Frontier had this deal where
Frontier had this deal where if you booked flights mid-week and mid-day, tickets were cheaper. My sisters and I thought it was a great idea, so we booked from Trenton to West Palm Beach, flying Wednesday to Tuesday (2/12-2/18). We checked in online and got our seats, but I paid extra so we could sit together. Maureen is in her 70s and Kathy is 80 and disabled. Everything was set – rental car, accommodations, and my brother and his family were meeting us.
At the airport, we got through security and waited to board. The gate agent said they overbooked and offered $500 for volunteers. We couldn’t give up our seats. When our Zone was called, our boarding passes had an error. The gate agent was rude and yelled at us, making a scene. Security came over, and everyone stared. They said we couldn’t board because they didn’t get enough volunteers. Kathy started crying. Eventually, three people didn’t show, so we got on but couldn’t sit together. Turns out, people who bought tickets that day paid more, so they got our seats. Frontier’s policy is really messed up – highest bidder wins your seat. It’s unfair, especially when you plan your whole trip around those flights.
