Web Site Down?
 
I've been trying to logon to check some flights from TUS-CAK and can't get any access to the web site. Anyone aware or know what is happening???

Thanks

I can see it!

GVretiredguy Jun 21, 2011 10:22 pm

I'm really serious about this. I enter TUS-CAK 9/12 - 9/15 and all I ever get is the infamous screen Internet Explorer cannot display web page. Hour after hour, even using different dates.
Anyone have any ideas ??????

Thanks

So to clarify - you can actually get to the website. (You'd have to be on the website to be able to search for flights with your dates and city-pair) You're just not getting the search results page to show up.


It seems to be a problem for that specific city-pair. I get the "Firefox is unable to connect" message, too. What I could do is look at flights for TUS-DEN & then DEN-CAK, for your dates. (There were two connections going to CAK and one connection coming back) You might try doing that if you're just wanting to know what times are available and then maybe you could make the actual reservation (and find out the fare) by phone.

I've had some issues with the schedule lately as well:

These situation are unrelated.

When I use the timetable it appears that there is no return trip possible. Possibly the reason why the flight you're searching for isn't working.

Thanks LoneStarMike, things seem to be working now. Just to clarify what was happening, I entered the airports from, to , dates etc., from the F9 home page and got the unable to connect. Then I went from the upper left on home page to select "flight finder" drop down and got the same unable to connect message. I even used the "schedule" drop down and could get nothing. When I finally did get a flight list, there were no flights on the return date I was using, so that goofed it up. I really hate it when little teeny, tiny gnomes infect cyberspace.
I do appreciate your efforts to isolate the problem. Looks like it is back in operation.

Perhaps, they were working on the new website due in June. I think today is July 1.

Problems with website this morning.

One message is displayed, when trying to view a flight's seat map.


Seating for your selected flight is available at departure.
This is for flight several months away.

The other error message states:


We are sorry, but the server is unavailable. Please try again.
Update: Now receiving the following error:

They have been having problems processing payments for the last week. A phone call is required to complete the transaction. CSR informed me they are well aware of the problem.

mke9499 Jul 12, 2011 8:15 pm

Some customers are experiencing problems with OLCI.

The new website cannot come too soon.

JeffCO Jul 25, 2011 11:39 am

Yeah, there's nothing like getting notice of a sale and then being completely unable to access the site to book anything to fill a customer with good feelings.

So given that we're well past their deliver by date on the new website I'm going to have to assume that most of Frontier's web programmers were also damaged by hail over the past few weeks.

Stumblefoot Jul 25, 2011 2:38 pm

All of these continual issues with the website are really quite embarassing if you ask me. They just don't reflect well on the organization. They need to get their technical act together sooner rather than later.

It's never ending. The website, the call center, credit card processing. What's next? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Booked a ticket on Saturday-still not showing in my list of reservations under My Account. Doesn't come up when I click on 'view itinerary'. Good thing I printed a hard-copy when I had the chance; that appears to be the only proof of the reservation @ this point!

Sent an e-mail to the F9 twitter account on Saturday, as mentioned previously up-thread about unavailability of receipts for previous purchases. No response.

Are we sure F9 is even still in business???

Better yet, how are they still in business if this is how they run their business???

I mean, I know airlines view us paying pax w/nothing short of contempt most days, but F9 appears to be taking this to a whole new level :td:

I do not see my reservations under My Account either. Have you tried to use the My Bookings link? That is the one sure way that I can view and print my itinerary/receipt.

In case you are not familiar with My Bookings, the link can be found by following a few steps.

This page should display your reservations, and you can click to view details.

Sorry if you already tried this and it does not work; it's always worked for me. I found it one day, by accident. Not everyone is aware that the My Bookings link even exists.

Your reservations should also be accessible thru https://booking.frontierairlines.com...ationSearch.do.

Thanks for the link-it shows 2 reservations for me, one of which is for a flight I took last April. 2 additional upcoming reservations are nowhere to be found & I get 'we are unable to retrieve your reservation; please call...' if I plug in the PNR manually.

What I find most interesting is that the ticket I booked on Saturday that is absolutely no where to be found is part of a split ticket & does appear, complete w/F9's PNR, when I pull up the reservations on UA & AA's sites.

I plan to have a very long conversation w/my client about why my Oct trip, & forward, will not be on F9 :td: :td: :td:

"Technology Problems - MasterCard"

Posted on F9 website today:


We are currently experiencing technology problems that are preventing us from receiving approvals for some MasterCard credit cards when they are used as a form of payment on our website. We are working with MasterCard to resolve this problem and hope to have it fixed soon. In the meantime, if you receive an error, please consider using another form of payment for faster service on our website. You may also call our Reservations Center at 800-432-1FLY (1359) for assistance with ticketing using a MasterCard. This MasterCard issue is causing high call volumes, so please be prepared for an extended hold if you decide to call. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you soon on a Frontier flight!

F9's IT infrastructure does seem to be its weakest link right now. At this point I wonder of they'd be better off outsourcing a solution for their website.

The extended hold times existed months before the credit card processing problems began.

Seriously Frontier? I'm looking at US, WN and F9 for a PHX to DEN (I'm Summit). WANT to book F9 and cant get on to the website. My miles go to US for the likelihood of a F upgrade. Come on Frontier, get a website up and running, at least.

mke9499 Aug 4, 2011 6:39 am

Frontier is advising some that Travelocity and Priceline can book Frontier flights, if there are problems using the F9 site.

The new Frontier website cannot come any too soon.

Unfortunately, OTA's only offer Economy fares.

Not much help if you are looking for Classic, Classic Plus, or an upgrade to STRETCH.

The website's booking engine is due to be down overnight, starting at midnight CDT till 5:00am Friday morning, for "maintenance."

Why have they not posted a notice on the homepage to make customers aware of the down time?

It's totally ridiculous. BUT, I found a work-around. For some reason I am able to access the website, booking engine, etc.. etc.. through my smart phone.
Website is worthless on a CPU but if you access it via mobile, it works fine.
Just booked a ticket.

Found that interesting as well... notifying customers via Facebook, but not writing simple HTML for their own home page. It seems to me that the right hand and left hand have no idea what either is doing... i.e. Marketing vs. Technical Dept.

mke9499 Sep 9, 2011 11:38 am

Problems again, today.

Search engine just times out, no matter the browser.


The web address you entered could not be found[more information]You were trying to go to https://booking.frontierairlines.com...rrorForward.do

The error could be the result of a variety of things, from typing errors in the web address to DNS issues with the requested web address.
Could the problem be that the route being searched is being discontinued?

I've been noticing intermittent problems throughout the week.

With the Frontier website, that has been par for the course lately.

Management wants customers to book from the website but the website doesn't work so customers book from Expedia or the like, which cost the company more. Wouldn't it be cheaper to redo the whole website? They inherited the Midwest site which had more capabilities why didn't they use the services of the that site?

They really do need to do something about the website reliability and functionality. You bring up a good point about the YX site...some people were critical of the site and its abilities, but the F9 site is missing a lot of the functionality YX supported a handful of years back.

Changing to a new website platform is a huge project, and while I hope it is in the works, I don't want them to make it worse by cramming something in.

DenverBrian Sep 11, 2011 4:18 pm

Well, I just got a check-in email from Frontier, dated today at 2:21 PM...

...for a flight which I took yesterday at 3:15 PM.

So, yeah, I'd say Frontier has some work to do on their website and with IT in general.

Interestingly, I got a PM from MostlyAir on Sunday inquiring about this Frontier faux pas and promising to look into it...

...and now it's Wednesday, I haven't heard a response, and I have no check-in e-mail for my flight this evening. No doubt I'll get the check-in e-mail...tomorrow.
