The U.S. D.O.T. ruled in my favor and forced Frontier to refund my $25!
What type of ticket for you buy? Was it $25 for a one segment/one way/ or roundtrip ticket? Even if they scam me $25 for a round trip, I guess I'd still save $23x2-$25 If they don't charge per person, then there 23x4-$25.

I'm going to try tomorrow so I'm trying to plan if I'm going to buy anything if I get a forced fee. I'll of course try the DOT report if this happens but I also want to make sure I'm saving money even if I get stuck with the $25 fee vs paying the carrier interface charge.
