Frontier also said that none of the money that is tipped to the cabin crew will be taken by the airline. After ordering your drink you can choose a preset gratuity of 15 percent, 20 percent or 25 percent, or your own customer percentage.
You can also choose not to tip, which is what former flight attendant, Jo Jo Hardner suggests, “flight attendants should not be tipped,” as it was “not allowed,” Hardner told USA Today.
Do you think it's right no drink is included and flight attendants should be tipped for drinks?
