And 13 days in advance went from $99 to $119. And there's not grandfathering for tickets purchased prior to the change?

It's not completely negative - there's a lot of potential value in the extra 30 days that one can now make changes for free (60 days instead of 90 days).

If the ticket is for less than the cancellation fee what do they charge?

At the prices Frontier charge, I have no problem eating change fees! My most recent deal (thanks to an alert on onemileatatime!) is getting me here to Orlando (MCO) from Long Island (ISP) for just $0.64, yes sixty four cents airfare ($24.99 with taxes and carrier imposed fees added! For that fare, I'm more than happy to take a risk and eat the cost if I needed to change the flight!!!

What one gives with the left hand will also take with the right.

I disagree...it is new that someone can make changes without fee, say, 65 days in advance. Previously, that would have required a fee.

You can debate whether the increased fee after 60 days is worse. But this is one place I don't think they're actually being deceptive.

This is a bit of a negative change but still almost best in field.

Can't understand why there wasn't a huge ruckus when Alaska removed their no change fee policy on awards!

To get any decent reward on AS partners you have to book a year before the event. By eliminating the grace period booking AS rewards is a crap shoot.

A year ago I guessed that Mexico in late Nov would fit my schedule. In Aug I discovered that mid November is the only option so had to pay $250 in change fees

I am seriously rethinking my association with AS because it really increases the potential cost of an award!

So good on Frontier
