Frontier wants to sell more of everything. They legitimately rip people off, go watch the videos of people who’s bags clearly fit and the employees are still charging them gate check fees.
Who is to judge who does and does not need one?
Agreed. And. Neither is any discussion of trading disabilities.
Unfortunately you can’t ever really know, so that’s on the individual’s conscience if they deliberately falsify a need for the wheelchair to get a preferred seat.
Or laughing at peoples sincere posts. Which is against forum rules might I add.
Oh is frontier open seating? Was trying to figure out what the benefit was.
That was the part I was missing I guess.
They charge ahead for seat selection I believe, which in a vacuum isn’t unheard of, but they charge fees for EVERYTHING. I’ve only flown with them a couple times. It was enough for me lol
Not to derail this thread further, but one of my favorite quotes I ever heard is something along the lines of, “If everyone put their own set problems into a pile with everyone else’s and then got to choose a new set of problems to have, everyone would end up choosing their original problems.” I can’t remember it word for word, but you get the idea.
Make a wish is for terminal illnesses, and is a *true* skip the line accommodation, as it should be. The family in that video may want to think about applying through make a wish instead.
It's sad that this has to be explained.
This has been answered by several people already, the system was being used as designed and as Disney instructed people to use it, that was the point of the post, Disney could have made changes to the program to limit it to specific use for individual needs and salvaged it, instead they chose to simply scrap the whole thing.
And has already been answered by several people, if the system hadn’t been powerused by so many people who admittedly didn’t need to use it all the time, then we probably wouldn’t be where we are today. The poster who, on the one hand complained that he is no longer eligible for DAS, and on the other hand complained that Disney didn’t programmatically prevent him from abusing it when he didn’t need to use it, is somewhat off-putting. Do you see why?
Just to explain why, once people with DAS for heat sensitivity decided it was socially acceptable to use it for rides with indoor air-conditioned queues, and once people with IBS who have no problem waiting in a 20 minute Soarin LL decided it was socially acceptable to use it for FOTL access at a 10 minute peoplemover line, the program’s fate was sealed. Both of those examples aren’t hypothetical, they were things that posters early on in this thread admitted to / bragged about. “Why wouldn’t they do it?” They asked? “Disney is letting them!” They said. This is the unfortunate consequence of that philosophy, which appears to have been widespread.
And this is why so many or so angry and having epic social media melt downs because for some the "free ride" is over.
You are still missing the point of the post though, people were using it as designed and as they were told to use it, we had no idea that was unsustainable.
