 pm. I don't care much about the food/drinks because I can buy those before getting on the plane if I really want to. I think Wi-Fi would be my biggest gripe. But is Wi-Fi worth $400? Not sure.
I hate hate hate the airfare gamble game before trips!!
So far we've been sat together each time and we travel as up to 5 people. You get an assigned seat at check in so I'd just suggest checking in as soon as you are able at the 24 hour mark.
Thanks for the information, we will be a group of 4 with two young girls. I always check in as soon as possible on the mobile App. When you say get assigned seats is that something you can go ahead and do at check in on the app or do you have to wait until at the gate?

If it is imperative to sit together purchase seats as soon as possible. There might not be any together at 24 hour mark. Just because one person has luck doesn’t mean there will be any together on your flight. Not trying to be mean but this is not a place to cut costs.
