Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Do yourself a favor and by 2022-23 model Frontier. Will serve you well with almost no issues like Tacoma and cheaper. More comfortable ride than Taco.
  • If you want best value consider the Frontier, it's both reliable and cheap.
  • I actually had a lot of fun reading it, since it kept switching between different points of view characters, showing how the outsider protagonist looked through their eyes and parodying in turn western, mystery, and a few other genres.
  • I'm super happy with my '22 Frontier.

Cons

  • Parent context: Maybe you don't care after an incident like this but worth noting the airline might ban you from flying with them anymore if you file a chargeback against them Reply: Being banned from frontier is a blessing
  • This is what Frontier does in the states and its led to horrendous interactions with gate staff. If a just wheel or even a strap sticks out of their measuring thing they will charge you an oversized bag fee of $100. It's ridiculous
  • I’ve heard horror stories with Frontier gate agents
  • Just go "buy" a 20 yo Frontier off a BHPH lot for 29 APR 94 months, that's more your speed/intellectual level.
  • The Frontier agents get $10 per bag. I can’t imagine the abuse they get. And there is a class action suit against them for rejecting bags that actually fit.

frontier in the US is the only airline I've heard specifically that does not allow squishing.

Parent context: CC chargeback? Reply: Might result in getting banned from Frontier…. But maybe not the worst fate

On May 12, I was flying LAS → STL with Frontier (Flight 3108). I boarded, sat in my assigned seat, and then — after boarding was complete — I was told to get off because the flight was overbooked. ... I filed two formal refund + compensation requests with Frontier on May 25. Since then: nothing. I’ve called, emailed, used their chat, and forms. Always the same answer: “We’ve escalated this, will get back to you within 24 hours.” They never do. It's been 2 months.
