Dear Friend or Madam,
This solution was bought for my boy (Fran) like a present for him to go to Colorado to go to his buddy by his friends mom Jill. Jill reserved the solution through Travelocity, and so I am uncertain of the info directed at her, but I actually do understand it had been a $300 solution and all I understood was that I had been getting my boy towards the airport to capture the trip. I had been overdue for his reserved flight which left at 12.25pm due to a additional household situation, and that I did exchange this towards the Frontier Team after I came and questioned what I had a need to do, they stated that they might have him on life about the next trip, they questioned how old he was and that I stated 14, they stated oh if so he cannot anyhow and also you have to spend the $50 Unaccompanied Small charge. I subsequently questioned what which was for and two people of the team there said it had been a FAA controlled fee that must be compensated (used to donot ask who started the charge, I questioned what I had been spending money on, one of these fundamentally stated, it had been for reassurance. Reassurance for what, easily did not believe my boy might visit Colorado and become secure, then I sure as heck would not set him about the airplane within the first-place, plus he's an adolescent starting senior school). I then stated used to donot believe their info was proper since my other boy had sailed many times because he was 13 to Reno on The West and we've never compensated extra to get a Small charge. One guy left at that time and that I had been assisted with a woman who subsequently proceeded to inform me I'd no idea what I had been referring to which simply because I didnot experience I ought to spend it didnot alter the way the guidelines were. I told her I was prepared to wander right down to Southwest and have them together with her, since I had beennot laying, then she said 'It'snot my problem that you had been late', which had nothing related to this, I'd previously apologized and I wasn't upset about that. I informed her she was excessively rude, she subsequently considered my boy and stated I am sorry you've to listen to your mother-like this, that was also excessively improper. I informed her she was rude which I'd never been so upset, that will be not a thing I actually do, she said I'd no idea what I had been referring to stated additional terms, stated she'dnot cope with me, offered me a to get a Small, took up my air travel ticket and remaining, without informing me what else was likely to occur. Next, another men helped me, I told him I was sorry that I was annoyed, but that I believe there must be much more info requested when arranging these seats, so when I examined in on line I also settled one more $20 currently for your 1 carrier my boy had and today one more $50 that was not prepared, as well as in real reality would need to spend one more $140 towards the solution all-up for there and back, which can be a lot of cash when you're budgeting, regardless of who's spending (which isn't our only or my buddies only-child that people have placed on airlines recent times). Why don't you simply cost a $340 solution and become completed with it, this way we all know everything you are charging. He again stated it was the guidelines that kids 14 and under not touring by having an person were unaccompanied children and there was a cost which was how all airlines run, I told him it had beennot therefore, but I was through fighting. I settled the extra charge which procedure getting almost 45 minutes to complete, that by itself looks insane. Additionally, I'd my other kids with me, he directed at them-and stated are they your kids I stated yes, and he explained they could not include me towards the entrance since I could just undergo. So then I named the 800-number about the brochure, the very first individual was good, but stated she'd to place me to client relationships, I subsequently spoke to Ryan, who I informed the above mentioned tale to, I stated that my buddy stated when she reserved she'd provided Joel’s era but there is no info considering that extra funds were required or around becoming an unaccompanied minor. He explained that my buddy had a need to create a criticism to who she'd reserved with, and that I have relayed on that info, he then explained that I ought to return to the sign in table and inform both Frontier Workers that had stated I had been incorrect that actually I had been right, that it had been not really a FAA plan but Frontiers plan for children era to become 14 and under and Southwest is 12 and under and Usa is 14 and under. I expected him if he was kidding, right! I'm not returning to express, I had been right, you had been incorrect, that's why I named Customer Support. Next I got my boy through protection and also to the entrance. At about 2.40pm, I requested the flight attendant easily might abandon my 14 -INCH/2 year old boy (who's a Newcomer in Senior School this season) together with her since I'd additional kids waiting within the final, that I didnot wish to keep alone considerably longer, she subsequently stated, why-didn't I provide them with me. Well, wow. I had been advised I really couldnot, exactly what a headache. Plus basically am paying $50 for an unaccompanied small charge and that I cannot actually abandon my boy who are able to look after herself having a Trip clerk for 10 moments, what's the charge for. Our buddy Jill was expecting him in Colorado to choose him up in the entrance where he got off the airplane, and Joel informs me he was not requested something or provided something unique about the trip, therefore precisely what we're spending one more $100 for. Would you shed kids about the real trip? Considering he'll be joining Senior School this season, I'd claim that 14 perhaps a little aged to become an unaccompanied small which many children entering senior school will also be 13 - 14 yrs old which appears more of the method to earn money than really spending money on one more support, that actually appears non existent.
I'm 43 yrs old and originate from Australia. I've sailed all around the globe on many-many various airlines for company and enjoyment and also have had a variety of encounters, but nowadays was undoubtedly the toughest encounter, not only with an flight but any company I've actually handled. Not just was your solution team badly informed and rude, your customer support consultant also was poorly experienced and completed our dialogue with smooth stop, till I stated nicely I suppose that is it then. He'd no answer apart from I ought to return, your flight attendant ostensibly was the topping about the dessert, though she did consider Fran the additional 10 minutes early, though I had been directed to definitely not abandon the final before airplane had removed, Why? (I did so delay - nothing occurred) What happens if he was on the connecting trip, might I have to contact when he came and delay until that flight departed~ what is the $50 for? Does this imply that if 30 kids continue a journey with 1 Instructor that 29 of these have to spend one more $50 since they're resting by themselves (ostensibly unaccompanied children)? Is there a stop for just how many kids? This might appear ridiculous and childish, but when you're contemplating steps to make money below, then perhaps, not too insane.
Eventually after reading your evaluation on Skytrax, I'd never travel along with you actually. Thinking about the state-of the Economy we're in, I'd genuinely believe that all of your personnel might better-educated inside your businesses Planis which of the FAA. Never ultimately inform a person he or she's laying when they were uncertain of absolutely the details. Realize that not all clients are out to obtain anything for nothing which we're all certainly experiencing the touch, therefore possess some comprehension when clients are stressed with extra costs. It'snot concerning the extra costs it's concerning the how these costs are now being given, being aimed, being requested for and so on.
Considering at all times their state of the Economy, the truth that almost 3 in 4 families are mixed households, indicating increasingly more children are traveling newer to determine mother or father or additional family unit members because of judge requests, this nearly appears like a method to increase the hardship of families currently in difficulty. Naturally 12 and under or possibly Grade 6 and below, these kids are youthful and need adult complement (actual help) not only a flight attendant about the airplane requesting once when they need a glass or two or require a colored guide bunch, but somebody that's there in the place of a guardian or protector for that point, that might be cash well-spent and really should be considered a national legislation, not as much as the tricky play of the flight seeking to create extra profits.
