Jessica Anzai, one of the passengers on the flight and said the oxygen masks never dropped in the cabin, but she heard the pilots wearing them.
The scary thing was when they made the announcement, they had their oxygen masks on covering their face and you could hear over the speaker phone, and that was a little scary, as per Anzai’s statement.
Anzai said emergency crews boarded and checked out the plane, but passengers were told the source of the smell was not found.
Once off the plane, passengers were eventually allowed to return to collect their carry-on bags. That’s when Anzai said she saw the flights attendants being checked out by medical personnel.
Passengers waited in long lines for several hours to find out when they would get home.
Frontier reportedly gave passengers a $200 flight voucher, put them in hotels overnight, and rescheduled them on a flight Monday morning.
