Yeah they’re similar. Not quite as bad but definitely would never fly frontier again for a flight over 2 hrs

Frontier is a friendly ultra low cost carrier, so expect to pay for everything (carry on bag, etc.) and there will be limited leg room.

That said, Spirit is a sadistic low cost carrier. They revel in your complaints.

How much time ya got? 😂 Also, 85% of the people on the plane have zero clue how to travel which, for some, is fine but for most, you’re stepping into chaos.

I characterize frontier as Spirit but friendlier. They still nickel and dime you but the people are much nicer and they don't do ridiculous asshole moves like charge you for water on your flight.

I’ve never hit a runway as hard as I did flying Frontier. Rookie dropped us from 30 feet. Terrifying flight but it saved me a few bucks to spend on cocktails in Cancun.

Dude I’m looking for flights to Cancun right now and frontier is 164 round trip; American Airlines is 600 lol. I’m thinking frontier??

Pray you won’t need a doctor when you’re on the flight. No doctors are flying Spirit

Spirit but nicer customer experience. They have a codeshare with Volaris too (before covid) , which may be of interest.

I've flown Frontier once on a flight from DCA to SLC. Terrible seats in economy--too upright, too little padding, and too narrow (I have really wide shoulders/back, though, so that last point might not apply to you). My back hurt for several days after the flight.

The actual airline seemed fine, though. I packed light and I didn't have any issues with being nickle and dimed.

The seats are like sitting in a lawn chair. Horrible.
