No adjustment if prices drop
 

On many airlines, if prices drop after you buy a ticket, you can get the difference refunded less in some instances a fee. With Frontier, you fly what you buy and there are no refunds.

Disappointing to say the least. Right now, Frontier's Christmas pricing to Cancun is high both compared to other airlines and to its own fares from last year. I believe they will drop but who knows. One year almost all seats out of Cancun on the Saturday after Christmas sold out and prices shot through the roof by October and stayed there.

Hard to know what to do. Rigt now, Frontier is at $706 RT. Think I'll want a bit. Wish me luck.

Price Drop - Reticket
 

Frontier will allow you to reticket the flight for a $35.00 charge. That said, it doesn't make sense to reticket a flight when the price has only dropped $35 or less. If you buy a $500 ticket and two weeks later the price is only $350.00, then paying the $35.00 fee is completely worth the effort.

Have you tried using Yapta yet? www.yapta.com It keeps track of ticket prices, including the price of a ticket you've already purchased. It works with Frontier's booking systems - you just plugg in your flight info and purchase price and it takes care of the rest.

They told me no. Got the idea that I could cancel and later reticket for a change fee but not get a refund. So if I cancelled the $500 ticket I'd have $500 credit to use on one future flight. But if that flight cost less than $500 less a change fee, I would not get a refund. So assuming the change fee is $35, to get the $350 ticket I'd have to pay $35 and still would not get back the $150 difference.


Have used it. Get alerts but when I go check the prices NEVER existed. Was just told my Cancun ticket dropped $95 for down 0n 12-22 and back on 12-29. Only problem was the lower price was only for a return on the 30th. Have had other bad Yapta yap as well.

United will give you a voucher good for one year for the fare difference. However, my experience has been that the voucher is hard to use. No way to use it electronically, meaning you either have to take it to a ticket counter or to a travel agent (the latter requiring a fee to the travel agent).

Southwest, on the other hand, will give you ticketless funds, also good for one year. No change fees, no penalties. Just cancel your original flight and rebook at the new price. Your savings stays in the "Southwest bank" under your original PNR number. Fly again with Southwest and use ALL of your money.

Granted, Southwest doesn't go to Mexico yet, but maybe soon?!? We can only hope! Southwest does go to Hawaii using connections with ATA.
