Frontier Airlines passenger complains about sick passenger and said he should drive

A passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight was coughing and sneezing, and when the passenger in front of him complained to the flight attendant, the passenger was told he had the option to drive … and the exchange got even hotter after that.

It was on Thursday on a flight from Miami to Philadelphia. The passenger who filmed this video was on seat 25C on a crowded flight. The passenger on line 26 just behind him was sneezing and hacking, to the point that the 25C passenger asked to go to the back of the plane.

He moved back and, after the plane landed, complained to the captain that the guy on line 26 was clearly sick. A flight attendant intervened and said, “You have an option. You can drive your car if there is a problem,” adding, “You can’t tell people to get off the plane if they have a cough and sneeze.”

The passenger insisted, claiming that the other passenger was ill, to which the flight attendant replied: “You are not a doctor”.

We were informed that the passengers did a temperature check at the gate before boarding.

At one point, a flight attendant who is not seen in the video tells the passenger that he should be on an air exclusion list and the flight attendant you see agrees. Again, the captain is watching during the exchange.
