Frontier Canceling Fiights
Just received an email that I need to call about my MCO - PHL flight on 4/11.
Checked the schedule and there are no flights on Saturday and one on Sunday (previously three flights each day)
The $15 I paid isn't worth an hour on the phone so I will fly AA home but a heads up.

I got the same email and my flight in a few days is almost assuredly going to be canceled (this flight has been canceled for the last 7 days).
Do I still have to call in to get the refund or will they process it automatically once the flight is confirmed canceled?

I'm in the same boat. Have a flight on April 7 that has disappeared from the F9 schedule (can't see it on the website.) I'm guessing that they are going to try the same crap as everyone else and insist on giving you a travel credit, rather than a refund. I have 5 pax on the reservation, and it's about $200 (total), so will be worth a bit of fight to get it back.

FYI, looks like Frontier is providing a number of reasonable options, assuming your flight is actually acnceled.

Glad I did not accept the vouchers they pushed so hard. I had booked flights from ISP to TPA for my family of 5 for Easter....over $3,000 worth of tickets. Now that they have cancelled I have opted to have the money put back on my credit card. I'm doing the happy dance today.

If for some reason your flight has not been cancelled, I would hold off until the last possible time as it may well be cancelled. If so, you can get your cash back.
The $100 voucher may be a decent one for cheap tickets, but it's worth remembering that credits won;t be useful if F9 goes under or the routes or frequencies you care about are cut for the long term.
Cash is king.

I only had two choices - a refund or a credit for the $15 value of my ticket and a $50 voucher.
I opted for the voucher which means they now owe me three of them including the two flights I cancelled last Monday.

Hope they are around in a form which allows you to use the vouchers.

It also says something about F9's liquidity that it is offering a $100 voucher to avoid a $15 refund. Not looking to the future means those vouchers may well be useful for Monopoly.

Yes I am just crossing my fingers for the refund I requested Saturday. Not a huge loss if I don't, and glad I'm not waiting on a $3k refund like Clamqueen

Weird I can't find any sort of news article on this, just a random article from Cleveland that mentions it in the context of only one flight remaining at CLE. I fly Frontier all the time being based out of DEN, hope they make it through.
