Airline agents fired for mocking customer, not letting him check in for flight

  • A Frontier Airlines passenger was denied check-in and mocked by employees on May 2, 2025, at Raleigh-Durham International Airport while trying to board a flight to Boston.
  • The passenger arrived 50 minutes before departure, missing Frontier’s 60-minute check-in deadline and was told to pay a $25 fee for agent assistance, which he was unaware of.
  • During the incident, the agents behaved unprofessionally by ridiculing the passenger, which intensified after he began recording the exchange and subsequently purchased a $500 ticket from JetBlue to reach his destination.
  • Frontier acknowledged the incident, compensated the passenger, and clarified that the employees involved, employed by an external partner, no longer handle Frontier’s account.
  • The viral video of the incident sparked public backlash, highlighting the importance of clear communication of check-in policies and customer service standards in the airline industry.
