I’m a United loyalist but can’t not pay attention to the lower fares Frontier offers for the same route. I checked their site and there’s a confusing assortment of fees. Anyone care to share their Frontier experience?

Frontier is like Spirit airlines. Don't waste your time at all. Fee every little thing.

Frontier is no frills. Similar width on seats but likely less pitch particularly given you can probably get United Economy Plus. Tiny tray tables, so don’t expect to put down more than a cup and a phone. Fees for seat selection. Fees for carryon bags. No interline agreements in the event of delays/cancellations.

I won’t say to never fly Frontier (or Spirit, etc.), just know what you’re getting into upfront.

I fly them (and other budget carriers) regularly. I have a bag I know fits into the sizer even when overstuffed. It has enough space for me for 3-4 day trips. I almost never get a carry on or check a bag, and I don’t pay for seat/boarding upgrades.

I am generally an unfussy traveler though and it helps. I don’t really care about boarding first, don’t mind a cramped cabin, I don’t mind getting a middle seat. If you care even an iota about those things you will likely have a rough time.

Can’t say I’ve experienced any more or less delays/cancellations on the budget carriers than on the standard carriers.

I think they’re worth it for a lot of routes I fly. They are so much cheaper it feels borderline irresponsible to fly any other way.

Objectively, Frontier and Spirit have some of the highest delay rates in the business

Child care when traveling for work should be expensable… also dog boarding… I cannot get over how things like first class seats and any meals for higher ups, dry cleaning, ubers/lyfts over cheaper options, etc. all are expensable but essential costs you need to foot when traveling like child care and dog boarding are not expensable. I wish we had a per diem like allotment rather than actual costs so we could use money left over if we choose cheaper options so we could use the money we save
