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.

Yes just got back from frontier. Never again. Changed for everything and still wasn’t cheap.
In June 2023 I flew from Ft Lauderdale to Ontario International Airport in CA. I too thought the representation of the fare was very misleading.
I too was over charged number of time flying with frontier. Furthermore not get any recourse.

Yes I flew from Arkansas to Colorado then to Arizona. According to Frontier my carry on bag was to big even though the size was specific to what they allowed as a carry on. So had to check that bag. In Arkansas and then again in Colorado. And had to also pay for the personal carry on bag as well because my backpack had wheels so it had to be checked as well
