Flight prices are plummeting
- Thread starter bye
- Start date
I don't get it. Last year I flew Frontier for the first time. I thought it was great, I had zero issues. It was actually the flight back with American that was much much worse. What's so bad about Frontier?
I think I might bite the bullet and go to England finally from NJ. It's like $330 roundtrip in May. Fucking steal. Just need to find somewhere to stay in London? 🤔

It's the wealthy Ree elite looking down their nose. Literally that's it. Nobody else outside this site gives a fuck what airline you fly on.
I've flown Spirit, Frontier, Southwest, whatever. It's a seat on an airplane so I can get across the country in a few hours for half the price of anything else. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Imagine booking a trip with someone in real life and them scoffing at the choice in airline lol.
Did you really just use "Ree?" Come on.
But yes, there is nothing wrong with Frontier. You just have to know what you are getting.
Exactly, I fly spirit all the time and its just fine, it gets you from point A to point B like all flights. I fly delta and united occasionally as well when going to hawaii to visit family, but the quality difference between those 2 tiers is not that much, and I say that as a 6'2 dude.
Wonder why...

The only ones flying now are those that pretty much have to. My wife and I killed all plans of flying anywhere for at least the next year plus.

Or maybe we've just had bad experiences and rather avoid the airline unless it's a last resort.
No nevermind, you're right, we're just rich elitist assholes.
I guess for every bad experience there are good ones? I've flown Frontier at least 5 times now and have never had an issue. They provide direct flights out of Buffalo that save me a ton of time and money. So with that in mind I don't care about paying for my seat selection, my luggage, or a snack/drink.
The couple times I've flown Spirt haven't been bad at all. I'm 5'9 and every time my GR2 has passed the personal item test which is all I ever really carry anyways. If it's the cheapest I don't really care the problem with them is their low number of flights.
Also just booked a trip to San Diego in May, $91 each way is the cheapest I've seen on Southwest.
The wife and I are going to London and Paris this week (from Florida) for 8 days
We bought the tickets like 5 months ago, if I knew I coulda just waited for a viral outbreak and gotten cheap flights I never would have clicked that button!!

That's great.
I never told anyone here that their good experiences never mattered.
Plus in some instances after paying for bags it came out to the same price or more than some American flights that allowed one free carry on.
I'm not coming on here to tell anyone how to fly it's just weird to see people feel personally attacked for not like their airline.
There's reasons to be weary of spirit and frontier, they'll give all fuck about you if they cancel your flight, got stuck in Baltimore once had to pay my own hotel and flight back on another airline because spirit only offered to refund my lost flight.
Yeah, I'm wondering if the virus could wipe-out low cost carriers across the board. So many are already struggling and they have such low margins. On the other hand, fuel price is also crashing so they have that going for them.
Then it's equally as weird for people to come on here telling people not to fly these same airlines.
Are you very short? Because I'm over 6 feet tall and can tell you that flights like Spirit and Frontier are nightmares for me and that's just referring to their seats.
I don't see anyone slamming Southwest.
If I'm flying to Italy for my honeymoon on Norwegian in June should I be more worried about all flights to Italy being grounded or Norwegian not existing?
My wife and I have flown Spirit almost 10 times now and save for a one time 2hr delay that was clearly due to weather its always been pleasant. Yeah their seats aren't comfy but that's my only gripe. The staff on the plane were always awesome and fun.
I've had more issues with bigger airlines than smaller ones but I'm sure YMMV.

Flights to LAX at the start of April have plummeted from ÂŁ570 to ÂŁ412. I was hoping to go to Disneyland so I've been tracking prices.

JFK-SGN 8/12-21/12 = 516$
American is a bus. Frontier is a craglists dude in a minivan driving you cross country.
Who charges you extra if you have more than a backpack or want to stop for snacks halfway.
Once I flew home from FL to NY via Spirit. I was at the edge of my seat the whole flight. Felt that plane was gonna come apart any minute with the squeaking going on.
Edit : from Chicago my bad.

Most airlines are doing free changes for up to a year for whatever that is worth
Chicago San Fran for $220 roundtrip via United . End of May
Chicago to Paris to India, roundtrip: $710 via Air France. August 15-September
Found these via Google flights. Cheaper than the others

Yeah, besides the seats being a bit uncomfortable, I just don't see why people want to spend ~$200 more on a round trip ticket just to get a bit more comfortable trip and some chips and a Coke on a 2-3 hour flight. I rather have the $200 in my pocket. 🤷🏽‍♂️
As a 6'2 guy at 240 pounds flying Spirit or Frontier wrecks me. I'd rather pay Southwest or Jetblue, or if no other option just get the big seat at spirit.
You see, this is a completely valid reason to do it. But I've heard some people say that they won't use Spirit because "they don't have a monitor on the headrests and they charge you for snacks!". Guess what, JetBlue is charging you for those every time you book a flight.
This is really going to be interesting to see if/when a tourism decline hits Orlando.
Lmao
I'm 6'1 and about 215, never had an issue on any flights before.
I just lump Southwest in with "discount" airlines because the price is usually the same (but they offer a few more perks) and I've also seen it raked on here as an "inferior" airline in lots of previous air travel threads.
Man, round trip from Atlanta to Vegas is starting to dip below $300 for actual pick-your-seat Economy (and nearing $200 for basic economy)
God damn. Tempting...
