A slice of good
Had quite the travel day yesterday. Flight originally delayed 15 mins- nbd. I check flight aware and my flight is STILL in Dallas. Whatever- I’ll go to the bar and grab a snack. Delayed again. This time for 2 hours and 15 mins. Keep checking and my plane is taxiing in Dallas for over two hours. Now frontier is saying they found us a new plane and delay it to 8:30 (original flight supposed to leave at 5). All of us are just excited to have a plane again. Also, I’m gowild so this flight only costed me $15 so I couldn’t really complain too much. Frontier issues my meal voucher as we are boarding. Sweet! I wasn’t really expecting anything since it’s frontier but now my flight was free! We get boarded- wait at the gate for an HOUR before the pilot comes on and tells us to deplane- bad engine. Lots of angry flyers now. We all march over to the new gate with new departure time 10:20. 10:15 rolls around and no announcements. I tell the girl next to me jokingly that “we can still make 10:20 if they board everyone rlly fast” and they immediately come on and start boarding us. Finally landed in okc around 1am CT. I fly frontier a lot so I really wasn’t expecting any sort of compensation from them but I was pleasantly surprised when I got home to a $50 VOUCHER in my email!! Basically made $$ (even though I could have driven in the time it took) All this to say that: if you’re flying frontier, keep your expectations low. And who knows! They might surprise you.
