That is odd. So no really explanation from Frontier besides their excuse for mechanical and weather? People would have work in those 5 days, so, why would they expect someone to wait 5 days. Did you call Frontier customer service when you got home and told them what had happened?

I was asked by a few people if they could have the seat and replied politely that I was hoping to save it for someone... didn't have any trouble with that answer but it did raise the blood pressure a bit. Not that it would have been the end of the world to fly separately, but the whole uncertainty piece was unpleasant for me.
I just find it crazy that on SW you have to ask people if you could sit next to you. It's kind of annoying actually. I just like the simple seating assignments on every other airlines.
