Frontier Airlines misleads consumers into believing they are purchasing lower-priced airfare than they actually are and isn’t upfront about its bag fees, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiff Amira Hamad claims Frontier “makes up whatever discount it purports” by hitting its customers with “fraudulent and unwarranted charges” related to fees for personal items and checked and carry-on bags.
“FRONTIER’s bait-and-switch and ‘gotcha’ tactics are designed to confuse, trick, and trap consumers to the public’s detriment,” the Frontier class action states.
Hamad wants to represent a nationwide class of consumers.
Frontier intentionally hides bag fees, other charges from consumers, class action says
Hamad argues Frontier “does not make its fee structure clear” to its customers at the time they purchase tickets, and that it is even more unclear when a purchase is made with a third-party vendor.
Further, Frontier is accused of intentionally hiding fees from consumers as a way to “fraudulently induce sales.”
“FRONTIER’s fees are not conspicuously shown on its website or on the websites of third-party vendors, and consumers are often unaware of FRONTIER’s large and plentiful fees until after they purchase a ticket that initially appeared attractive,” the Frontier class action states.
Hamad claims Frontier is guilty of breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation, under Florida common law, and of violating the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and Florida laws regarding misleading advertising.
Plaintiff is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory relief along with an award of actual and punitive damages for herself and all class members.
In another case involving a company called Frontier, a class action lawsuit was filed against Frontier Communications in 2020 by a consumer arguing the cable company charges more than what its customers agreed to pay for its services.

Frontier STOLE over $400 from me, by making me keep redoing my original flight every 90 days to “keep” my credits at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown. With all the fees, my $400 ticket “credits” was gone within a year, and I never got a flight.
Please add me. I purchased the tickets because they advertised they were the cheapest, little did I know I also had to pay for the seats and luggage

I purchased round trip tickets on Frontier for my wife and myself. Frontier cancelled the outbound portion of the round trip. Ewe cancelled our reservation at the airport and they charged us for the unused return ticket. They strained us in NY and still expected us to get to FL on our own to use the return tickets.
Frontier website is misleading and confusing. All the add-ons raise advertised prices significantly. On my last flight, my checked bags (that I paid extra fees for) were lost … finally showed up 3 days later! Requested a a refund on bags but never heard from them!
Yes they said nothing till after u bought the ticket
