To whom it may concern, I am writing to express my disappointment with Frontier Airlines regarding a recent
booking experience. During my visit to the airport ticket counter, I was charged an additional $25 per passenger for
"Agent Assistance". I believe this fee is unfair and unjustified. As a customer, I chose to book my tickets at the
airport to avoid the "Carrier Interface Charge" of $23 per leg. Per the Frontier website, this charge is assessed on
bookings made through Frontier's website. In the past, to avoid this fee, the way to circumnavigate it would be to
book the flight at the airport during the times the ticket counter is open. However, by charging an additional fee of
$25 per passenger as an "Agent Assist Fee" for booking at the airport, Frontier is essentially nullifying the incentive
to book at the airport in the first place and is essentially making it impossible to avoid a "fee" to book the fare,
making the advertised low "fares" deceptive. In my opinion, this fee is not only unfair but also defeats the purpose of
offering a fee-free booking option. Frontier Airlines should be transparent with their pricing and not apply additional
fees that are not disclosed upfront. If Frontier Airlines is unable to waive the Agent Assistance fee for bookings made
at the airport ticket counter, I feel that this should not be a fee, but in fact be built into the fare price. Fees are
appropriate for ancillary service such as bags and seat assignments, which can be circumnavigated by not bringing a
bag on board or waiting until check-in for a seat assignment. As evident, it is impossible to avoid some sort of
booking fee in my situation [INVALID] I was already at the airport, so I decided that I would pay the fee regardless
as I had already spent much of my time to book this itinerary. I followed up with the Frontier Airlines customer
service team via chat. They confirmed that this fee I was charged is appropriate and justified. I did not argue with
their team, as I decided the agents may not be as familiar with the purposes and legal considerations surrounding a
"fee" with the fare. I would like to request a refund of the Agent Assistance fee that was charged to me, as I feel that
this fee is unjust and is not aligned with Frontier Airlines' commitment to provide affordable and transparent pricing
to its customers. I would also appreciate further transparency and clarification on these fees charged to passengers, as
the website has no reference to the Agent Assistance fee being charged to passengers wishing to purchase a ticket at
the counter; it appears to be vague intentionally so there is agent discretion on administering this fee. Thank you for
your attention to this matter. Sincerely,
2022
Swiss Air Ticket I purchased a one-way ticket on Swiss Air on October 2022, for a flight from San Francisco to
Athens departing November , 2022, for the amount of US dollars $ For personal reasons. I cannot travel on
that date. I contacted Swiss Air (I made voice recordings) to rebook me on a later date,I found a ticket for the same
value (I kept a copy of the future ticket price and date) Please keep in mind that when I booked and purchased the
ticket, the swiss air website indicated that I can Rebook without a fee (I have a copy) They asked me to pay an extra
$1298 on top of the original $ to rebook; otherwise, I will lose the $ I already paid. The nasty thing is
that Swiss Air will not keep credit for the amount I paid for future travel. So either I rebook for an enormous increase
in price, or I lose my money. I consider the policy of the swiss air despicable and plain theft, and I appeal to you to
protect me and all the other Americans who are treated that way. this practice is a ripoff. Kind Regards,
