SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, now that I am COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY TERRIFIED, has anybody flown in or out of the San Diego airport? (Just wondering, are they better or worse at LAX? I think it is a nightmare no matter who you use there...) What were your experiences?
My husband flew Frontier once out of CLE, and his experience was fine. So it bolstered me in trying this flight. I guess I shouldn't have trusted him....plus, he's 6'5" so he always complains about the seats... nobody usually gives him a hard time--funny because he is total pushover--but he only had his computer bag. He will not be with us on the first leg...just the kids and I.
My brother used to live in Denver--he swore by them--and they had a non-stop to Newport News, that my mom flew on many times with great success. BUT, that was before they became the MegaBus of the Sky.
I almost clicked on carry ons, too. It was $10 MORE expensive than a checked bag for me. I think it was $25/$35 or $30/$40!
It was confusing. I sorry you got a bad deal. Since they say they have a 24-hour free cancelation, you'd think that they would not charge you a change fee...
Good to know. May I ask, where do you usually leave from?
Ugh! Which airport did they hassle you about the neck pillows? It seems insane...
Good grief!
I TRIED, I just could not get anything reasonable--and almost nothing on a non-stop--out of LAX, SAN, Palm Springs, SNA, or ONT...they were almost $300 more expensive than anybody...United, Delta, AA, etc.
My second-oldest daughter just flew on them from Longbeach to San Francisco...it was a super short flight, but she hasn't stopped talking about how great it was and how much leg room she had...which, of course, she doesn't even need at 5'2"! LOL.
Honestly, I have never flown on them as I remember all too vividly the pics their plane crashing in the everglades when I was a teen-ager...
lol!
You ALMOST gave me hope....
That is freaking amazing!! Congrats...it is almost as good as winning the lottery.
Good luck!
OMG...I might not be sleeping for the next 25 nights thinking about this...I hope we have enough time to buy drinks after we check our bags!! Thanks for the tip!
I wonder if that happens often? I have never seen any SW fares that low anywhere...I guess I am looking in the wrong places! Congrats for your aunt.
UGH!!! Good to know. No need to arrive super early. But that is so scary..
What about the poor folks taking DME that have to get picked up FOUR HOURS before their flight now? I think I would lie about my departure time.
I don't even know what to say...you have just written my worst nightmare. I won't have to worry about getting through the line to buy drinks before boarding. No one is drinking. I HATE CLEAN airplane bathrooms.
After four kids, there is NO WAY I can hold it 5.5 hours...I know, TMI!
Wow...glad to hear a positive report!
YIKES! I wonder if they fired all their old staff when became El Cheapo Air?
I wonder which are the "good" airports? Or if it is just certain people...
I know, you get what you pay for...
Here's to hoping that we have the same experience. Thanks for posting!
THIS is why I decided to try them...I rarely try anything new. Honestly. Now, I am terrified...
