Frontier airlines review Fuck frontier airlines. I was flying to Vegas on Friday night for the when we were young festival. It was a non stop flight from San Francisco to Vegas. Piece of cake. I paid for my bags ($140) and thought all was well. I get to Vegas, and my bag is still in San Fran. What the fuck. The rep at baggage told me that it’ll be on the first flight t…

Do airlines blacklist unruly travellers? I keep reading about passengers who do crazy things mid flight and are either met by security at the gate or even force a plane to make an unscheduled stop. Other than legal issues, do these passengers get any other comeuppance? Like being blacklisted by the airline or even added to the TSA no fly list? Do airlines share this info? submitted…

Airlines Would Save So Much More Money If We Weren’t All So Fat Airlines such as American, Delta and United all make billions of dollars every year, but like other companies, they would like to make even more money than they already do. Unfortunately for them, there’s one big problem standing in their way — Americans are just too darn fat. The good news is, if we all start taking… Read more…

In defense of budget airlines… Particularly, Spirit. I’ve had 2 nightmarish experiences in less than 6 months with major airlines and delays (Delta from SAN and AA from BOS). I fly major airlines for work (just main cabin, they don’t pay for business!), but I also travel between the Midwest and Caribbean several times a year for leisure and Spirit is by far the cheapest optio…

China Eastern Airlines, are they reliable? Trip to Japan with 1H30 connection As title, i was looking for some flights from Italy to Japan in november, and the best offer is made by China Eastern Airlines, a company i’ve never heard of.

Adding extra checked baggage for journeys operated by multiple airlines I booked a flight on the Lufthansa website from London – Frankfurt – Singapore – Perth (~22 hour journey). London – Singapore is operated by Lufthansa, and Singapore – Perth is operated by Singapore Airlines. After booking, I was told that I am not allowed to pre-book additional checked luggage because of the two different airlines, and have to …

Is there a catch with Frontier Airlines? So I’ve never booked a flight before. I see a flight that I want to book listed at $94 I got really excited. On the other hand, I’ve learned if something is too good to be true it usually is. So what’s the catch here? I’ve heard of Spirit Airlines being a nightmare, is Frontier in that same category? submitted by /u/2kfan

I Had An Almost Unbelievable Experience With Spirit Airlines And I Don’t Know What To Do About It I was mistreated by Spirit Airlines this past week. I’ll try to keep this short, but basically, I had a flight out of Boston about 5:30. We board the aircraft, then about an hour later the pilot tells us we can go ahead and get off but to stay nearby. There was maintenance but no one knew how long it was going to take. Then 2 hours later or so w…

Anyone fly Play Airlines? Looking at using Play airlines from Washington DC over to Europe. They are several thousand dollars cheaper than the major lines and with 5 people flying it adds up fast!

Airlines with “unlimited” snacks and drinks in long haul? Hello! I have always used to travel Europe-America in low cost airlines, which offer everything, even water, on charge. Las year, the cheapest option was AirFrance, which, after the meals, left an open box of snacks and drinks in the back of the plane to have a treat whenever needed. It was quite entertaining and nice to have that option in a 9+…

We paid $4999 per person for round trip business class tickets.

Singapore Airlines and AeroMobile’s data roaming scam cost me 3700 USD. Beware and avoid them.

The delay is clearly shown on Aeromexico and the airport websites, but LATM are …

The double-decker airliners built early during the aircraft’s production run are reaching the end of their service lives. It would be easy to assume that a plane as significant as the world’s largest passenger airliner… Read more…

Why do some airlines cancel flights so regularly? I live in the UK and have had about 3-4 flights cancelled in the last year or so out of about 30-40 flights, this isn’t lots but it’s enough to notice a trend. I do occasionally look at flightradar24 for my local airport and it’s quite common for at least 1 flight a day to be cancelled. This is just a small-medium airport with about 50 flights a…
