there are no amenities whatsoever in the flight (no screens, no chargers, no included drinks or snacks - you have to pay extra, no reclining seats), and the seats are even more cramped than usual. and they'll nickel and dime you for everything, so better make sure you don't go over the carry-on size.
as long as you know what you are signing up for, they both offer some extremely cheap flights at times

Frontier is VERY strict on the baggage policy. Most recently I have seen their ladies@boarding gate made almost 7-8 out of every 10 passengers pay for their personal item because it DID not fit in their cabin personal item bin. So definitely be mindful of their baggage dimensions

What I posted above is the real deal. While I'm not explaining how to always max out savings, I'm posting the most valuable tip: this exercise isn't limited to $23 per segment. I've knocked off $50 on a "low-priced date quoted $80 on-line", and for some reason quoted over $300 by dialing Frontier's reservation phonenumber... Yes: paid $30 to counter agent while having the phone agent quote over $300 in my other ear.
I go further and explain that nearby Spirit counter was taking less off - $30 - on that particular occasion. If story were only about "interface fee", all of this would not be adding up.
Question stands: has anyone tried another airline, and also international segments? I was told savings were in hundreds....

Another loss with discount carriers is that they'll never offer due compensation for over-booking. While United/Delta made headlines this year for their offer of instant $10,000 cash for bumping a few passengers, you'd be very lucky to end up with $250 voucher from discounter.
Given all of the above, I'd rather deal with major airlines. Therefore, main question stands: has anyone heard of discounting at other airline counters??
You do have to make a special trip to the airport to get this pricing (and maybe pay for a short parking space), but you can understand how much you'll be paying by just paying attention to the fee breakdown on the carriers website. You can just remove the fee that I mentioned above, and then it'll help you calculate the actual price that you'll pay at the ticket counter. Be aware that some airports only have specific hours for ticket sales at the counter, too.
