Customers are unhappy with Southwest for adding checked bag fees and generally walking back their entire differentiated business model, laying off employees for the first time, and going back on the CEO’s word from just a few months ago about what they had planned.
It’s the perfect time for competitors to capitalize on that dissatisfaction – but this takes it to the next level, and also qualifies as expert trolling. I love it!
On Tuesday evening, Frontier Airlines Flight 3506 from Orlando was coming in to land in San Juan when the Airbus A321neo touched down hard on runway 10. Passengers described it as “shocking” and “horrible.”
An 81-year-old grandmother from the Bronx flew to Puerto Rico on Frontier Airlines with her emotional support animal. It’s an African Grey parrot (not a Norwegian Blue) and its name is Plucky. However, the airline refused to allow her to fly home with it.
A Frontier Airlines passenger took to social media to complain about a pilot on board flight 3212 on Monday wearing a Trump cap while taking them from Los Angeles to Dallas – Fort Worth. This is generally not allowed and the photo is going viral across various social media platforms.
You can only buy tickets in-person at limited hours, but you can’t buy tickets during those hours. That means there’s no real option to buy them in person, which means that booking online isn’t a choice customers are making, and therefore the web booking fee is not optional. Yet Frontier still excludes these charges from their domestic airfare excise tax calculation.
The incident began about 20 minutes into Flight 4856, as he tried to engage the woman seated in the row in front of him. She wasn’t interested, and punched the seat and the plane’s window beside him. As he banged on the window he yelled in several language.
Cracks could be seen – along with his blood – on the window. Several men onboard subdued him using makeshift restraints fashioned from shoestrings, belts, and headphones.
The parties are not far off here! Spirit’s creditors are likely better off with some combination, under new management, than with the standalone turnaround plan. I would have assumed they see this and are negotiating for more rather than actually walking away. Yet Spirit’s bondholders indicated they would not extend the NDAs, effectively preventing further negotiations.
A Frontier Airlines passenger took to the internet to blast her seat opponent. She’s flying the airline’s Airbus A320 from a middle seat. The man at the aisle is spreading his legs into her space. That’s incredibly rude. She has so little space to begin with, and he has access to the aisle!
Retired UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from a Frontier Airlines flight in Las Vegas over the weekend in a dispute over whether he was willing and able to assist in an emergency while seated in an exit row.
