What Is Frontier Airlines Charges Hefty Hidden Baggage Fees at the Gate Class Action Settlement?
A proposed class action filed early last week claims Frontier Airlines traps customers into paying hidden, last-minute baggage fees before boarding their flights.
The 21-page lawsuit was filed by a Florida resident who says she booked a round-trip flight with Frontier after viewing an “attractive” ticket price on a third-party platform and reading on the airline’s website that customers are allowed one free personal item no larger than 14” height by 18” width by 8” depth.
What Is This Class Action All About?
However, 30 minutes before boarding her flight in May 2023, the plaintiff says Frontier presented her with a bag sizer smaller than the dimensions advertised on the airline’s website. When the woman’s bag wouldn’t fit in the compartment, Frontier charged her a $100 fee for the supposedly “oversized” personal item, the complaint contends.
According to the filing, Frontier uses this “bait-and-switch” scheme to induce consumers into buying what appear to be cheap plane tickets and then charging them fees they did not expect to incur at the time of booking. In fact, the filing alleges that the airline incentivizes employees stationed at the boarding gates to give out such charges by providing bonuses for each “oversized” personal item fee they levy.
As such, the lawsuit alleges that the airline misleadingly claims to “save you money on your flights” by offering “the lowest fares” in that it makes up for whatever discount it purports to give consumers in unanticipated baggage charges.
Who Is Eligible?
The settlement benefits all customers who thinks they were tricked into paying an additional fee that made them purchase far more expensive than Frontier originally represented.
