What could have been better?: I was told when checking in I had 10 minutes "so I better hurry up" before checking in. My flight got delayed at Frontier to 5:57 and I arrived to to airport around 4:00 at BWI. I was never given an actual plane ticket either. While handling my suitcase, Frontier completely broke it. Lastly while boarding, the gate closed at 5:13 when the flight said it would depart at 5:57. Super chaotic and minimal help.
