I even submitted the photos with the complaint that I filled out on their website. They said that because the gate agent didn't note our complaint about having to pay that they can't issue a refund.

It's not really always about that. At least where I live they are the only airline that offers certain direct flights or flights that don't arrive or depart at crazy times.

Exactly. I could take 2 suitcases yet would weight less than some people. One Scandinavian or Icelandic airline started to do that a few years ago and of course the fats were outraged.

Just got on my frontier flight at SNA to Vegas. There was no one checking bags. Probably 80% of people had personal items that looked like carryons. This is YMMV for now.

Just shove everything into your pockets before you board, then put them back in your bag afterwards
