Booked a frontier flight that was supposed to taken off at 8pm last night, it got rescheduled to 8.30 and then to 10.00 pm and finally cancelled and rescheduled 12 pm on Nov 26, and then to 1.30 pm and we are in the flight for the last two hours and are being about to taken back to the gate. Some one help us all! It has been extremely frustrating.
We understand the delays because of air traffic control. Hope they know that the flight to Trenton has been rescheduled for more than 15 hours and that they could prioritize frontier flight 3570 and bump it up. Hoping some one from ATC reads this comment.
#waiting 18 plus hours to get home.
If there weren’t massive delays, it would make news. That goes for every airline.
Delta was fine. No delays denver to Atlanta, Atlanta to FLL. As a matter of fact, my flights were early.
