introduction
I flew to Atlanta to for a few days, and now I was flying back to Trenton, New Jersey. I was pretty exited, because the random seats that were booked because of their "Low Cost" way of doing it, it was seats 3! which was a "Strech Seat."
It would be a short hop back to New Jersey, so nothing much to prepare.
Getting to the airport
Getting to Hartsfield Jackson International is really straightforward. I took the Shuttle directly from my hotel, (The Renaissance Concourse Hotel).
One drawback was that I had to remind the driver to drop us off at the North Terminal also (North Terminal is where all non-Delta domestic flights leave at ATL) . All in all very smooth.

Ground experience
Check-In was very simple, Frontier has free Self-Check-ins to print boarding passes.
The TSA was Really quick, especially being the busiest airport in the world!
When I approached the terminal shuttle, The Plane Train, I noticed something was off. My boarding pass and confirmation E-Mail said that the gate was D3, but the departure boards for the same flight said it was at Gate E4.
I first went to the E gates, and found a Frontier A320neo, heading to Denver. In 5 hours. As my flight was in about in hour, I took the pretty useless Plane Train one stop to the D gates. At the D gates I munched on a bagel sandwich from Einstein Bagel Bros, and watched some Delta 717s pass and go by the window.
Boarding went smoothly, but a huge messy line was formed during boarding. I don't blame Frontier for this, they just use a terminal used for 90 seater 717s.
aircraft
Type: A320neo
Registration: N378FR
First Flight: 4/20/2021
cabin/seat
The Frontier Airlines A320neo has 180 seats all in economy in a 3 by 3 config. The newly built A320neo had a more modern cabin, and a table larger than those on older Frontier Planes.
taxi and takeoff
Taxing out went smooth and was short, followed by a quick westerly takeoff.
food/beverages
Snacks and Drink were offered for purchase, but I was not hungry fore anything, and I had my own water.
Arrival experiance
The Landing and Taxi into Trenton was smooth and quick. I boarded off the unique ramp and got my bag from the puny shed at TTN.
Hi there welcome and thanks for sharing your first review here with us. Good detail for a first review, just missing some cabin pics. Would have been interested in seeing what the BOB menu looked like as well.
We don’t get review on F9 too often so it’s good to see.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your feedback! I had no intensions of making a review during this flight hence no pictures inside. Next time look forward to more cabin pics!
Sounds good! Yup, I figured as much. My first time I forgot to take pics of food and wasn’t sure I would make a trip report. Now it comes naturally after many many years. Back in the day over 10 years ago it was awkward, now with smartphone cameras being so good and people naturally taking pics of everything it’s much easier!
Looking forward to future reviews!
Hello, V51Aviation!
You mean you got extra legroom for free?? That's lucky!
I see I'm not alone. I got fed up with lousy and expensive BOB menus and started bringing my own stuff with me when I fly.
That's one nice fuselage photo! I didn't notice the pretty shade of green of their livery before!
You might want to check the time of departure and arrival you entered in the flight data. I am reading a flight time of 00 hours.
According to Wikipedia, Frontier and my local JetSmart are members of the same family! Both were created by the same investment fund. They only have 8 A320-neo, though, but as far as I know, more were coming. Still waiting!
Congrats on your first report, and welcome onboard! Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Looking forward to more reports from you!
