Avoid French Bee at all costs! While flying with my wife and two young children from Paris to LAX, we checked in online and got our boarding passes on my phone. The boarding passes explicitly stated that baggage drop closed 1 hour before (the time it stated was 13:50, flight was at 14:50). As such, we arrived 90 minutes early to provide some buffer, but when we arrived at the baggage desk they claimed bag drop was closed and that we were too late. Every agent was incredibly rude, disrespectful, and actively unhelpful. They stated that we needed to go to the ticket counter to rebook our flight, and the ticket agent initially quoted a price of $150 per person to change our flights. However, they said we needed to sit and wait for our original flight to depart (so we officially "miss" it) before they'd rebook us. Then, when we went to rebook, they claimed it was impossible for us to change to any flight within the next 3 days for under $2000. Ultimately, we ended up having to fly into SFO instead and fork over $2,500 for the privilege of flying in 4 hours late to an airport 300+ miles away from home. If they had even told me it'd cost that much initially, I would've just ditched our checked bag instead of allowing them to force us into missing the flight we had boarding passes for! I would never consider flying French Bee again, and I'm aghast that they're still in business with their predatory and dishonest business practices. There were at least another 5-10 people on our flight who had something similar happen, as well. It's a total scam, never ever ever get tempted by their "cheap" prices!
